Hulk overcomes sickness, brace v Corinthians: “We deserve titles” | OneFootball

Forward vomited in the locker room and needed medication at halftime, but overcame physical difficulties to secure the away win

Hulk secured Fluminense’s victory over Corinthians away from home by scoring both of the team’s goals, overcoming a severe physical illness and turbulent days behind the scenes. The forward revealed that he had vomited in the locker room and needed anti-nausea medication at halftime before returning to the pitch to seal the score.

In an interview after the final whistle, the player explained that he has been dealing with recent problems and sleepless nights, describing the moment as an intense personal trial, but stressing his reliance on faith to keep helping the team.

— Man, these last few days haven’t been easy for me. No one has any idea of the spiritual war we face. This past week has been difficult, getting down on my knees in the middle of the night to pray because the enemy wants to take away our peace. But when we put Him first, we can always think positively and believe in what we cannot see — the forward said.

Besides this moment of physical resilience, Hulk was also keen to praise coach Marcão’s work and the unity of the Tricolor squad in pursuit of the season’s goals.

— As for Marcão, I respect him as a coach and as a person. He is an exceptional human being who treats everyone well, with respect. This guy deserves only the best in his life and professional career. I have nothing but praise for my teammates; it’s a wonderful group. We deserve to experience good moments here and achieve important things, which is our goal — he concluded.
