Angolan foreign player Johnson Monteiro Pinto Macaba is 1.85 meters tall, plays as a striker, has strong explosiveness, ghostly running position and flexible body.
(1) Leaving home
Johansen was born on November 23, 1978, to a wealthy family in Luanda, Angola, the third of four brothers. Johansen's father was a Portuguese-speaking preacher and his mother worked for the government, and they had a nice house and lived a very happy life. However, in January 1987, civil war broke out in Angola, and one of johansson's nannies was killed after being hit by a bomb, and the father, fearing that the four brothers were conscripted into the army, moved the family to São Paulo, Brazil. However, due to stuttering, Johansson was often bullied by his peers. "When you suddenly come to a new environment, you face the problem of not adapting. I didn't like Brazil at the time, I just wanted to go back to Angola, back to my home, my school, my toys, my cousins, my friends..." In order to get Johansen to adjust to life in Brazil as soon as possible, the eldest brother began to teach him to play football. However, the thin Johansen did not seem to have any football talent, and he tried all the football clubs in São Paulo, and the result was a big drop. In 1994, when Johansson's father was transferred to work at a new church in São Bernardo, Johansen went to the local EC São Bernardo football club for a trial. Luckily, the second-worst team in Brazil took in Johansen. As he grew older and his skills improved, Johansen's mood of returning to Angola became more and more urgent. He learned that only by entering the Angolan national team can he be protected by the state and avoid getting involved in war, but who would let a player who plays for the worst team in the world enter the national team?
(ii) When dreams shine into reality
So, in order to enter the big team, Johansson began to train hard. In 1998, Johansson joined Bernardo's first team and, with his outstanding performances, he jumped from the fourth division to the second division, joining Francana and União Barbarense, and was a teammate with Trigo for several months. After Tiago was taken to China by Li Yuhong, Johansson took on the responsibility of destroying the city for the team. In Barbarens' match against Palmeiras, Johansson's side was punctured by his opponent five times, and in the final moments of the game, Johansson scored a goal that saved the team's face. After scoring the goal, Johansen walked up to the camera, lifted his shirt and lit up the Angolan flag inside. The celebration spread around the world, and it wasn't long before Johansen was called by the Angolan national team.
(iii) Barrichello's counterattack
Johansson then joined Gama, where he suffered a six-month-long ball drought. After being sacked by Gama, Johansen joined Londrina, who has been unbeaten for four months, where Johansen remains excluded from the big list. One day, the team went on an expedition, Johansson stayed at the base, and after a training session, he immediately rushed back to his residence to watch his favorite F1 game. In the rain in Germany, Rubinho Barrichello went from last place to first place, winning the first trophy of his life. Johansson was inspired, much like his situation at Londrina: he had no background, didn't play well, was questioned, and finally, he found a strength to guide him to growth. When his debut ball brought a victory to the team, a club official died of agitation in the stands. The fatal goal also made Johansson famous, with more and more attention being paid to the emaciated African boy, and Johansson also delivered a satisfactory answer, scoring a total of nine goals for Londrina throughout the season, becoming the team's top scorer.
(4) Expedition to the African Cup of Nations
In the summer of 2002, Johansen moved to Turkish side Malatyaspor, returning to Brazil two years later, where he travelled across several teams. In 2006, johansson was named to Angola's squad for the Africa Cup of Nations with his brilliant performances at The Portuguesa, but he only played 40 minutes off the bench in the second round of the group stage, 0-0 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the end, Angola won 1, drew 1 and lost 1 in the group stage, with a goal difference, ranked after the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and failed to qualify from the group. Johansen helped Angola reach the 2006 World Cup finals, but sadly he was eliminated from the squad by head coach Oliveira Goncalves in the final moments before the World Cup.
(5) The Great of Angola
In 2008, Shenzhen Shangqing Drink allowed Johansson to join the team without trial training through a 30-minute videotape. Accompanied by agent Zhao Wei, Johansen flew for more than 40 hours to Shenzhen. Deep Football boss Meng Qingsen made a bet with Johansson, "If you can score 9 goals this season, I will reward you with 20,000 US dollars, and if you can't reach this number, I will deduct you 10,000 US dollars!" However, Johansson considered that he was too late to return to the team and did not dare to rush to the battle. Sure enough, the unsatisfactory Johansen wasted opportunities many times in the first 7 rounds of matches, scoring only 1 goal, and was affectionately known as "The Great of Angola" by Shenzhen fans. Before the 8th round of the match against Liaoning Hongyun, Johansson dreamed that he had scored twice, and as a result, in the game, he did score 2 goals, which was a solution to this crisis of trust. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Johansson went to the barbecue restaurant to relieve his hunger, he met several Brazilian friends, who helped him pay the bill, but asked him to score more goals and give the Brazilian in Shenzhen a long face. Johansson dreamed twice again at night, and the next day against Shanghai Shenhua, he really scored two goals again.
