3
00:03:04,475 --> 00:03:07,020
They say
that those who go to Rio...
4
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:10,106
do so because they are
attracted by the bright lights.
5
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:13,568
It is the city of opportunity...
6
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:18,448
a chance to escape the poverty
and hardship of rural Brazil.
7
00:03:18,448 --> 00:03:20,867
Hope for a better life.
8
00:03:21,784 --> 00:03:23,786
But to make it in this city...
9
00:03:23,786 --> 00:03:26,372
you need to have something
other than just hope.
10
00:03:29,834 --> 00:03:31,377
This is Carlos Henrique Raposo
11
00:03:32,462 --> 00:03:34,255
But no one calls him by that name.
12
00:03:36,007 --> 00:03:38,718
He is known to all as Kaiser.
13
00:03:40,261 --> 00:03:43,681
Kaiser, the German word for emperor.
14
00:03:43,681 --> 00:03:46,184
Derived from the Roman ruler,
Julius Caesar.
15
00:03:47,852 --> 00:03:52,774
Kaiser, like Caesar, is a man
who does not rely on hope...
16
00:03:53,816 --> 00:03:57,362
and like the man who bore
his title before him...
17
00:03:57,362 --> 00:04:00,573
this Kaiser also created an empire,
18
00:04:00,573 --> 00:04:04,786
a world where he was at the
centre, pulling the strings.
19
00:04:10,541 --> 00:04:13,711
At least, that's his version of it.
20
00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:16,589
There are many, many others.
21
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:21,886
To understand Kaiser's story,
one thing needs to be made
22
00:04:21,886 --> 00:04:23,930
absolutely clear.
23
00:04:28,476 --> 00:04:33,439
Brazil loves football and
football loves Brazil.
24
00:04:48,746 --> 00:04:53,459
Brazil is an
inexhaustible factory of amazing talent.
25
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,844
Over the
years, Brazil has won
26
00:05:02,844 --> 00:05:04,721
All there is to win
27
00:05:04,721 --> 00:05:08,057
And we have done it in style.
Brazilian style.
28
00:05:11,436 --> 00:05:12,562
Brazilian football is
like an art-form.
29
00:05:12,562 --> 00:05:14,522
It's technically fantastic.
30
00:05:15,356 --> 00:05:19,902
The creativity and skill of
Brazilian players is indisputable.
31
00:05:21,195 --> 00:05:24,032
Brazil may
not have invented football...
32
00:05:24,032 --> 00:05:26,117
but we certainly added Ginga to it.
33
00:05:26,951 --> 00:05:30,455
Ginga, an indefinable,
almost mystical quality
34
00:05:30,455 --> 00:05:33,541
of movement and attitude
possessed by Brazilians.
35
00:05:33,541 --> 00:05:37,420
It is there in the way
we walk, talk, dance...
36
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:40,423
and yes, in the way we play football.
37
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:47,472
So, it naturally follows
that those who add Ginga...
38
00:05:47,472 --> 00:05:49,724
to what is effectively a national treasure...
39
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:52,894
are loved and worshiped by millions...
40
00:05:52,894 --> 00:05:55,521
and can get just about anything they want.
41
00:05:57,899 --> 00:06:01,861
The high life, 1980s and 1990s Rio...
42
00:06:01,861 --> 00:06:04,822
was the realm of the superstar footballer.
43
00:06:04,822 --> 00:06:07,450
And in this city, superstar footballers
44
00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:10,828
play for one of Rio's
top four football clubs.
45
00:06:10,828 --> 00:06:14,415
But if a footballer ever
played for all top four clubs,
46
00:06:14,457 --> 00:06:17,418
well, he would be able to have it all.
47
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:23,424
The first time I saw Kaiser,
he was crossing the street…
48
00:06:24,634 --> 00:06:27,095
with such swagger that I thought…
49
00:06:27,095 --> 00:06:32,183
"That guy must be one of the best
footballers in the world."
50
00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:36,729
Kaiser is one of the most
iconic characters in world football.
51
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:40,525
Kaiser was cool, in
every sense of the word.
52
00:06:40,525 --> 00:06:43,277
It was his
lingo and vernacular…
53
00:06:43,277 --> 00:06:46,489
the way he walked, the way he dressed.
54
00:06:46,489 --> 00:06:50,368
He pranced around in swimming
trunks flicking his long hair around.
55
00:06:50,368 --> 00:06:51,702
He had that kind of hair…
56
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,580
And sunglasses.
57
00:06:56,082 --> 00:06:58,084
Those massive sunglasses.
58
00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:02,380
He would even rock a bum-bag which
is now completely dated.
59
00:07:04,298 --> 00:07:06,634
In my mind, he was a footballer.
60
00:07:18,896 --> 00:07:20,982
Now, a story
about a football player
61
00:07:20,982 --> 00:07:24,193
who was popular and looked
good in tight swimming trunks
62
00:07:24,193 --> 00:07:26,112
would be nothing special
63
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:29,407
and it would be a relatively short tale.
64
00:07:30,575 --> 00:07:35,037
Kaiser's story is about
much, much more than that.
65
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:39,792
I think he's the only
person on the planet...
66
00:07:40,918 --> 00:07:43,754
who for 26 years...
67
00:07:43,754 --> 00:07:45,923
played football without putting
on a pair of boots.
68
00:07:46,799 --> 00:07:48,551
I don't think he ever went on a pitch.
69
00:07:49,635 --> 00:07:51,387
He signed contracts with many clubs…
70
00:07:52,096 --> 00:07:55,433
but he didn't touch the ball. He didn't
even know the ball was round.
71
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:58,352
He was a professional conman.
72
00:08:05,193 --> 00:08:07,612
I took part in this documentary
to tell the truth.
73
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,869
In Brazil, footballers have
always been fawned over.
74
00:08:14,911 --> 00:08:19,499
People in the football world have
always been idolised and seen as special.
75
00:08:19,874 --> 00:08:24,045
That's why my nickname is Kaiser.
My real name is Carlos Henrique Raposo…
76
00:08:24,045 --> 00:08:24,086
Kaiser was given to me because other players
compared me to Beckenbauer.
77
00:08:24,086 --> 00:08:29,133
Kaiser was given to me because other players
compared me to Beckenbauer.
78
00:08:29,133 --> 00:08:34,305
Kaiser, the king of German football,
the Pele of German football.
79
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:40,228
They, not me, thought the way
I played was similar to Beckenbauer.
80
00:08:40,269 --> 00:08:45,566
I didn't give myself the Kaiser mantle.
The Kaiser title.
81
00:08:46,567 --> 00:08:51,197
They made it up for me
because I had something.
82
00:08:55,117 --> 00:08:57,537
He was always chubby,
always chubby.
83
00:08:58,287 --> 00:09:00,790
Back then there was a beer called Kaiser.
84
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:04,335
It was kind of a thick round bottle…
85
00:09:04,335 --> 00:09:06,587
and people would ask "Why Kaiser?"
86
00:09:06,587 --> 00:09:08,923
"It's because he looks like
the Kaiser bottle."
87
00:09:08,923 --> 00:09:11,008
Then the Kaiser nickname ended up sticking…
88
00:09:11,008 --> 00:09:12,635
that was the story.
89
00:09:12,635 --> 00:09:15,930
This is the story of
an anti-footballer.
90
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:19,141
I want you to use that phrase.
Anti-footballer.
91
00:09:19,141 --> 00:09:23,229
I didn't play. I didn't score.
I didn't kick a ball.
92
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:27,984
It's not the story of the star player,
of the guy who did everything.
93
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:31,153
It's the story of an anti-footballer.
94
00:09:31,195 --> 00:09:34,865
He's been in loads of clubs. I think
Kaiser's been all over the world.
95
00:09:35,992 --> 00:09:38,160
Not just Brazil but the whole world.
96
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,662
I'm sure of that.
97
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:48,170
Kaiser was
here there and everywhere...
98
00:09:48,170 --> 00:09:51,048
including Rio's top four clubs.
99
00:09:51,215 --> 00:09:52,800
He played for Flamengo...
100
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,552
The biggest club in Brazil...
101
00:09:54,552 --> 00:09:57,096
with over 40 million fans.
102
00:09:57,096 --> 00:09:59,307
The list of great players includes Zico,
103
00:09:59,307 --> 00:10:01,601
Romario, and Bebeto.
104
00:10:04,353 --> 00:10:07,023
I met him in person
when he approached me...
105
00:10:07,023 --> 00:10:09,900
He introduced himself as a footballer...
106
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,737
and said that he'd played for
several clubs in Europe.
