Paulinho Is an honest type, sincere and with win to learn. This Saturday has attended to 'The Newspaper' and has given some hard confessions of his career. The hardest, surely, the one of the racism that suffered does years in his stage in Lithuania. The Brazilian has not had a good time, but this has done him stronger. 

His stage in Vilnius never will forget it: 'there was until eight Brazilians in the team and the city, Vilnius, has of everything. Everything went well, until they arrived these episodes of racism. What said me? The usual in these cases, already know it. That marked me for ever', begins the Brazilian.

'No only it happened me to me but also to mine mates. I suffered a lot with the racism. When I left me to Poland did me a promise: 'If it happens me here something similar, lame and go back immediately to Brazil'. It is unacceptable that nowadays sucedan these things. Only I ask respect for the people. At all more. Respect for all, as I respect to the other', adds serious. 

Now it is happy in Barcelona and does him competition to Rakiticalthough it had to convince to Scolari: 'it Was an only opportunity. I was very clear with Felipao: 'Another team like the Barcelona does not go to come to China. Or I go me now or never more. This only happens once'. He understood it, knew that it would be an injustice if the club did not leave me go to the Barça. It seemed that it did not go to do the operation, but, finally, concretised the last day of the Chinese market. 

Good memory of China

Although a lot of people laugh of Paulinho by his stage in China, he does not see it like this: 'I Have to appreciate to Felipao [Scolari] the confidence that had in me. It knew that it went to a football very little seen and that it would be difficult to go back to the seleçao. Only it wanted to play. In this moment thought only in me. It did not escape of England, only looked for renacer like footballer. There I built a very beautiful history, winning six titles and collecting, especially, the affection of the torcedor Chinese'.
