In 2012, a very young midfielder
Mattheus Oliveira started his career with Brazilian club Fiamengo and later
went on to join Estoril, the Portuguese side.
A couple of hours ago,
reports from the UK Telegraph revealed that this young man whose
birth was celebrated by his father a former Brazilian football striker, Legendary
José Roberto Gama de Oliveira also
known as Bebeto, about 23years ago, just signed a contract with Sporting CP; a
contract that is expected to last up until 2022.
According to the
reports, Mattheus while expressing
his joy said “I am very happy with this opportunity
and I did not even think twice when the opportunity arose. Because of the
history of this team and the players who have been here, I also want to create
history at Sporting.”
While speaking, he also
gave the official website of Sporting CP that he chose the Sporting CP “because
of the greatness of the club”
His excited father
Bebeto expressed his joy in a tweet “So proud of you, son!!! Continue
working hard and with humility you will go far!! Then you can enter into the
history of Sporting!!”
It would be recalled
that it was this same baby, that Bebeto celebrated in 1994 during the FIFA
World Cup after scoring against Netherlands as he held both hands in the air
swinging from left to right as though he was carrying a baby thus making
Mattheus a ‘famous baby’. And till date, it has become a ways of celebrating on
the field as a lot of footballers still do that in celebrating goals whenever a
baby is born just before or during a match.
Congrats Bebeto, your ‘famous
baby’ is becoming more famous!
