He has just signed a contract with the club he presides: America de Rio de Janeiro, which added his son Romarinho as reinforcement in this transfer market.

“Officially registered for the fight! Is the time. I’m ready to try to give my dear America a little help in some games and also, of course, fulfill the dream of sharing the field with my son, Romarinho. Thank you Heavenly Father for the privilege! Thank you all for your support and encouragement! Let’s go with it, Mecão!”, was Chapulín’s message on social networks.

In another post, the former forward of Scratch and Barcelona of Spain, among other teams, warned what the participation will be in the team led by Marcus Alexandre: “They have to be aware of the possibility of him returning to the grass. Making it clear that it is not competing for the championship, but rather playing some games for the team of my heart, Mecão. In addition, I am going to fulfill one more dream: playing with my son.”

Although O Baixinho showed his strength and football skills on more than one occasion in viral videos in which he scores a goal or attempts a dribble in matches with other veterans, he will prepare physically but will act as long as the coaching staff deems it appropriate. In addition, it was learned that he signed for the minimum contract and at the end of it it will be donated to the coffers of America RJ.

His son Romarinho, after signing his contract, shared a message on the networks: Very happy to announce that I am now an America RJ player!!! When my grandfather Edevair passed away, 16 years ago, I made a promise to him and to God that one day I would wear the jersey of the heart and my father’s team, the time has come. May Heavenly Father bless our season!!!” It is worth mentioning that, at the beginning of April, Doña Lita, his grandmother and Romário’s mother, died, which is why three days of mourning were declared in the institution.

Romario made his professional debut at Vasco da Gama, a club in which he had three cycles throughout his career and which catapulted him to Europe. In 1988 he arrived at PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands, where he played five seasons before making the jump to Barcelona in Spain. In Catalan territory he lasted two years, until returning to his country to serve in Flamengo, an entity in which he was from 1995 to 1999 with an interval of two years in Valencia, Spain. Fluminense, Al-Sadd of Qatar, Miami FC of the United States and Adelaide FC of Australia were his last teams. After hanging up his boots on ocean floor, he resumed the activity to say goodbye permanently in America in 2009, obtaining a promotion to the Carioca Tournament.

Mecão currently plays in Carioca 2 and will debut tomorrow against Goncalense. His last official commitment was in October of last year, when he played in the semifinals of the Rio Cup and fell into the hands of Olaria.
