00:07Brazil, a nation defined by football, a nation that defines football, Jogo Bonito, the beautiful
00:16game, a nation devoted to producing footballing icons, world superstars, but superstars never
00:26seen in England, until now.
00:29Gabriel has a gigantic moment!
00:33I never imagined I can be on this place, I feel so proud of myself.
00:41Thank God, it's doing everything right here, I'm very happy with everything I'm seeing.
00:45And it's been incredible.
00:47Casemiro!
00:49It was always a dream to play in the Premier League.
00:52It's a brilliant save for Alisson!
00:54For Brazilian players, it's not easy to play in the Premier League.
00:58So, what's changed?
01:00I believe maybe the English leagues haven't discovered proper Brazil before them.
01:05Brilliant skill by Julinho!
01:07The best league in the world is a special place for us.
01:17When you got there, you just forgot about the other leagues.
01:27João, thank you very much for your time, how Liverpool came into your life.
01:32Estevam!
01:33Thank you, Richard!
01:35The Premier League is a global product, and Brazil is at the core of that.
01:40This season, 35 players have made a league appearance, second only to the Netherlands in terms of non-English representation.
01:49So, what attracts Brazilian players to this country?
01:53The Premier League, the last 20 years, has been one of the most important competitions in the world.
02:01I saw that as a privilege to have the opportunity to come here and represent Brazil, and to make part
02:07of this big club.
02:10And it's turned in by Casemiro!
02:12What was decisive for you to change the market from Spain to England?
02:18There are a lot of things, right?
02:20There are a lot of options, right?
02:22There are a lot of options, right?
02:23Proving the other league, playing the biggest in England,
02:26playing in one of the big clubs that, in terms of greatness, is one of the few that comes to
02:33the Real Madrid.
02:36When I was in France, I watched a lot of Premier League games.
02:39I know that the Premier League is the best competition.
02:43When he called me, I just said, yes, I want to be there, stay away.
02:46It's a dream for me to play as a Premier League, to play for Arsenal.
02:52Richarlison has gone for goal and scored! Extraordinarily!
02:55Yeah, because here are the great games, right?
02:58There are a lot of games, and all games are difficult here.
03:02So I think the players, in general, like to see this.
03:05They like to see good games.
03:08Esteval finishes!
03:10It's the first game in the Premier League.
03:12It's incredible, right?
03:13When you're there, you're like, you're like, this is the Premier League, right?
03:19Bruno Guimaraes!
03:21From the corner!
03:23I think the Premier League is one of the difficult leagues in the world.
03:26And I want to try to challenge myself.
03:28I always want to be the best Bruno ever.
03:31Here he goes, man, the goalkeeper!
03:33And in!
03:35There's no stopping this man at the moment!
03:39And you were the first Brazilian player to play at Brentford.
03:42Yeah, the first Brazilian player to play at Brentford, right?
03:44When you arrived, you said you wanted to bring a bit of Brazilian football,
03:47the Brazilian culture.
03:48Do you think you're able to do that?
03:50I think so.
03:51I think so.
03:52I think so.
03:52I can make people know a bit of Thiago, the Brazilian player,
03:57the joy, the smile on the face.
04:00It hasn't always been that way.
04:02Just look how the number of Brazilian players in the Premier League has climbed over the years.
04:08A massive increase since its inception in 1992.
04:12But the first Brazilian to play on these shores came before the Premier League even started.
04:17Mirandinha at Newcastle.
04:19In 1987, Mirandinha was kept for the Brazilian national team for the first time.
04:25His first match was against England.
04:26And he scored.
04:28So then Newcastle board, Newcastle manager, were convinced that he was the right guy for Newcastle.
04:33It took four seasons before a Brazilian even stepped foot in the Premier League.
04:39Players from Montserrat, Malta and Zimbabwe featured before anyone from football's most famous country.
04:46But that all changed in 1995.
04:54I thought that he could find the wrong club.
04:57Because Brazilian and Coventry didn't go together at the time.
04:59And I was thinking, what we got here...
05:01Obviously, he's probably on the beach somewhere thinking like,
05:04oh, he's near the coast and he can get close to London.
05:07But he was stuck in the middle of Coventry.
05:08He adapted and fitted in really well in the dressing room.
05:11Isaias left Brazil so early.
05:14Like, he made his career in Portugal.
05:17He was a really good player for Benfica.
05:19So, in Brazil, people didn't know about him.
05:21He taught us a lot about how technical he was.
05:24The levels that you need to be to play.
05:26Teaching us on and off the pitch, really.
05:29Meanwhile, a town in the northeast of England became an unlikely hub for Brazilian footballers.
05:36It bore all the hallmarks of a presidential visit.
05:39Cameras, press, public waiting anxiously.
05:42Giannino finally touched down at Teesside Airport.
05:45And suddenly, we all realized the dream had come true.
05:48I remember, like, from when I climbed to Teesside,
05:53there were Brazil flags in the airport.
05:55There was a family of Brazilians.
05:57And then, when I came to become friends of them,
06:01I had made the Umbro Cup tournament in England.
06:06That's when Brian got the interest of the interest of the team.
06:09Do you mean you had heard about the interest when I sort of went under Terry Venables
06:14and was assistant term manager with England?
06:17We had the Umbro Cup.
06:19And I just saw these two Brazilians who I thought, wow.
06:23And it was Giannino and Roberto Carlos.
06:25When we'd actually done the deal with Giannino,
06:29I said, what about Roberto Carlos?
06:32Any chance of you selling him?
06:34And they said, look, one week ago, Brian, we sold them to Inter Milan.
06:39If I'd been a week earlier, I might have been able to sign Roberto Carlos.
06:44With the Union.
06:46I had only two years in São Paulo,
06:49playing with all players serving the Brazilian Seleção.
06:52So I was living a dream here in Brazil.
06:55But I believed in Brian's project.
06:58I think it was him who really convinced me.
07:01And everything that he promised me happened.
07:05Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino!
07:14Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino!
07:19Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino!
07:21Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino!
07:23Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino! Gino
07:50The idea of Brazilians, of international players coming over with real excitement and skill different levels than basically the maybe
07:58players that had sort of graced the league before and I think it was that transformation of a very solid
08:02rigid 4-4-2 very physical type of football into number 10s.
08:07Giannino was one of the first and you thought, how can he play in the Premier League? He's too small.
