"When
we scored the 2-1 ... the silence ... they weighed, Ghiggia progressed,
I
warned the cross where three executioners were drooling, waiting for
the ball ... Bigode chasing Ghiggia, Juvenal tried to cover him, was
going to meet Ghiggia, but in the area are only them, our no defense if
crosses no way, is sure to score, I'm just waiting for the center
Ghiggia, I step forward, because surely make the same move that in
the first goal, he feels crestfallen'm out but ran like a Miura bull
shoots the instep in the ball on the play and I think I've sent a
corner, but
it was like a vacilón kick, the ball lands in the grass,
up and down, then I made a side step and a jump to my left with all
possible momentum ... when I felt the stadium in silence I plucked up
courage, I looked back and saw the brown leather ball there. .. ".The narrative is Barbosa, the Brazilian team of 1950, who lost against Uruguay World in Rio. However, he was elected the best goalkeeper of the tournament. It is the most dramatic play of the game. That Barbosa made a victim. Just
for that goal, a man suffered the rest of his life, by a single goal,
racism disguised as Brazil came to the fore-the same prejudice that
discriminate against the black porter in a barber shop in Porto Alegre. Everything is in the book "Barbosa: a goal that turns fifty" by Roberto Muylaert.Moacir
Barbosa Nascimento was Campinas, São Paulo State, born March 27,
1921.
There he made the primary course at a school that also learned
carpentry. But
football-with its own arbitrator, and uniform-field marked only met him
in the capital, playing right end into the Admiral Club Tamandaré, the
São Paulo neighborhood of Liberdade team. That is until, to become the cock-as they say-among connoisseurs,
Barbosa change the attack to the goal one day when confronted another
minnows Tamandaré in Vila Maria.And in goal, with 1.76 m, adapted ("I have not run it," he said) and progressed. In 1940, washed crystals Paulista Laboratório de Biologia while closed bow equipment company. That year, he married Clotilde. Thinking about race, studied pharmaceutical chemistry. But
the Ipiranga Sao Paulo saw him play and hired him, making him the idol
of a team that also had to Rodrigues (in the future Brazilian
international also) happened backwards from the goal to the left corner.
In 1943, a prominent Ipiranga in the competition, Moacir Barbosa was already one of the best archers São Paulo. It was when Domingos da Guia, the Corinthians, saw him come out of his goal with quiet, elegant, rapid elasticity and cat. So what the famous defense advised his Vasco da Gama Rio, would buy your pass in 1944.In his first year in Vasco Barbosa played only two matches since contesting the six doormen more. However, in 1945, was the owner and carioca undefeated champion. Even
win state titles 1947, 1949, 1950 and 1952. Additionally, with your
back to Vasco, the 1956 and 1958-in addition to the Rio-São Paulo
tournament that year. And it was several times winner with the selection of Rio de Janeiro.In 1945, he was summoned to the Seleção against Argentina and premiered in São Paulo, where the goalkeeper Oberdan was king. From then until 1953, Barbosa was on target 35 times Brazil. And he won the South American country for 1949 and the Rock and Rio Branco glasses. Not to mention countless international trophies won by the Basque, who at the time was called the "Expresso da Vitória".Thanks to his trips abroad, the gracious and polite Moacir had a curious fact. In
Mexico, with a hint, tip an opponent made a move and seeing the ball go
into their networks, gave a nice Chilean, "at the time the ball had
made the last effort to cross the line, and sent to the corner ".But he was not respected by the physical pain. The
victim unforgettable goalkeeper who treated everyone with courtesy and
was never even won the field-fair play trophy-Belfort Duarte, broke his
leg in 1953, due to a violent and useless player Botafogo. So, according to Barbosa, himself was not at the World Cup in Switzerland, where Germany beat Hungary's favorite in the final. A long time with the cast, and São Januário Barbosa began to forget and made him a mere book, when recovered by the end of 1954.In 1955, Porter went to the city of Recife. And there he found, in the twilight of their careers, former football stars of Rio: in his Santa Cruz, Marinho, ex-Flu; Alviverde in America (now extinct), Dimas, ex-Vasco; in Sport, the former half of the Basque, Eli do Amparo and former Botafogo goalkeeper Osvaldo Beacon. However, in July 1956, the Brazilian Northeast misfit, Barbosa would
be surrendered to Vasco da Gama, the club of his most lasting and
irremediable passions.Again
was champion that year Superchampionship Carioca 1958. Both the crack
era only ended in 1962 in São Januário. At 41, took off his shirt to the
Maltese cross to go through the club Bonsucesso. And he fired the ball into the modest Campo Grande, July 8, against Madureira. In that game, stretching to stop a shot, Barbosa was injured. In
the hammock, applauded by 670 people, writhing in pain-femoral lesion
similar to a month earlier, had suffered Pele in the World Cup in Chile.
While
in the little suburban stadium, became a silence-for another reason-it
was so sad as the fateful July 16, 1950, at the Maracana. It was the silence of the people revere a man-fledged, world runner-up football. For history, it was not. But for old goalie was all.Anonymous and unemployed in 1963, Barbosa heard that management would change Maracana Stadium goalposts. And that's where the Uruguayan Ghiggia made the goal of his sin will be donated. Accepted
and once in possession of the symbol of his own misfortune, a barbecue
and surrounded by friends, former goalkeeper set fire to pieces of wood
from the goal for roasting meat. Then I still had to explain if both Ghiggia was sung or not-awesome. In
1996, on the death of his wife Clotilde and financially ruined by the
cost to save her, Moacir Barbosa left Rio, the former capital of the
country that made him unjust villain. He moved to Ocian Cidade in São Paulo coast, where renting a one bedroom apartment and living his life to end.The April 7, 2000, in the simple coffin, his hands folded - who in life never knew the gloves - he discovered eleven fractures. And among the few present at the wake, nobody knew that the body was inert black victim of a fatal shot. And that was the first Brazilian keeper to pull them out of goal. And perhaps the last to use knee pads.
