First of all, I always have to thank God. I practice that shot every day; whenever I get near the edge of the box, I try to shoot. I tried it in the last game, I’ve kept trying, and thank God, today I managed to hit it. I’m very happy. I think this is the result of a lot of hard work. One thing I always say and carry with me is that God helps those who work, and hard work pays off. I’m someone who dedicates himself a lot on the pitch, always looking to improve, always looking to evolve. And that is definitely what has allowed me to help Flamengo more and more on the field. And I hope to keep helping even more and bringing joy to the Nation,” said Evertton Araújo.
