Find out what ‘Harry Potter’ said in his first statements as a Vitória player.
The reception
In so many years of football that I have, being received in this way is something wonderful. What I can tell the president, the CEO, the technical team and the fans is that I will do everything possible to achieve our goals. If they came to me for their determination and irreverence, they will have me here in full body and ready for what comes next.
Why did you choose Vitória? Will your career end here?
Vitoria was the club that gave me confidence, that believed in me. It is not necessary to speak much of Vitória because we know the great history it has. I will finish my career in Vitória.
What can you bring to the club, what ambition do you bring to Vitória?
Ambition is always to win. I know I will bring a lot. I’m still ready, physically fine. The rest left me with the talent that God gave me. Let’s do a great job. We have a very young team, with some experienced players, I think we can have a great championship.
Why Vitória when talking about Boavista and FC Porto?
Nobody ever told me about Boavista. I was on my way to the Algarve when I found out. There were not many conversations with FC Porto. Vitória was the club that gave me confidence, that believed in me. I am here to give my all for these people, because they deserve my respect and I give everything for them.
Or determining factor
What made me come was confidence, realizing that both the president, the directors and the technical team believe in me. What made me stay in Portugal was my family. It was time to go back to Portugal, I couldn’t finish my career at any club. So I decided to finish my career in Vitória because Vitória is great and if God wants us to be bigger.
He never played with Tiago in clubs, but they were teammates on the national team. What will it be like to have Tiago as a coach?
The confidence he gave me was important. Before signing I spoke with Tiago and he gave me a lot of confidence. It is important to feel that people believe in me, the rest I do.
Do you have the ambition to return to the national team?
My concern is to help Vitória achieve the goals of all of us. When Frenando Santos wants to call me, I’ll be available, my main concern is my team.
What does it say about the players who return to Portugal like Gaitán at Sp. Braga and Javi García at Boavista?
It is a sign that we are evolving. The great players who end up in Portugal for some reason. It is a sign that we are not as weak as many paint our championship, I am very happy that our championship is more competitive. It is gratifying to train in Portugal, in a club as big as Vitória.
You will start playing without an audience. Do you expect this scenario to change?
I cannot finish my career without feeling the affection of the fans, that full stadium, that noise they make inside the stadium. So I hope it is resolved quickly, that they can return to the stadium because the fans are important for all clubs. I have not changed, I am still the same. I’m ready for whatever Tiago decides is necessary to help.
