“Certainly. If it's a final between LDU and Palmeiras, I will score the goal and, with all the respect I have for Palmeiras, for everything I experienced, if I have the opportunity to score in the final, I will do it and celebrate. It's not out of disrespect, but for the club that opened its doors to me, which was LDU,” he revealed.
