GIRONAElinilma Pereira and Eder Santos, a few years ago, could not afford to pay for a milking machine. The couple has a farm with cows and for a long time basically supported themselves on the food they produced at home. They were hard times. Of effort, of sacrifice. The one from a humble family that got up early and worked with their hands. He earned everything he had. It is the family of Sávio Moreira de Oliveira, Savinhoone of Girona’s sensations, who host Mallorca this Saturday (2 p.m., Movistar LaLiga).
The origin of Savinho comes from the indigenous peoples of Brazil. The family is from Duque de Caxias, a city that borders Rio de Janeiro, and he, as a child, grew up in one of its toughest neighborhoods, where many poor families live. “I saw children in a severe state of malnutrition, even with their intestines out. Hunger causes terrible diseases,” said Mauro Morelli, who was bishop of Duque de Caxias for 24 years.
Savinho was helping his family on the farm. He was disciplined, obedient and responsible. Little Savinho was milking the cows. You have to have skill to do it. Before that, you need to clean and stimulate the animal by taking care of it and giving it security so that the milk can come out. Experts say that the procedure must always be done at fixed times. Every day, at the same time, Savinho tied the legs and tails of the cows to hold them, washed his hands with soap and water, washed the utensils, milked the animals for five or seven minutes, untied them and kept the milk. He was a good minion. And yet, when he returns, he doesn’t hesitate to roll up his sleeves.
As has happened in other cases, the ball left him speechless. And if he had skills with his hands to take care of animals, he also had skills with his feet to take care of the ball. Atlético Mineiro snapped him up and Savinho’s life was never the same. According to a report from Life BoggerBrazilians from the footballer’s place of origin, with what they earn on average monthly, would take seventeen years of work to equal the annual salary the player had in Brazil.
Spotted at the Under-20 World Cup
Step by step, Savinho began to stand out in the lower categories until he was promoted to the first team and also to the selection of his country, where he was seen by Girona in the last U-20 World Cup, played in May, where the white-and-red club sent observers. Four months later, Montilivi is already seeing its great impact. The footballer, who at just 19 got married after the competition, already belonged to the City Football Group. Specifically, to the French Troyes, who have ceded him to Girona.
“In the one against one he is differential. He is very young and we have to be patient, but he can give us an important performance”, explained Quique Cárcel in the summer while the footballer was hallucinating. “It’s a dream to be here, really. I always wanted to play in La Liga.” In five days, he scored Girona’s first goal against Getafe, showed incredible superiority at Sanchez Pizjuán, where he just missed scoring, and confirmed his good adaptation to Granada, with goals and assists.
“Míchel asks me to have joy and personality,” details Savinho. The Madrid player, who wants him to play with the freedom he had on the streets as a child, is delighted with his new signing. “He has an enormous talent and we will enjoy it”, he confesses. In fact, in the corridors of the club they never get tired of commenting that “if Savinho’s game in Granada is played by a player from Barça or Madrid, it would open all the television programs”. They are not without reason.
In the meantime, the Brazilian, who is very Christian, isolates himself from the praise to continue gifting Girona fans, dazzled by the Brazilian’s imbalance and fantasy. By the way, on the family farm they also do shows rodeo. He is forbidden, of course. He leaves the shows for the pitch.
