And we managed, together, through his work, that for three, four years he was, as you said, one of the greatest scorers, depending on his strengths and quality. He was even called up to the national team. We all know the love and affection he has for this club, but I can’t tell you much more about that..”began.
“We also counted on Weverton, and Weverton made another decision. This is a subject that I personally don’t have much information about. It’s something that is more under the jurisdiction of the president, Barros and Veigabut, of course, I’m counting on Veiga. There’s no way to say that I don’t count on a player of this size. He is an idol of the club.“continued the commander.
