If it’s not true, it’s well invented

"When I was 14 years old, I asked my mom for a football but she said, 'No Marcelinho, we can't afford that.'

So I went to the store and asked the owner, 'can

you sell me a football? I'll repay when I become a professional football player!'

He started laughing and said, 'Hell yes Marcelo, just remember to pay.'

Several years later, I decided to go back to the store and get all the balls I can to give to the poor kids in my neighborhood."
