Alan Ruschel, while speaking in an interview today broke down in tears as he was explaining his last minute seat switch which saved his life. He explained that he originally sat near the back of the plane before he was asked to move by the club director Cadu Gaucho.

Alan explained that at first he didn't want to swap seats but when he saw Jackson Follman who insisted that he sat beside him, he had no option than to accept the swap.

71 people died in the plane crash, including almost all of the team, staff, directors and a number of journalists.

Alan added: "When they told me what happened it seemed like a dream, a nightmare. Little by little they've been telling me what happened and I'm starting to understand.

"As a lesson, this tragedy teaches that you have to keeping living. Take advantage of some things and do good for others. When I got here today I had the sensation that I was coming home. I promise to give lots more happiness to this team. With a lot of effort and hard work I am going to be back playing again soon."

Since the crash he has vowed to visit the families of everyone who died in the crash.
