Da Silva, from the favelas to the Barletta pitch: “Overhead kick and goal, the derby was my most beautiful night” | Goal.com
Mateus Da Silva, Barletta forward, reflected on the brace that decided Friday night's derby against Bari: "Perhaps it is the most important match of my career, for the win, for the story and for the brace. I’m very happy to have taken home the three points and for my personal brace.
He then returned to the win over the Biancorossi: "It was the perfect night, it was a derby, everything was perfect. I dedicate the brace to my son. Barletta? It is early to say where we can go, I don’t like talking about the future, but we can enjoy ourselves."
Overhead kick? I had my back to goal and I thought it was the only thing to do in that situation, it went well for me. Now I am here and I am happy, at Barletta I have truly found a great family".
WHAT A STORY - "Da Silva alè, and let’s hope that on Sunday you want to score, perhaps, perhaps…". The soundtrack at the Puttilli stadium for the Serie C Apulian derby between Barletta and Bari carried a distinctly cinematic feel, and it was not the first time. The chant the fans dedicated to Mateus Da Silva inevitably recalled the film 'L'allenatore nel pallone' and the legendary Aristoteles, the Brazilian who drove Oronzo Canà's Longobarda on. He too came from the favelas, just like Da Silva, who has spoken about not being able to afford his first pair of football boots and repaying his father's sacrifices with goals.