08:13He dealt with the challenges that came from the conditions and the pitches and obviously the challenges we were putting
08:18in against him or that we were trying to put against him.
08:20And when these guys were at their best, Giannino, he was a top player. I think when you bring quality
08:24players into the league and the clubs they were going to,
08:26it certainly would help their teammates around them and they would help the players up against them because you're learning
08:31from players all the time.
08:32And when I came up against players like that, technically very, very good, you could only learn from them.
08:38I think Giannino just wanted to be part of the Premiership and a new challenge because the Brazilian mentality from
08:47that time was,
08:48if you're Brazilian, unless you make it in Europe and you prove yourself in Europe, then you're a top player.
08:55It's now the boys from Brazil on Teesside with Branco. Giannino, for one, is clearly delighted.
09:02You're happy he's here? Yeah. And he...
09:05Giannino's delighted in the sense that there's another Brazilian into the camp. That'll help him.
09:13The red carpet was out as Teesside's latest boy from Brazil took the road to the Riverside in a bid
09:19to further his international career.
09:21I've been monitoring him for quite a length of time. I spoke to Bobby Robson and he thinks he's an
09:27outstanding player.
09:28He's just annoyed with me because he didn't want to let him leave his club.
09:30Good luck. I'm really glad to thank you.
09:33I went across to Porto to watch him in a couple of Champions League games and, yeah, I was impressed
09:40as soon as I saw him.
09:42Emerson was sort of like a natural for me as well to come in and suit Giannino.
09:49Samba boys, we used to call him, didn't we? The swagger, the dance and everything else. All the different characters.
09:55You've got Branco who's already won the World Cup.
09:57And this time it's Branco!
09:59I wanted to have a left foot. Then we've got the marvellous Emerson.
10:03Emerson!
10:04Good in the dressing room. The little fella who was finally known, Giannino. Everyone just adored him.
10:09Brilliant skill by Giannino!
10:11Now we have players coming to England. Did you have other players that came to talk to you about that?
10:17They always asked, right? Because the two most popular leagues were Spanish and Italian.
10:24But when it started, because I saw the Premier League there from the beginning.
10:28And the organization was already spectacular.
10:32So, as it was not much divulged for Brazil, I didn't have much interest from the players.
10:39When this, when this, when this divulgation started to come and the clubs started to strengthen and open this South
10:48American market, there were a lot of interest.
10:54Despite Middlesbrough's success stories, their fellow countrymen stayed away from England.
10:59Whilst Ronaldo was lighting up the France 98 World Cup, the Premier League's only Brazilian was an uncapped defender at
11:07Sheffield Wednesday, Emerson Thome.
11:11It's a different world from the Copacabana to Sheffield's gritty industrial heartland.
11:15But it's a trip Brazilian Emerson Thome is glad he's made.
11:18I'm very happy here. I enjoy playing in England.
11:21Maybe Brazilian players don't have many choices for coming here.
11:25Maybe sometimes it's difficult for the language.
11:27Emerson Thome, no one knows in Brazil.
11:29For a kid in Brazil, the dream was to play for Real Madrid, for Barcelona, for Inter Milan, for Milan,
11:35for Juventus.
11:36Not for Chelsea, not for Man United, back in that day.
11:40There was a chance to see Arsenal's new foreign trio.
11:43Stefan Maltz, Oleg Luzni and Silvinho.
11:46Silvinho was the first proper Brazilian Premier League player.
11:49Because he used to play for Corinthians.
11:51And playing for Corinthians, he was quite attacking, aggressive.
11:54But he learned so fast how to be a good defender under Arsene Wenger.
11:59The deal is sealed. Edu's a gunner.
12:01But hang on, he's taken Manu Petit's number.
12:04It's too early to say that he can replace Petit as a potential.
12:08Edu was kind of a complete player as well.
12:11Because he could defend very well as a holding midfielder.
12:14In Brazil, we call him, like, the 12th player.
12:17Like, not a start 11, but he's always there.
12:20In the bad moments, in the good moments.
12:22And a touch of the South American swagger as well. Edu!
12:27In 2002, Brazil won the World Cup. And for the first time, a player based in England was in the
12:33squad, Juninho.
12:35Now into his third spell with Middlesbrough.
12:38But Arsenal signed another member of that team straight after the tournament.
12:45Gilberto Silva was one of the stars of the World Cup. Now he could be on his way to the
12:50Premiership.
12:51Arsenal have agreed a £4.5 million fee with his club, Atletico Mineiro.
12:56What were the perceptions, the ideas that you had about playing here, football here?
13:02Not much, to be honest. Not much, to be honest.
13:04One interesting thing is that I didn't know much about English football.
13:08You hear about Spanish, Italian. I grew up watching Italian football.
13:14It was more common for us, Germany.
13:16The first one, Mirandinho, a long time ago at Newcastle. I always thanked him.
13:22But then, Silvinho also. Edu.
13:25For me, it was great coming to Arsenal and having Edu.
13:29Because he helped me on a day-to-day. He was like the big brother.
13:33Despite the fact we were competing by the position, it was a big respect from each other.
13:39I have a great gratitude for him and his wife, Paula.
13:44Because they really took care of me.
13:47It's Schildbert! Oh! What a start!
13:51Back then, playing for Atletico Mineiro, you know, the football we practiced there was totally different.
13:57You know, the intensity.
13:58Brazil is very hot.
14:00You know, you cannot play the same intensity as you play here in England.
14:04The style of playing was something that really suits me.
14:08The intensity of the tackling, I said, wow.
14:12Welcome to England.
14:13A World Cup winner and now a Premiership Champions medal as well.
14:18I believe maybe the English leagues haven't discovered proper Brazil before then.
14:23It was funny because I arrived after the World Cup.
14:29Many people were expecting me to score a lot of goals, do some tricks like Ronaldinho, for example.
14:35And then I understood that they were not familiar with our game in Brazil.
14:41I just have to tell them, listen, I'm not Ronaldinho.
14:45Don't expect me to do what he does and to do like the free kicks like Roberto Carlos or Ronaldo's.
14:51I'm not this player.
14:52I'm the guy who will work hard for the others to shine.
14:58Talks with Rivaldo are ongoing as Bolton Wanderers look to secure the services of the former World Player of the
15:03Year.
