Palmeiras’ No. 10 explains celebration

– Actually, I celebrated the goal there in my own way, together with the fans and my teammates. Sometimes there’s some banter, but it’s very harmless. I would never want to disrespect Flamengo as an institution, a very big institution, we all know that. And at that moment I went to speak to my family, who were in a box over there. For those who don’t know, I’m from Rio de Janeiro, right? So my family and friends came to the match, and some of them were in the box – he began.

– I went to celebrate with them (my family), and they (the Flamengo players) thought I was doing it toward the fans, but I wasn’t. I was only celebrating with my family, and I have a lot of respect for Flamengo as an institution and for the players as well. So it was purely a game situation, you know? – he concluded
