“I would like to thank God first of all for another year of life. Being here with you is very special. I also thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday. May God bless us in this Copa América so that we can bring this title back to our Brazil,” said the player, before handing the first slice of cake to Taffarel, the Brazilian national team’s goalkeeping coach.
As usual, Martinelli received a cake specially made by Jaime Maciel, the chef for the Brazilian National Team.
