Of course we come thinking about another gold, Brazil are the five time champions. We have never lost a competition. We know that these are just numbers. Statistics stay off the pitch. Brazil is a very well prepared team. We are professional in our approach. And our technical team is highly competent. If you have that set up behind a very good group of athletes, then you can see how serious we take the game. So the consequence is medals, the players are more skilled nowadays. Stronger and better trained because of their physical preparation. Today we have a very dynamic sport where the players change positions, constantly, where an attacker has to defend, and a defender has to attack. This change has been remarkable. Well I feel good because it's something I like to do. Of course I have fun, but I have responsibility because I take it seriously. There's no disability, no limitations. No difficulties. It's the opponents that impose them. But it’s something that we overcome. I like representing Brazil, a country of so many people. I represent my wife and my family, when I'm on the pitch, I condense all these feelings and channel them into football. So that it brings me more and more joy. My friend Jefinho, you know, well he is an exceptional player, a distinguished player who is very skilled and we know that at any moment he can produce something special and decide the game for us, with his moment. He’s the guy who's been a difference maker. He's the guy who's been scoring the goals. He showed that in the last Paralympics. Being the guy from Brazil, the guy who led us to the title, I believe he's ready to help us to win gold once again. We want the Gold, but it's going to be difficult. We will give our best and whatever God wants will happen. It's a very strong group, and it will be the most difficult Paralympic competition and the hardest in history. But we are prepared to go in search of our goal, which is gold.
