00:00My love for football comes from my grandfather.

00:10He wanted me to be a professional footballer and he did everything he could to make it happen.

00:19At 18, Real Madrid knocked on my door and I came here.

00:25Now I can say that I am a Real Madrid fan.

00:29Here I have formed a family with my wife.

00:3316 seasons, 25 titles, 5 Champions, one of the captains and so many magical nights at the Bernabeu.

00:42How crazy!

00:43Madrid is a different club.

00:47Madridism is an inexplicable feeling.

00:51Playing with the jersey of my country, from the lower divisions, has also been a great honour.

00:56In my memory, I have two Olympic medals and a Confederations Cup.

01:03Returning to Fluminense meant giving back to the club what it gave me.

01:07Helping to win three titles, including the Copa Libertadores.

01:12And leaving a legacy for the youth at the Estadio Marcelo Vieira.

01:18My story as a player ends here.

01:22But I still have a lot to give to football.

01:26Thank you for everything.
