The end of Pevidém–Benfica was marked by Pedrinho‘s tears.
In the RTP 3 flash interview, the 33-year-old midfielder, born in the town of Guimarães, couldn’t contain his tears when talking about his dream come true.
«I just wanted to thank everyone, because everyone knows how much I love this club, how much it means to me. I had a career that many call a failure, I could have gone to other heights, but I was happy, I’m happy. And no one can take that away from me. This game was the icing on the cake, I can now retire happily”, said the player after his home club’s defeat to Benfica (0-2), in the 3rd round of the Portuguese Cup.
«I managed to sleep very well, but during the day I remembered a lot of people who deserved to be here. From João André, our captain, to Vítor Hugo, to Emanuel… all of them who made this club from a district to a national club», said Pedrinho about the emotion this Saturday, at the end of the game in Moreira de Cónegos.
«I could be here for countless hours thanking everyone who made this moment come true. There are many. To all of them a big hug and thank you very much. I can now finish my career, I’m the happiest man in the world. I only regret that Di María hadn’t come, I would really like to have made my dream come true. But he might send me a Messi shirt. I’ll leave the address later, it might end up in the mailbox”, concluded the Pevidém star with humor.
