Returning 'Hakbumson's persona' Thiago (32, Jeju SK) vowed to play a strong role in the K-League. Thiago (32) of Brazil made his first appearance on the Korean stage in 2015 in the uniform of the Pohang Steelers. He played his best in Seongnam FC's uniform in 2016. He scored 13 goals and 5 assists in 19 K League matches before leaving for Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia) through the transfer market in the summer of 2016. The head coach who coached him at the time was Kim Hak-beom, the head coach of Jeju. Thiago, who flew under head coach Kim, has since passed through Jeonbuk Hyundai, Sagan Dos, Gamba Osaka, Faziano Okayama (Japan), Shapekoensei (Brazil), Tokushima Bortis (Japan), and Utaitani (Thailand). He turned around and reunited with manager Kim in Jeju through the summer transfer market in 2025. Thiago is the key to Jeju's rebound in the second half of the year. Jeju is in the all-time ranking competition this season. The rankings fluctuate according to the results of one game.
Thiago made his first appearance as a substitute in the home game against FC Seoul 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 23rd. In a home game against Gimcheon at Gimcheon Stadium on the 26th, he started as a starter. He showed sharp movements throughout the stadium. He looked fierce, attempting to shoot past two or three opposing defenders. However, he retired to the bench after playing for only 45 minutes due to physical fitness problems.
After the game, Thiago said "It's too bad. There were three chances. He missed a corner kick, a shot from the net, and a glass pass. It's a shame that I was able to score my first goal in the Jeju uniform. I will train hard and make sure to help or score."
He said "The heat is not such a hindrance to me. Brazil is twice as hot as here. Thailand and Saudi Arabia are incomparably hotter than here. It's not a distraction. "I felt a little lacking physically. I only did training in Thailand. I didn't actually play. I think I'm a little lacking in physical strength. I will train and adapt as soon as possible to help the team."
The core of Thiago's performance is the synergy between coach Kim and him. Thiago said " (We met again) Director Kim's face is the same, of course. People seem to be the same," smiling "It is said that age cannot be deceived, but it is the same as he was in Seongnam in the past. I want to revive the memory of success in Seongnam and succeed together in Jeju.
He was a 22-year-old Thiago, now 32. I think it could be different. However, the desire to win and to do something remain the same as before. I'm not 100% physically, so I'll make it quickly and help the team"I vowed.
