The defender of Juventus and the Brazilian national team, Daniloon the occasion of the press conference of Raphinha, intervened with a microphone to ask a question to his teammate, who responded with emotion to his captain. Here is the exchange between the 2 Brazilian footballers.
Good afternoon, Raphinha, I’m Danilo from Voz Futura, the emotional sustainability channel. I would like you to list some difficult episodes that he had in his career and what human traits he had to develop to overcome them.
“Some times in my career, I would say even in very recent times, I thought about abandoning everything due to personal or professional problems, I thought about giving up, about leaving football. My life is well underway, I wouldn’t need to go through some mental problems or some difficulties in media matters or even because of the fans, because I’m not doing what they think I should do.
I thought about giving up, leaving football. But today I have a greater strength, which is my son. You blew me away, man. Imagining that one day he (my son) can see me as an inspiration in football, maybe not as the best player in the world, but just as a reference for him, is worth a lot. Seeing my son grow up while he learns that his father plays football and represents big clubs was a great motivation to continue thinking about not abandoning football. And also my dream of winning titles with the Seleção. This weighed heavily on my decision.”
