Alemao’s experience has taught him that excessive criticism can erode confidence, while excessive praise can lead to complacency. He prioritizes self-assessment, saying, “When you get a lot in criticism you run out of confidence and when you get in the praise you can believe what you are not. I look a lot at my game and try to improve it.” His dedication to self-improvement has yielded impressive results, with 12 goals to his name and a reputation as a key player in the league.
The Brazilian striker expressed his satisfaction with his current form, noting that he is happy to have reached his current level of performance. He acknowledged that the beginning of the season was challenging, but he has since found his footing. Alemao emphasized the importance of contributing to the team’s success, not just through goals, but also through his overall performance. He stated, “The important thing is what I can help the team, not only with goals. The objective is to do more damage to the rivals, it is what the strikers have to do.”

Alemao’s adaptation to Spanish football has been a significant factor in his success. He reflected on his first year, which was marked by individual challenges, injuries, and a steep learning curve. However, he has since become more physically and technically adept, allowing him to better navigate the demands of the Spanish league. When asked about his goals for the season, Alemao adopted a pragmatic approach, saying, “I always have to put a goal in the next game, if I get it in the season you just have to add.”

Alemao also addressed the issue of arbitration errors, which have affected his team in recent matches. He acknowledged that it can be difficult to ignore these incidents, but emphasized the importance of moving forward and focusing on the team’s performance.
