Since I was seven years old I've had this 'Mini Haaland' personality. And it stuck, everyone calls me that", said Heitor in an interview with g1. The idea for the viral video came from the boy's father, Carlos Eduardo de Oliveira. "I saw this trend by Haaland, I got home at lunchtime and told him and his sister: 'I have a mission for you two'. He was on board straight away. We never imagined it would take on such proportions", recalled his father. Before defending XV de Jaú, Heitor went through the youth teams at Ferroviária, in Araraquara, and even passed tests at Flamengo.
