From Sand to Field: A Center-Back's Dream
Cleiton Silva is a 14-year-old boy living in a humble community in Brazil. He is of mixed-race descent, reflecting the rich diversity of Brazilian heritage, and is tall for his age, though he has a slender build. 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 VitΓ³ria, a prominent football club in the state of Bahia and one of the two biggest teams in the state, Cleiton feels heβs 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 wonβt be easy. He doesnβt have the same skills as the others and only has the advantage of being physically stronger, a result of years of hard work. Just as heβs 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 heβs not just playing for himself, but also for his family and the dream of a better life.
