How do you feel now?
I am a bit tired, but more than tired, I am happy. The parties? Amazing. We knew how difficult this competition would be. We must enjoy this moment. Reaching the final is a huge milestone, so we have to celebrate with our fans.
Those brilliant goals
I am very happy. My family and I know what we went through three or four months ago to enjoy this moment today. I live a dream. I have experienced a lot in my personal life, and now everything is changing. I am really grateful to God that I and my family enjoyed this moment.
For a long time – with my mother, my wife, my sister and my brother – I cried because we have experienced such difficult times to finally enjoy a moment like this.
Emotional but full of hope
Yes, yes. When the game ended, all these emotions came in. It was joy and a feeling of relief, because I experienced difficult times in life, and now I live an incredible moment – not only on the field, but also for my family. That means everything. I feel really happy.
