« Anyone who knows my background knows that I have never been a violent player, » wrote the Brazilian on his official website

« I did not participate in this conflict with the intention of hurting Thiago When I saw that the accident was going to happen, I took my foot and hit him with my knee in the pass , which was inevitable due to the speed of the game

« I have already texted him to apologize and am doing it here publicly as well. Hope he was not hurt and everything is okay

« I also apologize to my team-mates, my club and my fans for leaving them one less at the end of the game Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to change what happened, apart from thinking, working and moving forward «
