Beto benefits from Anger Management

Beto has revealed how a word from Everton captain Seamus Coleman helped him change direction with a bit of anger management:

"I used to play with anger, but Seamus told me to stop taking the screenshots. He said 'I used to be like you, you're not going to get anywhere if you're just angry all the time'.

"For me, anger was good, but now I'm playing more at peace with myself. I don't care what some people say now.

"I got myself a mental coach. We speak a lot. I started to become more proud of myself, knowing that I'm capable of doing certain things that other players can't do. I just kept putting in my mind 'my time will come, I'm going to have my chance'.

"I just need to keep doing my thing and don't worry about what everyone else is saying. The past is the past.

"I play more freely, I don't play trying to prove to people. In some games you're not going to play so good, but that's okay. Next game you can do better. I just needed to be at peace with myself."

Beto's backstory has captured the hearts of fans – from working at KFC post-school to being spotted by URD Tires, then making a name for himself at Udinese before landing on Merseyside in the summer of 2023.

Beto reflected: "Maybe the fans like my history. I feel they think I am one of them. I am one guy, a normal guy, who started playing professional football in a different way.

"Some players, when you see their stories, you can see that it was really, really hard. Me, it wasn't so hard. I had a place to sleep, I had food, my mum did everything to get food on the table.
