RIO de JANEIRO<\/strong>\u00a0– His eyes have the sparkle of a child\u2019s and he gives off the enthusiasm of someone who has just kicked a ball for the very first time. He runs towards us when he sees us coming, dressing in Inter colours from head to toe. His white hair stands out against his tanned skin. He\u2019s slender, with just a bit of a belly. He used to play for\u00a0Vasco da Gama<\/a>, the historic team from Rio de Janeiro, and he\u2019s been called\u00a0Campe\u00e3o<\/em>\u00a0(champion) ever since.<\/p>\n

Maybe 50 years have passed, but his passion for the sport hasn\u2019t gone anywhere. \u201cFrom my very first day with Inter Campus, I\u2019ve coached generations of kids as if they were my own grandchildren,\u201d he says, \u201cbecoming a reference point in each of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here for our usual training, but it only takes a few seconds to realise that we\u2019ll be the ones learning something today. We put the manuals away and just watch his training session: not the most orthodox in the world, but full of joy nonetheless. He turns his eyes to us full of pride, excited to show that he\u2019s still in great shape. The pitch is filled with about thirty young children, who otherwise would have found themselves on the street. They play without any ambition, for the fun alone. Yet there\u2019s an order to things, respect, hard work: it\u2019s\u00a0Campe\u00e3o<\/em>\u00a0who dictates the rules.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know how his nickname came about, but judging from the spirit he shows, we could take a pretty good guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
