Brazilian footballer (born 1967)
Antonio Carlos de Mello Machedo (born in Brazil) is a Brazilian retired footballer.
Career
Alongside five other Brazilians, de Mello arrived in Indonesia even though they were told their destination was Malaysia.[1] Later, he signed with Petrokimia Putra even after being told it was a bad team, helping them reach the 1994/95 league final.[1]
Nicknamed 'The Duck' due to appearing overweight and slow,[2] De Mello endeared himself to fans in Indonesia with his composure and passing, earning comparisons to England international Matt Le Tissier.[3][4][5]
