Uniao Tires president Fernando Lopes is confident Beto will thrive with Everton.
The striker signed for Everton last week from Udinese.
Uniao Tires were Beto's first club and Lopes told the Liverpool Echo: Of course I am very proud of Beto's success. He is unique.
Nobody goes from Tires to the Premier League. Just him.
I felt a huge sense of satisfaction. I also feel relief personally because if he hadn't made it to professional football I would always be indebted to him.
That's because every time I gave him advice he went home and couldn't sleep, thinking about whether he was choosing the best path for him. That's why I say that now that he's arrived in English football I believe I can rest easy and even more so to see him both happy and successful."
