Academic period
Socrates Brazzilero Oliveira
When Sugra was 18, her family moved to Pareto in Ribeiro, southern Brazil. In this city with a long football tradition, Socrates fell in love with football. Football became the only game in his spare time. Socrates took part in football training when he was a teenager. In Maris Middle School, Socrates, 14 years old, is the main force of the school football team. At the age of 0/5, Socrates joined the local Botafogo club team. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the medical department of the University of S? o Paulo with excellent results. During my college years 1974, I joined Baodi Branch in Sao Paulo and left the team. Socrates transferred to Corinth at 1976. He was gifted, humble and excellent at playing, and soon became the main player. He has made great contributions to the team many times and is deeply loved by coaches and teammates. Because he majored in medicine at the university, people used to call him Dr. Socrates or Dr. Because doctor and doctor are the same word. 1977 graduated from university with a bachelor's degree in medicine. His superb skills have also won many praises. Socrates won the first-class championship in S? o Paulo with Corinti's security team, which laid the foundation for his later football career. In the same year, he was selected as the national team and later served as the captain. From 65438 to 0978, Socrates completed his college studies, wrote an excellent graduation thesis, obtained a bachelor's degree in medicine, and officially became a doctor.
Football career
In this way, Socrates became a famous "three highs" star in Brazil: the highest, reaching 1.9 1 meter, with the highest education. People call him "Doctor of Football", and he is also the highest-paid football player in Brazil. Socrates, as a star, has outstanding skills, dexterity in controlling the ball, calmness on the spot, calmness, quick response and cunning action. He has played center, avant-garde and centre-back, and is a "generalist" on the court. He is good at kicking the ball with the heel, shooting suddenly, opening the bow from left to right with great strength and excellent heading, which is the core of the team's organizational attack. Don't look happy when you score, you are introverted. Socrates was a late bloomer and didn't become famous in international football until 1980s. However, his influence is not to become famous sooner or later, but to show the world that football players can also achieve impressive results in their studies and become an erudite scholar. The Little World Cup held in Uruguay from 65438 to 0980 was an important turning point for Brazil. With 1 ratio 1, the Argentine team led by Diego Diego Maradona was drawn, and the European champion West Germany was defeated with 4 1. After the Little World Cup, Brazil defeated Britain and Chile with 1-0, 3- 1 and 2- 1, creating an unbeaten record of 19 games. 198 1 year, French football magazine named Brazil as the best team in the world. All these achievements are inseparable from Socrates' efforts. Socrates is an eccentric in football. His height 1.9 1 m, weight 80 kg, short upper body, long legs and a "dancer" figure. His feet are too big, and it is very stupid to walk unsteadily. To this end, he also has a nickname called "Thin Fairy", which is the best summary of his appearance. Socrates and Zico were contemporaries, so his World Cup trip was also bleak. Although Brazil was recognized as the "strongest team" in the world football at that time, Socrates represented Brazil in the World Cup competitions of 12 and 13. Even Brazil was unlucky and was eliminated in the final of14. Although Socrates was rated as one of the top ten football stars in the world in 1982, he was still very depressed. Socrates made a blockbuster in the 12 World Cup. In the first game against the Soviet team, he made an outstanding performance. In the first half, Brazil played disorganized and was scored by the Soviet Union. At halftime, coach Santana, players Zico and junior had different opinions on what to play in the second half. Socrates didn't say a word, but he was the most calculating and confident. At the beginning of the second half, he transferred Phil Cao to the right of the frontcourt, withdrew to the midfield and attacked from the other side. This move really worked. Under the leadership of Socrates, the whole team cooperated tacitly and defended properly. In the 74th minute of the game, Socrates received a pass from his teammates on the right, crossed the opposing defender and decisively kicked the door 20 meters in the middle to equalize the score. The whole team pursued victory and finally defeated the Soviet team. This campaign is the best interpretation of Socrates' wisdom and courage, and the "doctor of football" deserves it. 1983, Socrates replaced Zico as the first star in America. In April 1984, 16, Socrates, who was keen on politics, gave a speech at a gathering of 200,000 people, advocating amending the constitution and directly electing the president, but his proposal was rejected.
Retirement preparation
Socrates' physical strength was exhausted on the court, but his love for medicine remained undiminished. 1984 wanted to go abroad to study medicine and lay the foundation for practicing medicine after retirement, so he signed a contract with Florence Club of Italy for two years. He played for the team, and the other party paid him $65,438 +0.6 million. He plays football while reading a book. 1987 when the contract expired, Socrates, 33, announced that he would hang up his boots and return to Brazil to start his career as a doctor. (But two years later, Socrates joined the Santos Club and caused a sensation in Brazil. It was not until 1990 that Socrates "completely" bid farewell to the stadium. )
Play again
1986 Socrates once again represented Brazil in the World Cup. He took off angels in white's costume, put on his jersey and appeared in the Mexican arena. He sat in the midfield and calmly organized the whole team to attack and defend. In the match against Spain, teammate careca shot hard and the ball bounced off the doorframe. Socrates sprinted and scored a beautiful header, which won the game for Brazil. In the second round, Brazil met Poland, a European powerhouse, and teammates created a penalty opportunity. Socrates took the penalty and went to the next city first, which greatly boosted morale. Josimar, a young player, scored two goals at a very small angle. Later, edinho took the penalty and the team finally beat Poland 4-0. But Lady Luck doesn't always smile at Socrates. 1/4 The final against France, both sides fought hard 120 minutes, 1 draw 1. Socrates first appeared in the penalty shootout, but his penalty was saved by French goalkeeper Bartz, and Brazil lost the chance to enter the semi-finals. He regretted it all his life. 1In August, 989, Socrates went to China with Santos and performed for China fans in big cities such as Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, which was warmly welcomed.
Retirement life
Socrates became a doctor wholeheartedly after retirement, saving lives. In his spare time, he often plays football, on the one hand, to keep fit, on the other hand, to relive his original glory. (His brother Rai is also a celebrity in football. Socrates doesn't like some strange phenomena in football now, and often criticizes that the current players play football for money, which has defiled the football game. He thinks that a real football match should be pure. He repeatedly criticized Brazilian Football Association officials for being corrupt and not enterprising.