15:04Ronaldinho looks to be one step closer to a move to Manchester United.
15:08Last season's Premiership champions are believed to have made an official bid worth up to £18.5 million.
15:17After the World Cup, Premier League clubs were in for Brazil's biggest names.
15:21But the three superstars from that winning side chose Spain or Italy instead.
15:28England was not a thing for Brazilian players.
15:31And Brazilian players were not a thing for English football as well.
15:34It was normal at that time.
15:35A evolução do futebol.
15:37Hoje, os grandes jogadores estão no futebol inglês.
15:40E de acordo com os grandes campeonatos, os grandes jogadores vão se posicionando
15:43pra esses grandes centros, essas grandes cidades.
15:46Hoje, o futebol inglês é um dos melhores futebols mundial que existe jogando no mundo.
15:51Por isso, a maioria da concentração dos jogadores do futebol brasileiro está na Inglaterra.
15:57Some World Cup winners did arrive in England.
16:00Kleberson ended up at Manchester United.
16:03£18 million worth of some of the world's most exciting football talent
16:06get their first taste of life as Manchester United players.
16:10There's a big issue about European football.
16:13When you win them.
16:14That's why it's signs like this do encourage me.
16:17Defender Roque Junior signed for Leeds.
16:20And Ricardinho became another Brazilian to rock up at the Riverside, although he never played.
16:27I've seen him. It was well recommended by Juninho and Deriva.
16:31Slowly but surely, Brazilians were starting to appear across the league.
16:36So how did they cope with adapting to English football?
16:41Settling in a foreign land is the biggest challenge facing any player moving to a new country.
16:46Juninho tackled that one by attempting to make a home from home.
16:49He's surrounded by his family on Teesside.
16:56If the publicity ever goes to Juninho's head, there's always his mother to bring him back down to earth.
17:01Her favourite player of all time is Zico.
17:03Is Juninho better than Zico?
17:06Juninho better than Zico?
17:20Juninho better than Zico?
17:24No.
17:24In the future...
17:26I've had to put a journal in my lap and get the brakes off to the foot not to get
17:30exhausted.
17:31For me, it was crucial to learn English.
17:34Not only for football.
17:37But for me personally.
17:39It's the best way for me to adapt fast to the country.
17:42Which is cold, rains a lot...
17:46This was never a skill for me.
17:48Before I moved, I listened to so many Brazilian colleagues who played in Europe or other parts of the world,
17:55you know, finding difficulties with the food, for example.
17:59I never thought this was a problem for me.
18:08So, over 20 years on, do Brazilian players still face the same challenges adapting to life in England?
18:16The weather is not the best.
18:17But, at the same time, we, Brazilians, are really easy to adapt to different environments.
18:22Luckily, I am from south of Brazil.
18:24There, it rains a lot in the winter.
18:27So, for me, the weather wasn't a problem.
18:30It was important for me to be able to develop my English,
18:35which was one of the most difficult parts I had in my communication.
18:37I had to talk with some people the way I wanted to receive, the way I wanted to play.
18:46In the beginning, it was a bit difficult for the language, everything like that.
18:51To understand, the football was different, more quickly.
18:57It was a good moment for me to improve every day.
19:00Why did the Premier League brought you as a player?
19:03All games are difficult.
19:07You value every victory.
19:09The beginning was difficult because different countries, different languages, food, everything.
19:14I think my first six months I was a little bit struggling.
19:18I had two friends, Domingos Quina and Gomes, Aurelio Gomes.
19:22It helped me a lot.
19:24And then, after that, I was fine.
19:26Now, when I go to Brazil in the summer, I want to come back,
19:28because here is, I think, now is my new home.
19:34Take the camera.
19:35One, two, three.
19:37Casemiro.
19:37Alexandre Becker.
19:39One more, please.
19:40Estevam.
19:41One more time, just a little bit slower.
19:43Gabriel dos Santos Magalhães.
19:45Bruno Guimarães.
19:47Igor Thiago.
19:51For any Brazilian player, pulling on that yellow jersey is the greatest honor.
19:56And Brazil's recent squads for the World Cup are dominated by Premier League stars.
20:01But look how much has changed.
20:03Just one player in the 2002, 2006 and 2010 squads.
20:09Up to 12 for the last tournament in Qatar.
20:13The Premier League is a fantastic league.
20:16What they bring the player experience.
20:19We have more than ten players that are playing here.
20:22Of course, it's a league really, really excited.
20:26Carlo Ancelotti is certainly keeping an eye on England.
20:29In the last calendar year, Premier League players have dominated his squad selections,
20:33more than any other division in the world.
20:36And this year's World Cup squad is no different, with eight players from the Premier League.
20:41So why does playing over here help Brazilians earn national call-ups?
20:47Massive.
20:48That was one of the reasons I wanted to move to England as well.
20:52The time as a striker.
20:54Because I thought if I do well here, I have a big chance to be a call-up.
20:58It did work as a striker, but it worked as a midfield.
21:01Jogar na seleção brasileira é muito difícil.
21:06Tem muitos jogadores com muita qualidade.
21:11Eu acho que estar aqui na Premier League facilita.
21:16Existem jogadores de seleções.
21:19Existem jogadores de alto nível.
21:22Se você ver o Wolves, que briga para não...
21:24Que hoje é o último colocado.
21:26Existem jogadores de seleções brasileiras.
21:29André, João.
21:30E o nível de competitividade dessa competição,
21:34acho que é o mais...
21:35Que foi assim, o mais surpreendido dessa league.
21:39Algumas notícias para trazer vocês no Brentford.
21:42Igor Thiago ganhou seu primeiro call-up para a equipe do Brasil.
21:46Eles jogam na França e na Croácia depois desse mês.
21:49E é o Thiago!
21:51E no dia em que ele foi chamado pelo Brasil pela primeira vez.
21:54Ele pode celebrá-lo com outro gol.
21:58É curioso ver tantos novos brasileiros jogando na Premier League.
22:04Você acha que isso é bom? Que é positivo?
22:06Assim, o nível de competitividade,
22:07de onde você tem que chegar, de onde você tem que estar,
22:11o que você tem que fazer para poder estar lá na seleção.
22:14Se uma pessoa, se um atleta consegue ter um bom desempenho numa liga
22:18como a Premier League,
22:20ele consegue ter um desempenho bom na seleção.
22:23Entende?
