Q&A: Get to know more about João Paulo with this Twitter Takeover

Danny Ciaccio

As the team continues to train in Mexico during preseason, Sounders FC Digital spent a few minutes with João Paulo for a Twitter Takeover. For those unfamiliar with how these work, fans submit questions using a hashtag and the player answers several of them. JP, the 28-year-old Designated Player from Brazil, did a great job on Tuesday. Take a look at his answers:

JP: Big Dog Guy

Dogs. I have a golden retriever, his name is Balu. #AskJP https://t.co/Jq8pGOXH9U

Here to Win

2017 at Botafogo was a great year, scoring at Copa Libertadores. In Seattle, I want continue to win games. Seattle is always competing for titles, so I am here to win. #AskJP https://t.co/HYy2lsNOPr

Zizou! Zizou! Zizou!

I don't have just one player as a hero, but I like Zidane as a player. I grew up watching his videos. #AskJP https://t.co/Cbq0Hc5NXd

Sounders Family

I've talked most with the Roldan brothers, Nico, Xavi, Raúl, Morris, and Yeimar. I've been rooming with Nico and eating meals with all those guys. #AskJP https://t.co/ESeiPIJNoP

But Was Arreaga's Shirt Tucked In?

I saw some games last year, so I knew what to expect from the guys. I played against Xavi a couple times in Copa Libertadores. #AskJP https://t.co/DvrzXtDrJI

JP Singing = Morris Dancing

It's good! Xavi and Raúl can be a good duet. I never sing, though, I am terrible. #AskJP https://t.co/31quOpXoqk
