I have lived with pressure since I was born, because I come from a very dangerous place

Convictions for racism: “In the last three months we have already managed to put three or four people in jail and make them pay for the crime they committed. And we can reduce this as quickly as possible, because even a person who is racist will be afraid to say it when there is cameras, and this will decrease and affect other people too.
“The Ballon d’Or and Vinicius thing was unfair”
On the right path: “We are on the right path. I play in Spain, where I suffered a lot and still suffer sometimes, but of course less and less with the help of all the clubs and all the people who are doing everything possible to combat racism” .

Anti-racist fight: “I know my importance, but I always say that it is everyone’s fight, because I alone cannot fight against everything that all black people are suffering. But I know my size, I know the strength I have, my word, and that I can speak for all those people who are afraid. I believe in talking about those people. So I am very happy to be able to help and continue strong and strong in the fight together with all the players and all the people who were able to help us.”

Measures against racism: “I always think that any help is welcome. Black people have suffered for a long time and the time has to come when all this ends. That’s why FIFA, which is a very strong name along with the CBF, along with all the players “We have this strength to fight. So let’s continue together, firm and strong so that here and in the very near future, the children who come to our future have a better life.”
The pressure: “I have lived with pressure since I was born, because I come from a very dangerous place, where I suffered a lot and arriving at Flamengo as a professional was also a hard blow. I arrived when I was 16 years old and I had a lot. The national team is no different, I have many ups and downs I always want to evolve to do great things for our country and difficulties will come, but as I already said, I have been through many ups and downs and I want to do everything and continue fighting together with all my teammates, with the entire technical committee and all of our staff. to put Brazil at the top”.
