Choque-Rei controversy
-I don’t give many interviews because I don’t like you knowing me from the human side. But I have already written three books in which I share everything I do. All proceeds go to deserving institutions. I am an ambassador of the National Library and I do a lot of things that you shouldn’t do… I don’t know this gentleman anywhere, maybe he is an extraordinary person. I understand and accept the heat of the game. When I kicked the microphone, no one wanted to know why. I was punished and I did it. I took the reporter’s phone, apologized and was punished for it. We are not in church, the emotions of football are different, said Abel Ferreira.
Mayke or Marcos Rocha?
-Mayke is versatile, has cutting-edge characteristics, despite being a full-back. He is sharp, he crosses. He makes a good pair with Rocha, who is more balanced. I like having players like this in every position. Rocha provides multiple passes, safety, construction. Mayke brings more running and depth to the game. In some matches I will need Rocha, in others Mayke, commented the Portuguese coach.
Endrick
-In some games I will need Rocha, in others Mayke. In others, like Morumbi, if I had both, I wouldn’t have to drag Endrick down the hall. Veiga didn’t make it, López didn’t make it, none of the midfielders. We had to make a change and sacrifice the attacking side of the player to ensure balance. He did it very well. In the second half we adapted, explained the Verdão coach.
