The number 6 is special to Palhinha due to a family connection. His grandfather left the family on a day associated with the number 6, which has become a significant date in Palhinha's life. He believes that many important events in his career and personal life have occurred on this day, and he has worn numbers with the digit 6 since the start of his career.

Palhinha has worn numbers 86 and 66 during his time with Sporting B, and he has a superstition surrounding the number 6. He believes it has an important meaning for him and his family, and he wants to keep it on his shirt.

The midfielder could make his debut for Tottenham against his parent club in a pre-season friendly on Thursday. He is excited to wear the number 6 proudly on his back and feels it represents his commitment to giving everything for the team.

Palhinha has also worn the number 6 in the national team since 2019, and he is now proud to wear it in north London. He is looking forward to making his debut and starting his journey with Tottenham.
