However, the Brazilian still has a lot to learn, especially when it comes to managing his emotions. In the recent 3-0 win against Rayo Vallecano, Sávio scored a superb goal, his third goal of the season. Transported by joy, he then took off his jersey to celebrate with the supporters, just to savor this moment of pleasure.

Except that this gesture earned him a yellow card, the fourth already since the start of the season. However, a fifth warning automatically results in a one-match suspension. His coach Michel did not appreciate this nonchalant celebration at all, which could be very costly if Sávio is suspended for the next crucial match.
