After he was applauded by the Juventus fans recently for scoring a brilliant overhead kick at the Allianz Stadium, the Portuguese expressed his gratitude and respect for the supporters. He said after the match:
“This was one of the nicest moments,”
“To be applauded by the Juventus stadium, where so many great footballers have played, is a top moment for me.''

“It’s something that stays in your heart...I want to thank all the Italians who were here in the stadium and applauded me.”
The love he has for the club from his childhood and his respect for the supporters played a huge role in luring him to the Seria A. In a world where his agemates would have secured a lucrative deal to China or Japan, the attacker overlooked monetary gains and completed a dream move. It is never a wrong decision to follow one's heart, or is it?
