Initially stereotyped as a meme, he achieved success in Brazil and abroad by publishing amateur football videos on his social networks, where he demonstrates his skills in the sport by making references to famous teams and players, celebrating his goals using catchphrases such as "Receba!" (Receive!) and "Obrigado, meu Deus" (Thank you, God") which quickly began to be reproduced by several internet users[10][11] and world celebrities from football and other sports.[12]

His nickname came from playing football using construction professionals' gloves, referencing the cold-weather gloves used by European players.[13]
