Former Dynamo defender Betao, who celebrates his birthday today, thanked everyone for their congratulations.
"40 years old! Thank you very much to everyone! In 40 years, this is my second birthday when I am physically away from everyone I love.
The first time was in 2014, when I was in Ukraine. But you know, this does not upset me, on the contrary, it encourages me and gives me strength. Because if I'm alone, it's because of a choice, a professional goal, like in 2014. When we have a goal, we are tested to see if we really deserve to live that goal.
Obviously, I wanted to be with my wife and children, to have them hug me, but as I always say: "Only those who resist the processes live. Everything will always be for you! I love you," Betao wrote on his Instagram page.
