— Brazil is not for amateurs. There are things that are cultural and we are not all the same, we don't have to think the same way. I talk a lot to the directors about what can be improved, innovated… But it's something cultural, it can't be changed -, he commented, before concluding:

— I can't see it as if I win, I'm the best in the world, but if I lose, I'm the worst. That's not how things work (…). The only thing I do is that I'm the same whether I win or lose. I'm just happier when I win and more downcast when I lose -, concluded Abel Ferreira in an interview this Tuesday (03).
