Flamengo midfielder from 2006 to 2007, former player Paulinho gave an interview to GE and told unusual stories from Mengão's time. The former athlete revealed that when he arrived at Fla, the club provided transportation and housing until the professional organized himself in the city. However, after a month, it was up to the player, who suffered during this period.
Paulinho confessed that he was waiting for right-back Léo Moura to give him a lift, as Léo lived close to the hotel where he lived: “Léo Moura always gave me a ride because he lived close to the hotel. One day I sat on the curb of the condominium where he lived. I sat in a corner waiting for him to pass so we could go to training”, he began by saying.
However, Paulinho revealed that he was questioned by the security guard at Léo's building: “Then the security guard asked me: 'What's wrong? what are you doing there, boy?' I replied that I was waiting for Léo Moura to go to training. He didn’t think I was a player,” he joked.
“I was embarrassed to ask for a ride one day and called a taxi there in Gávea, but I only had R$20. So I followed the meter. from him. He was looking and giving R$1.90, R$2.50, R$4.50, R$5.50, R$10.50. When it came to R$19.50, I said: you can stop the car and I'll stay right here. I had to finish the route on foot. I walked about five kilometers to get to my hotel in Barra da Tijuca”, he concluded.
Currently, Paulinho, Carioca champion with Flamengo in 2007, returned to live in the interior of Minas Gerais and is an employee of a company measuring electrical energy.
