A champion of Rio, Brazil, the Americas, and the world for the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved), the player explains why this fourth title will be unforgettable.

"This title is very special. After this year, in which we didn't play well in every game, we had difficulties, but we reached the final and won the title against the best team of the regular season (Bauru), so I think this title was the one we most expected to win. It's a dream," he said.
