Even though he was not called up for the game against Estrela da Amadora, Ukra found a creative and inspiring way to support his teammates. Instead of staying at home or looking for other activities, the striker decided to accompany Rio Ave fans on the bus to Reboleira, showing his support and unity with the team.
Ukra’s exemplary attitude inspired not only his colleagues, who left praise on social media, but also football fans in general.
“For me, being a football professional means doing the best I can, whether on or off the field! And off the field is not just about food, rest and all the other care we must take. It is also about supporting and giving strength in the best possible way to the entire team and staff who work so hard towards a great common goal! And that’s what I do every day!
Today I wanted a different day for myself and my family. Early in the morning we were present at the Rio Ave stadium and came by bus together with all the fans. Amazing experience.
Thank you to all the fans for the affection shown towards me”, wrote Ukra on social media.
