now retired, Fred has participated in several television and internet programs to talk about the main moments of his career. The former striker was hired by Fluminense in 2009 after a good spell at Lyon (FRA).
About his arrival at Tricolor, he recalls how the beginning was and says that he lived a lot in the club and slept little. He also says that, as he always liked to train, he ended up not getting enough rest and getting injured. He still mentions that that year was one of the moments that made his relationship with the fan gain strength.
– The reception was crazy. I felt damn good but I got hurt a lot because of the night out. I drank and didn’t sleep and I always enjoyed training. I would go out, drink and train and then I would burst my muscle. I was out of action for four and a half months and the team had a 99% chance of going down… 12 games to go. Then I got some sense, I refocused and we escaped in that last game that had a pauleira against Coritiba. My relationship with the fans got closer with this feat and after the 2014 World Cup – he said.
