Hulk highlights dedication to prolong career: “We pay a huge price”

Forward Hulk scored, this Sunday, his first goal wearing the Fluminense shirt in a 2-0 win over Bahia at the Maracanã, in a mid-season friendly. After the match, the No. 7 spoke about the dedication needed to keep performing at a high level and highlighted the care he shares with Thiago Silva, who also made his return for Tricolor.

According to Hulk, longevity in a career requires discipline and many sacrifices off the pitch.

— Thiago and I take great care of ourselves. We have huge respect for football, and we’re privileged to do what we love. We don’t know when it will end, so we try to keep going for as long as possible. But we pay a huge price. As you get older, you have to give up many things.

Hulk was one of the standout players in Tricolor’s win, opening the scoring against Bahia and finding the net for the first time since arriving at the club. Thiago Silva, meanwhile, wore the Fluminense shirt again after beginning his third spell at Laranjeiras, coming on in the second half of the match.