107
00:10:12,737 --> 00:10:18,534
He wanted a chance to show
his value as a player.
108
00:10:20,202 --> 00:10:22,121
He played for Vasco.
109
00:10:23,956 --> 00:10:26,584
One of the most
iconic clubs in world football,
110
00:10:26,584 --> 00:10:29,545
named after the famous
Portuguese explorer.
111
00:10:30,379 --> 00:10:33,174
Sometimes he would
spend three months at one club...
112
00:10:33,215 --> 00:10:36,052
four months at another, five
months somewhere else.
113
00:10:36,052 --> 00:10:39,680
In the same year he would
be at three or four clubs.
114
00:10:41,265 --> 00:10:43,225
I was at Fluminense twice.
115
00:10:44,101 --> 00:10:46,395
Flamengo's traditional rival.
116
00:10:46,395 --> 00:10:48,689
their derby matches are among
the most intense in...
117
00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:50,441
South American football.
118
00:10:51,025 --> 00:10:54,111
He managed to train
with the Fluminense first team…
119
00:10:54,153 --> 00:10:59,033
but nobody managed to see him
train with the ball itself.
120
00:11:00,576 --> 00:11:04,121
I was at Botafogo two or three times.
121
00:11:05,247 --> 00:11:07,917
The last of Rio's big four.
122
00:11:07,917 --> 00:11:10,086
Botafogo has produced more
Brazilian internationals...
123
00:11:10,086 --> 00:11:11,921
than any other club.
124
00:11:12,004 --> 00:11:16,175
He would come with newspapers...
125
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:20,680
and ID cards of clubs he'd been at.
126
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:25,601
He actually managed to get
into professional teams…
127
00:11:25,601 --> 00:11:29,146
that's the most incredible thing
about his whole story.
128
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:31,524
As well as the big clubs...
129
00:11:31,607 --> 00:11:35,277
Kaiser also played for the
smaller Rio teams.
130
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:38,989
I had three stints at
America FC, two at Bangu.
131
00:11:41,283 --> 00:11:42,368
But Kaiser's career
132
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:44,036
really took off internationally.
133
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:47,915
I spent three years at
Puebla having them on.
134
00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:49,917
It wasn't like El Paso.
135
00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:51,419
El Paso was horrible.
136
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:56,549
At the time we didn't
have access to the information...
137
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:58,884
we have today in our globalized world...
138
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:01,137
with Google and the internet.
139
00:12:01,220 --> 00:12:04,598
So I'm watching the TV:
"The new signing, Kaiser."
140
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:07,143
And everyone fell for it.
141
00:12:07,143 --> 00:12:09,520
"I can't believe he's at another club."
142
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,483
He had some offer
from Arabia, from France or Japan.
143
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:16,902
He would vanish, disappear.
144
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:18,195
He had a photo of
Paris Saint-Germain.
145
00:12:18,195 --> 00:12:19,739
He'd trained at Paris Saint-Germain.
146
00:12:19,822 --> 00:12:22,992
Independiente in Argentina.
147
00:12:23,117 --> 00:12:26,120
He said he became world club champion…
148
00:12:26,203 --> 00:12:28,456
in a final against Barcelona.
149
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:33,794
Then after about six months
Kaiser would come back.
150
00:12:36,213 --> 00:12:37,840
Kaiser's roster of clubs
151
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,009
is a list that any average player
152
00:12:40,009 --> 00:12:41,677
would die for.
153
00:12:41,677 --> 00:12:44,764
but Kaiser was not your average player.
154
00:12:45,723 --> 00:12:48,225
Kaiser was crap at football.
155
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:50,019
That's the conclusion we came to.
156
00:12:51,061 --> 00:12:52,813
He couldn't play for his life.
157
00:12:52,813 --> 00:12:54,523
He only had one problem.
The ball.
158
00:12:56,066 --> 00:12:59,069
He was good at everything but
the ball was his weakness.
159
00:13:00,946 --> 00:13:02,448
The ball wasn't his thing.
160
00:13:03,699 --> 00:13:04,617
Coconuts were.
161
00:13:05,534 --> 00:13:08,078
He was good with coconuts, not balls.
162
00:13:11,999 --> 00:13:15,002
In Brazil,
people who are not very good
163
00:13:15,002 --> 00:13:17,838
at football, won't even get
into a kick-about on a beach,
164
00:13:17,838 --> 00:13:19,173
let alone sign contracts...
165
00:13:19,173 --> 00:13:21,342
with some of the biggest
clubs in the world.
166
00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:24,845
Yet despite his lack of talent...
167
00:13:26,222 --> 00:13:27,973
Kaiser managed to do just that.
168
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:29,767
But how?
169
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:36,732
He turned up on a day...
170
00:13:36,732 --> 00:13:41,612
where the training sessions
was based around fitness.
171
00:13:41,612 --> 00:13:44,031
And he displayed an incredible vigour.
172
00:13:45,449 --> 00:13:48,244
What I had was physical fitness,
but it wasn't enough.
173
00:13:48,244 --> 00:13:50,496
You had to be skilful. Very skilful.
174
00:13:53,749 --> 00:13:55,543
We usually started
off with fitness...
175
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:59,380
and finished training with the ball.
176
00:14:00,381 --> 00:14:02,466
He was wherever
the ball wasn't.
177
00:14:02,466 --> 00:14:04,385
If the ball was on
the right, he'd be on the left.
178
00:14:04,385 --> 00:14:06,303
If the ball was on the left,
he'd be on the right.
179
00:14:06,303 --> 00:14:10,558
If the ball was in the middle, he'd be in defence.
The ball was in defence, he'd be in attack.
180
00:14:13,477 --> 00:14:17,064
We'd play piggy in the middle
with Kaiser as the piggy...
181
00:14:17,064 --> 00:14:18,941
and he'd have serious trouble.
182
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:25,573
Kaiser would run from one side to the other…
183
00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:28,284
and we'd just say "Get out Kaiser
or we'll end up killing you."
184
00:14:28,284 --> 00:14:32,037
Kaiser was dying. Sweating loads.
185
00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:34,540
He was wrecked before
training even started!
186
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:38,419
I knew immediately that
he didn't possess...
187
00:14:38,419 --> 00:14:42,256
all the qualities that
he claimed to have.
188
00:14:44,133 --> 00:14:48,846
He knew that he wasn't a footballer
and that he never wanted to play.
189
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:51,807
It's like a doctor who's scared of blood,
190
00:14:51,807 --> 00:14:54,226
wanting to be a doctor.
191
00:14:55,811 --> 00:14:59,440
After the game I'd tell him:
"Kaiser you never touch the ball."
192
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,067
He said "Ricardo, I have a
unique style of play."
193
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:03,736
He was a cheeky bastard too.
194
00:15:08,365 --> 00:15:10,326
Clearly, Kaiser wasn't in it...
195
00:15:10,326 --> 00:15:11,744
for the footballing glory.
196
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:14,455
So, what was his goal?
197
00:15:16,081 --> 00:15:18,542
I would sign a contract
then take the cash advance...
198
00:15:18,542 --> 00:15:22,838
so it didn't matter if
the salary came in or not.
199
00:15:23,422 --> 00:15:28,093
I'm not one of those players who
sees out his three-year contract.
200
00:15:28,093 --> 00:15:30,638
The idea was to get out
as quickly as possible.
201
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:34,141
He was always faking something.
202
00:15:34,141 --> 00:15:37,978
His whole injury charade was amazing.
203
00:15:45,819 --> 00:15:50,074
After two sprints
he felt something...
204
00:15:50,074 --> 00:15:51,408
He put his hand on his leg...
205
00:15:51,408 --> 00:15:53,285
and he asked to come off.
206
00:15:53,285 --> 00:15:55,079
He was always faking.
207
00:15:55,079 --> 00:15:59,375
Injured ankle, injured thigh,
he'd snapped a tendon.
208
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:04,880
There were no MRI scans
back then so I faked being injured.
209
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,758
He would sign for a club and stay
with the physio for three months.
210
00:16:08,676 --> 00:16:10,511
Then he would get injured again.
211
00:16:13,097 --> 00:16:15,849
Centre-forwards have
to score or at least assist goals
212
00:16:15,849 --> 00:16:20,938
But, it's easier to hide from the
game as a centre-forward.
213
00:16:22,606 --> 00:16:24,817
I think that's why he played there.
214
00:16:28,696 --> 00:16:32,449
If I had to symbolically kill my grandma
to not play, I would kill her.
215
00:16:32,449 --> 00:16:36,495
I would get a phone call saying my grandma
had died. I would do that not to play.
