“Don't even remind me of that. I was so ecstatic that I didn't even realize they went to the other side of the field to celebrate. When I saw it, Bidu and André were pulling my pants down. It was a special moment with the fans, I apologize for the inconvenience they saw there, but let's move on. This is Corinthians,” he said in an interview with Cazé TV.
