The Brazilian goalkeeper train much and here in Brazil there are good coaches goalkeeper - I think that makes a difference. Moreover, there is a very large competitiveness in the championships here, which makes the goalkeepers have many moments axtivos and are always accompanied in the form técnica.Tenho Nazari goalkeeper of Iran, which for me was one of the fastest evolved, as the goalkeeper of Italy - Mammarella - besides Spanish Juanjo ... I think we are going through a good guard-generation redes.No Brazil we have an excellent supply of goalkeeper.

Since beginning his career so far, as you see the evolution of their specific position? To what extent is different being a goalkeeper now than it was a couple of years ago? Your training has changed a lot?

When I started playing, we played fairly under the crossbar, we used more agility, reaction and reflection ... would attack the ball more and the average height was menor.Hoje have great goalkeeper facing better, so no need to jump to defend , play more upright, not attack the ball, putting themselves in the path of the ball, something that derives from a Spanish school and had great influence of Luis Amado, a goalkeeper outstanding. There is a significant change in position and this change is that coaches recente.Espero goalkeeper may merge schools Spanish (European) position and very technical movements with the Brazilian, agility, speed and quick reaction.

He is happy to finish this cycle seeing the Liga Futsal emerge as one of the strongest - if not the most powerful - the World with great players returning to Brazil?

Sure, I am honored and even more so by end this cycle of my life in ACBF (Carlos Barbosa).

Remained faithful to Carlos Barbosa and further to the Brazilian futsal, never having emigrated. Why was so much time on the same team? Was there any time when you had tempting offers from abroad, including from Portugal?

I was so long due to the structure, planning, a good salary and also due to my family, who loves the city. I had plenty of invitations to play outside Brazil, including Portugal. But the ACBF always gave me very good working conditions.

Looking back, is there anything pity not being able / done as a player?

Yes, having won more titles when he was in active [laughs] ... the player lives in my search for titles and they've always been very determined.
