My Take

I find Pará a wonderfully Brazilian story. A right-back from a small town in the Amazonian state of Pará, he carried his region's name as his nickname all the way to the country's biggest clubs, lifting the Copa do Brasil and the Copa Libertadores with the likes of Santos, Grêmio and Flamengo. What I admire most is that he never let go of the game. Now turning out in São Paulo's amateur leagues, he embodies the player who keeps lacing up boots long after the spotlight fades. That love of football, undiminished by status, is exactly what I respect.
