According to Offsideplus.az, the Brazilian midfielder said that he decided to consult with his family before moving to the Eagles:
"I am glad to be back in Azerbaijan. Our head coach Rashad Sadigov asked me what I thought about my transfer to Zira. After consulting with my family, I answered in the affirmative. I know that there were many ambitious teams in the Azerbaijani Premier League. We also have a very good team. "I will be able to help Zira."
