And how to train with Flamengo?
“We go out to practice all day. I practiced late at night at Gavea and my brother trained in the afternoon at Ninho. Only my grandfather could pick us up. So we’ll leave the house at 9 in the morning on a boat ride. We went to see my brother practice. Then they will come to watch me practice. We took the last boat back at midnight. It’s very tiring But at the same time it’s really fun. In pursuit of this dream Our grandfather is awesome. He has the goal of watching us play professionally. But unfortunately, he didn’t catch up to see it because he lost it first. Yet he gave us this opportunity. I think you would be proud now.”
