But it’s not all that wonderful.

People think of being soccer players, but it is the few who manage to have fame that will gain a lot. I do not remember the percentage, but it is something less than 5% of all Brazilian professional players who have a good life and with high salaries.

The Brazilian championship, despite being one of the most disputed in the world, is still held hostage by the CBF that controls football, so the awards are low. Clubs are few companies, most are political and those who are there just want to make money for themselves before thinking about the whole team. The country's other football divisions are very poor and precarious. The teams have a very low salary range, where many have to have other jobs to be able to live and continue playing ball.

So the one who stands out, goes through a "sieve" and manages to get along and leave the country and continue playing at a good level, this one will do well, but it is not the reality of even the 90% of Brazilian players and much less the who are trying to join a team.

And another detail. Brazil has lost the quality of art football. You can see that we never had a football star again. The last was Kaká and even then he doesn't compare to the others we have. Children think Neymar and the media make him a king ... which is not true. It is just a good player that in the selection of all times in Brazil he would not even be a reserve.
