But the doors of opportunity open for only a few. Everton, who is currently starring for Brazil at the Copa América was given his big chance when Grêmio appeared with an offer in 2012 Signing the deal would mean moving 3,800km away to the opposite end of the country. But it wasn’t necessarily the distance that intimidated the promising young forward. Everton didn’t want to leave Maracanaú in the north east of Brazil for Porto Alegre in the south as it would mean leaving his girlfriend behind. A conversation with his coach helped settle the issue. Jorge Veras was in charge of the Fortaleza U17 team and had recommended Everton to Grêmio, the club where Veras had been an idol in the 1980s. “My concern, and his father’s, was that he didn’t want to go to Grêmio because of a girlfriend,” Veras recalls. “He liked her very much. He thought that if he went there, he would lose her. He didn’t care much about his career. I told him the girl could wait for him, but that Grêmio would not. Another boy would go. Then he would regret it and the other boy would be rich and he would remain poor. I made a joke: ‘If this girl doesn’t want to wait for you, you’ll find an Italian or a German girl.’ He understood and travelled.” Of course, the more he impresses at the Copa América, the less likely he is to return to Grêmio. According to Globoesporte, Manchester City have been in touch about a €30m transfer for the 23-year-old and City will have to compete with Manchester United direct and full of dribbles on the pitch but not as bold off it “We didn’t see Everton joking or playing with the other boys,” says Veras He always worked hard on everything we wanted to do He always said yes to the coaches.” José Carlos Leite another youth coach who worked with him at Fortaleza He sits in his place and doesn’t utter a word.” Éverton ganhou um desenho dos ilustradores da Turma da Mônica, com aprovação de Maurício de Sousa - o criador dos quadrinhos, por conta do apelido de Cebolinha. 📷Beto Azambuja/GE pic.twitter.com/LiRI8KU5Pf As a teenager from a humble family, Everton faced a long commute to training sessions for his first club, Maracanã, in the northern city of Maracanaú. “He came by bicycle,” remembers Márcio Caetano, a former youth coach at the club. “He cycled around 6km to reach the training ground. He was always reserved, of few words, but always skilful.” Everton was soon given a chance to play for Fortaleza U15s, in the state capital of Ceará, an hour from his family home. His father’s intervention helped the shy boy get an opportunity, as Veras explains: “There was a tournament where he didn’t play and his father came to me, saying: ‘He was with the U15s, but he didn’t get a chance.’ So I gave him an opportunity. We did a trial with him and it was a positive surprise. He came on the pitch and scored three goals in 30 minutes.” “When he was 16, the Seleção scout came to watch some players. We played two friendlies against Ceará and Everton scored twice in each game. We asked the club directors to sign him to a contract, otherwise we would lose the boy. There were a lot of people watching him.” After agreeing to leave his girlfriend in Fortaleza, Everton’s second challenge was to acclimatise to the cooler weather in the south. Temperatures can drop down near freezing in Porto Alegre, which is close to the borders with Argentina and Uruguay, and he struggled. “The winter in the state of Rio Grande do Sul is very severe, especially for those who aren’t used to it,” says André Jardine, Grêmio’s former Under-17s coach. “He thought about giving up, but we supported him.” Read moreEverton made his senior debut for the club in 2014, aged 18. Initially, he was an option off the bench but he gradually developed his game and gained confidence, thanks in large part to the work of Grêmio manager Renato Gaúcho he has scored nine goals in 19 appearances for his club – including three vital strikes in the Copa Libertadores that helped take Grèmio into the knockout stages of the tournament He has maintained that form in the Copa América scoring against Bolivia in the opening game and in Brazil’s 5-0 win over Peru his international teammate Filipe Luis said: “Everton is ready to play in Europe.” But before he makes another long-distance move Cebolinha can make himself a national hero in the final on Sunday The boy who used to cycle 6km to train with minnows Maracanã in the state of Ceará is heading to Rio de Janeiro to play in the Maracanã for Brazil the forward now carries the hopes of 200 million Brazilians We take no responsibility for the accuracy of the translation 2021Ford has announced its intention to close three plants in Brazil resulting in 5,000 workers losing their jobs IndustriALL is calling on Ford to reconsider the decision and to discuss alternative solutions with the unions After 102 years of building and selling cars in Brazil Ford has announced that it intends to close three plants in Taubaté (São Paulo) The decision will leave Ford's 5,000 employees out of work and will also affect around 70,000 jobs throughout Brazil's supply chain The announcement from Ford, who closed its São Bernardo plant in 2019 came without any discussions with unions or local authorities and in the midst of the global pandemic The decision is a devastating blow to the workers In a letter from IndustriALL Global Union general secretary Valter Sanches asked Ford’s chairman and CEO to reconsider the decision and to engage with unions to discuss alternative solutions Sanches pointed out that the decision was a blatant violation of the global framework agreement signed with IndustriALL in April 2012 The GFA stipulates that timely information and consultation is а prerequisite for successful communication between management and workers’ representatives Union confederations in Brazil issued a joint statement calling for protests this week outside Ford dealerships Ford unions are already organizing campaigns and meetings with authorities and have said that they won't give up president of Taubaté Sindmetau metal workers' union part of the national confederation of metal workers CNM/CUT "The workers won't simply walk out the door We're going to keep fighting for our jobs." president of Camaçari metal workers' union "Ford is closing its doors without negotiations It's a terrible situation and shows their total disregard for thousands of workers The union will remain firm and strong and keep fighting."
