Career Overview

A product of Atlético Mineiro’s youth academy, Júnior broke into senior football at just 16 years old and quickly became one of Brazil’s most promising young players before earning a high-profile move to Chelsea in July 2050.
Since arriving at Stamford Bridge, Júnior has established himself as a vital part of the club’s attacking machinery, combining blistering pace with ruthless finishing and a flair for the spectacular. His ability to operate across the front line — as a right winger, inside forward, or advanced striker — makes him a tactical dream and a nightmare for defenders.

His balance of physical and mental attributes — including Flair (16) and Composure (16) — makes him an unpredictable threat capable of turning matches on their head.

Background Story
Born in Poços de Caldas, Brazil, Walteriano Mendes Júnior grew up idolising Brazilian legends who graced the European stage before him. From an early age, his raw ability was evident — blessed with lightning pace and a love for improvisation, he was discovered by Atlético Mineiro scouts at age 13. His rapid rise through the youth system was fuelled by humility and ambition, and by 16, he was already scoring in Brazil’s top flight.
His transfer to Chelsea in 2050 marked a bold leap into Europe’s elite. Initially brought in as a development prospect, Júnior’s breakthrough came faster than anyone anticipated. Under Calin Dimario, his confidence exploded — he evolved from a talented youngster into one of world football’s most feared attackers. The partnership with Pelé and the trust of Dimario formed the foundation of Chelsea’s recent dominance, with Júnior often providing decisive moments in Europe’s biggest matches.
Now 22, Júnior stands not only as one of Chelsea’s brightest stars but also as an ambassador of modern Brazilian excellence — a player who marries flair with discipline, artistry with purpose. His journey from the streets of Poços de Caldas to lifting trophies at Drogba Arena is a story of talent realised through relentless dedication — and the best chapters may still be unwritten.
“He plays with freedom, joy, and intelligence — the perfect modern Brazilian.” — Calin Dimario
