Diego Carlos: "Sevilla FC has allowed me to change my story and that of my children"

   SEVILLA, 7 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Brazilian central defender Diego Carlos affirmed that Sevilla has allowed him to change his "story" and that of his children in his farewell to the Seville team in which he has played for the last three courses, after closing his transfer to play in the 2022 season- 23 at Aston Villa in the 'Premier League'.

"I come from a very difficult story in my life and I am very grateful for believing in my work and bringing me to this club, in which I have been able to grow as a footballer, as a human being and also as a family man. I have conquered things and now it is difficult both for me and for my children, because Sevilla proposed to me to change the history of myself and my children", he said in the anteroom of the Sánchez Pizjuán.

Accompanied by the Vice President Gabriel Ramos, the Sports General Director Ramón Rodríguez Verdejo 'Monchi', the directors Luis Castro and Jorge Marín and the General Business Director of Sevilla, Jorge Paradela, Diego Carlos pointed out that the sixth Europa League had "more value" for he than the Olympic gold.

"Because it was the first title won. A Sevilla player remains here, I will be forever, because my youngest son has even had the pleasure of being born in this blessed city," said the 'hero of Cologne'.

The Brazilian, who received from Vice President Gabriel Ramos and Monchi a shirt with the 136 games played as well as a picture with the best moments as a Sevilla player, acknowledged leaving "with a broken heart".

"I saw myself training with them, but I wished everyone luck and that they have a good season. In Seville I have learned everything, from the moment Monchi hired me I have learned a lot, everyone has taught me a lot and every day I wanted more. I think that in these three years I have learned to be a new player and a better person", he declared.

In addition, he thanked the club for the opportunity to say goodbye to his 'home'. "There was never a sad day, not even with the pandemic, we were focused on being happy. We all have the merit of each conquest, from the first and until the last day I have felt very happy thanks to everyone... I arrived with a lot of ambition and Thank God I was able to show that I could be better and I did. Seville will always be my home. I thank Monchi for the opportunity to say goodbye and from the first day I said I didn't want to say goodbye on Instagram, I personally understood that I had to move here with you "I'm here for the club and for the fans. I've always defended the club with my heart. When I failed on the pitch, my wife couldn't even see my face... she always gave her all", he commented.
