The Brazilian was ecstatic to have signed with the Red Knights and wanted to perform at his level best for his new club. He was confident about his team’s chances the next season and hailed Al Ahli officials for spending wisely during the summer. Grafite
enthused that he would justify his selection at Rashed Stadium and wanted to score as many goals as possible for his new club.
In an interview to a local news channel, the 32-year-old told, "I am very happy to be here as it gives me so much of confidence. I want to give my best and score goals like before to ensure the success of this club, just like I did in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
My objective is always to score goals – I came here to do that. I know it’s going to be difficult to adapt initially because of the weather and the fact that it is another country, but the main purpose of me being here is to score goals for Ahli.”
Grafite joined Al Ahli at the conclusion of the 2010/11 season from Wolfsburg after spending four glorious years at Volkswagen Arena. The player bagged 59 goals from 107 Bundesliga games during his stay in Germany. In the season ended, Grafite managed 28
league appearances, bagging nine goals during the process.
The 32-year-old made his Brazilian debut in 2005 and has four international caps under his belt until now, netting a solitary goal in return.
