WHAT DID JEAN LUCAS SAY AFTER THE BAHIA VS. VITÓRIA MATCH?

After Bahia’s win, Jean Lucas spoke to reporters as he left Barradão Stadium. In his remarks, the former Flamengo player explained that he had not meant any disrespect toward Vitória and also made clear how happy he was to score the winning goal in the derby.

– It wasn’t disrespect, football is losing a bit of its fun. In the past, guys did all kinds of celebrations; nowadays you can’t take off your shirt and show it to the crowd. Football is getting a little boring. You just have to enjoy the moment, the fans needed it, and we were coming off a draw. There’s nothing better than these three points –, said Jean Lucas.
