DIDI biography

Born: October 8th. He died: May 12 of the year. See the biography and career of the football player Childhood and Youth Valdair Pereyra, the nickname “Didi”, he received in early childhood it seems and at the same time varies at the same time similar periods of the life of other Brazilian football players of that time. His father, Arthur Oscar, was a football player and wanted his son to follow in his footsteps.

So Didi not only played on the street, but also studied in various clubs of his hometown and the state, he was born in the city of Campus-D-Goyotakazis of the state of Rio de Janeiro. On the other hand, Didi in childhood also felt an extreme need, helped his parents, selling peanuts. And at the age of 14, he ended up in a wheelchair. Then the young man barely escaped amputation after the injury received in the next match.

The future star of world football was able to put on their feet by Grandmother Didi, who treated the grandson with folk remedies. The beginning of the Lensoens career: in Americano, his first club in a professionally career, Didi got at the age of Tie. Like the next club of the midfielder-Lensoons, he performed in the second division of Rio de Janeiro, the Unified Brazil championship was then not played out.

But soon Didi noticed the representatives of Madurera, who played in the state elite. Here he played for two years, after which he moved to Fluminenses. It was already a serious level, one of the clubs of the Big Four Rio. From here he received a call first to the state national team, and then to the national team. Behind Fluminensa, the midfielder played matches, scored 91 goals, however, these numbers cause a completely reasonable doubt, given the various number of tournaments and friendly matches in which Brazilian clubs participated.

But its main advantage was its unique transmission accuracy. It was located in the depths of the field, and there was no point where Didi could not send the ball with amazing accuracy. He was also a master of execution of standards in general and the “dry leaf” in particular. Some even attribute to the Brazilian authorship of this technical technique, but this is not so.

As part of Fluminenses, he won the Rio Cup and the state championship, but left the team in his prime. For the transfer, the club took loans, and managers and even some players invested personal funds. Didi balanced the attacking game of the Star Team-in the year of Botafogo for the first time in 9 years he became the champion of the state of Rio de Janeiro.

" And Didi improve his skill even more. He did not like to run before, believing that you can play football not at the expense of physical data, but with the help of intelligence and technology. However, I note that in order to deliver the ball to the partner 40 and more than meters, Didi sometimes had no need to run anywhere. As one of his partners expressed correctly: "Didi can get a ball into a coin on the other end of the field." At first, he was delighted with what he saw, even called to Madrid Pele.

However, a year later, the Brazilian left the Royal Club. It is generally accepted that he did not find a common language with the leaders of the team, primarily with Alfredo Di Stefano. This is true, but not all. In Real Madrid, another game was demanded from the Brazilian - he had to move around the field, enter into a selection. It is one thing if he could not do this.

I think I just didn’t want to. Yes, Dee Stefano, and other stars felt in him a competitor, besides, Didi received the largest salary in Real Madrid.

But who would have to leave the team in the end, take the Brazilian that challenge all the more so since Didi always had a complete order “physics”? The return to the "botapho" returning to the "botaphoi" Didi again became the favorite of the "torsides". He demonstrated the best examples of his game, and helped the club win the title of champion and years. After the victory at the World Cup, Didi said goodbye to the Brazilian national team and Botapogo, at that time he was almost 38 years old.
