The 'Depredador' was very controllable for Internacional de Porto Alegre, and before being replaced, he received a flattering comment despite his performance in the 23rd round of the Brasileirao.

"He leaves annoyed because he didn't have much contact with the ball, nor a chance to score a goal, and he lives for scoring. He also heard the murmur from the crowd, and that also annoys him," they commented from the ESPN studios.
