VIDEO. Caio Ferreira: “I didn't know anything about Romania! Guilherme told me only good things”

– Caio, congratulations, you are the player of September! How was this period for you?
– I am very happy for winning this individual prize, but I think it is the result of a group that works together. The joy of winning this prize is huge, but I want to dedicate it to all my teammates, because without them it would not have been possible!

-How did you accommodate FC Argeș and what convinced you to come to Romania?
– I trusted the project when my agent talked to me. I didn't think about it, because there was another Brazilian here. He told me extraordinary things about the team. I did not hesitate, I wanted to come and join the team to help the club.

– What did you know about Romania and FC Argeș before you sign here?
– To be very honest, I didn't know anything. I asked Guilherme to give me information, and he only told me good things here. I had one more reason to come.

“I discovered talent by playing on the streets near my house”

– Did your childhood in Brazil be poorer, with weights?
“Yes, for sure.” My childhood was very difficult. I had to go over many things when I was very young, I lost my mother at an early age. But that was an extra motivation for me.

– There everyone wants to become a footballer, when did you realize that you will play professionals?
– I noticed as a child, playing on the streets near my house. I already had a lot of talent, and then it grew more and more.

– In Romania there were Brazilians who shone, Eric de Oliveira, Wesley. Do you step on the footsteps?
– Certainly, Brazil is a great reference to players and I want to continue to evolve.

– What are your main qualities? What do the world need to know about you?
– I think my individual dribbling is very good, one by one, as well as the shot in the offensive area.

“Our mission here is to keep FC Argeș in the top”

– The inhabitants of Niteroi painted you on a huge building. How much such gestures motivate you?
– This is a huge motivation, no doubt. I feel very happy and honored!

Thousands of kilometers away, in Niteroi, a small city that the Brazilians call Cidade Sorriso, the walls tell a story written in white and purple. If the Romanians conquered him through his performances and by football played with a smile on his lips, a natural attitude for someone from the city of smiles, the Brazilians from Niteroi won with his story. Caio has become a symbol and an inspiration for the local community. Thanks to him, on Argeș's match days, the streets of his native neighborhood dress in white and purple
