Two goals in his first match for Olympic Lyonnais, eights goals in seven matches. The beginning of Nilmar’s European career were impressed all. But sadly Nilmar fell out of favour with the French Champions and felt it necessary to return to his home country.
High flying Corinthians hope that Nilmar will help them lift the national championship in Decemeber, whilst Nilmar has set his sights on a return to the national team.
After his official presentation to the press and fans, Nilmar revealed that he had few opportunities with Lyon and that he preferred to play in Brazil than sit on the bench in Europe. “I am 21 years old and I am worried by my future. The money counts little in my sporting decisions, I prefer to play and score than remain on the bench gaining much money.
After average performances in the shirt auriverde and a painful elimination during the last Pre-Olympic Tournament, the attacker wishes now to find a place in the Seleção: “I appeared when i was at Internacional which is not so famous like the Paulistes clubs. I want to benefit from this opportunity with Corinthians, one of the best clubs in Brazil, to score goals and to play with the Seleção “. He said.