22:24Eu estava tendo um bom desempenho na Bélgica também,
22:27mas o balanço é diferente.
22:29A Bélgica para a Premier League é algo diferente, entende?
22:32Então...
22:33Quando eu falo sobre o Brasil,
22:35o time é difícil em todas as posições.
22:38Se eu fizer meu trabalho aqui,
22:40eu espero que eu possa estar na Copa do Mundial.
22:42Eu quero fazer minha história.
22:45Claro que eu tenho uma inspiração,
22:47como Arnay, Adriano, Romário, Neymar.
22:52Eu quero que as pessoas pensem que eu sou o João Pedro.
22:56Estamos na luta, né?
22:58Sabemos da dificuldade,
23:00porque são muitos atacantes, né?
23:03E as vagas estão afunilando aí, né?
23:06Vamos esperar aí para ver.
23:07A competição é muito grande,
23:09são grandes jogadores,
23:11mas eu tento fazer meu máximo para que possa aparecer oportunidade.
23:15Cara, o Ancelotti, ele sabe o quão difícil é a Premier League.
23:20Ele esteve aqui e sabe...
23:22Cara, isso é legal até porque faz nos crescer,
23:27não somente como jogador, mas também como pessoa.
23:30Isso traz uma motivação a mais.
23:34A Premier League se tornou 15 em 2007 e 2008,
23:38e o número de brasileiros na Inglaterra
23:40cresceu cada ano.
23:45O Lucas é um jogador que nós sabíamos.
23:47Nós sabíamos que alguns dos top-seiros
23:49tentavam adicioná-lo,
23:50e então fazemos o movimento rapidamente.
23:53Eu tive ofertas e interesses
23:55por outros clubes,
23:56da Itália, da Espanha,
23:58outros clubes da Premier League.
24:01O Liverpool é um clube único,
24:02e eu acho que eu fiz a decisão
24:04porque eu acabo jogando por 10 anos.
24:07Minas duas crianças nasceram em Liverpool,
24:09são escolas,
24:10então foi um ótimo tempo que eu passei lá.
24:12Quando você era criança no Grêmio, em Porto Alegre,
24:16você tinha uma liga de sonho?
24:19Eu acho que a Premier League,
24:20naquela época,
24:21não era a Premier League que estamos falando agora.
24:23Meu sonho no início da minha carreira
24:25era jogar em Itália,
24:27ou em Espanha.
24:29Brasileiros normalmente
24:30vão fazer a step em Portugal primeiro,
24:32mas eu fui de Brasil para a Inglaterra,
24:35que foi um grande risco.
24:37Para um jovem de 20 anos,
24:40foi uma grande mudança para mim,
24:41a cultura, a língua.
24:42Eu não podia falar inglês,
24:44que fez isso muito difícil no início.
25:03Foi um grande mudança para mim,
25:14foi um grande mudança para mim.
25:17que foi um grande mudança para mim,
25:24que foi um grande mudança para mim,
25:29que foi um grande mudança para mim.
25:33que foi um grande mudança para mim,
25:34mas nesse momento foi muito difícil,
25:37porque da Premier League,
25:38da forma como o futebol foi jogado.
25:40Quando eu cheguei no clube,
25:42talvez eles esperavam um jogador brasileiro,
25:46em termos de habilidade e de atingir.
25:48e, claro,
25:50depois de muitos jogadores brasileiros
25:52chegaram em Liverpool,
25:53eu fui um tipo de figura de pai,
25:56especialmente para Coutinho
25:57e Roberto Firmino.
25:59Em seu marido em Anfield,
26:01eu lembro que
26:02havia alguns signos que eu vi
26:04que disseram
26:04Lucas Leyva,
26:06um verdadeiro scouser.
26:07Quanto importante foi para você
26:09se integrar para a cidade?
26:11Eu acho que eu realmente vivi na cidade.
26:14Eu conheço muitos jogadores
26:16que vivem em Manchester, perto de mim,
26:18e eu sempre queria viver em Liverpool.
26:21Eu realmente senti que o clube
26:22era minha casa.
26:27Elsewhere,
26:28Manchester City, em particular,
26:29added a real Brazilian flavour
26:31para o seu squad.
26:32E, across the city,
26:34Sir Alex Ferguson's
26:35latest rebuild
26:36of Manchester United
26:37brought the newest wave
26:39of Brazilian title winners.
26:4119-year-old Brazilian Anderson
26:43played against United
26:44for Porto
26:45in last summer's
26:46Amsterdam tournament
26:46and a rise
26:47with glowing reports.
26:49In Brazil,
26:50it was like,
26:51everybody was seeing him
26:53as the next star.
26:54He lacked consistency.
26:55But Sir Alex Ferguson
26:57loved him.
26:57If Alex Ferguson
26:58loves a player,
26:59he's not a bad player, right?
27:01Actually,
27:01Andalman makes me smile.
27:02I think he's just a bundle of energy
27:04and enthusiasm
27:04and fun, really.
27:05I enjoyed playing with him.
27:07He's so talented,
27:08immensely talented.
27:09We had some really good times, you know?
27:12Rafael!
27:13It's an absolute showstopper!
27:16It's so unusual for you
27:17to have, like,
27:18identical twins
27:18coming from Brazil
27:20to Man United.
27:21One playing as a left-back,
27:23the other one plays
27:24as a right-back.
27:25We could see the talent there.
27:27They were the boys
27:28that convinced me
27:29that my career at Manchester United
27:30was over.
27:31I always remember,
27:32in training,
27:33watching how sharp
27:34they were to the ball,
27:36watching how quick
27:36they were in the tackle,
27:37watching how they had the ability
27:39to go and take the ball
27:39off wide players
27:40and wingers.
27:41Rafael was the one
27:42who was taking my position
27:43and I remember him
27:44just coming in
27:45and sort of ratting
27:46and aggressive
27:46and thinking,
27:47I'm nowhere near.
27:48This is what I was.
27:50It was a joy at the end
27:51watching them come through.
27:54More Brazilian title winners
27:56followed at Chelsea.
28:00Juliano Beletti
28:01and the centre-back, Alex.
28:04They were part
28:04of Carlo Ancelotti's
28:062009-2010 champions.
28:11All these arrivals
28:12had really changed
28:13the landscape
28:14for Brazilian players
28:15in England.
