Bergson's JDT journey travels all the way home

KUALA LUMPUR: Bergson da Silva may be almost 16,000km from Brazil, but every goal he scores for Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) still finds its way home.

Bergson's JDT journey travels all the way home

Bergson da Silva, a Brazilian striker, has made a remarkable six-year journey with Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) and has become one of the most decorated and prolific foreign players in Malaysian football. Despite being almost 16,000km away from Brazil, every goal he scores for JDT still finds its way home and brings pride to his family, friends, and fans back in Brazil.

Upon arriving at JDT in 2021, Bergson had no idea how far this move would take him. He initially thought of it as a simple opportunity, but now, the trophies and records he accumulates speak volumes about his success. Every new record reinforces the belief that his decision to leave Brazil for Malaysia was the right one. However, Bergson remains focused on the team's success rather than personal targets, aiming to wear the Harimau Malaya stripes one day.

Bergson is thankful for the support he has received from JDT and Malaysian fans, who have embraced him. He expresses his commitment to giving his all to both the country and the club. With another season ahead, the 35-year-old striker remains hungry for more success and is motivated to achieve even greater things in the future.
