Statements from Weligton:
 
(Eager to play) “Now’s the time to start, these will be my first minutes of play this season, and little by little I hope to do well and gain confidence.  I’m really eager to get out and play, I hope that all goes well and I’ll get back to form.  To get back to being 100%, I need to play two or three consecutive matches, I want to work well and help the team, to keep working at the front and the expectations are good.  I’m working and fighting for when I have an opportunity, I do it well”.
 
(Confidence in the team and the unity of the group) “From the inside, we know it’s not easy, just because of the arrival of the Sheikh and the great players we have, doesn’t mean we’re going to win every game.  We know we’re going to have bad times, but we hope the team maintains the UEFA position and continues to move forward.  I’m the first one to defend the team, we’re united and we’ll demonstrate this in home and away games.  We have the great support of our fans, we rely on them, but things are going well and we’re all happy”.
