"(What was missing from his career?) He missed winning a Brazilian championship. ( Wasn't there a club missing?) My father is a Basque fan (laughs), I played for his club. (Did he play for yours?) Yeah... No. (Can you tell me which team you love?) When I can, I go and watch my team's games. (Is he at Libertadores?) Yes, he's at Libertadores", said André, who saw the mystery go 'down the drain' because of his father.
