During the long interview granted by Felipe Anderson on the official Biancoceleste website, the Brazilian playmaker spoke about his last match with the shirt of Lazio against Sassuolo: “Will I be able to sleep before Sunday? Eh, we’ve almost reached the most difficult interview. Even if I knew that one day it would happen, I don’t know what I’ll feel but it will certainly be a beautiful and difficult day. In these last months I had time to think, I enjoyed everything and I had everything here. I made this choice with my heart together with my family. It’s difficult to say goodbye, a word that I don’t want to say to Lazio and its people because I will always carry them in my heart. I will miss him, yes.”
Who do you wish to follow the path he did at Lazio?
“I wish everyone, if they stay here, to reach goals and win trophies. I see Rovella very well, for me he is one of the strongest. He is very young and can make an incredible journey here. Before arriving I saw that Hernanes was famous in Brazil and he came here, he came here to Lazio in his best period and I followed him a lot. Being able to come here and play together was an honor. He did many good things with the national team too.”
A final thank you?
“I want to thank the fans, they have been incredible years. I apologize if sometimes in some matches things didn’t go as we wanted, but we always tried to do our best. I tried to do everything to make you happy and I will I will do it until the end. Sunday is the last match and, if I play, I will give everything and it will be a special day because I will see the stadium full. I will always be one of you. Thank you for everything you have done for me and for the my family, they love you. They always told me that there was something special about Felipe Anderson, the footballer and boy. We will always carry you in our hearts.”
