VITOR BORBA FERREIRA. OR RIVALDO

Vitor Borba Ferreira, Or better known and loved by the footballing world as simply RIVALDO.
Rivaldo was born in a very ,very poor part of Paulista in BRAZIL. He was so poor and undernourished that the because of malnutration, it all can be very well be seen in his scanty hair and a few teeth that have fallen out. But these things did not affect his football attall. It was all there for him to show his bag of tricks, and they were many to enjoy.
After his BRAZIL club ,it was EUROPES turn to see and players fear.
First there was talk of him joining PARMA in ITALY, but instead he went to SPAIN and joined DEPORTA LA COURANA for a year.He then shifted to BARCELONA for sum of 26, million dollars.It was here that he shone winning the LA LIGA in two sucessive years and one COPA DEL REY trophy. His goals were just super. His free kicks just thundered in like a canon ball. And his bycicklekicks were a sight to see. At BARCELONA they made a saying it went like this. Seeing is believing ,and believing is seeing. His best goal in SPAIN was a glorious hat trick verses VALENCIA in the nintyth minute he completed the hat trick with a wonderful bycicle kick , with the refree to blow the whistle. The score stood at 3_2 in favour of BARCELONA, so taking BARCELONA to the U.E.F.A of 2001 season.
He fell out with the Dutch coach Lois Van Gaal, over his position Rivaldo wanted his playmaker post Van Gaal wanted him to be astriker. He left forA .C . MILAN ,there to he failed to settle down, did not agree with ANCHELOTTI and at one time was the costliest substitute. He then went to GREECE and first played for OLYPIKOS ,and then A. K. ATHENS.
He has always been accused for playing better for the club, then for the country, even at the olyympics.
He has played in two world cupsin 1998 and 2002,In both the world cups he scored goals as wellas provided the ball to RONALDOto score his goals.The 2002 world was marred for RIVALDO for his play acting.
RIVALDO was hit on the thigh gently by the TURKISH footballer HACKAN UNSAL, but RIVALDO fell to the ground holding his face.This ugly seen led to the Turk Hakan UnSAL to get his second yellow card foolowed by a red.The TURKISH coach was angry at the SOUTH KOREAN refree and said this to world cup press.
(TURKEY during the KOREAN war sent troops to fight along the AMERICANS and KOREANS as allays.But one stupid SOUTH KOREAN refree has heart us more then all the north Koreans put together.
Later F.I.F.A ,saw the video again and fined RIVALDO a sum of1,670 dollars,for bringing the game to ilrespute.
RIVALDOhas played 548 games , and scored a total of 248 goals and still going strong at thirtysix.
