(...) I would like to thank everyone from the club: the Coach, for believing in my work and for being with me in every moment, especially the hardest ones, and for making me become not just a better player, but a better person; to the President and the Committee, for fighting for me since day one and for making me feel important; my teammates, I have no words to describe what we are together and everything we did for each other. Thank you to each one of you for teaching me things about life every day, and a huge thanks to the Staff; an especial thanks to Guzy, someone who was always there for us, behind the scenes, that several times, in the morning, went to the Stadium just to open the door for me so I could train a bit more. You are a winner, an amazing human being and a friend; Final but not least, an enormous thanks to our 12º players – the fans! Without your support, none of this would have been possible. You are one of the main reasons why we are where we are. Thank you!(...)
