João Geraldes is an 20-year-old from Portugal playing for Brasil Amazônia in One Future Football. He’s mainly known for his impressive passing abilities. He can see passes others don’t and he can thread the ball through the eye of a needle. He oozes class. His corners are deadly and often cause chaos in the opposition's box. He grew up in the suburb of Mem Martins, Sintra outside Lisbon with his mother Ana and his father Ruben. It was Ruben who really pushed João down the path of being a professional footballer. He set up a little football pitch in their backyard when João was old enough to walk. Off the field, he’s really passionate about skating, street art and follows the best graffiti artists in the world. You’ll also find him watching videos of YouTuber Tiagovski or scrolling through Cristiano Ronaldo’s Instagram. Cristiano is his idol, but he sees himself as more of a Leo Messi or João Felix type player. He lives in Adrianopolis, Manaus.
