He first came across the sport at age 10, when his aunt invited him to go to watch his cousin play in a match. He became a goalkeeper because none of the other students at his school wanted to play in the position. "[The coach] must have found out that I might be a good fit for that position. I enjoyed playing in other positions, but the one that I really liked was as goalkeeper." (comumonline.com, 24 Jul 2020)

Making a save to guarantee his team victory in the 2015 Portuguese Cup. "It is a moment that every keeper dreams of.
