Less visible last season when he was really criticized, the Brazilian striker went through complicated times. A subject far from taboo for him since he has already spoken about it, as has the fact of having called on a psychologist. Help which was essential for him as he declared in an interview reported by Sport : “the psychologist saved my life, because I only thought about stupid things. On Google, I only searched for bad things, about death… And today, I can say: look for a psychologist, it’s very important.”
“After the World Cup, I was going to train and I already wanted to go home, to my room. I don't know what was going through my head. I even told my father that I was going to quit football. I had just competed in a World Cup, I was at my best level, but I was reaching my limits. I was depressed, I wanted to give up. I who seemed mentally strong, after the World Cup, I had the impression that everything was falling apart”he also explained.
