Such performers as Oleh Husiev, Domagoj Vida and Yevhen Makarenko can also do it if necessary. Still Brazilian defender is sure that he’ll have regular starting spot if he gains his best conditions.
- At the moment I’m totally focused on training sessions. In Brazil I had my injury cured. Anyway I don’t think about vacation any more.
- You haven’t scored for the last three seasons already. Does it bother you?
- Though I’m Brazilian I play as defender. Scoring is not my main task. Of course I have a desire to do that, but first of all I must follow the tactical scheme.
- Last year you signed a new three-year contract with FC Dynamo Kyiv…
- I feel great here. Our club sets ambitious goals. Still I got some transfer offers from European and Brazilian clubs.
- This year Dynamo will play 11 friendlies within the preparation for second part of the season…
- Sparrings and training sessions are useful. It’s very important to accomplish training program.
- Coaching staff lets different players feature as right back. Does it bother you?
- I’ll have regular starting spot if I work hard. Still coaching staff must have backup. For example Oleh Husiev played as right back when I picked up injury.
- Who is the best Brazilian player in Ukraine?
- I think Edmar. He is FC Metalist Kharkiv key player.
- Could you also become naturalized Ukrainian?
- Maybe I’ll agree if I get such proposition.
- Are you going to attend World Cup matches in Brazil?
- I guess Dynamo training camp will start by that time. Still if I have at least one day I’ll do that.
- Are Brazilians able to win the World Cup?
- Sure, Brazil are the much-fancied side. Players have great motivation, besides fans will be supporting them.
