Today they welcome a new Brazilian.
There are more than thirty Brazilians in the history of the Blaugrana. For some, fate did not work out: in the last century, football players often sailed from abroad, the class of which did not allow them to catch on for a long time. In the 1970s, the search for the “new Pele” failed. And only in the nineties did Barcelona realize that his philosophy coincided with the philosophy of Selesao.
Constantly looking for new arrivals from Brazil, but the most recent attempts have failed. Coutinho, Malcolm or Arthur did not bring trophies, they did not become on par with the legends of a happy past. But the appearance strong Rafinha – The Brazilian has been hired by Leeds for a good 58 million euros plus 9 million euros in bonuses, reminiscent of those that are mainly associated with the Brazilian carrier.
Like Real Madrid, Barcelona will never turn their backs in search of a new talent from the Seleção, adding him to their usually stellar squad. Adriano, Maxwell, Silvinho, Belletti, Edmilson and Sonny Anderson have played many games, but they are not the main ones. We remember the best, because this is a pleasant experience.
Evaristo
A Brazilian often overlooked when it comes to the great players of the Seleção at Barcelona, but it is understandable. The grandfather is now 89 years old, he moved from Flamengo to Spain in the 1950s. He became one of the best snipers in history – 105 goals, but then cheated when he chose Real Madrid as their next club. It didn’t work for him in Madrid. Evaristo was also unlucky with a generation in the national team: Pele was already growing up and other legends did not let him enter the base at the successful world championships. But this is the hero of Barcelona, the champion of Spain.
Romario
He considers himself the greatest, and certainly a great player, because he has reached the peak that 30-year-old Neymar only dreams of: helping Brazil regain the crown of the world after 24 years of offensive failures of the Socrates generation. Romario played well for PSVlike Ronaldo. Then the striker ended up in Barcelona, where he also showed his best qualities: 39 goals and 11 assists in 65 games. But the child’s temper was not sugar. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t stay on the team for very long, and at the end of his career Rimario entered politics. He is now the federal senator of Brazil of the state of Rio de Janeiro. We don’t know if he helps people and how good he is in his new profession. But he played football in an incredible way, technically he is an impeccable teacher.
Ronaldo
A fabulous footballer, while the knees were intact, and the middlemen did not deceive the head, proposing to choose money first, and then think about a career. It is still a mystery why Ronaldo played so badly in the Champions League – Haaland broke the goal record in his entire career a long time ago, but when we talk about a season at Barcelona, we are dealing with 47 goals in 49 games. This is certainly one of the strongest seasons in football history for a young player, which Ronaldo ended with the winning goal from a penalty in the Cup Winners’ Cup final. Beal PSGwhen it wasn’t fashionable yet.
Neymar
He plays beautifully, he has won a lot with Barcelona: nine significant trophies, including the Champions League in 2015. The trio of Messi, Suarez and Neymar took part directly in that triumph. The young Brazilian made 186 appearances for the Catalan club, scoring 105 goals and providing 76 assists, a phenomenal statistic. But at the same time he has 43 yellow cards on his account, many scandals, but he left and moved to PSG following suspicious transactions. Neymar’s father took over the direction of Barcelona: they signed a release contract of 222 million euros and the sheikhs paid them. Neymar later noticed his mistake, but the way back is closed by the debts of the Blaugrana.
Rivaldo
Deportivo did not want to give up on Rivaldo, with whom he felt comfortable in attack – for his first Spanish club, Rivaldo scored 21 goals in the Example, but Barcelona understood that they also needed a second productive striker. Rivaldo, like Romario, is a man with a difficult character, and it’s not just Van Gaal’s ability to find enemies on the team, so there have been several segments in his career in Barcelona. But we are talking about the holder of the Ballon d’Or, the two-time champion of Spain, and only in European competitions Rivaldo and Blaugranas were unlucky at the turn of the century. Or rather, they lost considerably, but they made up for the disappointment with the bikes of the Brazilian in the Example. 130 goals and 44 assists in 235 games make Vitor Borba Ferreira a legend of the Catalan club.
Dani Alves
Laporta treated the veteran badly. Since it was believed that it would not be possible to offer Dani a contract in the new season, it was not worth returning the legend, so much so that she would later not be included in the application for the Europa League playoffs and would be left without a club at 39 years old. . Now Tite is desperate for a team where Neymar’s personal trainer can keep fit right through to the start world Cup-2022. In the national team, the capricious leader listens only to the advice of the side, and not by chance. Perhaps Dani Alves is one of the reasons why Messi has become a football legend: the perfect teammate for the Argentine on the right. Furthermore, the Brazilian’s actions on the flank were ahead of their time, because now many side players play so high, boldly, with semi-flank shifts. Alves is also the most decorated footballer in history with over 40 trophies.
Ronaldinho
The sun of Barcelona, the best Brazilian in the history of the club. Ronaldo’s history in Catalonia was too short to call him the club’s main Brazilian. Rivaldo is fabulous, but not that much. And Romario and Neymar are great, but they will definitely give way to Ronaldinho in terms of influence in the world of football. Of course, the daring Dani Alves will step aside. Dino was a phenomenon. Attacking midfielder received the Ballon d’Or for games in blue-garnet colors, he did unreal things, he did it easily and gracefully. The statistics are also in order, because in 207 games he scored 94 goals and scored another 70 assists. The man who ended Barcelona’s long losing streak in the Champions League. The guy who brought Messi onto the pitch and then retired, because Guardiola correctly assessed Ronaldinho’s attitude towards training.
In Catalonia, the player loved fun life and flamboyant football alike. Sure, he could play longer at high levels, but we’re talking about a brilliant master, so it’s no surprise that he ended up in jail and didn’t differ in diligence. It’s a bit of a shame that he didn’t work with Guardiola, I wonder how Josep would have directed the whirlwind of Ronaldinho’s creativity, but Gaucho has a special place in the hearts of Barcelona fans. Coincidentally, all these Brazilians greeted Barcelona not without resentment and misunderstanding, but first gave them a holiday that cannot be forgotten.
