Felipe Santos / Ceará SC

Returning to Ceará after just over six months, midfielder Lucas Mugni was presented to the press on Friday afternoon, the 10th, at Carlos de Alencar Pinto (CAP), in Porangabuçu. The 34-year-old Argentine spoke about the gratitude he feels toward the club and highlighted Vozão’s importance in his journey, both professionally and personally.

In addition, Mugni said he is doing well physically and mentally, a decisive factor in accepting the challenge of returning to Alvinegro. According to the midfielder, the goal is to help strengthen the team in the Brazilian Serie B campaign.

"My return here is much more than football for me. It’s everything. I’m very grateful to the Club. I was very happy here and I want the best. When you talk with your family, you set personal matters aside and start thinking about them. Here, for the first time, I felt that the Club is much more important. I felt the call to help [...] I feel very, very good. I know how great the Club is. If I didn’t feel ready, I wouldn’t come back. The affection the Club and the fans have for me has to be repaid with results. My purpose is to contribute, by being involved in goals, which is what we need to win, and to put my energy onto the field," he said.

On his return, Lucas Mugni will wear the number 11 shirt. Asked about the weight of the number, made legendary by idols such as Sérgio Alves and Magno Alves, the midfielder said the choice was natural and stressed that he intends to build his own story in the black-and-white shirt.

"As for the number, honestly, when they gave me the chance to choose, I liked it. I didn’t think too much about it. Once I step onto the field, it’s me. The pressure will be big because of the current moment. What the great players did, for me, won’t be a burden, because I’m clearly a different type of player. They are great idols. I’m a guy here to help," he explained.
