"My son told me to learn the national anthem [laughs]. I already knew it, but he hadn't heard me sing it. The people, the place where I am, and the people have been amazing. Since I arrived in Peru, I have felt the love from the people. I never thought I would experience that kind of affection," said Gabriel Costa.
"My son started singing the national anthem, and those are the things that one values. We will take the match against Brazil as a rematch," added an emotional Gabriel Costa.
