On his time in India so far…
This is my first time in India and I really like the people here. The food here is a bit different from Brazil but I have started to like the food in Hyderabad. I have also visited the Golconda Fort and the Tank Bund last week and tasted a few dishes and I am really starting to love it here.

On facing Odisha FC in Hyderabad…
It feels great to be back home. I like playing here in Hyderabad. The atmosphere is good and I hope we get our first win here tomorrow. We know we have to fight hard for it and we are ready. I always go into a game thinking I can score. We know this could be a tough game but we have a young squad that can go toe-to-toe and register a win.
On cementing his place in the team…
The competition for places in a team is quite normal. It is important that I give my best wherever and whenever I play. We have a few decent strikers in our team and we all hope to give our best for the club in every training session and every game.

On his partnership with Edmilson…
Me and Edmilson are good friends. We both speak Portuguese, eat and practically live together. We have a lot to share on and off the pitch and hope to do well for the club.
On setting targets for the season…
I hope that we as a team fight for the top-6 this season and we have a squad capable of it. I have not really set any personal milestones but I would like to keep scoring and winning games for Hyderabad.
