"It will be a difficult game. Cruzeiro is motivated after winning the classic against Atlético, but we are also coming off an excellent result for the Brazilian (championship)," he began. Afterwards, he recalled the two goals scored in the last round, when Alvinegro beat Grêmio, by a score of 7 x 0, at the Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha: "Scoring two goals was magical, it motivates me and I continue working to help the team, which is my goal", he said.

Miguel is the brother of midfielder Gabriel Moscardo, a midfielder who was also revealed in Timão's youth teams and currently plays for PSG, in France.