216
00:16:37,204 --> 00:16:38,205
I didn't want to play.
217
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:45,254
We were in the dressing room
getting changed…
218
00:16:45,254 --> 00:16:48,841
and he put his hand in his bag and
there was a 'brrrrr'
219
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:51,677
There was a cell phone noise.
220
00:16:51,677 --> 00:16:54,138
Then he takes out a big brick
thing that opens like this...
221
00:16:54,888 --> 00:16:55,889
"Hello"
222
00:16:56,056 --> 00:16:58,267
He was like "I'm just talking with
the people over in France..."
223
00:16:58,267 --> 00:17:01,145
"sorting out my contract."
224
00:17:01,145 --> 00:17:03,564
He used to mix English with French…
225
00:17:03,564 --> 00:17:04,982
'Tres bien, Tres bien. Et vous?"
226
00:17:04,982 --> 00:17:08,610
He would pretend he was talking
to the Barcelona President.
227
00:17:08,610 --> 00:17:11,780
"One moment. One moment please.
Tres bien, tres bien."
228
00:17:11,780 --> 00:17:16,368
So, when he leaves,
Nelson pulls it out...
229
00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:18,245
It's a toy cell phone.
230
00:17:26,754 --> 00:17:33,677
If you tell your friends any of this,
they won't believe it.
231
00:17:33,677 --> 00:17:37,598
Everywhere he went there would be somebody
to have a word with the coach...
232
00:17:37,598 --> 00:17:39,600
so he could have a chance to train.
233
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,854
It was me who had a word with Carlos Alberto Torres
"Professor, let Kaiser train."
234
00:17:43,854 --> 00:17:48,650
Other people too. I think he always
had somebody who could help him out...
235
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:54,031
but he knew he didn't have what it takes
to be a professional footballer.
236
00:17:54,948 --> 00:17:57,659
When they say: "Kaiser wasn't a good player."
237
00:17:57,659 --> 00:17:59,787
Kaiser wasn't a good player because...
238
00:17:59,787 --> 00:18:03,123
They're comparing me to the players
I hung around with.
239
00:18:03,123 --> 00:18:06,835
If it was with today's generation, I'd be a star player.
240
00:18:06,835 --> 00:18:07,544
You understand?
241
00:18:13,717 --> 00:18:16,512
The players Kaiser
claims he hung around with
242
00:18:16,512 --> 00:18:18,472
were not ordinary footballers.
243
00:18:18,472 --> 00:18:21,016
They are some of the biggest stars Brazil...
244
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:22,976
has ever produced.
245
00:18:22,976 --> 00:18:27,940
Zico, Bebeto, Junior, Romario.
246
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:29,942
You'd have to be really good to stand out...
247
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:31,360
amongst those guys.
248
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:35,697
One man did just that.
249
00:18:35,697 --> 00:18:37,991
His name wasn't Kaiser, though.
250
00:18:37,991 --> 00:18:41,161
It was Renato Portaluppi,
a right-winger
251
00:18:41,161 --> 00:18:43,622
from Porto Alegre, southern Brazil.
252
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:45,791
And because he was from the state...
253
00:18:45,791 --> 00:18:47,334
famous for its cowboys.
254
00:18:47,334 --> 00:18:51,588
He was known to all as Renato Gaucho.
255
00:18:59,054 --> 00:19:01,598
I'd define
Renato Gaucho like this…
256
00:19:01,598 --> 00:19:04,476
Renato Gaucho was the perfect man.
257
00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:14,528
Renato had an
illustrious career in Brazil.
258
00:19:14,528 --> 00:19:16,905
He's one of the greatest forwards
in Brazilian football...
259
00:19:16,905 --> 00:19:17,948
without a doubt.
260
00:19:27,124 --> 00:19:28,709
Renato was a top player.
261
00:19:28,709 --> 00:19:32,379
He was a player much like...
262
00:19:32,379 --> 00:19:33,380
Cristiano Ronaldo...
263
00:19:34,631 --> 00:19:36,758
Messi, Neymar.
264
00:19:36,758 --> 00:19:39,720
He'd be there working
harder than everybody.
265
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,514
He'd cover more distance than
anyone on the pitch.
266
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:48,437
He played every game...
267
00:19:48,770 --> 00:19:51,273
and he always delivered.
268
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:53,817
He has
the strength of a Gaucho...
269
00:19:53,817 --> 00:19:57,362
and the Ginga of a Carioca.
270
00:19:59,948 --> 00:20:01,950
Renato made his name
at Gremio,
271
00:20:01,950 --> 00:20:03,869
pretty much single-handedly taking them...
272
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:07,831
to the Copa Libertadores
and then the World Club Cup.
273
00:20:12,461 --> 00:20:19,259
Renato's rise at
Gremio was as a young heart-throb.
274
00:20:21,261 --> 00:20:28,602
He was almost like a soap opera
star in that early period.
275
00:20:28,602 --> 00:20:31,813
He'd date women and go to nightclubs...
276
00:20:31,813 --> 00:20:34,441
he'd joke around. He was a real joker.
277
00:20:34,441 --> 00:20:37,527
Great for the group. I loved him.
278
00:20:37,527 --> 00:20:39,947
I had a real dislike for him.
279
00:20:39,947 --> 00:20:42,199
Stuck up stud.
280
00:20:42,199 --> 00:20:46,828
I have a deep dislike for stuck-up ladies'
men, for arrogant hot guys.
281
00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:48,747
They really piss me off.
282
00:20:56,421 --> 00:20:59,675
Renato was always a lad
in the good sense of the word.
283
00:20:59,675 --> 00:21:02,594
Relaxed, likeable, friendly, affable.
284
00:21:02,594 --> 00:21:04,596
But he was a ladies' man.
285
00:21:04,596 --> 00:21:08,100
I send this flower to my love.
286
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,852
I'll send one to my other love Carla.
287
00:21:10,852 --> 00:21:13,897
For Maria. Oh God.
288
00:21:13,939 --> 00:21:16,942
For my love, Carlinha.
289
00:21:16,942 --> 00:21:22,155
Monica, you're amazing.
I'd never forget you.
290
00:21:22,155 --> 00:21:22,990
Oh God.
291
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:26,493
We did an interview on the beach...
292
00:21:26,493 --> 00:21:31,873
and he wore tiny, weeny
little yellow speedos.
293
00:21:31,873 --> 00:21:33,875
He had a huge speedo collection…
294
00:21:33,875 --> 00:21:37,254
because he lived in Ipanema and he
went to the beach every day.
295
00:21:37,254 --> 00:21:40,549
After chatting for half an hour,
we became friends.
296
00:21:41,508 --> 00:21:45,762
You always seem to be dating
a different beautiful woman...
297
00:21:45,762 --> 00:21:47,055
are you fickle?
298
00:21:47,055 --> 00:21:49,641
They can choose to accept me how I am.
299
00:21:52,769 --> 00:21:57,941
One time in the middle of the
famous Rio Sul shopping mall…
300
00:21:57,941 --> 00:22:03,363
I saw a small crowd gathering with
guys passing by me saying...
301
00:22:03,363 --> 00:22:05,449
"Renato Gaucho's over there
signing autographs."
302
00:22:05,449 --> 00:22:08,493
And I thought "Is Renato there?
I'll go and see."
303
00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:12,748
I get into the middle of the mall and
who's there signing autographs?
304
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:13,999
Kaiser!
305
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:16,960
He wanted to look
like Renato Gaucho...
306
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,589
He cut his hair the same way…
307
00:22:21,131 --> 00:22:24,551
and tried to wear similar clothes to
Renato when he could.
308
00:22:24,551 --> 00:22:29,306
He pretended to be Renato.
He would show goal montages from afar...
309
00:22:29,931 --> 00:22:32,976
and because Kaiser had wavy hair like Renato…
310
00:22:32,976 --> 00:22:36,813
he would tell girls that he'd
scored a goal for Gremio.
311
00:22:36,813 --> 00:22:41,109
And girls bought it because they didn't
have a lot of knowledge about players.
312
00:22:41,109 --> 00:22:47,699
My reign truly began from 1983 when
I was compared to Renato.
313
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:50,869
That's when my reign starts.
Renato's clone.
314
00:22:58,877 --> 00:23:02,297
I began visiting
Rio de Janeiro in 1983...
315
00:23:04,007 --> 00:23:07,552
and it was around then
I met this legend.
316
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:08,804
We can call him that.
317
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:13,600
All of you abroad may have only
just heard of him...
318
00:23:13,642 --> 00:23:17,479
but for us here he's a legend.
