1 min Machine translated Sports
And do you regret anything that, in, in your career?
Like, going to a team or not going, or not accepting something like that, like, "Oh, a, an offer from that team, I didn't go. Ah—" anything? Is there anything like that in your career?
No, I'm really happy with the career I've had so far.
Of course, I didn't go, I, I— you know, the situation that happened to me, I didn't go to a club I dreamed of playing for, but— Which one? I didn't know about that.
City. But... To go to Aston Villa, there?
No, no, no, I didn't go to City because of the, the investigation I went through, you know?
Oh, sorry, sorry. If you don't want to answer, don't.
I didn't know about that. No, no, it's fine, fine, fine.
So— But why did you have to turn it down?
Because I was in the middle of the investigation, you know?
And then it lasted two years. It wasn't your choice, it wasn't your option. It was like— No, no. Yeah, I couldn't go during the investigation.
Then it lasted two years, and then it turned out that after two years, like, I was older, obviously, the situation was different, my—my situation at the time was different and I stopped going, but do I regret it, man, I don't regret anything.
I mean, I was really happy at Milan, I was really happy at Lyon, at Ajax.
And now— But in Europe, was your dream Manchester City, not Real or Barça?
No, it was City, it was City. I've always really liked City.
Man, I never imagined in my life

Aí durou dois anos, aí acabou que depois de dois anos, tipo, fiquei mais velho, obviamente, a situação era outra, a minha-- meu atual momento era outro e eu deixei de ir, mas me arrepender, cara, não me arrependo de nada.
Assim, fui muito feliz, tipo, no Milan, fui muito feliz no Lyon, no Ajax.
