One more “striker”

By: Lucas | May 27th, 2009

ObinaObina has arrived at Academy of Football. He’ll stay in São Paulo for 1 year on loan. Former CR Flamengo’s striker was presented by Palmeiras’ president Luiz Gonzaga Belluzzo that rarely go in a presentation of a new player.

I came because it involved a hiring controversy and wanted the fan to know that the responsibility is mine. I approved this contract.

Obina doesn’t score any goal for 17 matches. He was much criticized by Flamengo’s fans but around a year ago the same crowd support him saying that “Obina is better than Eto’o”.

I always thank to Flamengo for everything that happened to me there and that’s why I’m here today. I thank them, but now I wear Palmeiras’ shirt of body and soul. I’ll start a new life and it’ll be very important to me.

Obina has already registered in Libertadores Cup, he’s gonna use #24 that it was used by Evandro (finally he went away) purchased by Atlético Mineiro.
