The 19-year-old Afonso Jesus (6/1/1998), Portuguese, comes to the first team after being considered as the MVP of the last season.

“To become a senior is a dream, I've always had the ambition to be a professional player in this sport”, said to BTV.

André Correia, 19 years old (17/2/1998), was also excited with this promotion and he promises to work hard.

“It’s very good for me to represent this Club, it's a unique opportunity which I cannot describe. It's the club of my heart. I feel this jersey like no one. Now it's time to enjoy and improve every day", he declared to BTV.
