The goalkeeper starts his first interview with a big smile. "It’s an unbelievable feeling. I can’t describe the happiness going through me right now. I’m not the only one feeling that; my family feels it too. It’s a dream come true to play for a big European team. I feel proud."

Gift
"It’s a huge club", Matheus says about his first impressions. "The facilities are fantastic, and I’m overflowing with joy. I can’t do anything else than thank God. I became very emotional when I heard about Ajax’s interest. Also, it’s on a date we will remember because it’s my fiancé’s birthday. She hasn’t had her birthday gift yet. The biggest gift she could wish for was our arrival at Ajax. We will celebrate it together."

The goalkeeper describes himself as a calm person. "As a professional, I am a mature goalkeeper with quite some experience. I am always willing to work hard, learn, dedicate myself, and give my all."

"Ajax is a huge European club", he continues. "Big players have played here." The Brazilian saw De Klassieker on Sunday. "We were already having talks, so I saw the match. The victory made me very happy, and I hope we can achieve a lot together in the future. Celebrating with the fans is truly fantastic."

Joining the group
Hard work and dedication are what we can expect from Matheus. "I try my best to better myself every day. I hope I can return all the warmth the fans give me. I am ready to meet the players and to be a part of the group. Despite making mistakes, I will improve and use my English. To overcome the language barrier, I will dedicate myself to learning English as soon as possible."
