According to Romario, the Brazilian squad selected for the upcoming Olympics was “rubbish” and he specifically criticized the decision to include the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 striker. Hulk has responded to the comments, claiming he felt he deserved respect.
The 1994 World Cup winner was critical of the choice Menezes has made to include http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 as the over-age players in the 18 man squad for the Games. Romario believed that Hulk should not have been selected.
He revealed that Brazil would have been better off had they had another defender amongst their ranks instead of Hulk. The 25-year-old was extremely disappointed by the Brazilian legends comments regarding his inclusion in the squad set to participate in
the Olympics.
The FC Porto who has been strongly linked with a move to the English Premier League revealed he had a lot of respect for Romario and expected the same from him. He felt the former Brazil striker could have phrased his words differently.
Hulk said while speaking to reporters:
“Romario is a guy who I have always admired and I will always respect. He was a world champion and is a guy who has done many things for Brazil. So, he is a person who I have always respected.
But I think I also deserve to be respected. But he is a guy I admire and like very much.”
Despite the comments by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 squad. He said he had been with his family when he had received the joyous news and was glad to have been able to share it with his loved ones.
He said:
“I received the news in the best possible way: along with my family; along with my wife and my children. It was a great joy. I just have to thank God for this moment.”
The inclusion of Hulk in the squad means Chelsea defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Luiz-c10542 has failed to receive a call-up.
