Those who are close to him say that one of the things that stands out the most about him is his personality and his self-confidence. The same that he demonstrated when, at minute 92, he found himself with a ball in front and tried with a kick that went straight into the net. The Tartiere broke out in the fifth consecutive victory and he, Francisco Fumaça from Mascarenhas da Costa Pessoa (Cascais, Portugal, 2000), Masca by his artistic name, turned towards the north end, pointing to the shield. It was his debut goal scorer in the Real Oviedo shirt and everyone hopes that this celebration is not the only one. What seems certain is that he will have many more opportunities to show his senses: Oviedo is counting on him for next season and is close to extending his relationship for two more seasons.
Masca’s contractual situation is as follows. The Portuguese reached the end of the last market to play for Vetusta. His relationship included, in addition to that first year in the subsidiary, another two in the first team. But for the clause to be effective, the club has to activate it before mid-June. Oviedo has not yet done so but the intention in the offices is to leave the striker’s continuity tied up as soon as possible.
In fact, the sports management has already consulted this option with Álvaro Cervera and the coach, as he himself acknowledged in his speech last Friday, has given the go-ahead. The reading of the club’s situation goes along the same lines: strikers are the most precious asset on the market and Oviedo has the chance to ensure the continuity of one that is showing signs of fashion. “Something tells me that this boy is going to hit a ball,” he said of the Portuguese player Cervera on Sunday. The goal costs money and Masca has shown that he has it.
He was able to score in Miranda, in his second clash with the first team, but he was inches away. He did it in Ibiza, but the VAR frustrated his premiere. He did do it against Zaragoza: good right hand. Adding the figures for the first team and Vetusta, Masca has 10 goals in 1,043 minutes of play.
The Portuguese landed last summer at El Requexón in an unconventional way. He took the first step. He had finished his contract with Portimonense sub-23 and decided that he wanted to try in Spain. He was so clear that he rejected any proposal from Poland, much more attractive economically. His agency offered it to some affiliates of the Second Federation and it was Oviedo that took the step. Mario Prieto, a member of the technical secretariat focused above all on the subsidiary, was a key figure in his signing.
“He is competitive and believes in his conditions. He sets a goal and dies for it,” say those who know him. Another aspect that he likes in Oviedo is the physical parameters that he throws in each game. Masca is a strong striker, capable of going to the clash, but with an interesting tip of speed for Cervera’s proposal.
Seen with perspective, the movement has turned out well for the attacker, who now sees how the doors of Spanish professional football are opening for him. They say from his environment that some of the subsidiaries that in the summer did not see clearly his arrival now do remember the Portuguese. But Oviedo has the upper hand and will not let the opportunity pass.
Masca is 22 years old, he is from Cascais, his father is a director of the Portuguese Tennis Federation and his mother has a job related to medicine. The forward, a deep admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo, lives this season in the residence that the club has in Fundoma for young promises from abroad. Among his plans, they say, is to become independent from the center next season when he is a first-team footballer for all intents and purposes.