28:16They were no longer
28:17on the periphery
28:18and more integral parts
28:20of squads
28:21at successful clubs.
28:23A new round
28:24of questioning
28:24for Jose Mourinho.
28:26This time,
28:26the subject was
28:27Brazilian midfielder
28:28Willian,
28:29apparently on the brink
28:30of a move to Tottenham
28:31until Chelsea
28:32stepped in late.
28:33That's the danger
28:34of medicals
28:35before contracts.
28:36The best thing to do
28:37is to do the medical
28:38in secret.
28:41So you expect it to be done
28:42soon,
28:43soon one night.
28:46We have to do a medical.
28:51I started to watch the Premier League
28:53when I went to Ukraine.
28:55One of the teams
28:56that I started to watch
28:56was Chelsea.
28:57Everyone knows
28:58that I went to Tottenham
28:59on the training ground
29:00and then I left the training ground
29:02to sign with Chelsea.
29:04So it wasn't hard at all
29:05to pick Chelsea over Spurs?
29:07No, no.
29:08It was easy,
29:10to be honest.
29:11Was it connected
29:12to relationship
29:13that they were already
29:14developing
29:15with Brazilians?
29:16Yeah.
29:16I think also because of
29:18the coach,
29:19Felipão.
29:20Belletti was playing there.
29:22Alex,
29:23when you have
29:24Brazilian players
29:25in the team
29:26so it becomes
29:27more easy,
29:28you know,
29:28to adapt.
29:29Ramirez,
29:30Oscar,
29:31David Luiz.
29:32So they treat me so well.
29:35not only them but
29:36the whole club,
29:37the whole team.
29:39Watching World Cups
29:40there was always this magic
29:41about Brazil.
29:42Big impact from these players
29:43for Chelsea.
29:44David Luiz
29:45played as a fantastic
29:46centre-back for us.
29:47I'll never forget even
29:48his desire to play
29:50in the Champions League final
29:51when he had this hamstring injury
29:52a couple of weeks before.
29:53Strong man,
29:54strong player.
29:55You wouldn't want to get into
29:55too much of a battle with him.
29:57He had something a bit special
29:59for a centre-back.
30:00I think Willian is an underrated
30:01player in the Premier League.
30:02Him and Nicolas and Elka,
30:04in my opinion,
30:04aren't the best at stopping
30:05and starting and shooting.
30:07And that was a real talent.
30:08And then Ramirez,
30:09huge for us
30:10in our important run
30:11towards winning
30:11the Champions League
30:12and the double that year.
30:13So they all had different things.
30:14Great character
30:15around themselves
30:16off the pitch.
30:17Probably more laid-back
30:18than us British.
30:19You know, they come in
30:20and have this different way
30:21of handling stuff,
30:22which I learnt from
30:23working with them.
30:24It was great to have
30:25this sort of diversity
30:26of players coming from all over
30:27and the best players.
30:29Last back in by Willian!
30:32How did you bring
30:33some Brazilian into
30:35the Premier League?
30:36My style is skills
30:38to accelerate with the ball,
30:401v1 situations.
30:42Some magic is also...
30:43People like to watch
30:44this kind of, you know,
30:46situations.
30:47I think that's why
30:48I stayed so long
30:48in the Premier League.
30:49Leaving it for Willian!
30:51Oh, brilliant!
30:53Oh, brilliant goal!
30:55Willian finds
30:56the top corner!
30:57You became the Brazilian
30:59with the most appearances
31:01in the Premier League.
31:02How proud are you of that?
31:04My family, my daughters,
31:06they love London.
31:07They're growing up in London.
31:09They love everything
31:10about England,
31:11about London.
31:12I'm happy, of course,
31:14because of that.
31:15I think I have to be proud.
31:18Brazilian influence in England
31:19was continuing to grow,
31:21especially at Manchester City.
31:23Pep Guardiola's
31:24first title-winning side
31:25had four in.
31:26And one went on
31:28to be the first Brazilian
31:29to lift the Premier League
31:30trophy as captain.
31:37For me, it was something
31:39really special.
31:40Leading those guys,
31:42for me, was a pleasure.
31:44The performance they put
31:45on the game,
31:46on the pitch, every time
31:47was something beautiful,
31:49to watch.
31:50It helped me a lot.
31:52I don't forget,
31:53when I arrived here,
31:54I was new.
31:54I need help.
31:56I need help for the staff,
31:58but especially,
31:58I need help for the players.
31:59I've been here for a while.
32:01In the bad moments,
32:03they join together to do it.
32:04You cannot achieve what we achieve
32:07without incredible,
32:08huge personalities.
32:09No skills.
32:11Characters.
32:12How do you see the development
32:14of the relationship Brazilians have
32:16with the Premier League
32:17throughout the years?
32:18Because you were here for so long.
32:20When I got to Europe,
32:22in Ukraine,
32:23normally we watch other leagues,
32:26especially the Premier League,
32:28especially the Italian League,
32:29the Spanish League.
32:30And as a young player,
32:32you're always thinking,
32:33I'll be able to play in that league
32:35one day.
32:35and obviously,
32:37the Premier League
32:37became much better
32:39than the Spanish League
32:40and the Serie A,
32:41the Italian League.
32:42And obviously,
32:43the wish comes,
32:44you know.
32:44I come to Manchester
32:46and then I stay
32:47for 30 days in the hotel.
32:49And the Fabio and the Raphael,
32:51they helped me a lot
32:51because as a Brazilian,
32:54you know,
32:54you love to eat some beans,
32:56you know, black beans.
32:57They invited me most of the time
32:58to join them for dinner,
33:01you know, for barbecues.
33:02This is one of the case,
33:04making my adaptation really easy.
33:07We had a small community
33:08of Brazilian players
33:09and, you know,
33:10the families,
33:11because we miss home,
33:12you know.
33:13Maybe you did this
33:14to other players as well
33:15as they did this to you.
33:17When I first move,
33:19someone take care of me
33:20and when they move,
33:22I start to take care
33:24of other players.
33:25Gabi comes
33:26and then Ederson comes,
33:27Danilo comes,
33:28and then, you know,
33:29I try to receive them
33:31the best way possible
33:32to settle as soon as possible.
33:34Brazilian players
33:35were now household names
33:36in England.
33:37So, how much have they laid
33:39the path
33:40for the current generation?
