"We are here live from a very famous American football stadium, something very traditional, the New England Patriots stadium, the team where Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen's ex-husband, played", he began.
Afterwards, he explained why the experience this time was different from previous ones. "I've been here a few times, but I confess to you that it was at night, so it was very pleasant. Above 30 °C, and it's an old stadium, there's no roof for anyone. All the television transmission booths in the world are under the sun", he complained.
Galvão also said that former German player Bastian Schweinsteiger, who worked on the broadcast of another broadcaster, also suffered from the heat. "Right below us is German television, Schweinsteiger, a great player, remember him? When I looked, he was even feeling sick from the heat. But we'll talk about that later", he said.
When commenting on the World Cup scenario, the narrator regretted having been selected for the quarter-final match and stated that he would really prefer to be in Miami, he would really prefer to be in Miami preparing to broadcast the duel between Brazil and England. "But, in the match against Norway, it was a shame. A generalized crisis, several former players from all over the world speaking badly. And I didn't want to be playing that game, no. I wanted to be in Miami in two days, broadcasting Brazil's game against England. But I couldn't, what can I do?", he stated.
During the pre-game, Galvão also joked with Alexandre Pato, his broadcast partner, about the strong heat. "And you, Pato, how are you? Very hot? Are you cool?", he asked.
The former striker joined in the fun and revealed that the team used umbrellas to reduce exposure to the sun. "Galvão, it could be better, right? We could be in Miami at that time. But that's what we have to do, we are professionals. Our director is holding an umbrella in the sun, it's hot here!", he replied.
Shortly afterwards, Galvão, Pato and Mauro Beting appeared using umbrellas during the broadcast. Upon seeing the former player relax in his task, the narrator joked: "Hold it straight, Pato."
