Winger of Shakhtar Tete spoke about the decision to move to the championship of Ukraine at such a young age. According to the 20-year-old Brazilian, Gremio did not want to play him in the first team, so he accepted the offer of the Donetsk club.

" Later I proved in Ukraine that I was really ready for this, but then nothing happened in Brazil. My manager and I talked with the club president to get playing time. We put forward the conditions, but they did not arrange it.

Gremio wanted me to start playing for the first team in 20-21 "

" Shakhtar’s proposal suited both me and Gremio, so we decided to move here. Everything goes well! I play! Those who said that I was not ready should now think a little about their words, "

This season Tete played 30 matches for Shakhtar in all tournaments, in which he scored seven goals and gave four assists. Recall that the Brazilian winger became the best player in the 27th round of the Ukrainian Premier League thanks to a decorated double into the gates of Alexandria.
