“I have always had everyone’s support. They always talk to me and ask me how things are going here in Spain ”.
“As I said before, since I was a child I have been an Inter fan. I dream of going onto the pitch San Siro in the Inter shirt. I will work to make this dream come true.”
Next he discussed which goalkeepers he looks up to and tries to learn from.
“There are many great goalkeepers that I try to follow. Alisson, Ederson and Handanovic are some of them. I try to see their games, understand how they position themselves, I try to steal their secrets.”
Brazao then commented on the recent praise he received from compatriot and legendary former Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar.
“I was very happy to read his words, Julio is an exceptional person. He has a very long history with the club and being praised by a player with his resume has made me very happy.”

“At the beginning of my career I was a striker but I’ve always had a passion for the goalkeeper role and as time went by I went on to become a goalkeeper and I am very happy with the choice I have made.”
He concluded by speaking about his penalty saving record.
“I’ve always worked on trying to save penalties but I also work on many other aspects f my game. It is not just the fact of blocking penalties that defines me as a goalkeeper. I really like big matches, the decisive ones. I feel a different energy.”
