Brazil, the "kingdom of football", is the cradle of genius and golden boy.
From Pele to Zico, from Romario to Ronaldo, from Rivaldo to Ronaldinho, from Kaka to Neymar, Brazil's football geniuses are always on the rise.
The flowing samba has always been at the top of the world and has led the development of world football.
The 1990s were the beginning of another pinnacle of Brazilian football:
Winner of the 1994 World Cup in the United States, runner-up in the 1998 World Cup in France, and winner of the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.
Brazil's strength is incomparable, "lone wolf" Romario, "alien" Ronaldo, the names of the two people to support brazil's 3 World Cup front.
There is a name that should not be forgotten, and he is Romario's golden partner, Ronaldo's mentor, Bebeto.
<h1>The perfect national team career, creating a cradle dance that swept the world</h1>
Bebeto's national team career was undoubtedly perfect, paired with two of the world's best strikers at the time, Romario and Ronaldo.
Such an opportunity is the envy of all players around the world.
The 1994 World Cup in the United States was the pinnacle of Bebeto's national team career. Although he had a record appearance in the 1990 World Cup, 1994 was a time for him to shine.
In that year's World Cup, Bebeto and his partner Romario scored eight of Brazil's 11 goals, four of which were assisted by each other. You know, it is a rare thing to let the "lone wolf" give up shooting and turn to pass assists.
Bebeto's style of play is very simple, and he is a complete team player, which is especially valuable in the Brazilian team.
The presence of Bebeto can make his teammates stronger, although the style of the ball is simple, but this does not hide his spirituality on the pitch at all, he is like a catalyst for the team, allowing the team to produce better chemistry.
In the 1994 World Cup, in addition to winning the Hercules Cup, the most surprising thing for Bebeto should be the birth of his third child Mateus, in order to pay tribute to the German star, Bebeto also named his child Mateus, hoping that he would also make achievements in football in the future.
In order to give the best gift to the newborn son, a World Cup goal is essential, and the time soon came.
In the quarter-final against the United States, Bebeto scored the only goal of the game, and excited, he ran to the sideline to start the cradle dance celebration.
But many fans don't understand, don't know what it is.
It doesn't matter, a few days later in the quarter-finals, Brazil played against the Netherlands. Once again, Bebeto became the protagonist of the game, first assisting Romario to score a goal, then receiving a pass, swinging past the Dutch goalkeeper to carry the ball into the goal.
Subsequently, Bebeto once again made a gift to his son - cradle dance celebration. This time, teammates Romario and Maginhoe also joined in, and the cradle dance of the three became a timeless classic. In the future, countless stars will use this action to celebrate the rebirth of their children.
In this World Cup, the invincible front line of Bebeto and Romario is the biggest guarantee for Brazil to win the World Cup.
<h1>Sorry France, almost a perfect journey</h1>
The 1998 World Cup was destined not to belong to Brazil.
Under the night sky in France, the focus of the world is the "new king of the universe" Ronaldo.
However, in the group stage, brazil's "thigh" is still the 34-year-old Bebeto, who scored two goals on the bench in three games to help the national team group qualify smoothly.
In the quarter-final against Denmark, he equalized with great speed, stabilizing the hearts of the army and laying the foundation for Brazil's counter-defeat.
However, in the final, Ronaldo's "state of confusion" became a suspense case in world football, and Brazil also swallowed three bullets and lost to France.
The goal against Denmark was the last goal of Berto's national team, while the final of the World Cup in France was his national team's farewell performance.
In the national team full of honors Bebeto can be said to have no regrets, the World Cup champion, the World Youth Championship champion, the Copa America champion, and finally all his experience has been passed on to the young next generation, Bebeto is undoubtedly the master of the Brazilian team.
<h1>Wandering club career, a little regret</h1>
Compared with the brilliant national team resume, Bebeto's club career is much inferior, it can be said that it is a heaven and an underground.
The debutant Bebeto, due to his habit of pulling his shorts high when playing football, like a child, the fans gave him the nickname "baby".
In the World Youth Championship, although Bebeto only played for more than ten minutes, it was enough for a genius, and after the end of the competition, Bebeto was named one of the "top six stars of the future".
Subsequently, Brazil's domestic giant Flamenco bought Bebeto and wanted him to replace the elderly "White Baili" Zico. Bebeto did not disappoint the fans who admired him, his position was erratic, his shooting skills were exquisite, he was calm in front of the goal, he was called "Peter Pan" by the fans, bringing countless joys to the fans.
In 1992, Bebeto landed on the Iberian Peninsula and joined A Coruña, where he played for four seasons.
While playing for Deportivo Deportivo Deportivo, he won la Liga's top scorer in 1992/93 with 29 goals. His biggest regret, though, was the 1993/94 season, the year closest to the league title.
A Coruña won the league in the final round, but Djukic conceded a penalty, A Coruña drew with Valencia, and A Coruña gave the title to Barca.
However, the technically advanced Bebeto only spent four years in European football before bringing his talent back to Brazil.
Back in Brazil, Bebeto began his wandering career, first joining his old club Flamengo, and then playing for Cruzeiro, Victoria and Botafogo. It all happened in just two years.
The 36-year-old bebeto has also played for teams in Mexico, Japan and Central Asia in order to continue his football dreams. After a brief stint with Etihad in Saudi Arabia, Bebeto chose to retire in 2002.
<h1>Off the field, cute weird</h1>
Bebeto is not only enjoyable on the field, but also a good husband and father in life.
In 1986, Babe and his girlfriend dennis, who had been in love for many years, finally entered the marriage hall. Dennis is a volleyball player who has also been selected for the Brazilian women's volleyball team, and it is no wonder that their youngest son Mateus has perfect athletic talent.
In addition to these, Bebeto also has some of his own small "quirks". He is an easy-going person, but he is very uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with his teammates. So, as early as his time in Vasco da Gama, the team designed a separate bathroom for Bebeto.
Moreover, There is one more thing that Bebeto is proud of, in his long career, he has stood in front of the penalty spot countless times, without missing a hand, all hit.
In 2010, Bebeto was elected to the state legislature of Rio and embarked on his own political path.
