He told me: ‘I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want’ and I said, ‘Give me the bad news.’ And he said: ‘You’re out of the World Cup.’ ‘to what he told me, ‘if it had been 2 cm to the side, you would not walk again’“, shares the Brazilian star, within the documentary, in a moving and very moving story.
