Romarinho was officially presented as reinforcement of Vitória, this Saturday (19), in Salvador. “I’m not afraid of pressure,” he announced during an interview.
Will wear the historic shirt 7, which has already belonged to idols like Bebeto. The choice of number was made by the supporters, in a vote that brought together more than five thousand participants and defined the preference for number 7 instead of 90.
The player arrives as the club’s main hiring in the second semester window and assumes, now, a leading role in the red-black cast.
During the press conference at Barradão, the former al-ittihad player demonstrated confidence and willingness to help Vitória overcome the bad offensive phase, which has lasted seven goalless matches. This is the worst mark in almost 50 years.
“I’m ready, I’m not afraid of pressure. If I’m physically well, I will deliver my best to the fans and the club,” he said. Coach Fábio Carille was a key piece in the negotiation, encouraging the striker’s return to Brazilian football after more than a decade in the Middle East.
Veteran
Although part of the crowd raised doubts about her age, Romarinho countered with tranquility, citing examples of prominent veterans in the national scene. “I see Hulk and Thiago Silva playing at a high level. Age doesn’t worry me. I know my potential,” he said.
Titles in Corinthians
where he won Libertadores, Brasileirão and World, the striker now seeks to write a new chapter in Vitória, promising effort, goals and collective commitment. “I’m not a savior of the homeland, but together we will reach our goals,” said the athlete.
