Football popularity is popular all over the world and popular all over the world is known to earn huge salary when becoming professional athletes, people who poverty aim to become a professional football player to reverse life Sometimes it is. Mr. Carlos Keizer, a Brazilian who was a professional footballer, also chose football to escape from poverty and took full advantage of active living, but in reality he has little ability of soccer, and he only has one stroker in his 20 years of life as a striker I am a legend owning not goal.

Kaiser started his career as a soccer player with a youth team of Botafogo FR of Brazil at the age of ten and then played with CR Flamengo's youth team until 16 years old. Physical potential demonstrated in the youth league caught the eye of the scout and joined Puebla FC in Mexico in 1979 and start a career as a professional soccer player, but since the soccer ability in the first place was not high in the first place, 1 I will leave the game after a few months without participating in the game.


Kaiser continued playing with a prestigious team such as CR Flamengo, Fluminensese FC, CR Vasco da Gama after leaving Puebla FC, and also transferred to GFC Ajaccio belonging to the French Second division league, such as early 1990 's I played as a professional football player. However, it was a short-term contract of three to six months that he was connected with many teams enrolled by Mr. Keizer, and almost all the clubs leave without extending their contracts and are transferred to other teams. According to Atlas Obscura, IT related media, the number of goals cited by striker Kaiser through professional athletic life is only "1".

Kaiser said in 2011Interview done"As with other football players, I am from a poor house, but I wanted to succeed and earn money, so I will support my family, which is the best way to get a lot of money "I wanted to be a soccer player without playing soccer," he said honestly that he did not feel like playing soccer in the first place.

So why was Keiser continued to be a professional football player without playing soccer, there were several factors such as Mr. Keizer 's friends, then technology, medicine, journalists of the time.

After leaving Mexico's Puebla FC in 1979, Mr. Keizer will return to Brazil and will decide again to find a workforce as a soccer player. At that time it became a big force, famous players such as Romario, Roberto Carlos, Renato Gaucho. Kaiser said that by deepening friendship with such famous athletes, the players were forced to recommend to the coaches of the team.

Now the scout manager of the team decides whether to contract with reference to the past play video, but at that time there was no decision to look at the picture. This worked favorably for Mr. Keizer and the scouts of the team seems to have made a contract with truly receiving advice from famous athletes. The thing that comes to mind here is that "Even if you cheat abilities and join, you will soon get out?"

However, Mr. Kaizer is included in the content of the contract "to practice for adjustment purposes for a few weeks after joining because the physical condition is not perfect", avoiding a low ability. After that, I participate in the practice of the team, but I also avoid it due to injury during practice again. It is doubtful whether the sickness goes round about the coach of a professional club team but I heard that it was impossible for a specialist doctor to judge whether Mr. Keizer was really injured in the medical technology at the time. Mr. Kaiser 's routine hand was to spend several months as a team in the state of injuring, and to end the contract period.

In addition, Mr. Keizer was using journalists to make people publicize how good they are as soccer players and to help them find employment for themselves. Kaiser approached a soccer journalist and asked them to write articles that focused on me, instead of handling club uniforms and souvenirs. This act is just a bribe, but at that time some journalists wrote a cookie article saying, "The Mexican government liked Mr. Keizer and applied for citizenship to be a Mexican delegate" It seemed to me.

Furthermore, in order to appeal to the team that he is famous worldwide and high ability, I bought a mobile phone that I just owned at the time and got a status and asked " We responded to the phone call for the transfer of "to the teammates and the staff in front of the staff. Although the staff who can not speak English who heard this exchange may have felt "It is a very popular player", Ronald Torres of the fitness coach belonging to Botafogo FR said, "He is always in front of everyone I was pretending to speak English but I was speaking English was wrong .. I was pretending he was talking on the cell phone and I was calling anyone I also noticed that there was nothing. "

Mr. Keizer has joined the team called GFC Ajaccio who belonged to the French divisional league in his career. When Mr. Kaiser signed a contract, "The Brazilian national player came to the team in the French divisional league!" And the team is excited greatly, the team will show Kaiser's play to the fans who expect and expect public practice I will.

Mr. Keizer, who had to do something he did not want to play football in front of a crowd, decided to pull out a tremendous secret measure. That was to kick all the balls on the ground, called fanservice, to the audience seat and finally kiss the uniform emblem to appeal to the team's loyalty.

The fans who came to see the public practice for this performance were very excited. Moreover, since the ball has disappeared from the practice range, the team changed the schedule from practicing using balls to physical fitness training as expected by Mr. Kaiser. It seems that Kaiser 's ability is kept secret and public practice is over. And as always, Mr. Keizer was leaving GFC Ajaccio with contract expiration in a few months without going ahead once.

After GFC Ajaccio's departure, Mr. Keizer went over several teams with the help of soccer players and journalists and retired in the early 1990s. Mr. Kaizer said, "I do not regret at all, the club team is cheating a lot of players, someone had to reimburse," he said.
