Hello, I'm José Roberto, but you can call me Zé. In the sunny and vibrant Lisbon, where I live, football is not just a sport but a true passion, almost a religion. In this religion, I'm a polytheist, believing in various gods like Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff, Zico, and others who have touched my heart and converted me to this faith. I'm a constant presence at Benfica and Sporting games, more reliable than the referee himself.
For me, each match is a new story to remember, full of emotions and unforgettable moments. Football is not just a pastime; it's a way of life. Afternoons at the stadium, the chants of the fans, the euphoria of goals, and even the nerves in decisive moments are all part of my routine.
My passion for football is fueled by stories, from the legendary times of Eusébio and his contemporaries to the promises of the next Ronaldos who continue to emerge on the Portuguese scene. It's inspiring to follow the evolution of talents who bring glory to the clubs and the country. I collect games like Panini album stickers, each with its own special memory, and I'm always eager to know which will be the next one.
Portuguese culture is a vital part of my life. In Lisbon, it's always a pleasure to sit with friends to enjoy a cold beer and savor either a traditional bifana or a prego no pão - typical Portuguese sandwiches. These moments perfectly complement the excitement of game days.
My relationship with football is intense and profound. The stadiums are the temples of this religion, where I find the community, joy, and excitement that drive me. Whether celebrating a victory or lamenting a defeat, I'm always there, living every moment with my heart.
I hope to see you soon in the stadiums of the world.
