Garrincha, formerly known as Manuel Frances (nicknamed Garrincha, or "Little Bird"), is a Brazilian football player who plays on the wing. He has represented Brazil in three World Cups, and made great contributions to winning two championships: 1958 and 1962. He is regarded as the greatest player in Brazil, on a par with Pele. This genius is described as "the most unprofessional player in the history of professional football". Garrincha hardly takes part in systematic training, has no agent, and rarely reads the contract carefully (because he can't understand it). He drinks all night and never pays attention to his health. Playing football depends only on his innate talent.

Garrincha's later club career was not very good. During the three years from 1963 to 1965, he only played eight games in Botafogo, and his binge drinking and round-the-clock sex with women almost ruined him. To this end, he often angered the club and had to change clubs frequently. From 1966 to 1969, he changed three teams, Corinti Ann, Barranquilla and Flamengo, but they didn't stay long. 1972, after playing 10 games for Rio Olalla, Garrincha quit football, then came back and quit again and again until 1982. 1983 65438+1On October 20th, Garrincha, who suffered from alcoholism, died suddenly at the age of 49.
