Despite the great talent of the Brazilian players and their exit from very poor environments, they rarely maintain their brilliance because of the night life, extravagance, lack of commitment, and sometimes moral disorder, which forces most of them to retire early or move to small clubs that can bear them.

With the exception of Kaka, all the Brazilian stars suffered from extreme poverty in their childhood, and their lives turned from the hardships of living to luxury and luxury because of their professionalism in football.

And to see how much they suffered in their childhood, it is enough for Ronaldinho to say, “When I was young, my father used to tell me that it was better to play barefoot in order to better control the ball, but in fact he did not have the money to buy shoes and sports clothes. He always felt remorse and wiped his tears. Because he can't secure everything for me, but that wasn't how I felt. And when I won the Ballon d'Or, I didn't cry for joy, I cried because my father was not by my side and he passed away before he saw my success."

Ronaldinho and the condition of nightclubs

Despite that, Ronaldinho did not give football what it deserves, in exchange for the huge money and stardom it gave him, but the situation reached that Barcelona got rid of him in 2008 - at the height of his stardom at the age of only 28 years - so as not to spoil the rising star at the time, Lionel Messi .

According to press reports, Ronaldinho was stipulated when contracting that he be allowed to stay up in nightclubs, and his super talent was making some clubs agree to this condition because he shines on the field.

In fact, if he had committed himself, he would have shined more, as he continued to play for major clubs until his retirement, but he spent the last 4 seasons of his career (from 2011 to 2015) moving between small Brazilian clubs that accepted his strange conditions.

The childhood status of Neymar or the phenomenon Ronaldo Nazario or Romario and others is no different in terms of poverty and suffering, but - despite that - they did not adhere to the rules of professionalism that gave them huge fortunes and stardom, but were blatant models of nightlife and extravagance.

If the Brazilian players adhered, as do most of the world's stars, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, their career would have continued for several more years, and some of them even surpassed this legendary duo.

Romario pioneer of nightlife

Football coach and commentator on “BN Sport” channels, Ahmed Abdo - to Al-Jazeera Net - says that the former Brazilian star Romario was the dean of the unbridled in Brazilian football, the pioneer of the nightlife school and the lack of commitment to even training, which made the major clubs reluctant to contract with him throughout his career, with the exception of Two seasons in Barcelona (1993-1995), despite his brilliance in them and leading the Brazilian national team to the 1994 World Cup title.

In order to realize the extent of Romario's talent and ingenuity, it is sufficient to know that he scored 34 goals in only 46 games with Barcelona, ​​and also set a record in the Spanish League that has not been broken until today, which is scoring 5 hat-tricks in one season.

But after winning the 1994 FIFA World Cup and because of his late return from Brazil and his great nostalgia for the nights out on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro with friends and playing beach soccer, he decided to leave Barcelona and join the Flamengo team in 1995.

Abdo - who specializes in Latin and Portuguese football - says that one of Romario's coaches told him that the Brazilian star never slept at night, and was fond of nightlife, so he only lasted in the Qatari Al-Sadd team for one month when he joined him in 2003, because he did not find the nightlife that he was He loves her.

He adds that he did not like training either, so he used to train alone on the field and do what he liked, but despite that he shone remarkably in matches because of his tyrannical talent.

From Ronaldo's successor to shantytowns

Abdo indicates that the list goes on, as it includes Adriano, who was called the successor of Ronaldo Nazario, who reached the height of his brilliance in the Confederations Cup in Germany, as no match for his team did not pass and he made his mark, especially the semi-final against the owner of the land, and the final match in which the Seleção swept his counterpart The Argentine 4-1, and scored two wonderful goals from a missile strike and a header.

But he disappointed everyone, and his star fell after he was tempted by some gangsters and drugs, to extinguish his star and end his football career quickly.

Despite the short years of his brilliance, Adriano has achieved great achievements at the club level as well. With Inter, he won the Italian League title 4 times in a row starting from the 2005-2006 season. He also won the Copa America with the Samba team in 2007, and participated in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

After he reached the top of stardom, his father, who was always doing his behavior, died suddenly, his level suddenly fell in 2008, and Inter abandoned him to the Brazilian club Sao Paulo, and there was his end, as gangsters surrounded him in his hometown in the famous “shantytown” in the famous city of Rio de Janeiro. The rise in organized crime in him, to change his life and begin the countdown to the end after he gained weight significantly until he retired from the ball permanently in 2011.

Abdo confirms that Adriano's association with the life of the shantytown is what ended his career, especially after the departure of his father, who was performing his behavior. After his death, he became depressed and became addicted to alcohol. He even tried to commit suicide to get rid of his life that turned upside down from stardom to loitering in slums.

Abdo points out that Brazilian players do not improve life in extreme wealth after poverty and deprivation, as they live in extreme extravagance and constant nights, which negatively affects their physical fitness and general health and destroys their football career.

Abdo confirms that there is no Brazilian star who does not get addicted to the night and the night life, and the best evidence of this is from Neymar's contemporaries, who, despite his quality and brilliance, would have been much better since then if he had committed to early sleep and the commitments of professional life as it should, because he has great artistic capabilities if Added to it was the physique typical of what any player stood in front of.

Ronaldo and Figo's wife

Abdo mentions that the phenomenon Ronaldo was one of the football legends, but despite his commitment to the training, he was plagued by an addiction to nightlife, to the extent that the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, asked him one day to commit to staying at home and sleeping early, like his Portuguese teammate Luis Figo, but he evaded From the answer he replied, "If I had such a wife as Vigo, I would always stay at home", referring to her extreme beauty.

Despite Ronaldo's tyrannical talent, staying up late affected his physical fitness, increased his weight, and was plagued by repeated injuries, forcing him to leave Real Madrid in 2007 after 5 successful years, to move to Milan and play one unsuccessful season, ending his life as usual for his peers in the Brazilian League, where he played for the Corinthians team. 3 years before his retirement in 2011, and he did not complete 34 years, that is, he was the age of Messi and two years younger than Cristiano Ronaldo, who are still shining.
