Shakhtar newcomer Lucas Ferreira gave his first interview as a player of the club
– Lucas, you have just signed a contract with Shakhtar, so what are your thoughts right now and how do you feel?
– I’m very happy to start this new journey here in Ukraine. God is blessing me, and I know Shakhtar fans are wonderful, so we are on this path together. I’m very, very glad to sign a contract with Shakhtar.
– How did you find out that Shakhtar had an interest in you and what was your reaction?
– I was very happy when I saw the news online. I immediately told my father: “Dad, I want to go, I want to go, I want to go!”. God blessed me, opened the doors – and I’m here. Thanks be to God!
– Tell us about yourself as a footballer: what position do you play and what are your strengths?
– I play as a right winger. I attack well, finish well and I like to carry the ball.
– What squad number have you chosen and why?
– I chose number 37. I think it will suit me.
– We know that you have known Newertton since your academy days, when you played together. Did you speak before your move to Shakhtar?
– Yes, I spoke with him. He is a very good guy, calm. I also spoke with Marlon before moving. He is a monster defender, he has history at Shakhtar. In general, all Brazilians here are making history, and I came to add to the team.
– And which of the Brazilians who have ever played for Shakhtar did you admire?
– I talk a lot with Marquinhos at São Paulo, there are Fred, Dentinho – they are an example and a reference point for me among Brazilians.
– What goals and dreams do you have together with Shakhtar?
– To win many titles with Shakhtar, to be a good person, to become better as a footballer. And to win trophies and titles.
– What would you like to say to Shakhtar fans?
– Fans, I’m with you until the end. I promise to always give my all. Go, Shakhtar!
