Period at home
"I'm more discreet. I use social media, but I don't show off the things I do. I think I need to start doing a little more; the fan base is very large, they don't follow what I do, and it's something I can start doing."
Affection from the fans
"I never imagined all this, but thank God it worked out. They asked me about the Joker every game after the game. Until one day, after so many, I told them to call me Joker. I didn't know it would work out, but it did. It's that old story. You don't change a winning team. Joker won't change. It's not easy to score goals, but when you do, that's it. Vapo Vapo always."
Childhood dream
"The manager called me and said he was counting on me. I've always wanted to play here. I was desperate, wanting to come. It's always been my big dream. Marcos (vice president of football) made it very clear to me that I had to show that I wanted to come and said: 'I'm only traveling to bring the player, I'm not leaving Italy without you.' So he went there and brought me."
Red-black cast
"How many titles are there? I'm lost. It's the best squad. What impressed me most is that it has several established players, and off the field, they're all sensational. That's why we fight for each other. We let others speak for us. They say we're the best, we only do the talking on the field."
