Kelvin, the star player of the Kings League, recently confirmed he received an invitation to play on the field, extending from none other than football icon Neymar. During an event on February 24, Kelvin announced his decision to decline the offer and continue playing for G3X in the Kings League.
"First, I want to express my feelings of pride; I have such immense gratitude for reaching this moment, having such a wonderful dilemma. There are few people privileged to have received an invitation from our greatest idol this generation. Neymar, I will never forget you. We talked, and I even get emotional because..." he said, overwhelmed with emotion as the audience applauded.
Kelvin shared how he spent several sleepless nights contemplating his response to the invitation. He expressed deep appreciation for Neymar's offer, stating: "I thanked Neymar for the invitation. But I've had my time on the field. What matters to me now is doing what I love, where I am valued, and the Kings League changed my life. I decided to stay with our modality," he confirmed, having earlier faced challenges during his time at Grêmio.
When questioned about potential team changes within the Kings League, Kelvin responded negatively but made his own announcement: he will now take on the role of president of G3X. "Jake Paul expressed interest and made me an offer. It makes sense and changes my life. I dream of living in the United States, and all this moved me. But I carry immense gratitude, and I can say I am G3X. Now, I am the president of G3X alongside Gaules," he concluded.
During the announcement, Neymar confirmed the invitation he made to Kelvin, discussing the background of the situation at the Kings League Brazil Draft. The Santos player did not hide his desire to play alongside his friend, noting, "Kelvin is brilliant. Today he’s the king of Fut7, the Kings League, the best player in the world. When I was about to join Santos, as things were starting to align, I invited him to take another shot at professional football. I left this decision up to him, and we'll see what he decides because he has the quality to play wherever he wants."
Kelvin's emotional response to the invitation highlighted the significance of the moment for him. "There are few players who are privileged to speak about receiving such an invitation from our generation's greatest idol. Everyone here who've dreamed of playing football awaited something major like this," he recounted, still emotional.
He recognized the impact the Kings League has had on his career, stating, "The Kings League changed my life. I’m grateful to Gau and the G3X team for everything they’ve done alongside me. What we accomplished together is incredible; it’s hard to explain how good he is—treats everyone equally and helps make the difference." He also thanked his wife for her support during these weeks, which were challenging due to multiple interests and offers on the table.
"Jake Paul's offer is something meaningful; it would change my life. I have the dream of living in the United States and building my family. All of this weighed heavily on me, but gratitude is fundamental to my life," he emphasized, reitering his commitment to G3X.
With Kelvin's decision to turn down the invitation to Santos and his new role as president of G3X, it's clear his heart remains with the Kings League. The excitement of the community and his heartfelt speech both indicate a promising future, not only for Kelvin and G3X but for the league itself. His connection with Neymar and the gratitude expressed might inspire others within the Kings League to pursue their dreams, constantly valuing the joy of playing and being part of something greater.
