It is recognition of the work I have been doing since I arrived. I am very happy because it means I am contributing a lot to the team, to my teammates, and that I am bringing a lot of joy to the fans. I want to thank the coaching staff and the players, who I spend time with every day. To my wife and my son, who put up with me every day at home, and they are also part of this. And to the Players Union, who chose me as the best player. It means a lot to me. Thank you very much."
