General
RELATIONSHIP WITH COACH
He has a special relationship with his coach and step-father Marcos Goto. His birth father abandoned him and his mother while pregnant. "I don't call him father, but not because of him. It's because my paternal memory is very bad, my dad left my mother when she was pregnant so my mother was my mum and my dad at the same time for me. Then Marcos came. If you ask me if he's my father, I'll say yes, but I don't call him that because it brings up bad memories." (globoesporte.globo.com, 03 Apr 2014)