(6) Super League Silver Boots
In the 24th round, Johansson accompanied the Shenzhen team on an expedition to Chengdu, and he also belonged to Zhao Wei's adult football foreign aid bus and Anderson came to visit Johansen at the Water Hotel where the Shenzhen team was staying, and invited him to go out to play. Johansson refused the bus: "Tomorrow is going to be a game, I won't go with you." I also hope to score a few more goals and stay in China next year. "Johansen scored a goal in the game, which was his 10th goal of the season, which was a joy, but thinking back to the bet with Meng Qingsen, the Angolan Emperor is full of regrets. In the 28th round, Shenzu defeated Shandong Luneng 3-2 at home, successfully relegating 2 rounds in advance, and Johansson opened the record for the team. Since the opponent of the final round of the deep foot, Wuhan Optics Valley, has withdrawn from the Chinese Super League, the 29th round match against Zhejiang Greentown became Johansen's last chance to attack the Golden Boot of the Chinese Super League. He ran all over the field, his teammates desperately passed for him, and in the end, Johansson scored 2 goals to temporarily lead the top scorer list with 13 goals. Unfortunately, Tianjin's Luiz scored 2 goals in the final round, surpassing Johansson by 1 goal, and Johansen could only relegate to the Super League Silver Boot. At the end of the season, many Chinese Super League teams showed great interest in Johansen, but he became suspicious of Chinese football because of Shenzhen's salary arrears, so he returned to Angola and joined C.R.D. Libolo), which is also Johansson's first time playing for a home country team.
(7) Full of water forest
In 2010, Johansen was again named to Angola's squad for the Africa Cup of Nations. As a substitute, Johansson only appeared in the last minute of the group stage. In the end, the Angolan team qualified and stopped in the quarterfinals. After the African Cup of Nations, Johansson came to Chengdu for a trial at the invitation of Zhao Wei. Three days after arriving in Chengdu, Johansson learned a shocking news from a friend: Chengzu had been ordered to be demoted. "There were other teams playing my idea before, but I came to the name Sheffield United. I didn't know enough about the finished foot, so I didn't sign up with the finished foot immediately. Johansson wanted to return to Shenzhen, but there was a situation of salary arrears in Shenzhen at that time, and the coach of Chengzu was his mentor Wang Baoshan who was in Shenzhen at the time, and after several considerations, Johansen stayed in Chengdu. As the Silver Boot of the Chinese Super League, Johansson was pinned high hopes on as a football fan, but similar to his situation in deep foot, Johansen scored only 1 goal in the first nine rounds of the league, and was awarded the title of "Shui Sen". "Before coming to China this time, I thought too simple about the Chinese League One, and I always felt that I could score so many goals in the Chinese Super League before, and there should be no problem in the Chinese First Division. The mentality was not correct at the beginning, it was not active enough on the field, and the run-in with the teammates was not enough, and as a result, no goal was scored in three games, and then it became more and more urgent, and the more urgent it was, the more it could not score the goal. As soon as the fans booed me, I was more anxious, and many of the opportunities that had to be scored could not be scored. ”
(8) Willow dark flowers bright
Just when everyone thought that Johansson would be abandoned, he scored a hat-trick in the 10th round against Beijing Baxi. It's all thanks to Johansson's fourth brother, Marcono. When the Angolan singer came to Visit Johansen in China, he found that his brother's state was not quite right: "Brother, this is not your football, I have never seen you panic like this on the football field, rest assured, you are fine." "His brother's words woke johansson, who changed his style of play and scored goals in a row." Here, we are a strong team, and when people encounter us, they are all defensive, forcing us to fight more position warfare. In this case, I need to run more actively to find the vacancy. At the foot of the breakfast money, Johansen, who unloaded the baggage, infected the team with his optimism. At the end of each training session, you can see a tall black man, constantly "flirting" with each teammate, if someone resists, he will suddenly pat his teammate's head, and then run away laughing, and keep making a grimace, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "His personality is relatively straight, and he will definitely complain about such a thing as unpaid wages, but every time he is like a drunk, he forgets what he said, and the next day he gets up and trains."
(9) Three consecutive consecutive years of unpaid wages
In 2011, Johansson joined Shenzhen Phoenix with Harrison, and after scoring four goals for the team in half a season, Shenzhen Phoenix is also facing a dissolution crisis... "It won't be like this for every Chinese team." Frightened by the salary arrears, Johansson also fled to Chongqing Lifan and became a member of the former five-bull player Liu Jinbiao. However, R&F Group immediately took over Shenzhen Phoenix, and they offered the highest winning bonus in the Chinese League A. Johansson was very calm about this: "It's like you don't know what's going to happen on the pitch in the next minute, and you don't know what's going to happen in a few hours." Chongqing Lifan, the most formal club I have ever played for, is enough for me. I won't ask for anything. ”
(10) Speakers of stuttering
In the summer of 2012, after Wang Baoshan returned to football, in order to improve the problem of the team's weak forward, he invited Johansen, who played in Brazil. The Great of Angola contributed 3 goals in half a season, helping to finish the season with a 9th-place finish. At the end of the season, Johansen retired and returned to Angola to do business. At one point, he traveled to Asia with a group of Christian athletes. While in Indonesia, they visited local churches together, and each was asked to tell their own life story. "My dream is not to become a footballer, but to return to Angola and football is just a means to achieve that. To succeed in the world of football, your dream can't be just to be a player. But I've heard that a lot of young players now dream of giving their parents a better living condition, and they think it's easier to play football for money, but they can also achieve that dream if they work as lawyers or doctors. "Johansson's story shook everyone, and it gave Johansson the idea of being a speaker." I've found that my stories inspire people, not just in sports, but in every aspect of life. I read many books and talked to people, and I felt confident in my speech, but many people were skeptical because of my stuttering.