319
00:23:17,479 --> 00:23:19,981
And then I started hearing all
of these stories about me...
320
00:23:19,981 --> 00:23:20,023
"This guy's slept with women pretending
to be you."
321
00:23:20,023 --> 00:23:24,736
"He's doing this or that."
322
00:23:24,736 --> 00:23:26,780
"He's doing well out of your name."
323
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:29,074
I said "If the guy's doing well, let him."
324
00:23:29,074 --> 00:23:31,910
"Unless he's stealing or attacking
somebody let him do it."
325
00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:34,454
Due to my resemblance with Renato...
326
00:23:35,622 --> 00:23:37,624
"I used to sleep with older women..."
327
00:23:38,458 --> 00:23:39,501
for money...
328
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,711
because women wanted to bed Renato...
329
00:23:41,711 --> 00:23:44,131
but they paid to have sex with Kaiser.
330
00:23:45,132 --> 00:23:49,386
When I met Kaiser I could really
see how much he resembled me.
331
00:23:49,928 --> 00:23:53,473
After we met I could never forget him...
332
00:23:53,473 --> 00:23:55,684
because he's a real character.
333
00:23:55,684 --> 00:23:58,520
There are endless stories about Kaiser.
334
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,273
We've been good friends for many years...
335
00:24:01,314 --> 00:24:04,276
and I know we'll stay that way.
336
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:10,282
I don't drink because my mum was an alcoholic.
I have an aversion to drink.
337
00:24:11,908 --> 00:24:16,121
For me nowadays, my dad, my brother,
my friend, my everything...
338
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:17,205
is Renato Gaucho.
339
00:24:22,335 --> 00:24:24,212
By pretending to be Renato,
340
00:24:24,212 --> 00:24:28,133
Kaiser had tasted the life
of a professional footballer.
341
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:30,302
He had his entry into the game...
342
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:32,596
and he fully intended to exploit it.
343
00:24:33,597 --> 00:24:37,642
In Brazil, Kaiser is known as a 171,
344
00:24:37,642 --> 00:24:40,687
the penal code for scams and fraud.
345
00:24:41,897 --> 00:24:43,815
As we say colloquially
here in Brazil...
346
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:46,401
"Every 171 is loveable."
347
00:24:46,401 --> 00:24:48,778
And Kaiser is no exception.
348
00:24:48,778 --> 00:24:51,615
They're always bad.
Always bad.
349
00:24:51,615 --> 00:24:55,118
Profiting from something they don't do.
350
00:24:55,994 --> 00:24:58,163
Kaiser is a good 171.
351
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:03,126
He was shady in a good way.
352
00:25:03,126 --> 00:25:09,591
I think he's an affront to the profession of football.
353
00:25:12,636 --> 00:25:14,888
Kaiser knew
that if he wanted to maintain...
354
00:25:14,888 --> 00:25:18,725
his footballer lifestyle,
he had to become one.
355
00:25:19,935 --> 00:25:22,562
And with his growing
network of famous friends,
356
00:25:22,562 --> 00:25:26,233
he started getting introductions
to professional clubs.
357
00:25:28,235 --> 00:25:30,904
His first opportunity
didn't come in Rio,
358
00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:35,909
but 9,000 kilometers away.
359
00:25:48,088 --> 00:25:52,050
Ajaccio,
or Corsica actually.
360
00:25:52,801 --> 00:25:56,805
The island is very beautiful.
Surrounded by the Mediterranean.
361
00:26:01,518 --> 00:26:04,104
GFCA. Gazelec Football Club Ajaccio.
362
00:26:06,022 --> 00:26:09,192
I was taken by a Brazilian called
Fabio Barros, Fabinho.
363
00:26:11,736 --> 00:26:14,781
I arrived and they had high expectations
because I was Brazilian.
364
00:26:15,991 --> 00:26:17,742
The stadium was packed with fans.
365
00:26:18,827 --> 00:26:21,371
I climbed into the stands and gave
flowers to the president's wife,
366
00:26:21,371 --> 00:26:23,748
got the Corsican flag and kissed it.
367
00:26:24,457 --> 00:26:25,542
And so, I didn't have to train...
368
00:26:25,542 --> 00:26:27,252
I kicked all the balls out to the fans…
369
00:26:28,128 --> 00:26:29,254
and then there was no training.
370
00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:30,797
I got a standing ovation.
371
00:26:31,298 --> 00:26:33,633
Just because of that I could have
stayed ten years without playing.
372
00:26:35,343 --> 00:26:38,096
There was a game, which
I was watching from the stands
373
00:26:38,096 --> 00:26:44,227
And right when they blew the whistle
he made a crazy ten-metre dash.
374
00:26:44,227 --> 00:26:46,980
At the end of the sprint he put his hand
on his leg and fell on the ground.
375
00:26:46,980 --> 00:26:51,693
There was a French guy sat next to me who
also played for the club and he said...
376
00:26:51,693 --> 00:26:55,238
"Alex, that guy never plays.
I already knew that was going to happen"
377
00:26:55,238 --> 00:26:58,283
"I was actually surprised he didn't
come off before the whistle blew."
378
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:05,832
His relationship with the club
couldn't have been worse.
379
00:27:06,124 --> 00:27:11,504
He didn't bother anybody, but
the coach didn't like him.
380
00:27:12,213 --> 00:27:16,384
My friends were the
directors not the players.
381
00:27:18,178 --> 00:27:23,099
Corsica wants
to be independent.
382
00:27:23,892 --> 00:27:26,811
So, the violence there is really bad.
383
00:27:29,147 --> 00:27:32,108
It's mafia. Let's not beat around
the bush. It's mafia.
384
00:27:34,235 --> 00:27:38,281
Mancini, an Italian, was vice-president.
385
00:27:39,366 --> 00:27:42,369
He had a special relationship with Mancini…
386
00:27:42,369 --> 00:27:43,370
as if he was his son.
387
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:47,999
It was like a wing of protection around Kaiser.
388
00:27:47,999 --> 00:27:50,418
It was a kind of mafia thing.
389
00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:56,883
There came a point when they said
"He's not going to perform."
390
00:27:56,883 --> 00:27:59,886
"He's not going to perform but
he's important to us."
391
00:27:59,886 --> 00:28:02,555
And he was loaned out,
he didn't stay there.
392
00:28:02,555 --> 00:28:04,349
He was always going back to
Brazil to play for Bangu
393
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:05,934
Loaned out to Bangu, America FC.
394
00:28:07,936 --> 00:28:08,770
In a country...
395
00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:10,230
where he couldn't speak the language
396
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:13,817
and was a complete unknown,
Kaiser had conned his way
397
00:28:13,817 --> 00:28:15,819
into professional football.
398
00:28:18,154 --> 00:28:20,365
Having a foreign club on his resume
399
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:23,993
gave him exactly what
he needed back at home,
400
00:28:23,993 --> 00:28:28,123
a doorway into the world
of Brazilian football.
401
00:28:31,418 --> 00:28:37,132
The clubs I've been at
probably won't admit it...
402
00:28:37,590 --> 00:28:40,635
because I was a disappointment for them.
403
00:28:40,677 --> 00:28:42,721
But clubs screw so many people over...
404
00:28:43,263 --> 00:28:45,390
that somebody had to trick the clubs.
405
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:47,350
They couldn't fire me.
406
00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:49,978
How do you explain that you signed
some player who didn't work out?
407
00:28:49,978 --> 00:28:51,271
You can't sell them.
408
00:28:51,271 --> 00:28:53,481
You'll be devaluing all of your assets.
409
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:56,609
All the teams I went to celebrated twice...
410
00:28:56,609 --> 00:28:58,611
when I signed and the again when I left.
411
00:29:00,029 --> 00:29:01,030
You understand?
412
00:29:01,030 --> 00:29:04,617
The only exception to that was Bangu.
413
00:29:09,956 --> 00:29:13,501
This is the
legendary Brazilian children's
414
00:29:13,501 --> 00:29:15,420
TV show, Balao Magico.
415
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:19,924
It featured a clown, a flying
balloon with an evil face,
416
00:29:19,924 --> 00:29:22,969
and what appears to be a dancing penis,
417
00:29:22,969 --> 00:29:24,262
which is stroking an egg.
418
00:29:25,722 --> 00:29:29,476
Balao Magico and its theme
song, Super Fantastisco,
419
00:29:29,476 --> 00:29:32,979
were loved by millions,
including this man,
420
00:29:32,979 --> 00:29:36,107
Castor de Andrade.
421
00:29:36,107 --> 00:29:39,527
Castor was a colourful
character in Brazilian life.
