Full name Elton Jose Xavier Gomes, an attack midfielder who has played professional for 16 years... despite his being below the average length of U14 age groups, transmits Periscope.
He began his career in Brazil, then to Europe to Steaua, then moved to the Middle East, until he always distinguished it from the other unique style of drives and length.
The most successful period was in Saudi Arabia, where it scored 48 goals in 121 presentations for Al-Fateh, winning the title once.
Elton relates when he was almost arrested after photographing some women.
I was taking pictures of women,” he explains.
They were wearing covered black, and security arrested me. I was sent to the police car, and I had to call the club sheik.
It was a moment that scared me a lot, but then I got used to the culture of the country. ”
Elton, now 34 years old, still plays Arabia at the Al-Wehda team. /Periscope. com/
