The Brazilian thanked everyone who made his
switch to the Santiago Bernabeu possible at his
official unveiling, which didn't go quite according t
plan
New Real Madrid signing Danilo was unveiled to
the Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday, but
remarkably failed to complete a basic kick-up on
the pitch.
The Brazil international's move to the club was
revealed halfway through last season, after three
impressive years at Porto, and was paraded in
front of his new supporters following confirmation
of his transfer.
The full-back was subsequently given a ball and
told to show off his skills, only to roundly fail to
prove why Real identified him as a key acquisition
After his embarrassing moment, Danilo then gave
press conference, completely without irony.
"I would like to thank God for making me good at
football," Danilo said.
On a more serious note, the 23-year-old
expressed his pride at moving to the club.
"Thanks to everyone who did everything to make
this day happen," he added. "Thanks to the fans
for their messages and their love.
"This is a childhood dream. It's certainly one of
the best days of my life.
"I'm going to leave everything on the pitch
because I only play to win. Thank you, everyone!"
Madrid paid €31.5 million for Danilo, who has
penned a six-year contract with the Liga side.
