there are many ways to reach your destination
all I wanted to do was to play for Atlético Mineiro
then I at least wanted to play professionally somewhere else and help my family
But I was never one of those supertalents who was always going to make it
Many players are already playing for the Brazilian national team at that age
How can someone go from working in a factory to winning the World Cup in six years
I will never forget the day that I realised I had to get a proper job
You have to understand where I’m coming from
There was going to be a celebration to mark the end of the season
It should have been a happy day — and for the workers
But I can still remember seeing how hard my dad had to work
And I just made up my mind that I did not want him to have to work like that
which meant that I would one day be responsible for taking care of the family
It was like my future was playing out in my head
Courtesy of Gilberto SilvaOne of the few connections I had with the “outside world” was through the radio
My dad was a passionate fan of Atlético Mineiro
so I used to spend hours listening to their games with one of his brothers
Sometimes the signal was so weak that I had to push my ear against the radio to be able to hear anything
Those names shaped my imagination as an Atlético Mineiro supporter
I was dying to go to the Mineirão to see them play
Just imagine what it would be like to play like them
Imagine what it would be like to be like them
They might as well have been playing on a different planet
My version of the Minerão was a dirt field at my school
We made footballs out of plastic or cloth that had fallen off the trains
one day you are going to play for Atlético.”
at that time I wasn’t really aiming to become a footballer
I just wanted to get good grades and find a job I could enjoy
My dream was actually to become a turning-lathe operator
my dad and the other labourers were forced by the union to go on strike
There I had more opportunities to play football
I began to make my mark in the local amateur tournaments
I left the interior of Minas Gerais for the very first time
I was going to do a trial at Atlético Mineiro
I felt like I was on my way toward my dream
I was staying with hundreds of other boys in the Olympic Village
I didn’t have that much time to think about it
I got into the youth academy of América MG
Suddenly the whole rejection was forgotten
I felt like I was on my way to a proper career
Finally I would have the chance to help the people I cared about the most
I started to live at the América youth academy in Contagem
I was living a three-hour drive away from my family
and because my dad couldn’t afford to pay for the bus ride
My mother’s health then began to deteriorate considerably
And the death of my father’s mother was the final straw
Courtesy of Gilberto SilvaSo after just five months
That was when I took the job at the factory
I wanted another crack at making it at América
my bosses at the factory had promised me a promotion that they never gave me
But then I suffered through a nightmare that almost made me quit football again
when my contract at América was about to expire
They had a great squad that had just finished second in the Brazilian championship
and they created a huge turmoil that really startled me
I was called into a meeting with Marcus Salum
It seemed like they had been talking about my transfer
Then Kalil did something that scared the hell out of me
He began to tell me about all these things that would happen if I did not sign for Atlético
especially because I didn’t need any encouragement to sign for Atlético
I finally had the privilege of signing for Atlético
And now the time has come for me to reveal a little secret
I used to have a ritual whenever I played at the Mineirão
I could see the sea of fans streaming to the gates
because the moat was right next to the dressing room and they would pass by on their way to the stands
I would open up the window to listen to their songs
the emotion used to wash over me every time
But this was not while I was playing for Atlético Mineiro
This was my routine when I was playing against Atlético
So can you imagine what it meant to me when I actually got to play for Atlético
When the sea of people was singing their songs for me
The only way I can describe it is that it was a dream
which is full of Atlético Mineiro supporters
Those 2½ years playing for Atlético were some of the happiest of my life
I never expected that one day I would fly over Brasilia escorted by five Mirage fighters from the Brazilian air force
But I also never believed that I would be a World Cup champion
The first World Cup that I remember is that of 1986
so I didn’t couldn’t tell which team was which
It was like my heart began to beat in a different rhythm the first time I heard that
I would have asked them if they were a friend of Juquinha
Since the 2002 World Cup was in Japan and South Korea
it was hard for us to visualise exactly what our games meant to the Brazilian people
he showed us a video in which an indigenous village in Brazil was watching one of our games and celebrating the goals
We had been on the road for 50 days on the other side of the world
Now we were hours away from being able to win the World Cup
we felt certain that we were going to bring the trophy back with us to Brazil
