The Brazilian shared that when he was seven years old, his father was sentenced to three years.

But it actually happened,” he said.
The midfielder stressed that this story had a serious impact on his character. “I have seen enough of what kind of people are behind bars, in what conditions they live, what kind of suffering this causes. And this discouraged me from repeating their fate, ”he said.
