Brazilian striker Fred has clarified his current situation on O.L.'s official website : "First of all, I have a lot of respect for the club. O.L. have given me the possibility to play for Brazil. I have played in the World Cup and I will remember that for the rest of my life, like the trophies that I have won here. But, when I decided not to extend my contract, things have started to change. It's my choiche and people should respect it. After I decided not to stay, I had the impression that everybody was thinking I was no longer concentrating on the club. Someone even thought that I could bring some problems to the team, but this is absolutely not my intention. The club and I want to solve the situation as quickly as possible. As I have explained, I have an agreement with the club to leave. Now I am waiting for the negotiations to be carried out".
