Hull midfielder Geovanni had called Hull "A small club" Geovanni told Don Ballon: “Signing for Hull City was all good for me. The season before I played for Manchester City and I really like the English league.
“Hull are a small team within which I have the chance to play (regularly), which is what every footballer aspires to.
“Everything went fine there (at Manchester City) - I scored important goals and was comfortable, but I didn’t play enough, that’s the reason why I moved on.”
Goevanni Also said he wishes he stayed at Manchester City but is enjoying playing for Hull
He added: “Remaining there would have been a good thing. I was the first Brazilian who played for the club and I settled pretty well and made many friends.
“But at the present time I’m a Hull City player, and I have been the first Brazilian in the history of the club as well. I also scored the club’s first ever Premier League goal.
“These are many things that make me feel great within the club.”
He also said: “My dream was to play in England. Of course it’s cold, but it’s part of the things you have to cope with if you want to be happy.”
Geovanni has also hinted at a return to Spain
He said: “I had the chance to join Depor [La Coruna] during my time at Manchester City, and it was almost a done deal.
“I had been in England for six months and we spoke with my family – it was a very tough decision to make. I am grateful to Depor for their interest.
“To my mind, one day I may return to Spain, because the Spanish league is a championship that I like and I never miss a game when it’s shown on TV.”
