During his presentation press conference, Junior Messias spoke to the media about his ideal position. This is what he had to say:
"I’ve already talked to the coach about the role. I’ll play wherever he wants. I am originally a winger, but I can also play as a playmaker. I have matured a lot. Arriving here at 30 is different from arriving here at 22/23. There is another mind, if I am here at this age it means that it was deserved”
