Monza player Tiago Mangas has opened up about his unique goal celebrations inspired by Dragon Ball Z characters. His love for anime runs deep, with his tattoos serving as a testament to his fandom, and he draws significant personal inspiration from Naruto.
«I hope Monza is the right place for me to become a Super Saiyan. My favourite anime character, though, is Naruto. Like me, he always wants to improve. Being at 90 per cent is not enough for me,» Mangas explained.
The player also shared his thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo, describing him as incredible even at his current age. While he currently wears the number 7 shirt at Monza, he admitted that 19 remains his favourite, but it was unavailable at the club. Looking ahead, Mangas has clear career goals, including representing his national team and eventually playing in the Premier League.
«I have also played in France and Russia, so travelling does not scare me. My dream is to have three or four children and three classic cars, including a Ferrari F40,» he added.
