Felipe Santos / Ceará SC

Returning to Ceará after just over six months, midfielder Lucas Mugni was presented to the press on the afternoon of this Friday, the 10th, at Carlos de Alencar Pinto (CAP), in Porangabuçu. The 34-year-old Argentine spoke about the gratitude he feels for the club and highlighted Vozão’s importance in his journey, both professionally and personally.

In addition, Mugni stated that he is doing well physically and mentally, a decisive factor in accepting the challenge of returning to Alvinegro. According to the midfielder, the goal is to help strengthen the team in the Brazilian Série B campaign.

"My return here is much more than football for me. It’s everything. I’m very grateful to the Club. I was very happy and I want the best. When you talk to your family, you put personal matters aside and start thinking about them. Here, for the first time, I felt that the Club is much more important. I felt the call to help [...] I feel very, very good. I know how big the Club is. If I didn’t feel ready, I wouldn’t come back. The affection the Club and the fans have for me has to be repaid with results. My purpose is to contribute, by being involved in goals, which is what we need to win, and to put my energy on the field", he said.

On his return, Lucas Mugni will wear the number 11 shirt. Asked about the weight of the number, made legendary by idols such as Sérgio Alves and Magno Alves, the midfielder said the choice was natural and emphasized that he intends to build his own story in the black-and-white shirt.

"As for the number, honestly, when they gave me the chance to choose, I liked it. I didn’t think too much about it. Once I step onto the field, it’s me. The pressure will be great because of the moment. What those great players did won’t be a burden for me, because I’m clearly a different type of player. They are great idols. I’m a guy here to help", he explained.
