Luciano hits back at haters, vows to stay at São Paulo | OneFootball

Luciano was the main figure in São Paulo's victory as he reached his hundredth goal for the club, in addition to providing another assist, in the 2-0 win over Bahia at Morumbi on Saturday night (25), during the 30th round of the Brasileirão.

Off the field, the number 10 was also the focus of post-match interviews, discussing the eternal love-hate relationship the tricolor fans have with him, even making an appeal to those who go overboard with criticism and attack the player's personal side.

“I think when things don't go well, they can criticize me, boo me, curse me, it's all fine. I have to take those criticisms and improve from them. When it gets personal, when they go to my wife's social media, my mother's, my sisters', and threaten my daughters, my family, that's when it becomes personal because I can't perform as well.”

“I think criticisms are valid. I have 100 goals wearing São Paulo's jersey. Are there fans who don't like me? They'll have to start liking and getting used to it, because there are twenty players with 100 goals in this jersey and I'm one of them,” Luciano expressed in the mixed zone at Morumbi.

“My affection for São Paulo is very strong. You can go to my social media, you can curse me, boo me, demand from me, do whatever. I just ask, please, for the fans who like me, don't threaten my family, my daughters,” the top scorer emphasized.

“My wife even posted the other day that someone said they knew where I lived, where my daughters studied. Then my wife gets scared, I get scared too, because I'm here to help. I'm at São Paulo to help. Sometimes it doesn't work out, but I'm also human. I will make mistakes, I'm not the perfect player. So, I just ask that when you demand, demand only from me, don't get into my family's personal side,” he added.

Luciano also dismissed any rumors suggesting his departure from São Paulo at the end of the season, assuring his stay until the end of his contract.

“Every time I go through a not-so-good moment here at São Paulo, people start saying things, saying that people close to me said I didn't want to stay. If anyone knows this person, let me know because I didn't say anything like that to anyone. The only person who knows my wishes, the only person is my wife and my family.”

“I'm very happy here, I'm really happy, when I'm criticized, my teammates and my family help me a lot, so I'm very happy here, I have one more year on my contract and I hope to fulfill it,” said the São Paulo number 10.

CELEBRATION FOR THE 100 GOALS

“One hundred goals, I'm very happy. I'm very happy, I want to enjoy this moment with my family. My wife is here, when I'm being cursed here, she's there with me, right? My little daughters too. So, I just want to enjoy this moment, have fun, and from tomorrow think about the next final,” he celebrated.
