Joao Paulo, after his debut at FCSB: “I'm very happy to be here”
“I'm very happy to play for FCSB. I'm also happy with the win, of course. We're taking it game by game, we have seven finals that we want to win.
It will be a difficult game in Galaţi, we have to win it. My favorite position is number 8, but if the coach wants, I also play left back.
All the players here are good, but I liked Olaru since I played on tour,” said Joao Paulo to Prima Sport.

It's important that we won, that was the goal, we achieved it. We created many chances, we had the chance to score 3-4 goals, it's an unwritten rule: we conceded a goal after misses, but it's good that we reacted.
We had to make our match easier, have a bigger advantage. I always say that the most difficult thing is to create chances, in the last three games we managed to have important chances.
– Elias Charalambous, FCSB coach
