"Who would have thought, huh, Cris? It's time to say goodbye! I swear I didn't think this day would come! But nothing in this life is forever, I hope you are very happy on your new journey. It was almost 10 years of your side, 10 years of joy, good football, victories, defeats and wonderful moments! I learned a lot from you, your dedication is the most bizarre thing I've seen in an athlete. All the best to you and your beautiful family!"

"I will miss our reviews before the games when you hit the results and before the finals reassured us with your experience and the affection with the younger ones!"

"I'm proud to have played with you, not because you are the best player of all time but for the person you are !!! When I stop playing I'll sit at the bar and have a beer and I'll tell your stories and show all our photos. I'm sure we'll be together again..."
