What will never be forgotten is your bare feet, letting the ball fly between them, like the long unseen Samba, leaping up again. In São Paulo, people are no longer just trying to survive; gradually everyone can stop and appreciate how to have the best life possible.

São Paulo, Brazil, one of the most mysterious cities in the world. In this city of great disparity between rich and poor, you can see the modern high-rise buildings and opulence, but also not far away from the neighborhoods of the relatively disorganized cityscape, that is unique to Brazil's urban landscape, but also many people do not want to visit the area.

People have always lacked the spirit of adventure, and as a result, they have overlooked the beauty of jumping, of acceleration, of balance, and of ball control. In the slums that everyone wanted to avoid, Antony slowly blossomed until one day he was seen by everyone.

When something has a downside, you won't see it even with all the pros. It's like the first impression people have of the ghetto, filled with drugs, guns, and all kinds of crime. But we always forget the good within the community, the people are always pure and simple, and even more so, exceptionally humble, because no one thinks they are going to be greater or more important than anyone else!

This is one of the most important things Antony learned in his life at St. Paul's, and with humility, he continues to learn and lead the way into his own world.

Pure. Bare feet, you dance, samba, music, dance.

You should never, ever underestimate a man who loves soccer.

No amount of hard work can erase a child's imagination, much less quench their enthusiasm. Because they are pure, we would say that a child's potential is unlimited.

It was also around that time that there was the famous story of the borrowed sneakers.

Due to financial pressures, Antony's family is unable to provide him with such necessities. But Antony has everything.

It is possible to keep your head down, the only thing you can't compromise on will be having a good soccer environment.

Unwillingness to give up. Always aware of your shoes, some trepidation mixed with excitement, and the moment you put them on, you dance and own the world.

Antony knows what he has to do!

In that place where dreams can't be called dreams, you practiced hard as if you were in control of your heart.

Even if you had to go to school, you remained true to yourself, and all that dancing in the streets was nourishment for your growth.

Until you are strong enough to be seen by all.

St. Paul's, never shy about sharing secrets, people are selfless, and it wasn't until Antony stepped up that they had a sense of crisis, we can't let this talent go!

It was then that Antony felt the definition of a dream for the first time, focusing on a ball, great and small.

Calm. That day, still mom borrowed shoes, with shoes Samba, still enthusiastic, but more peace, smooth, building dreams down to earth.

It was the first trophy, but the most memorable.
