I found everything very beautiful”, commented Barão, who was liked by the English, Japanese, Polish, Canadians and also by Brazilians who work in or visit the “land of the queen”.
The victory against McDonald was the Potiguar's second appearance in England.

I was very well received”, concluded the Brazilian.
