He’s not a fish but he knows how to swim. His future was mapped out if he had not become successful in the world of football: his family had invested over half a million euros in a trawler. Fortunately for football, Hélder Postiga left the fishing business to his father and dedicated himself to another art: harpooning opponents, and then fishing for goals. Mourinho considered him a dying species; fast, explosive, a hard worker, with an enviable physical capacity, who knows how to find scoring chances and does not ask twice to find the net. He managed, together with his father, the best catch ever: one thousand baskets of sardines. But the fishing will have to wait.
