The former Vasco Da Gama Ladies player said:

"But what I can say is that sometimes God works in a mysterious way. So you don’t know, maybe I can get something out of him and he can maybe boost me to get me things like a team, you understand? But he is not my father."

Minnies said she understood how social media can be but does not have a problem with the comparisons.

"[My father] was like, 'No, that is my child! How can they say that she’s Ronaldinho’s child? Ja, and some people told me, 'Don’t take it like personally and seriously because it’s just talk'."