422
00:29:39,527 --> 00:29:42,989
He was patron of the famous
Moncidade's Samba School,
423
00:29:42,989 --> 00:29:45,033
which still competes in Rio Carnival.
424
00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,119
Castor was a man of the people,
425
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:50,997
known throughout the entire country.
426
00:29:50,997 --> 00:29:51,956
- Bravo!
427
00:29:51,956 --> 00:29:54,501
And he financed
and controlled Bangu,
428
00:29:54,501 --> 00:29:57,879
a small club in the west zone of Rio.
429
00:29:57,879 --> 00:30:00,757
Whatever he wanted, happened.
430
00:30:00,757 --> 00:30:03,176
- Offside!
431
00:30:03,176 --> 00:30:07,055
And Castor wanted the Bangu
band to play Super Fantastico...
432
00:30:07,055 --> 00:30:08,973
at every game.
433
00:30:17,273 --> 00:30:21,152
Everybody who played for
Bangu under Doctor Castor...
434
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:23,363
was afraid of Doctor Castor.
435
00:30:23,363 --> 00:30:26,741
That's a fact. You couldn't not be.
436
00:30:28,034 --> 00:30:29,035
The left back for the 1970
national team, Marco Antonio...
437
00:30:31,204 --> 00:30:32,205
was always injured and he couldn't play.
438
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:37,126
Castor went to training where Marco
Antonio was chatting away...
439
00:30:37,126 --> 00:30:38,419
he took his revolver out...
440
00:30:39,671 --> 00:30:42,173
BANG, he took a shot near Marco Antonio's foot.
441
00:30:42,590 --> 00:30:46,135
He jumped about two kilometres.
442
00:30:46,970 --> 00:30:50,348
"Look! You're fine! You can play tomorrow then."
443
00:30:52,934 --> 00:30:55,270
Castor was a man...
444
00:30:55,270 --> 00:30:57,897
that no one wanted to mess with.
445
00:30:57,897 --> 00:31:01,818
In the 1980s, he was considered
to be the most dangerous...
446
00:31:01,818 --> 00:31:04,070
crime boss in Brazil.
447
00:31:04,404 --> 00:31:09,993
If the police stopped you in the street
and you mentioned Doctor Castor…
448
00:31:09,993 --> 00:31:12,453
you would get off scot-free.
449
00:31:12,453 --> 00:31:17,375
Castor de Andrade's name
was very powerful.
450
00:31:19,711 --> 00:31:23,590
I was a friend of his.
I'm godfather to his daughter.
451
00:31:23,590 --> 00:31:28,928
Castor was charismatic, caring.
He lived on the wrong side of the law...
452
00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:34,809
but all the powerful leaders
around the country loved him.
453
00:31:36,978 --> 00:31:39,230
Castor was a bichiero,
454
00:31:39,230 --> 00:31:43,943
the head of an illegal lottery
game called Jogo Do Bicho.
455
00:31:43,943 --> 00:31:46,738
You can still buy a ticket
on every street corner...
456
00:31:46,738 --> 00:31:48,489
in Brazil, and it's tolerated
457
00:31:48,489 --> 00:31:51,784
because everybody plays it.
458
00:31:51,784 --> 00:31:53,661
Castor had been born into the game...
459
00:31:53,661 --> 00:31:56,080
and had gone from owning
a few lottery stores...
460
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,665
to becoming one of the richest...
461
00:31:57,665 --> 00:32:00,501
and most influential people
in the whole of Brazil.
462
00:32:01,210 --> 00:32:03,838
Castor de Andrade was
drowning in money.
463
00:32:04,047 --> 00:32:06,424
He could light cigars with $100 bills.
464
00:32:13,306 --> 00:32:17,352
He was the boss.
He assumed the power of the role.
465
00:32:17,352 --> 00:32:22,315
I would very often see players kiss his hand.
466
00:32:22,315 --> 00:32:23,816
That would actually happen.
467
00:32:26,235 --> 00:32:29,530
Crime bosses
are passionate people.
468
00:32:29,530 --> 00:32:31,658
And what better to release passion
469
00:32:31,658 --> 00:32:33,076
than through football.
470
00:32:34,118 --> 00:32:36,913
Bangu and Castor were a perfect match.
471
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:40,667
I saw who ordered them to attack me...
472
00:32:40,667 --> 00:32:42,210
and it was the chairman,
Castor de Andrade.
473
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:45,505
I ran after the referee with a
clear instruction saying...
474
00:32:45,505 --> 00:32:47,215
"Don't leave the pitch!"
475
00:32:47,215 --> 00:32:50,802
"Wait on the pitch for the police."
476
00:32:50,802 --> 00:32:55,598
And as I approached him shouting
"Don't leave the pitch!"
477
00:32:55,598 --> 00:33:01,229
He might have thought I was trying
to attack him, so he ran off.
478
00:33:05,608 --> 00:33:06,859
The footage shows the carnage...
479
00:33:06,859 --> 00:33:08,277
but I didn't see anything.
480
00:33:09,779 --> 00:33:12,699
I remember saying
to him "Hey, Castor..."
481
00:33:12,699 --> 00:33:18,705
He liked me a lot because I
didn't ask for bribes.
482
00:33:18,705 --> 00:33:22,500
And he said to me "Garotinho,
get this in your head..."
483
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:24,585
"Only people that deserve it get killed."
484
00:33:26,087 --> 00:33:28,006
So, I went out thinking "Whoa, only people
that deserve it get killed!"
485
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:31,467
how was I supposed to
interpret that sentence?
486
00:33:32,635 --> 00:33:34,387
Castor's money
brought in some of the greatest
487
00:33:34,387 --> 00:33:37,640
players in Brazil,
including some of the 1970...
488
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,560
World Cup winning squad
and their superstar...
489
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,021
national team forward, called Maurino.
490
00:33:46,649 --> 00:33:49,986
The team went from nothing
to narrowly missing out...
491
00:33:49,986 --> 00:33:54,407
on becoming champions of Brazil in 1985.
492
00:33:58,202 --> 00:34:02,331
Castor's money also brought
him a not-so-great player.
493
00:34:03,332 --> 00:34:04,709
I came from Ajaccio.
494
00:34:04,709 --> 00:34:05,835
I went from Corsica to Bangu.
495
00:34:06,669 --> 00:34:10,465
There's a newspaper headline
saying "Bangu has its king.
496
00:34:10,465 --> 00:34:12,216
Who was that? Zizinho?
497
00:34:12,216 --> 00:34:14,427
No. Carlos Kaiser.
498
00:34:14,427 --> 00:34:18,139
From a sports newspaper back then.
It's there for whoever wants to see it.
499
00:34:18,222 --> 00:34:22,185
I saw this newspaper headline
"Bangu signs Kaiser."
500
00:34:22,185 --> 00:34:25,938
The name alone stands out. A name like Kaiser.
501
00:34:25,938 --> 00:34:28,441
"I want to see this guy play."
502
00:34:28,441 --> 00:34:32,111
He became as important...
503
00:34:32,111 --> 00:34:34,238
as Mauro Galvão, Marinho...
504
00:34:34,238 --> 00:34:36,741
and nobody today can explain why.
505
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:42,371
Because he was as important as
we were for the club.
506
00:34:42,371 --> 00:34:43,873
For doing nothing.
507
00:34:43,873 --> 00:34:45,124
He wasn't a player.
508
00:34:49,295 --> 00:34:50,838
I was a ball boy at Bangu.
509
00:34:54,217 --> 00:34:57,220
He would tell me from on the pitch
"Go up to the stands..."
510
00:34:57,220 --> 00:35:00,556
"and get all the guys from the favela here to shout my name"
511
00:35:00,556 --> 00:35:06,354
"Then after the training I'll
buy you a snack and a drink."
512
00:35:06,437 --> 00:35:10,024
I said: "Leave it to me." Then I went up
and got about 30 guys to shout...
513
00:35:10,024 --> 00:35:12,151
"Kaiser! Kaiser!"
514
00:35:12,151 --> 00:35:16,030
After that Castor would say "He's the man."
515
00:35:17,532 --> 00:35:21,536
he managed to fool the most
dangerous man in Brazil.
516
00:35:23,204 --> 00:35:26,040
Tripping Castor up is like tripping up
a tortoise. It's difficult...
517
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,583
but it seems he did it.
518
00:35:31,546 --> 00:35:34,465
We were afraid of Doctor Castor...
519
00:35:34,507 --> 00:35:37,135
but he loved Kaiser.
520
00:35:37,343 --> 00:35:40,429
You'd got into Castor's room and
Kaiser was always there...
