00:00It was a hug to say that we did it, that we did it. I was 20 years old that day.
00:09I did it. I had a lot of achievements. I left here unharmed.
00:16I went around the world and came back practically as a hero.
00:23Our hug was a relief.
00:27I'm very happy today. I'm crying of happiness because I won.
00:33It wasn't easy. I had a lot of ups and downs in my life.
00:38But to come back home with this prestige, where everyone is shouting your name,
00:43to receive the king's 10, is something surreal.
00:48I never imagined this in my life. I just have to thank God.
00:50Mentally, I'm very happy. Renewed, with renewed energy.
00:56When I did it here, I felt the affection of the fans.
01:00It made me go back to my 17, 18, 19 years here at Santos.
01:04It rejuvenated me. I'm very happy.
01:08Today I come back very matured, as a man, with a beautiful family.
01:14He's another guy, obviously.
01:18But with the mentality of winning, with the essence of an equal child.
01:25I came here to be happy. It's a club I love.
01:29It's the fans I love the most.
01:32There's no better way to get married than with Santos.
