“Eu já falei isso um milhão de vezes e não canso de falar. Quando eu estava mais abandonado enfraquecido ou no chão, na lona, a única torcida que acreditou em mim, as vezes até quando eu não acreditei em mim, a nossa torcida acreditou, estendeu a mão, me tirou do buraco”.… pic.twitter.com/7qDKsavevD
