I have clear goals and plans and I am eager to achieve them. I will always do my best and play the best of myself."

When asked about his knowledge of Lyon, he said: "I don't know much about the city of Lyon. Some people told me that Lyon is one of the most beautiful cities in France, and I am looking forward to exploring it myself. As for Lyon, it enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad, so there is no need to say more."

As for why he chose Lyon, Moreira said: "I had the honor of communicating with Mr. Paulo Fonseca. I have great respect for him. He played a key role in my joining Lyon and I would like to take this opportunity to thank him. He can fully trust me: I will do my best for the team."
