A buzz has been building around William Gomes. The young Brazilian winger recently netted two goals in just two games. One of those was a pure stunner, a “golaço” as we say, in the fierce classic against Sporting. These electrifying moments have brought the 19-year-old to a special place. He shared he’s now living the most important chapter of his still-short career. Yet, Gomes isn’t one to rest on his laurels. He fully believes his best football is still on the way.
“This really is the most important moment of my career,” William Gomes told the ‘Globoesporte’ portal. He explained how much effort he put in. He wanted to be ready when chances came his way. “Now is the time to keep showing my game,” he added. He is also staying completely focused on the season ahead. “It’s only the beginning,” Gomes noted, “but good things are coming.”
He also took a moment to look back. Gomes pointed out that success should always make you remember where you started. He thought about his early days and everything he went through with his family. “It’s always good to remember where we came from,” he said. This helps as a motivation in all parts of life, through both good times and bad. “We must never forget our beginnings and where we aim to go.”
That amazing goal at Alvalade still brings a smile to the young winger’s face. He doesn’t hide his pride for what he called a true “work of art.” “It was a unique moment in my career,” Gomes reflected. He had a clear mindset going into that game. He felt focused and believed he could make a difference. “I knew I could score or help the team somehow,” he said. “Maybe with an assist, a direct pass, or even a goal, which is what happened.” He wrapped it up simply: “I am very happy about it.”
