Jamerson Michel da Costa (born 10 July 1985), better known as Messi, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
The first professional goalkeeper for Palmeira de Goianinha, Messi was successful on social media due to his unusual nickname alongside other club players, such as defenders Zig Zig and Pedro Pancada. During his career, he played for several clubs in Rio Grande do Norte, being part of the Globo squad that played in Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. [1] [2]
In 2010, Messi became the first Brazilian professional player on record to come out as homosexual while still pursuing his career. [3] [4]
