The fact is that there were two or three people on the fence, some of the enemies that football gives you. And in a small stadium, we hear everything. Some personal offenses towards my wife, my family. It is not appropriate now to repeat what was said to me, I think my mistake was to respond there at the end of the match”.

We could be classified today, you know what I’m talking about, in a very different condition. So, break the taboo (against Corinthiansat Neo Química Arena), title of the Super Cupleadership of the group and classification for the next phase, I see a very positive result”.
