The Star That The World Didn't See. Version - English.

A modest famlily's players who used to live in small and sleepy town in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. his name was Gustavo and he was known as "Shape Feet".

So much talented with the ball in the feet, he already used to acclaim the people of all the ages.

He used to fill the bleachers of the village where he lived. Then, he aroused interest of a great team of São Paulo state. A foreman stayed admired and enchanted about the way that the boy drived the ball in his feet. Disconcerting dribbles in sequencing and his example speed. Was the telent that the world expected. The people started the call him as "The New Garrincha".

The boy catch his stuffs and move to join to the base cast of a big team of the capital of São Paulo. He knew the group and started the relationships with his partners of field. He also started to know the other side: he started to have a wild times into the night and walk with bad companies who have nothing with the sport. For came from a small city, the boy was naive and started to fall in a sinful way and also fall insede the fields. He was not the same boy. Started, so, to lack the trainings and the college classes. Started, so, to lost himself in the strait and cruel ways of life. A frivolity's victim.

He disappeared and came back a few days later. The people of the club started the pay a psychologist, but it didn't work. He didn't get better, but worst.

Was late, the single way to run from the drugs is not see its face. He saw, poor mortal. Fall into the claws not of the keapper, but of the crack. It was for he be the prodigy star of the team and the world, but he let the his emotional imbalance and lack of familiar structure affect his unethical mind. He followed like sheep.

He saw the success pass like a lightning and the people no more believe him. So, he started to fall in the obscure and happended the probable: he impregnated a girl. Without money and support, started to rob. Fall into the criminality. Like he was enter in the field, he wore the shirt. Made so much stealings to change for drugs. Started to inject strange quimical things in his body. Started to feel the adrenalin. Transpired whithout running. Trembled without being in a final match of the championship. Started to see people out of the field not because left a second yellor card or a red card, but because the life judge granted the final judgement.

This way killed a thousand in sequence. He would be part of the no solution sequence.

So, one day, below a viaduct, slim, anemic, pale, injected the drug in his body. but just one dose was not enough to accalm the systematical addicted. He turned to inject another dose and started to have seizures. started to see the world views in flashes. In a beater, started to have a cardio-respiratory attack and went away.

Went away, then, the lightning start. The newest promise that no one saw. The life teached for who knew him that story: A player that took a foul in the life's middle field e no more got up. A pothole that became inevitable.

The start that the world didn't see.
