The fact that he will leave Panathinaikos for Atlético Mineiro in the summer, upon completion of his contract, was confirmed by Bernard.
The Brazilian midfielder spoke after the derby with Olympiakos about his negotiations with the “greens”, stressing that he had been waiting for them for a month without receiving any response. However, he pointed out that until then, he will be fully committed to his team.
What Bernard said in detail to the Cosmote TV camera:
“You don’t win derbies with tactics. These derbies are won with battle, with will. We know what derbies mean, we took advantage of the opportunities. Offensively and defensively we played very well.
I don’t agree that we played badly in Toumba. We had chances, PAOK took advantage of their chances but things are turning around. Now we have a full week to prepare, we keep the three points and in every match that is the important thing.
It is hard to say what I said to Terim. We all know the situation, everything was said in Brazil and here. The end of my contract here is approaching, I waited a month for Panathinaikos and I had no answer, so I was forced to talk to other clubs and ended up in Mineiro. Until I leave I will give everything, I will play until the end, with respect for the people and the club until the end and let’s get what we can.”
