“I am very excited. We are with the captain that I have watched since my childhood. He took a picture of me and his son. I was very touched. I am very excited.
Our goal celebrations, maybe our styles are similar. I’ve watched a lot since I was a kid. Maybe it’s etched in my memory. I always dreamed of being a football player like Alex. I remember how happy I was with the goals he scored and how much I cried when he left. Very different feelings.”
Alex also congratulated Enner Valencia, who broke his own record (28) with 29 goals.
