Thanks to the head coach for giving me the go-ahead to take the free kick. It’s good that we turned the match around, because in the first half, to put it mildly, we weren’t at the races. Then we got the game back on track. I’m not the first goalkeeper to score from a free kick; that happens in football, the main thing is for the team to win. Now call me Rogério Ceni.
