I watched a Brazilian documentary about a youth soccer training class, and the coach said that his class was full of children living in the slums, and they were eager to change their lives by playing football, because many Brazilian footballers are football superstars who came out of the favelas and earn more than 10 million a year.
Brazilian alien number nine star Ronaldo
Born in 1976 in a slum in Brazil to four children to poor parents, Ronaldo grew up playing soccer and gradually rose to prominence. His skills are unmatched. Finally, he represented the national team and won the 2002 World Cup. In the final against Germany, they won 2-0, both goals were scored by Ronaldo. As soon as he became famous, the whole world knew him. The salary was four million euros a year when he played for Inter, and it was nine years between 1997 and 2006. At that time, he earned 40 million yuan a year. Even now retiring, he makes tens of millions of dollars a year.
Brazil's current player No. 10 Neymar has an annual salary
Neymar is now Brazil's No. 10 star, he is now the captain of the Brazilian national team, his annual salary is 60.17 million yuan, the highest salary for Brazilian players.
Many Brazilian players were born in favelas, such as Ronaldo just mentioned, as well as former king Pele, Ronaldinho and now Brazil's number nine, that is, the two goals of Brazil's victory over Serbia in yesterday's World Cup qualifier were scored by No. 9 Lishalyson. He was also born in a slum. Twenty-five years old, he is a rising star among Brazil's young players.
The ten highest paid athletes in Brazil
It is true that you can get rich by playing football, so many children in Brazil love football, of course, because football is one of the most popular sports of the Brazilian people. Everyone loves football and belongs to the national ball. And I have to admit that the Brazilian team is also very likely to win the championship in this World Cup.