Which is what happened — and which is something I will never forget
And I remember a camera came over to film me
and I was thinking about how my family would celebrate
Mark Leech/Getty ImagesThe party lasted through the night
and shortly after we jumped on the flight home
I noticed the fighter jets appearing next to us in the sky
At that moment I felt very proud to be Brazilian
Now I had represented Brazil in front of the whole world
We climbed on top of a big bus with a giant sound system and rolled through an enormous crowd
I had never seen so many people in my life
There were 500,000 people in the streets to welcome home the five-time champions of the world
People were climbing trees and traffic signs
That was when I finally understood that I had become part of a country’s dream
Later I made it a point to stop by the factory where I had worked
The staff did everything they could to see me
But one of the most moving celebrations came when I went back to Belo Horizonte
Atlético Mineiro sent a fire truck to pick me up at the airport
and when I entered the training centre I saw that the staff had prepared a special banner with my name on it
I made it a point to stop by the factory where I had worked
I don’t know if I can describe what that gesture meant to me
but the life of a professional footballer is about much more than that
and I met some amazing people at Atlético Mineiro
but the people behind the scenes are just as fundamental to the club
I wouldn’t be ready to slide into another tackle or hit a decisive pass
I’m talking about people like the late Seu Walter
These people may not be as famous as Toninho Cerezo
but they have also earned their places in Atlético Mineiro history
Bruno CantiniYou can only imagine how hard it was for me to leave Atlético Mineiro that year
I would go on to have nine years of adventures in Europe
Then a league title with Panathinaikos in Greece
I want to put all the cards on the table here
There is a lawsuit going on between me and Atlético Mineiro due to an injury I got on my knee after playing Cruzeiro following the Libertadores Final that anticipated my retirement since I wasn’t able to heal to this day
none of it take away the huge feeling I have for this club
even after the disrespectful criticism I endured the past years
I am eternally grateful to Atlético for its importance to my life and to my family
and nothing will ever erase my love and gratitude to this club
and Atlético approached me about returning
My love and gratitude for the club will be eternal
and my memory took me on a journey back in time
“And we’re going to win the Copa Libertadores.”
The nervy knockout games (this was Atlético after all)
the defeat in Paraguay and the penalty shoot-out in the final at the Mineirão
Atlético Mineiro were champions of South America
our fans were celebrating in front of their TVs
I’d like to think that there was at least one little boy who was running around with his arms in the air

Cemig's Intelligent Energy Program will benefit 80 public and philanthropic hospitals
with an investment of R $ 40 million over the next two years
Minas Gerais has the largest network for assistance to convicts in the country
With the goal of promoting a sustainable use of energy and reducing the maintenance costs of the Protection and Assistance to Convicts Associations (APACs)
is investing in energy efficiency solutions for 36 institutions in Minas Gerais and the headquarters of the Brazilian Fraternity of Assistance to Convicts (FBAC)
The initiative consists of replacing light bulbs
refrigerators and freezers with more modern and efficient ones
besides the gains with the appliances’ efficiency
there will be positive impacts when considering the durability of the lighting equipment and the reduction of maintenance costs
the initiative foresees an investment of over R$ 1 million with the installation of 4,600 LED technology light bulbs
which bring more options for water temperature regulation
115 refrigerators and 39 horizontal freezers
All equipment is certified with the Procel Energy Saving Seal
in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte
already has the benefits of the new LED lighting system and
the units of Santa Luzia and Frutal will also receive the new lighting
refrigerators and freezers will be replaced in the second half of 2019
According to FBAC’s executive director
this partnership is of fundamental importance
“I see the initiative in a very positive way
Besides allowing us to consolidate the physical structures of the APACs
it will enable the correct application of our methodology”
the units (female and male) of another 29 municipalities and the headquarters of FBAC
According to Cemig’s energy efficiency engineer Matheus Herzog
the estimated energy savings are 284 MWh/year and the reduction in demand at the peak can reach 108 kW
“The data is equivalent to the energy needed to meet the average annual consumption of 191 households
But when we assess the potential cost reduction
mainly because they are non-profit entities”
dedicated to the recovery and social reintegration of those sentenced to imprisonment
It also operates as an auxiliary entity of the Judiciary and Executive Powers
in the criminal execution and administration of the enforcement of custodial sentences
The purpose of APAC is to promote the humanization of prisons
