She Gets, I Win!
Zé António was born and raised in Matosinhos. At eleven years old, he began to dream of becoming a footballer, a dream he fully realised at Leixões, between the child who entered the Estádio do Mar in 1987 and the grown man who left it in 2004, with a stint at Desportivo das Aves in between.
He ended his career dramatically at the age of 29, receiving the news of an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis diagnosis on his birthday, which would change his life and leave him under serious threat.
At that moment, he started a new game: beating the disease. And he is winning by a landslide!
In partnership with writer Fabiana Couto, Zé António tells his entire story in this book—all the tears, all the smiles—in a rare account of survival and determination.
“Sometimes we waste energy on problems that don’t exist, and then we are confronted with Zé António’s example of courage and resilience. May it serve as an inspiration to us all.” — Luis Figo, former Portuguese international