521
00:35:40,429 --> 00:35:43,641
playing, chatting and laughing loads.
522
00:35:46,060 --> 00:35:50,606
When we had to give an interview,
Doctor Castor asked him to do it.
523
00:35:50,606 --> 00:35:53,985
And everybody was like "Doctor, why Kaiser?"
524
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:56,821
He would just say "Kaiser is the man.
525
00:35:58,614 --> 00:36:02,910
Doctor Castor always thought I
was going to shine at some point.
526
00:36:03,536 --> 00:36:08,916
I organized everything. I was
the team's PR manager.
527
00:36:09,584 --> 00:36:12,170
So, when a director of the team
decided to get rid of me...
528
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:14,589
there were 30 people demanding
that I stayed.
529
00:36:19,886 --> 00:36:22,013
The good thing he brought to Bangu
was that he filled the place up with girls.
530
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:25,141
He would arrive in a van...
531
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:26,517
with 15 or 20 women.
532
00:36:28,728 --> 00:36:30,104
He's amazing.
533
00:36:30,104 --> 00:36:32,315
I don't know where his talent
comes from but it's good.
534
00:36:33,816 --> 00:36:37,820
This documentary has to be based on
the personal side, not the footballing one.
535
00:36:39,363 --> 00:36:42,617
I wasn't any kind of legend.
I was a legend to other people.
536
00:36:42,617 --> 00:36:45,536
The players' legend, not the fans' one.
537
00:36:45,536 --> 00:36:48,789
No club has a statue of me.
There's nothing.
538
00:36:53,377 --> 00:36:55,630
Rio de Janeiro
is as seductive at night...
539
00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:57,632
as it is by day.
540
00:36:57,673 --> 00:36:59,842
All of Brazil wants to party here.
541
00:36:59,842 --> 00:37:03,262
And, with his reputation as
a superstar footballer,
542
00:37:03,262 --> 00:37:05,765
Kaiser was at the centre of every party.
543
00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:10,561
To his teammates, he was
the king of Rio nightlife.
544
00:37:10,561 --> 00:37:12,897
What he lacked in talent on the pitch,
545
00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:15,733
he more than made up
for on the dance floor.
546
00:37:20,696 --> 00:37:24,116
He'd know where
the coolest places were.
547
00:37:24,116 --> 00:37:25,326
The king of the party.
548
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:32,041
He was always around footballers
and among beautiful women.
549
00:37:32,041 --> 00:37:33,876
I always saw Kaiser with beautiful women.
550
00:37:33,876 --> 00:37:35,753
And famous women too.
551
00:37:41,425 --> 00:37:43,844
Kaiser would bring you
along to a nightclub...
552
00:37:43,844 --> 00:37:46,138
where there were women in a VIP area...
553
00:37:46,138 --> 00:37:49,725
free drinks, free food.
554
00:37:49,725 --> 00:37:51,394
It was like he was an actor.
555
00:38:02,863 --> 00:38:06,617
He would pretend to be someone special.
556
00:38:06,617 --> 00:38:09,745
So, people would inexplicably give
him special treatment.
557
00:38:10,413 --> 00:38:13,958
He would rock up
with his footballer swagger...
558
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:17,211
then he'd go up to them and say:
"Hey, I'm a footballer..."
559
00:38:17,253 --> 00:38:18,963
and the girls would be like:
"Wow! A footballer?"
560
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:24,093
He would go up
to women and say...
561
00:38:24,093 --> 00:38:27,805
"I'm a footballer. I want to dedicate
my next goal to you on TV."
562
00:38:30,516 --> 00:38:31,934
He invited me to go out with him.
563
00:38:32,601 --> 00:38:34,228
That's where the trouble started.
564
00:38:34,562 --> 00:38:40,401
I remember one time we went to a
nightclub called Nuth over in Barra.
565
00:38:40,401 --> 00:38:46,615
Kaiser invited me and two girls
to a nightclub opening.
566
00:38:46,615 --> 00:38:47,825
"Ok. Let's go."
567
00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:52,413
"You won't have to worry about anything as it's
all on my tab and I know everybody there."
568
00:38:52,413 --> 00:38:56,208
Then he opened a door about this
height to crawl through.
569
00:38:58,377 --> 00:39:01,380
Under the door and under all
these pots and pans.
570
00:39:01,380 --> 00:39:03,424
He got me in through the kitchen.
571
00:39:03,424 --> 00:39:06,927
I come in and there's a
fryer in front of me.
572
00:39:06,927 --> 00:39:13,684
We came out onto the roof and down
a ladder then we were in the club.
573
00:39:13,684 --> 00:39:17,897
Then once we finally got in I realised
that he'd just snuck us in like a rat.
574
00:39:17,897 --> 00:39:22,026
I said to him "Fucking hell Kaiser, I work..."
575
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:26,113
"I can just go to the front and pay the
entrance fee. I don't need this shit!"
576
00:39:27,948 --> 00:39:31,577
I got in trouble at home with my wife...
577
00:39:31,577 --> 00:39:34,955
because a lot of people would say to her...
578
00:39:34,955 --> 00:39:39,585
"Renato was in this place, Renato was drinking
there, Renato was with a woman."
579
00:39:39,585 --> 00:39:42,213
And it wasn't me. I was at training camp.
580
00:39:42,213 --> 00:39:43,255
It was Kaiser.
581
00:39:45,174 --> 00:39:46,967
We arrived at a nightclub.
582
00:39:46,967 --> 00:39:49,470
He was walking in and was
stopped by the bouncer.
583
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:53,015
Kaiser said: "Don't you know who I am?"
584
00:39:53,933 --> 00:39:57,686
"I'm Renato Gaucho."
"Oh Renato! Come on in."
585
00:39:58,312 --> 00:40:00,481
Then the nightclub owner said "Hey Renato..."
586
00:40:00,481 --> 00:40:03,275
Come sit down here. You and
Mauricio sit here. They're players."
587
00:40:05,820 --> 00:40:11,534
Then the real Renato comes along
and the bouncer stops him.
588
00:40:11,534 --> 00:40:14,787
I say "The owner invited me along.
I'm with a couple of friends."
589
00:40:14,787 --> 00:40:18,541
And the guy says: "But who are you?"
590
00:40:18,541 --> 00:40:20,334
I said: "I'm Renato Gaucho."
591
00:40:20,709 --> 00:40:23,629
The bouncer looks at me and says…
592
00:40:23,629 --> 00:40:25,673
"Do I look like an idiot?"
593
00:40:25,673 --> 00:40:27,425
Renato says: "Are you crazy, mate?"
594
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:29,427
And everybody else saying:
"It's Renato, mate."
595
00:40:29,427 --> 00:40:31,804
And the bouncer says "No way,
Renato's already inside!"
596
00:40:31,804 --> 00:40:33,889
"Oh, really? Renato Gaucho
is already inside?"
597
00:40:34,390 --> 00:40:36,267
I said: "Could you do me one favour?"
598
00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:38,144
Which one is Renato Gaucho in there?"
599
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:43,441
I come in and Carlos Kaiser is
there at the table...
600
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:47,069
surrounded by beautiful women
with drinks on the table.
601
00:40:49,155 --> 00:40:53,159
Then they found out it was Carlos Kaiser.
Kaiser went and hid in the bathroom.
602
00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:55,995
What can I do with a guy like that?
603
00:41:04,211 --> 00:41:06,505
Off the pitch,
Kaiser was living the life
604
00:41:06,505 --> 00:41:09,800
of a star, and his fellow
footballers loved him.
605
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,597
But Castor de Andrade's patience
was starting to wear thin.
606
00:41:17,683 --> 00:41:20,269
Castor was so
pissed off with him.
607
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:26,358
One day Castor de Andrade and his
people came and said...
608
00:41:27,234 --> 00:41:33,407
"Kaiser! If you don't train today right now,
we're going to shoot you."
609
00:41:33,908 --> 00:41:35,701
He pressured me.
610
00:41:35,701 --> 00:41:41,707
Doctor Castor liked the way I was.
He wanted to see my character on the pitch.
611
00:41:43,834 --> 00:41:46,712
You could never fool him.
Men like that don't get fooled.
612
00:41:47,588 --> 00:41:50,174
Nobody scams Castor de Andrade.
613
00:42:00,226 --> 00:42:03,729
Bangu weren't getting good
results so at some point they said...
614
00:42:03,729 --> 00:42:05,564
"We have to make Kaiser play."
615
00:42:08,150 --> 00:42:11,946
I was partying at a nightclub
here in Rio called Caligula.