without losing sight of the punitive nature of the penalty
Its purpose is to prevent recidivism in crime and to offer alternatives for the condemned to recover
this professional and work routine takes place daily from 6 a.m
“The modernization of the electrical equipment of these institutions acts precisely in order to make the management of the resources of the APACs and public power more sustainable and economical”
It is worth noting that the APACs are characterized as non-profit civil entities under private law and are associated with the state government for the administration of prison units
cars will not return to this downtown Lisbon thoroughfare
Taxis and buses can only circulate on a section near Praça do Comércio
Completed repairs to the drainage collector, which had collapsed at the end of 2022
which was once a structuring axis for road traffic in Baixa Pombalina
will be exclusively for pedestrians and bicycles
a practice that had become common over the last year
Streetcar 15 now has the whole of Rua da Prata available to it
The exception is the stretch between Praça do Comércio and Rua de São Julião
where the streetcar will share the road with buses and cabs
will not be allowed on that part of the street
leaving the left-hand lane for the implementation of a cycle-pedestrian channel
It will be a cycle path shared with pedestrians
with a view to coexistence; the channel will be three meters wide and bidirectional
linking Praça do Comércio to Praça da Figueira
where the connection to both Restauradores/Avenida da Liberdade and Martim Moniz/Avenida Almirante Reis will be missing
pedestrians will be able to walk on the cycle path
which can be useful for people with reduced mobility
for whom the sidewalk isn't the most comfortable or even suitable
people will have an exclusive sidewalk about four meters wide for walking; and on the other side
The shared cycle path is continuous between Praça da Figueira and Rua de São Julião
with two intersections with road traffic between that street and Praça do Comércio
where there are traffic lights and STOP signs to safeguard the traffic
The cycle path will be implemented until December 7th
Note that this intervention on Rua da Prata is temporary
this street could be given a more definitive design
with a more pedestrian and coexistence character
Lisbon City Hall did not clarify whether the existing traffic lights along Rua da Prata
We'll update this article as soon as we have an answer
which currently exceeds 6,000 vehicles per day
which jeopardizes the safety of the environment
citizens and the infrastructure of this road itself"
"The Parish Council reiterates its willingness to work together with the municipality to find and implement the best solutions for the quality of life of those who have chosen and still resist living in the historic city center"The city council
which has been advocating tighter restrictions on car traffic in the historic center
not only on the Avenida da Liberdade-Baixa axis
these restrictions are not necessarily complied with
in a debate recently organized by the Público newspaper and the ZERO association
She said that the city council is in the final stages of talks with the National Data Protection Commission to install this license plate control system
and hopes to have it ready by the end of the first quarter of 2025
the current ZER limits will have to be updated
not least because there are already European standards that are more up-to-date than the Euro 3 standard
which is currently implemented in the Portuguese capital

Another large fireball was seen in Brazilian skies at 20:08 (23:08 UT) this Friday
the phenomenon occurred in the north of Rio de Janeiro and east of Minas Gerais
The fireball was recorded by a BRAMON meteor station in Juiz de Fora
reported by several people through social networks
Around 11 pm, BRAMON had access to a post published by Carlos Ayres, of CARJ – Club of Astronomy of Rio de Janeiro where he reports the observation of a very bright meteor north of Rio de Janeiro going from west to east
the meteor had already been perceived at the BRAMON MHS1 / MG station in Juiz de Fora
The report published by Carlos indicated that this was a relevant event
The videos were cordially provided for analysis of the phenomenon and below
From the triangulation of the images of the Clima ao Vivo and BRAMON
it was possible to determine with precision the trajectory of the fireball
The object that surprised people in Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais on the night of the 26th appeared in the sky at 20:08:01 (local time) at 80.8Km height over Rio das Flores
RJ and followed in a northeasterly direction at a speed of 19.14 Km/s (68900 Km/h) and has extinguished 5.67 seconds later
at 38.4 Km height over the Argirita in the east of Minas Gerais
It has not been possible to conclude whether this event may have left meteorites on the ground
its dispersion area should be quite broad between the municipalities of Juiz de Fora and Leopoldina
If you have seen, filmed or photographed this or another meteor, you can contribute to the study of these phenomena by sending your report through http://bramon.imo.net

dou por encerrada minha carreira como atleta
Já ouvi uma frase que diz que jogador de futebol morre duas vezes
Acho que o jogador de futebol morre uma vez
