Eliton Matheus

This friendly Brazilian giant flies through the air with dazzling reflexes, even if the ball often seems to slip from his grip like a living fish. He still remembers catching a broomstick falling from a roof during a rain-soaked training session as a child, yet a muddy football remains a far more elusive prey for his hands. Despite his sometimes shaky ball handling, his daring rushing and positioning make him a thrilling, albeit erratic, presence on the pitch.
