He helps his father as a construction worker's assistant to supplement the family income. His biggest dream is to become a football player, just like the legends he sees on TV. When he secures a spot on the youth team of Vitória, a prominent football club in the state of Bahia and one of the two biggest teams in the state, Cleiton feels he’s finally closer to changing his life and realizing the dream his father had to abandon to support the family. Determined to be a center-back like his father, Cleiton quickly realizes that the journey won’t be easy.

Just as he’s about to be cut from the team, Cleiton is stunned by something unbelievable: a mysterious system appears, offering skills and challenges that promise to transform him into the greatest center-back of all time. Now, with a unique opportunity in his hands, Cleiton must juggle intensive training, the harsh reality at home, and the desire to honor the dream his father had to leave behind. Determined not to waste this chance, he approaches every training session as if it were his last, knowing he’s not just playing for himself, but also for his family and the dream of a better life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The cover image was created using AI.
