"I am very happy to win this award again. It reflects the season I've had, but I want to acknowledge my teammates, as none of this would be possible without them.
"They handle the toughest challenges, and I hope this isn't the last award—I aim for more accolades like this. We ended the year on a positive note, and we're entering the new one with great enthusiasm, ready to give our best."
He joins an illustrious list of Brazilian legends who have received the EFE Trophy, including Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Romário, Ronaldo Nazário, Roberto Carlos, and Casemiro.
