“Mom never scolded me. Dad was tough, tough, difficult – continues Conceiçao -. Mom was the typical mother who protects the children, always had a beautiful word to say. The most important person for me, even if I don’t want to forget my wife otherwise gets angry (laughs, editor’s note). In the end there is the habit of pain, but it always remains. I am used to this pain and I can go on and go on.” What would I tell my parents today? I always say it when I win the titles and smoke the cigar, the first words are for them. They taught me, sometimes without speaking, they transmitted me some very important values that I still carry inside today. They are the basis of my character, my personality and my desire to arrive, to be successful. It is also for them. As a professional, but also as a man. I have 5 children, they are my light, my life, and I am proud to pass him these values that taught and transmitted me “.
