Victor Sá unveiled and emotional: “It’s hard to believe I’m here” | OneFootball

One of Tricolor’s reinforcements for the rest of the season, forward Victor Sá was officially introduced this Tuesday (21) at SuperCT and gave a press conference after being welcomed by football executive Rafinha.

Coming from a São Paulo-supporting family and being a lifelong fan from the stands, the player did not hide his emotion upon arriving at the club.

“It’s really hard to believe I’m here. Sometimes, we go through certain things in life, and only our family is by our side and does things for us. I’m just grateful to my father, my mother, my grandmother who passed away, and my brother,” said the player, who chose the number 27 in honor of his brother Raphael, whose birthday is on that day and who was present at the presentation.

“I don’t want to go on too much about my brother so this doesn’t turn into a sob story (laughs). But he believed in my career more than I did. He was with me when I had no strength left,” said the forward, who added.

“My father is a die-hard São Paulo supporter. Unfortunately, he couldn’t be here today for personal reasons. I’m sad because this is a very special moment for him. When the opportunity to play here came up, my father talked to me and cried a lot. Within my family, this has always been something very motivating,” he added.

During the conversation with reporters, Victor Sá also recalled a few moments as a fan.

“I grew up at MorumBIS watching São Paulo. I remember a Libertadores match against Cobreloa, when Luis Fabiano scored. And also the Brazilian title that São Paulo clinched with a draw, when Leandro climbed onto the crossbar. I was at the stadium. Those are two memorable matches I remember being at with my father,” recalled the player, who continued.

“The first time I walked into SuperCT, a whole movie played in my head—how hard and painful it was to get here. I’m going to give my best for São Paulo; it’s the only way to show my gratitude to the club,” he concluded.

Victor Sá, 32, was with Krasnodar in Russia before joining Tricolor. The player became a free agent after the end of the European season and signed a contract through December 31, 2029.
