Roberto Ayza Berça (born 19 May 1981) is a Brazilian football forward who plays for Liga IV side Muscelul Câmpulung.[1][2] He played for various Romanian teams such as: Cetatea Suceava, Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, Bihor Oradea, Gloria Bistrița or CS Mioveni.[3]
Ayza started football really late after the age of 23. He went to Romania alone, without knowing anyone and without ever leaving Brazil before.
The coach who received him for the first time on a professional team in Brazil had taken Ayza with him everywhere. At one of the teams, the president asked Ayza if he doesn't want to go to Romania, where he had a friend who wanted players. He was 23 at the time. He would have earned $5,000 in Romania, whilst in Brazil he was earning only $120.[4]
Ayza married a Romanian volleyball player, Gabriela, with whom he has 2 children.[5][6]
