Garrincha – the "Angel with Crooked Legs" – #part 1
Known for his great skill and disconcerting dribbling, he is almost unanimously considered the most famous right winger and the best dribbler in the history of world soccer.
Despite having several congenital disabilities (strabismus, a pelvic imbalance, a centimeter difference in length between the legs; the right knee had valgus and the left varus), Garrincha was one of the leading players in Brazil's conquests of the 1958 FIFA World Cups and, mainly, in 1962, when, after Pelé's injury, he became the team's central and most decisive star.
Of the Brazilian team's 14 goals in the 1962 World Cup, six came through his feet (he scored four and assisted two goals). He became the first player in history to win the Ballon d'Or (best player of the tournament), the Golden Shoe (top scorer of the competition), and the World Cup trophy in the same edition. For these reasons, the 1962 World Cup is known in Brazil as "The Garrincha Cup."
Mané Garrincha overcame a legion of defenders and turned them all into simple John. He defied his body's deformity and immortalized himself as the "Angel with Crooked Legs."
The best player of the 1962 World Cup was the protagonist of dozens of fantastic and unusual stories and anecdotes; he was known for the innocence of his way of being, which contrasted with his extreme intelligence and sublime genius on the field. He, however, was not as naive as he was thought to be. The stories that portray him as a simple idiot contain doses of exaggeration and mysticism and corroborate the saying that every genius has a bit of madness.
"If there is a God who regulates football, this God is, above all, ironic, a faker. Garrincha was one of his delegates tasked with mocking everything and everyone in the stadiums. But, as he is also a cruel God, he took away from the stunning Garrincha the ability to perceive his condition as a divine agent. He was a poor little mortal who helped an entire country to sublimate its sorrows. The worst thing is that the sadness returns, and no other Garrincha is available. We need someone new to feed our dream."
In the next episodes of this series, we will learn in detail about the life trajectory of this beautiful star, one of the greatest of all time, who was immortalized in the World Soccer Hall of Fame.

This is not plagiarism. Factual information is included in this player's official biographies, and similar sentences are inevitable when citing facts. To detect plagiarism, you need a more effective method. When you read my complete text, you will notice that it is entirely my own, in its complete meaning and in the details of style and writing technique. I hope you remove this note and these downvotes, as they are completely unfair. Thanks.
Hello Pedro (@pedrocanella @dosh etc..)
Over 95% of the writing in this post is plagiarism. Direct copy-translation from personal thoughts written by different other authors in Portuguese. There may be some slight differences in wording likely due to automated translation or manual rewording.
Plagiarism could be considered fraud.

Some parts of the text were inspired by other texts, but if you look at the entire context and the construction of the entire argument, you will understand that in this sense my text is unique and original. Therefore, in my opinion, you are wrong in this assessment.
Everyone can clearly see that it is a word-for-word copy. There are slight wording differences due to auto-translation or the use of Portuguese synonyms. But these slight differences are only about 10% of that plagiarised writing.
First, you claimed that you are the author of all writing. When we replied showing evidence, you claimed that you "forgot" the sources.
Just because something is a biography that was written by someone else, does not mean that you have the right to steal it and pretend that you wrote it.
I see that you edited teh post providing our source.
So you are Ruy Castro then?
Are you sure that you Ruy Castro, not Taina?
To prove who you are please post a video on "your" (Taina - your ex-wife's niece ) TikTok saying that you are using Hive and your Hive handle is Mariana Emilia. As you have been claiming this identity and promoting Hive on your multiple Twitter and Instagram accounts using this identity, it should not be difficult and a problem to also do it on TikTok. https://www.tiktok.com/@soutainamaria
