PULLING on a light blue jersey and representing Rangers was never a particular ambition for Danilo when he was a young football-obsessed boy in Sao Paolo in his native Brazil.He watched many of his celebrated compatriots light up Europe’s premier club competition on television when he was growing up and following in their footsteps has long been an objective of his.
“It means a lot to me,” said Danilo. “It’s a dream. The first leg of the Servette tie was my first Champions League where I got to play. Normally I was only on the bench when I was at Ajax. As I say, it’s a dream. I’m going to do everything to try and make the dream I had as a boy come true. “It’s the dream of my father. He could not be a professional footballer, but I’m glad that God gave me this talent and I can make his dream come true as well. When you can be on the field and realise that you are playing in the Champions League, it’s something special.”
“The game was up and down, goal after goal. It was a crazy game to watch. It’s the Champions League, so it’s always going to be hard. These kind of games are always going to happen. It was a hard night.