616
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:25,084
The Bangu coach Moises calls me.
617
00:42:42,768 --> 00:42:44,853
So, the guy finds me at 4am in the morning.
618
00:42:45,729 --> 00:42:49,275
And he tells me that Doctor Castor wants
me on the bench the next day.
619
00:42:51,443 --> 00:42:55,656
I said "Come on man. You call me at 4am
to play in the game?"
620
00:42:55,656 --> 00:42:58,075
He said "No. You just have to be on the bench.
You're not going to play."
621
00:43:06,166 --> 00:43:10,546
So, I'm arriving back at the hotel and
the other players are just waking up.
622
00:43:18,262 --> 00:43:20,598
I was a ball boy. I was on the pitch.
623
00:43:30,941 --> 00:43:33,944
It seemed like a storm was gathering.
624
00:43:33,944 --> 00:43:36,822
Everybody was excited saying
"Kaiser is going to make his debut."
625
00:43:36,822 --> 00:43:38,657
How can a footballer be thinking...
626
00:43:38,657 --> 00:43:41,243
"Oh hell, I'm going on the pitch.
What am I going to do?"
627
00:43:45,623 --> 00:43:46,707
So, they put him on the bench.
628
00:43:47,082 --> 00:43:49,627
The game is in full flow then Castor sends a
message down saying "Put Kaiser on."
629
00:43:50,127 --> 00:43:53,380
"Send Kaiser on. Put the big guy
up front so he scores."
630
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,717
And he's terrified of coming on
631
00:43:59,428 --> 00:44:01,055
They tell him to warm up and he thinks...
632
00:44:01,055 --> 00:44:03,432
"I'm screwed. I'm screwed."
633
00:44:08,687 --> 00:44:11,190
"If the Doctor finds me out, I'm dead."
634
00:44:13,275 --> 00:44:16,695
I started to warm up and
supporters were shouting...
635
00:44:16,695 --> 00:44:19,281
"Long haired faggot!"
I thought "Now's my chance."
636
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:23,077
So, I jumped the fence.
637
00:44:25,704 --> 00:44:27,748
And he fights this fan.
638
00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:46,850
And I was sent off before coming on the pitch.
639
00:44:56,819 --> 00:44:59,405
Castor comes down to the dressing
room ready to kill him.
640
00:45:02,241 --> 00:45:06,203
"Kaiser, for God's sake, the boss is
going to kill you today."
641
00:45:06,203 --> 00:45:08,831
"What have you done? You're crazy."
642
00:45:19,049 --> 00:45:21,051
I was sitting down and thinking
about what I could say.
643
00:45:21,593 --> 00:45:24,096
Then Doctor Castor comes in with his heavies.
644
00:45:30,269 --> 00:45:32,563
When he came up to me, I said...
645
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,064
"Doctor..."
646
00:45:34,732 --> 00:45:37,609
"before you speak, I want
to say something."
647
00:45:39,653 --> 00:45:42,740
"I can't tolerate fans saying
bad things about you..."
648
00:45:42,740 --> 00:45:43,824
"you are incredible."
649
00:45:43,824 --> 00:45:45,284
"You're my father."
650
00:45:48,454 --> 00:45:50,414
"God took away my real father..."
651
00:45:50,789 --> 00:45:51,874
"then he gave me you."
652
00:45:57,171 --> 00:46:00,382
"The fans out there were calling
you a crook and a bum..."
653
00:46:00,382 --> 00:46:03,427
"That you're a criminal, you're a villain."
654
00:46:03,427 --> 00:46:05,804
"They were slandering you saying
you were a drug baron..."
655
00:46:07,431 --> 00:46:08,265
"Doctor..."
656
00:46:09,266 --> 00:46:11,685
"my contract is up in a fortnight."
657
00:46:11,685 --> 00:46:13,479
"You'll be rid of me in a fortnight."
658
00:46:14,772 --> 00:46:16,982
"No!"
659
00:46:27,201 --> 00:46:28,535
"Kaiser..."
660
00:46:29,495 --> 00:46:31,455
"You are my friend."
661
00:46:32,831 --> 00:46:35,918
"Three more months on your contract."
662
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,589
"You're my friend. Three more
months on your contract!"
663
00:46:45,803 --> 00:46:49,139
"Put another six months on Kaiser's
contract and double his pay."
664
00:46:49,181 --> 00:46:51,767
And the whole team was like "Fucking hell.
How did you manage that?"
665
00:46:55,103 --> 00:46:57,815
He stayed for another three months
suckling Castor's tit.
666
00:47:08,242 --> 00:47:10,619
So, by
impersonating superstars
667
00:47:10,619 --> 00:47:14,164
and sweet-talking gangster
bosses, Kaiser proclaimed...
668
00:47:14,164 --> 00:47:17,709
to be a footballer himself.
669
00:47:17,709 --> 00:47:21,213
Now it was time to do some
serious self-promotion,
670
00:47:21,213 --> 00:47:23,507
appear in sporting and gossip columns...
671
00:47:23,507 --> 00:47:26,176
and start to dominate, not just Bangu,
672
00:47:26,176 --> 00:47:28,595
but the entire city of Rio.
673
00:47:35,477 --> 00:47:38,313
There were friendships that Kaiser
forged with certain journalists.
674
00:47:38,313 --> 00:47:39,898
Who he'd schmooze.
675
00:47:39,898 --> 00:47:43,485
He'd sell his story and the journalists believed it.
676
00:47:46,446 --> 00:47:49,241
There are loads of interviews with
him with many journalists.
677
00:47:49,241 --> 00:47:51,285
He's done loads of TV shows.
678
00:47:51,285 --> 00:47:53,745
It's truly unbelievable.
679
00:47:54,037 --> 00:47:55,956
Actually, this is how it goes.
680
00:47:55,956 --> 00:47:58,709
I was sold to Ajaccio in Corsica.
681
00:47:58,709 --> 00:48:00,294
In French it's "Ajaccienne."
682
00:48:00,669 --> 00:48:02,504
Jairzinho, I was your lucky charm...
683
00:48:03,505 --> 00:48:05,799
I saw you come to Botafogo.
684
00:48:06,216 --> 00:48:07,217
What's up gang.
685
00:48:07,217 --> 00:48:08,844
It's not just any show today.
686
00:48:08,844 --> 00:48:11,013
It's a special show.
687
00:48:11,013 --> 00:48:12,472
You know why?
688
00:48:12,472 --> 00:48:15,309
Why? Because Renato's here.
689
00:48:15,309 --> 00:48:16,602
You're so hot right now.
690
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,607
The important thing is to be happy.
691
00:48:22,149 --> 00:48:27,696
He sold the story of his life
being a footballer.
692
00:48:27,696 --> 00:48:29,156
He inhabited the character...
693
00:48:30,866 --> 00:48:32,868
and he talked the talk.
694
00:48:39,583 --> 00:48:41,251
As Kaiser's fame spread,
695
00:48:41,251 --> 00:48:44,755
he was able to get into any
football club he wanted.
696
00:48:44,755 --> 00:48:49,009
Trying to work out which
club he was at any one time
697
00:48:49,009 --> 00:48:50,260
was impossible.
698
00:48:50,260 --> 00:48:51,929
He was everywhere.
699
00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:54,723
A few weeks here, a few months there.
700
00:48:55,641 --> 00:48:58,185
Dates for me are something
I want to forget.
701
00:48:58,185 --> 00:49:03,106
I didn't care about changing
clubs all the time.
702
00:49:03,106 --> 00:49:07,694
When a manager told me I wasn't
going to play, I was overjoyed.
703
00:49:08,362 --> 00:49:11,156
In order to maintain
the life of a footballer,
704
00:49:11,156 --> 00:49:14,409
all Kaiser had to do was
make sure he never set foot...
705
00:49:14,409 --> 00:49:16,995
on a pitch, or go near a football.
706
00:49:17,871 --> 00:49:19,665
A famous midfielder for Fluminense…
707
00:49:20,499 --> 00:49:23,710
knocked some guy out in a nightclub
and I took the blame.
708
00:49:24,211 --> 00:49:26,129
I saved the players' asses.
709
00:49:29,174 --> 00:49:30,926
He came to Palmeiras.
710
00:49:31,468 --> 00:49:36,390
He approached the guy who was marking
him from the youth team...
711
00:49:36,390 --> 00:49:38,392
and asked: "How much do you earn?"
712
00:49:38,392 --> 00:49:41,812
The guy told him, so he said "I'll give you
double that if you injure me."
713
00:49:43,105 --> 00:49:46,858
Training started and the guy slide
tackled him and injured him.