33:47I think because
33:48Premier League is the more difficult
33:50and the best league in the world,
33:53I think everyone wants to be here.
33:55I think now a lot of Brazilian players
33:57want to come here
33:58and have a lot of Brazilian players now.
34:01I had this opportunity.
34:03It was my dream
34:03to play Premier League.
34:05I could do it.
34:06I came here and now
34:08I'm living this dream.
34:09What a save!
34:11An incredible stop from Perry.
34:12To me, the Premier League
34:14is the best league in the world.
34:15Knowing that a lot of Brazilians
34:16came here and had success
34:18is a big thing for me.
34:20Seeing especially
34:21Alisson and Ederson
34:22that were really successful here.
34:24They told me about
34:25the speed of the game,
34:26the quality of the players,
34:28the challenges you face.
34:33I think it's the strongest league
34:36in the world.
34:36Every game here is difficult.
34:39If you are not your best,
34:40you're going to have a difficult day.
34:42So, I think the best players
34:43want to play with the best.
34:57Last season, the Premier League
34:58was the most watched European League
35:01in Brazil.
35:02But that hasn't always been the case.
35:04Quais eram suas referências
35:06da Premier League?
35:07Nem transmiti.
35:07Aqui passava muito futebol italiano
35:09e o espanhol.
35:11O Brian me mandou,
35:12me mandava cassete, né,
35:13na época.
35:15E eu olhava os jogos assim,
35:17falava,
35:17nossa, eu vou ficar com dor no pescoço, né?
35:20De olhar a bola passando por cima.
35:24Mas, quando eu olho o vídeo
35:26e aí depois me transfiro
35:28e começo a jogar,
35:30totalmente diferente.
35:32Did you feel,
35:33throughout the years
35:34that you were here,
35:34the perceptions that people had
35:36from the Premier League
35:38were changing in Brazil?
35:40Totally.
35:41We didn't watch English Leagues
35:43in Brazil,
35:44growing up there.
35:45I came here,
35:47I think they start to show
35:48the Premier League
35:49and then,
35:51instead of,
35:52we say,
35:53English League,
35:54we start to say,
35:55Premier League.
35:55Once,
35:56they have an opportunity,
35:57they start to enjoy
35:58and the fans adopted
36:00as one of the main competitions
36:03for them to watch.
36:05You never wondered
36:06what it would be like
36:07to play another big European League?
36:10I had the opportunity
36:11to play for Barcelona
36:13in 2018.
36:14Chelsea,
36:15they didn't accept the offer.
36:17Also,
36:17myself,
36:18I didn't force Chelsea
36:19to accept the offer
36:20because I was,
36:21I was happy at Chelsea.
36:23The Premier League,
36:24it changed a little bit
36:25in terms of visibility.
36:27Before,
36:28it was only Madrid-Barça,
36:29Madrid-Barça,
36:30and now,
36:31it's a little bit of,
36:32maybe 50-50,
36:34I don't know.
36:34I believe
36:35the Premier League
36:37is the most complete
36:37of all the leagues.
36:39I've played in Italian,
36:41I've played in Portuguese,
36:44I've played in Portuguese,
36:44with Porto,
36:45the French League,
36:46etc.
36:46All these leagues,
36:47it seems to be
36:50they give the Premier League
36:51in the end.
36:53I'm from a generation
36:55that was more thinking
36:57about Spain and Italy.
36:59All the Brazilian football players
37:02from my generation,
37:03they dreamt about playing for Barcelona,
37:05playing for Real Madrid.
37:07Now,
37:07I think things are changing a little bit.
37:09You are of a generation
37:10that,
37:11you know,
37:13a lot of people
37:14were playing for Real Madrid-Barcelona.
37:16Where did you enter the Premier League?
37:19I'd say that
37:20in the last 10 years
37:24was the time
37:25that gave the boom.
37:27The money here
37:28is to get players,
37:30teams that are going to fight
37:31for them,
37:3250-70 million people
37:34are going to get players.
37:35The Burnley is playing Walker.
37:36Walker is playing.
37:37He's a player
37:38who has titles
37:40at the Premier League,
37:41has his history
37:42in football
37:42and plays at the Premier League.
37:44With all respect
37:45to the Premier League,
37:45but he's a great guy.
37:48He's a player
37:48who is in West Ham.
37:49He's a club
37:50who is fighting for us.
37:52I think that
37:53this is the great merit
37:54of this league.
37:56We know
37:57that we love the Premier League.
37:58Everyone watch.
37:59No matter the game,
38:00if the Premier League is playing,
38:01you stop and you watch.
38:04Chasing Manchester City,
38:05Jurgen Klopp also relied on
38:07Brazilian players
38:07to help drive his Liverpool side.
38:10He'd already sold
38:11Felipe Coutinho to Barcelona
38:12for a British record
38:13of 146 million pounds.
38:17But alongside Mohamed Salah
38:19and Sadio Mane was...
38:21Roberto Firmino
38:23for Bobby Dazla.
38:26It almost felt like
38:27people weren't quite sure
38:28what to do with him.
38:29What position was he was?
38:30He was supposed to play.
38:31He played at wide.
38:33He played as a number 10.
38:34He certainly didn't play
38:35as a central striker alone.
38:37And that's the role
38:38he played under Jürgen Klopp.
38:39And when you look at him physically,
38:40he doesn't have a lot of pace.
38:42You think,
38:42well, how can he play that role?
38:43But he played that role to perfection.
38:46Every person you speak to about,
38:48Bobby Firmino,
38:48who's played with him,
38:49probably the rest of the footballing world
38:51probably don't realise
38:51how good he actually is
38:53with the ball,
38:53without the ball.
38:54You know, without the ball,
38:55the work he used to do,
38:57the positions he took up,
38:58the blindside pressing
38:59and putting people under pressure
39:00and winning it back.
39:01His ability on the ball,
39:03outrageous.
39:04The tricks he used to do,
39:05but not for the sake of it,
39:06not to be flash.
39:07It'd be to do a genuine assist for someone
39:10or get away from a man,
39:12hold it up,
39:13score goals,
39:14both feet,
39:15ability,
39:16strength,
39:17never stop running,
39:18never seem to get injured ever,
39:20never really missed a game,
39:22never stop smiling.
39:24I know we have certain roles
39:26in midfield,
39:27holding midfield position,
39:28which is the McAleen role.
