The ninth signing announced in this mid-year transfer window, Rian Santana was officially presented as a Ceará Sporting Club player on the afternoon of Tuesday the 15th. The forward gave a press conference in the Sérgio Pinheiro Press Room, at the Club’s headquarters in Porangabuçu, and spoke for the first time about the responsibility of wearing the black-and-white jersey.
“I can only thank God for the opportunity. I’m very happy to be wearing this huge Ceará jersey. May I give my best, as I have throughout my entire career, and bring happiness to the black-and-white fans,” he said.
Wearing number 16, he made his debut in the 1-1 draw in the Clássico-Rei of the 28th round of Série B. With just over 30 minutes on the pitch, the winger made a good impression on the fans, contributing with shots and creating more attacking movement. In one of his answers, Rian spoke about his debut.
“Regardless of anything, you have to have personality. That’s my characteristic: taking defenders on, without fear, shooting, without fear. And, thank God, I was able to debut in a Ceará shirt and debut well,” he said.
These and other excerpts from forward Rian Santana’s introductory press conference are available on Vozão TV’s YouTube, the platform’s official channel of the Most Beloved.
