Very tired following the club"s 2-1 defeat to Internacional at Porto Alegre on Wednesday night, Renato was sleeping when his phone kept ringing. He was quoted in Globo Esporte: “I was asleep. My phone kept ringing, and then I saw that I"ve been called up. My mother called crying, others called crying. Those people in my daily life know how much I suffered to be here today. I gave up a lot. And do special works [at Corinthians due to excessive injury issues], a little more than everyone else. I see I"m going the right way, and this shows that my willpower has paid off."
He added: “Now I come in a moment which is even more special. The last time I was called up, I had a good season in Germany [Bayer Leverkusen], but now I"ve reached my peak technically and physically."