39:29And when you saw the Fulton High role,
39:31and the way Firmino played it,
39:33certainly in the Premier League,
39:34I think for me,
39:34that's the Firmino role.
39:35And I just don't know
39:36if Liverpool could have had the success
39:38with Salah
39:39or Mandanet
39:40without Firmino.
39:41After falling just short in 2018,
39:44Liverpool targeted more Brazilians
39:46in the market that summer.
39:48Liverpool have announced the signing
39:50of Fabinho from Monaco,
39:52the Brazilian midfielder we're told
39:54will cost 43.7 million pounds.
39:59Fabi,
40:00you know,
40:00the six brought everything together,
40:02marshalling the midfield.
40:03The full backs,
40:04how attacking they were,
40:05someone had to fill in for those guys
40:06and he was normally that guy.
40:08And getting us playing,
40:09winning those loose second balls
40:10and getting us on the attack again.
40:12Next came a crucial addition in goal.
40:15Liverpool have completed a deal
40:17to sign Roma goalkeeper Alisson
40:18for a fee of 67 million pounds,
40:21making him the world's most expensive goalkeeper.
40:25World record fees,
40:26it's not Alisson's price,
40:27it's not what we wanted to pay
40:28or whatever,
40:29it's only that the market makes it.
40:31So we are ambitious,
40:32that was clear from the first second
40:33since I'm in.
40:34Did you speak to any of the Brazilians
40:36about being a Brazilian in the Premier League?
40:38Yeah, I did.
40:39I spoke to Ederson,
40:40I spoke to Bobby more,
40:41and he told me everything that I needed to know
40:44about the club,
40:45about the Premier League.
40:47I think the Brazilian methodology
40:48can bring good things to all the leagues.
40:51We are known for being good technically,
40:55to have good movements,
40:57not only between the posts,
40:59but for covering bigger spaces like our box,
41:03our own box.
41:03We are goalkeepers that play under pressure
41:06since we are young.
41:08If you play for a big club,
41:10and then you start playing in the first team,
41:13you're going to play at Maracanã against Flamengo,
41:15huge pressure,
41:17full stadium,
41:17we're going to play Libertadores.
41:19So you are a lot under pressure,
41:21and Brazilian goalkeepers can add a lot for all leagues.
41:26For me, he was the best goalkeeper in the Premier League,
41:29four or five seasons.
41:31When we think of typical Brazilians,
41:32we always say, you know,
41:33flair players,
41:34but I just think there's been a succession
41:37of great Brazilian goalkeepers,
41:38going back a really long time,
41:39and they seem to produce great keepers.
41:41I think him,
41:43Virgil van Dijk,
41:43and Mo Salah,
41:44they're the three pillars really.
41:46When I think of Jürgen Kropp's team,
41:47lots of other great players around it,
41:48they've changed the face of it,
41:50as I'm a football player over the last 10 years.
41:52Ali, unbelievable,
41:53nothing fazed him,
41:54made a mistake,
41:55did not care,
41:56hated making acrobatic saves,
41:58wanted to do the job,
42:00didn't want anything flash,
42:01made difficult things look really easy,
42:04really good with his feet,
42:06such a calming influence,
42:07one-on-one,
42:08the best goalkeeper I've ever seen by a margin.
42:11He was a massive part of the dressing room.
42:13For me, the most important Premier League players
42:16that came from Brazil
42:17were Alisson and Anderson.
42:19They were a type of goalkeeper
42:20that didn't exist in Brazil
42:22and didn't exist in England.
42:24With their feet,
42:25they were so good.
42:26It seemed we could play in a certain way
42:27in the questions of the process build-up
42:30than many teams.
42:31Maybe now a little bit less
42:32with a lot of my markings,
42:34but most of the teams tried to do it
42:36and incredible figure.
42:38The team wasn't ready to play in the way Pep wanted.
42:43When Anderson comes,
42:45his style of play during the season
42:47showed the reason City bought him.
42:51He becomes one of the main pieces of the whole week's structure.
42:56Every time you're going to play against Manchester City,
43:00you have to bark 11 players,
43:02then plus the goalkeeper.
43:04I think we contributed a lot
43:06in a way that people could see that,
43:08okay, we can have a goalkeeper
43:09who plays better with the feet.
43:11I was lucky to come to a club,
43:13to a team that gave me the freedom,
43:16to a manager that gave me the freedom
43:17to do what was necessary on the pitch,
43:20and sometimes even taking some more risk than normal.
43:26So here we are in 2026.
43:29The Premier League has featured over 30 Brazilians
43:32in the last four seasons,
43:33an incredible journey since the division's early days.
43:37And everywhere you look, there are different stories.
43:41Arsenal's revival under Mikel Arteta
43:43has featured not one, not two, but three Gabriels.
43:48Every day we are together.
43:50They come in the same country.
43:52We are close in Brazil.
43:53They both are from São Paulo.
43:56We talk about the same teams.
43:58We are really happy to be together here.
44:00I'm really proud of myself to represent Brazil
44:02and, of course, to represent my family,
44:05to be in this place, yeah.
44:08Martinelli!
44:09Oh, what a finish!
44:11Playing in the Premier League is just a dream for me.
44:14It's always nice to have someone from your country,
44:16someone that's going to speak your first language
44:20and is going to know what's going on in the country.
44:24We play cards every single day.
44:26We're always joking around.
44:27It's normal.
44:28You have a closer relationship with the ones that are from your country.
44:31Crucial.
44:32There are three of them in very different ways.
44:34Martinelli, because he was here from the beginning,
44:37he was one of the guys that raised the standards,
44:39the energy, the demands, as a role model,
44:41exceptionally constantly.
44:43Big Gabi, because he came here,
44:45he transformed our backline.
44:47I think he gave the team a different kind of aggression and presence.
44:50And Gabriel Jesus, because he brought joy and hope to this club
44:55when it was very much needed.
44:58Newcastle's recent success has had a particularly Brazilian feel to it.
45:02Their cup-winning captain is a popular figure on Tyneside,
45:05as is his partner in midfield.
45:08Joey.
45:09What a guy.
45:10He became a brother for me.
45:11I still remember when I couldn't say any word in English.
45:14He was translating everything for me.
45:16I remember in my first week here,
45:17we go out for a dinner twice in a week.
45:21Put the family together to understand each other.
