Career
editAlongside five other Brazilians, de Mello arrived in Indonesia even though they were told their destination was Malaysia.[1] Later, he signed with Petrokimia Putra even after being told it was a bad team, helping them reach the 1994/95 league final.[1]
Nicknamed 'The Duck' due to appearing overweight and slow,[2] De Mello endeared himself to fans in Indonesia with his composure and passing, earning comparisons to England international Matt Le Tissier.[3][4][5]
