The brief moment of weakness from legendary Fofão couldn’t be hidden behind her smile. She simply wasn't able not to cry when she heard Brazilian anthem, minutes before her last game in national league and also on the court, after the final match.

Fofão gave an interview on the court in tears.  

There were also a lot of emotions during the press conference after the Brazilian playoff final game between the new champion Rexona/Ades and Molico/Nestlé Osasco.

The best scorer of Super League for the season 2014/2015, Gabi, spoke about Fofão’s qualities as a person and as a player. Rexona’s coach Bernardinho did the same while Fofão returned kind words to her coach.

„I could not be anywhere else, I had to be here for this moment. Bernardinho never treated me like Fofão for more experience that I have. He rotated me in the line-up. He always charged me and that was what I needed. I did not want anyone to cuddle my head. If I was ill, I would be out. He treated me like any other player, because that was what I needed. I did not want to be here because I’m Fofão. So, this respect he had for me and the will to win – that has helped me. We still have the Club World Cup, we will play it before I close this cycle, but I wanted my gratitude to be recorded,“ said legendary setter.