45:23And now we can't stop to be together.
45:26I knew him from Brazil.
45:27I didn't have contact with him.
45:30I texted Joey on the first day when the club contacted me and my agent.
45:34He never answered me.
45:35I didn't see him.
45:36So I didn't answer him.
45:37A few days later, he signed for the club.
45:40And then I went to post welcome.
45:43And then I sent his message.
45:45So I said, I'm sorry, I didn't see.
45:48Why do you think the fans took you on so quickly?
45:52We never hide ourselves.
45:53We always try to represent the Georges.
45:55We play every game like it's the last one in our life.
45:58And now when we go to the state,
46:00we see a lot of Brazilian flags.
46:02That made me feel very happy in Joe as well.
46:04That was like, wow, I can let them down and give us too many power, energy and excitement
46:10to be represented by our culture in this club.
46:13I hope many Brazilians can come in the future.
46:16Of course, I come to the club with a mindset to be successful and become a striker number
46:21at night and today being a midfielder.
46:25I never thought and never thought to play so many games and be here for so many times.
46:31One of the season's big success stories has been Igor Thiago's emergence at Brentford.
46:36He's managed the most goals in a season by any Brazilian in the Premier League.
46:42And he's had some journey to get to this stage.
46:45I work on a feira.
46:47E I work on a freteiro,
46:51I work on a prefleteiro,
46:54I work on a pedreiro.
46:57I work on aalanche with my ex.
46:59I work on a lava jato.
47:01I work on a cap istle.
47:04It was an in a moment that they've been able to get a mentality today.
47:09I remember that when my agent told me that Brentford was interested in me, it was a shock for me.
47:17I said, my God, what's happening? Premier League.
47:23What did you know about Brentford?
47:25I'm going to be honest, I didn't know anything.
47:29But at that moment I didn't know anything.
47:33But after that moment I started watching all of Brentford, all of the games.
47:37I think Brentford was a perfect choice for me.
47:41Igor Thiago is a great example of Brazilians playing up and down the division.
47:46Just look at the percentage of players now who featured for different Premier League clubs.
47:52If we were to say, I didn't know what.
47:55To say the truth, I knew it.
47:59When the proposal came, I went to research on Google to see who it was, the players.
48:04And the players, the players, the players, the players, the players.
48:06Then there was a video of Troy Dini doing that historic goal.
48:11And then there was Gomes, who came here.
48:15And thanks to God, it was all right.
48:16And thanks to Marco Silva, I did a good job with him at Watford.
48:21And then he went to Everton and took me there too.
48:26That's the magic he is capable of.
48:30Being in the championship, I had to learn, grow up there.
48:34I had to adapt to develop my game.
48:36In Brazil, we play more.
48:39The championship is more physical, more battle.
48:42So I had to adapt to my quality to be able to come back to the Premier League again.
48:48Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest this season have the most Brazilians to represent them in one campaign.
48:54There's been six at the City Ground.
49:18The Premier League clubs are signing younger Brazilians year on year.
49:22And this season is no different as the next batch of Wonder Kids arrive in England.
49:28Chelsea have agreed at an initial £29,1 million deal to sign Brazilian teenager Esteval.
49:35Tell us a little bit about this process of coming back to Chelsea.
49:40And also, I know you've spoken with Thiago Silva about Chelsea.
49:45He came and told me that I would like a lot of the club.
49:48That would be that the club would have an incredible structure.
49:50And I'm sure I can see this today, because the club has everything I need.
49:54So, at the beginning, it's always kind of difficult.
49:56Because they're different styles, with climates and strength.
50:02And their motivation made me move faster,
50:06making me feel comfortable at home,
50:09making my dribbles, having confidence, making the games.
50:12So, I think that confidence was one of the main things that helped me.
50:16A big signing for Bournemouth.
50:18Teenager, Rayan, will join the club from Vasco da Gama for £24,7 million.
50:25I think it's the dream of any player that comes out of the community of Rio de Janeiro.
50:32I've come from a place where I don't have much money.
50:36To come to the Premier League for anyone, I think I need a lot of work and perseverance.
50:42So, I think it's a good moment of realization.
50:45It's a dream for me and my family.
50:48Good ball!
50:52Bournemouth hit the front again.
51:05The club and Manchester United go hand in hand these days.
51:08In fact, four of the top five fees paid in the Premier League for Brazilian players
51:13have come from Old Trafford.
51:15You had Switzerland, Germany, Spain, and you came to England.
51:20How do you think that shaped you?
51:22All the countries in the past teach me a lot of things
51:25and I can adapt faster into different countries, you know.
51:29Even the languages, everything like that.
51:31The customs, everything like something that built me, I think,
51:34not only by the player, but by the persons, you know.
51:37I always want to be here.
51:38And then, of course, I understand it's one of the biggest clubs in the world.
51:41The national team is the same, but the national team is always depressed there.
51:44I always try to feel depressed like a privilege.
51:47Cassie, experience being there, done it, seen it.
51:51Won most things.
51:54Mateus, a little bit different, really.
51:56You know, creative moments.
51:58Has a little bit of magic.
52:01And they're really good characters, really two good personalities.
52:03And obviously both really talented.
52:05And finally, what would you say to a Brazilian player who is coming to the Premier League?
52:13I fight for all the games.
52:16Because what you'll have here, you won't have any league.
52:20I enjoy all the victories.
52:22Because here, winning games is very difficult.
52:25It's important.
52:25It's difficult.
52:27So, life in the Premier League has changed for Brazilians since those early days.
52:32But there's no question, Brazil has also changed the Premier League.
52:37Casemiro!
52:39That's it.
52:40That's it?
52:41That's it?
52:41William.
52:43William's goal!
52:45Da-Tchá, fica com Deus.
52:46Veja, Tchá Tchá.
52:47A-Tchá.
52:48Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha.
52:48Caralho, excellent.
52:49Coutinho, the Brazilian who tries it well and scores a quite sensational goal!
52:55Absolute classic strike!
52:58Obrigada, viu?
52:59De nada, William.
52:59Obrigado.
53:00Juninho, a brilliant skill by Juninho.
53:03A bit of Brazilian magic.
53:05What a sensational hit from Matheus Cunha!
53:09David Luiz, Firmino.
53:12Brazilian magic.
53:14Tchau, tchau.
53:15Tchau, tchau.
