“Well, people... Atleticos... Today, with sadness, but at the same time of happiness, I come to say goodbye to all the fans of Atlet, all my people. I'm sad that I haven't been able to be a bigger part of this family, being a day, but happy that I was part of it, of this big club”.

I've had some difficult times here, from which I've always been raised thanks to the help of doctors, physical therapists and teammates. And happy moments that are already in my memory and in all of”.

But I want to tell you I'm happy that I've been able to make history and put my little name in that big club. Something I always wanted, but I never imagined it could happen”.

I want to thank everyone in Atlético, but I think my time has come and that for me and the club, it was the best thing that could happen. I think it's the best time for both of us, and the best way to help this team and the club. I've given my best, or at least, I've always tried to give my best for this club and this fan”, he wrote further.
