July 4, 1994, Independence Day, Stanford University Stadium, 1/8 finals of the World Cup in the United States, the host country played against the four-star Brazil. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the 42nd minute of the first half, American striker Ramos pulled the shirt of Brazilian left midfielder Leonardo while scrambling in front. Leonardo got up and slammed an elbow directly into Ramos' head. Ramos immediately fell to the ground and was taken to the hospital after receiving brief treatment on the sidelines. Examination revealed damage to Ramos' skull and jawbone. Leonardo received a red card, and FIFA imposed a four-match suspension on him for the elbow that was so bad. In the World Cup in the United States, Leonardo never played again. And in this game, it was still thanks to Bebeto's goal in the 73rd minute, and the Brazilian team, which had one less player, barely won 1-0.

Historically, Ramos has rested for 5 months after an injury. And until more than 20 years later, the sequelae of elbow strikes are still there. In an interview, Ramos said: "I don't have a serious problem, but sometimes, on days, I can feel pain in that area of my head where I've been elbowed. Due to the after-effects of elbow strikes, I sometimes feel nauseous. And that elbow had a direct impact on Ramos' career, having played for Real Betis in Spain last season and helped the team move from La Liga to La Liga. However, the injury required a five-month absence from football, which led Betis to move to another player to take his place, and he had to leave Betis and was eventually sold to Tigretes Mexico. He hasn't played in the top flight since.

And because this incident happened in the World Cup in the United States, and it was the American player who was injured, it was hyped up by the American media. Originally the captain of the Brazilian national youth team, the left-sided talent who was selected for the Brazilian national team at the age of 19 fell to the point of no one because of this incident, and he was forced to leave the RBJ league after the World Cup in history, starting a wandering journey in Asia.

Don't think that those giant clubs in Europe are blind, but the more giants cherish the feathers and care about the fans' perceptions. You must know that there are too many geniuses in this world, unless you can be genius to a certain point, you can let the rules compromise for you. Obviously, Leonardo Nascimondo de Arayo, who has not yet left Brazil at the age of 25, does not have such capital.

But Chen Lin doesn't care, anyway, he has already received an Effenberg, maybe there is a Maradona, and how much influence can one more Leonardo have? You must know that as the main player of the Brazilian national team, Leonardo, who will replace Dunga as the captain of the Brazilian national team in the future, can play left forward, left back, left winger, and almost all on the left side. It's the wide talent that Prato desperately needs, and the ability of CA/PA:176/177 is also the kind of instant force that Prato needs.

And Leonardo signed a short-term contract with Sao Paulo, and the contract expired just after the World Cup, and when this happened, Leonardo's reputation in Brazil was also affected, and Sao Paulo had no intention of renewing his contract, so Prato almost didn't have to pay anything to take Leonardo away.

Prato's salary for Leonardo is 400,000 pounds per year, which is almost more than double the price of RB Kashima Antlers, and Prato can also play the Cup Winners' Cup, and the team also has Dunga, the captain of the Brazilian team, to help say the item, so it is needless to say how Leonardo chooses. As for Leonardo's status as a foreign aid, this is not to be considered at all.

The name Leonardo is simply an Italian name, and people used to call him by the last name of the world-famous "Leonardo". Fincher, as well as Hollywood notable movie star Leonardo. DiCaprio actually has Italian ancestry as well. In Italy, there are many players called Leonardo, such as: Leonardo Spinazzola, Leonardo Rodriguez, Leonardo Bonucci and so on.

He has always focused only on Argentina, but Brazil also has a lot of Italian descent. And these people are mainly concentrated in the vicinity of São Paulo, in the south of Brazil.

The strong ties between Italy and Brazil are easy to understand. The Brazilian culture and way of life is the product of a fusion of various cultures, including the Italian culture. The city of São Paulo is full of Italian influences. Middle-class families gather every Sunday to enjoy traditional pasta, and it is usually the family's hostess or daughter-in-law who prepares the dish. If someone in São Paulo says "goodbye" to you, they usually don't say "atelogo" in Portuguese, but "tchau" in Italian. In fact, Brazilians understand Italian more easily than Portuguese with a Portuguese accent, and have far more respect for Italians than the Portuguese who were once colonizers. Brazilians like to joke about how stupid the Portuguese are, but they often praise the Italians for their cleverness.

Brazil's star striker, Carreca, who played with Maradona at Napoli, once said: "The atmosphere and lifestyle in Naples are exactly the same as in São Paulo, and even the language sounds similar." Cafu agrees with Carreca: "The only difference between Brazil and Italy is that Italians have a little money in their pockets and a slightly better taste in clothing. ”

This connection is not only reflected in the external atmosphere, but also in the blood. In southern Brazil, millions of Brazilians have Italian passports, even Marisa, the wife of Brazilian President Lula. After all, they are all descendants of Italian immigrants who came to Brazil 150 years ago to escape poverty. At that time, the dream of these people was to earn enough money on the coffee plantation and then return to their home country. But when they made a lot of money, they chose to stay in a city like São Paulo and start a small business. São Paulo's mild climate, much like Italy, quickly made them accustomed to life here. This also led to a large influx of Italians from Europe to São Paulo a century ago. Government officials who come to São Paulo complain that they often hear Italian rather than Portuguese on the streets.

Traces of Italy can be found throughout the southern part of Brazil, and many Brazilians have Italian surnames, such as Scolari. Almost every city in the south has a century-old football club created by Italians. The pope is popular in parts of Brazil, and many Brazilians worship saints who are Italians. Brazilians are not only exposed to the Vatican's spiritual influence, but also do not reject the Italian spiritual opium, and Brazil's first romantic action film is a parody of Italian imports, and actors who do not have Italian surnames change their names to sound more Italian. After all, Brazilian women always think that Italians are the sexiest men in the world. Although Hollywood movies are more appealing in Brazil, the long queues at cinemas in downtown São Paulo are all about Italian films. A few years ago, I asked a theater owner why Brazilians like to watch Italian films, and he said, "Chigiolina [Italian star] has bigger boobs than Nicole Kidman and Pamela Anderson." ”

There are many reasons why Italy is attractive to Brazilian players. For players in São Paulo and the southern Brazilian cities, Italy is in a familiar vein with the culture. Falcao, who grew up in southern Brazil and later became the king of Rome, said in an interview: "Living in a neighborhood where the old people speak Italian, Italian culture is in my body. ”

This is especially true of Leonardo, who is born in São Paulo and has Italian roots, and when asked about his adaptation after joining AC Milan, he said: "Adapt! I never thought of Italy as a new place, this is my hometown, and Italian sounds so good. ”

Of course, this is not the case for all Brazilian players, and for Rio de Janeiro and the northern Brazilian states, Italy has a different meaning - it is simply synonymous with high life and fashionable clothing. A lot of players prefer to go to Spain rather than Italy, especially because of the food. Players from the states of Rio and the northern states grew up by the sea, and they prefer Spanish seafood.
