« I ended up in Buenos Aires by chance and they took me to see the big game this weekend. And all these people are cheering for this incredible team. Anyway, we are very happy to be here. Obviously we have a great opponent and we have gone further in the championship than we ever expected, but I feel good. My work is done. I can only look at the players there, they are focused. Atlético-MG has great people, I'm very close to the owners, people don't know that. I know they will be ready. It will be a great match… “, he declared in comments relayed by UOL Esporte.
