“I was very happy here, my family and I were very well received and I really liked everyone, the fans, the people I met here in Brazil. The Superliga title was not possible and I would love to return to Sada Cruzeiro to win this important trophy. I really wanted to continue here and if I ever played in Brazil again, it would only be for Sada Cruzeiro. It is a club where I was very happy, people welcomed me very well, I made friends and I really enjoyed playing with my colleagues and Sada Cruzeiro’s professionals. I hope to be back soon”, Sander said.
