Naturalized player Ickerson.
Facing the camera, Exxon shared his journey after returning to Brazil, "Oscar asked curiously why he didn't see me play in Gremio, and Hulk asked with concern that I hadn't been seen after practicing for more than a month. So I explained the situation to them in detail."
"At that time, I was faced with two choices, one was a long-term contract and the other was a short-term contract. In the end, we decided together to go for the latter. I realized that I had moved away from Brazilian football and wasn't sure if I would be able to adapt again, but I wanted to stay in the limelight of my country's fans, coaching staff and the media through this year of hard work and performances in a bid to become a member of the Chinese national team again."
Talking about his physical condition, Ackerson said frankly: "My physical condition has not yet recovered to the best, because the previous three months or so were spent on individual training without systematic training. However, recently the club's coaching staff and myself have felt that my physical condition has improved and I look forward to getting better and better in the future."
