“Me and Henderson, we are two people who fight, who give our lives for their team. And on the field there is no way to ask 'please',” he told ESPN Brasil.
“So sometimes it seems that the mood is high, but it’s two people trying to fix it, do things in the best way for the team and try to help.”
The former Roma shot-stopper admitted it has been a challenging season but is confident the Reds can turn their fortunes around.
“Of course it’s been difficult, it’s been a great challenge. We are human beings and we feel as much as anyone else. We get frustrated when something negative happens,” he said.