714
00:49:46,858 --> 00:49:50,028
Then, when his contract was
ending, they extended it.
715
00:49:52,698 --> 00:49:57,995
I arrived at Puebla on a three-year contract
but I was sent on loan to America FC.
716
00:49:58,829 --> 00:50:03,375
and the club president came to me
and said: "Fuck man you never play!"
717
00:50:03,792 --> 00:50:08,422
"I have the note here and they've finally
found what my problem is."
718
00:50:08,422 --> 00:50:10,924
"It's a dental issue." Pure lies.
719
00:50:12,759 --> 00:50:15,262
Many people will
wonder why football clubs...
720
00:50:15,262 --> 00:50:16,847
would fall for this.
721
00:50:16,847 --> 00:50:19,141
The first rule for any
good businessperson...
722
00:50:19,141 --> 00:50:21,643
is to check your employees' references.
723
00:50:21,643 --> 00:50:24,438
However, in some respects,
Kaiser's references
724
00:50:24,438 --> 00:50:26,273
were very good.
725
00:50:26,273 --> 00:50:29,484
Okay, he couldn't deliver on the pitch,
726
00:50:29,484 --> 00:50:32,863
but he certainly delivered off it.
727
00:50:32,863 --> 00:50:35,866
And his particular skills
were just what was needed...
728
00:50:35,866 --> 00:50:36,908
at Botafogo.
729
00:50:40,704 --> 00:50:43,457
Castor de Andrade's shady work history...
730
00:50:43,457 --> 00:50:45,500
and controlling interest in Bangu
731
00:50:45,500 --> 00:50:48,962
wasn't a unique combination
in 1980s Brazil.
732
00:50:48,962 --> 00:50:52,716
There were other bicheiros
involved in Rio football.
733
00:50:55,093 --> 00:50:57,304
Emil Pinheiro was just like Castor de Andrade.
734
00:50:57,888 --> 00:51:00,515
An absurdly wealthy man.
735
00:51:01,308 --> 00:51:06,354
Top players probably earn more
than the President of Brazil.
736
00:51:06,897 --> 00:51:11,443
Emil was more of a small time
bicheiro, and Castor was big league.
737
00:51:11,443 --> 00:51:15,405
He wasn't volatile or short tempered like Castor.
738
00:51:16,573 --> 00:51:20,535
Doctor Emil was really funny. He
was tiny. He was really short.
739
00:51:20,869 --> 00:51:22,329
And he wore a little wig...
740
00:51:22,370 --> 00:51:24,664
that would occasionally
fall out of place.
741
00:51:25,832 --> 00:51:29,294
They needed to launder money
they'd earned illegally.
742
00:51:29,294 --> 00:51:32,589
And part of that money went into football.
743
00:51:32,589 --> 00:51:38,386
Legend has it that Pinheiro paid
off linesmen and referees.
744
00:51:40,764 --> 00:51:42,140
Emil had wanted to be part
745
00:51:42,140 --> 00:51:44,101
of football for years.
746
00:51:44,101 --> 00:51:46,728
And his old friend, Castor, helped him
747
00:51:46,728 --> 00:51:49,356
get the right introductions to Botafogo.
748
00:51:50,732 --> 00:51:53,318
The club hadn't won a thing since the '70s,
749
00:51:53,318 --> 00:51:56,446
but Emil's briefcases of
cash and a favour from Castor
750
00:51:56,446 --> 00:51:58,115
changed all that.
751
00:51:59,116 --> 00:52:02,369
Despite being the bigger
bichiero, Castor owed Emil...
752
00:52:02,369 --> 00:52:06,248
a lot of money and rather
than start an unnecessary...
753
00:52:06,248 --> 00:52:08,416
turf war, he just let
a lot of Bangu players...
754
00:52:08,416 --> 00:52:11,545
join Emil's revolution in Botafogo.
755
00:52:11,545 --> 00:52:15,757
The result, a 1989 state championship.
756
00:52:24,391 --> 00:52:27,144
God had a purpose for
me with that goal.
757
00:52:29,813 --> 00:52:34,526
I brought joy to millions of Botafogo fans.
758
00:52:34,526 --> 00:52:37,195
This title is for my aunt...
759
00:52:37,195 --> 00:52:39,156
and for my mum watching at home.
760
00:52:40,991 --> 00:52:44,327
Emil Pinheiro was crucial to that victory.
761
00:52:44,703 --> 00:52:47,080
I can now die peacefully.
762
00:52:47,956 --> 00:52:49,332
Having been
patron of the club
763
00:52:49,332 --> 00:52:52,669
for only a year, winning the
title meant instant success...
764
00:52:52,669 --> 00:52:54,171
for Emil.
765
00:52:54,171 --> 00:52:59,009
To an outsider, it was almost
as if he had a secret weapon.
766
00:52:59,843 --> 00:53:02,220
Can I say what actually happened,
or will it be censored?
767
00:53:02,679 --> 00:53:04,681
Is this film for over-18s?
768
00:53:04,681 --> 00:53:07,017
Can I explain exactly what happened?
769
00:53:07,934 --> 00:53:08,935
Very well...
770
00:53:09,394 --> 00:53:12,189
Emil Pinheiro wasn't around
for the Viagra boom.
771
00:53:15,108 --> 00:53:17,360
Being the age he was...
772
00:53:17,861 --> 00:53:20,572
impotence was a reality. Sexual impotence.
773
00:53:21,031 --> 00:53:22,949
So, at the time there was...
774
00:53:23,825 --> 00:53:26,620
a prosthetic surgical procedure.
775
00:53:26,620 --> 00:53:28,371
It was the hot topic.
776
00:53:28,371 --> 00:53:30,582
Doctor Emil's bionic penis.
777
00:53:30,582 --> 00:53:34,628
I took him to get
that prosthetic implant...
778
00:53:34,628 --> 00:53:38,048
and it made him really happy
779
00:53:38,757 --> 00:53:40,675
I'm sure he died happy.
780
00:53:41,301 --> 00:53:44,804
And I teased him saying "Doctor Emil
you must be over the moon..."
781
00:53:44,804 --> 00:53:48,141
"because I heard you have a new penis."
782
00:53:48,141 --> 00:53:51,019
And Emil would wear these
kind of baggy trousers...
783
00:53:51,019 --> 00:53:53,563
so, his thing was king of swaying.
784
00:53:53,563 --> 00:53:55,315
It looked like a piece of wood.
785
00:53:57,192 --> 00:54:02,322
We started to joke with him saying
that he had a permanent erection
786
00:54:02,322 --> 00:54:06,618
He would go away and I would say
"Guys, I think Emil's penis is bent..."
787
00:54:06,618 --> 00:54:09,704
"because he always returns from the
bathroom cleaning his glasses."
788
00:54:11,122 --> 00:54:13,208
Emil made a point of showing it off.
789
00:54:13,208 --> 00:54:17,629
Botafogo had gone ten games without a win.
790
00:54:18,338 --> 00:54:22,133
Emil sat down at the table
with the cameras watching.
791
00:54:22,717 --> 00:54:25,470
Since I was the most experienced,
I came forward and said...
792
00:54:25,470 --> 00:54:26,429
"President..."
793
00:54:26,429 --> 00:54:28,640
"Botafogo haven't won in ten games."
794
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,268
"What do you have to say about a
crisis at Botafogo?"
795
00:54:32,018 --> 00:54:35,313
Emil drummed his fingers on the table...
796
00:54:35,313 --> 00:54:38,316
and in that hoarse voice of his said...
797
00:54:38,316 --> 00:54:39,693
"Sergio Americo..."
798
00:54:39,693 --> 00:54:41,569
" I've looked in the drawer..."
799
00:54:42,028 --> 00:54:43,738
"I've looked in the cupboards..."
800
00:54:44,614 --> 00:54:45,991
"I've looked on the floor..."
801
00:54:46,741 --> 00:54:49,869
"and I couldn't find the Botafogo
crisis that you're talking about."
802
00:54:50,620 --> 00:54:54,332
Then he grabbed his prosthetic
penis and looked at me...
803
00:54:55,333 --> 00:54:56,751
"Sergio Americo..."
804
00:54:56,751 --> 00:55:00,380
"The crisis is here!"
805
00:55:06,094 --> 00:55:08,471
I can't take it. I swear to God.
806
00:55:08,471 --> 00:55:11,599
I actually think I saw his
dick accidentally...
807
00:55:11,599 --> 00:55:13,435
because he would wear these tight chinos...
808
00:55:13,435 --> 00:55:16,521
and he was always sat with his dick like this.
809
00:55:16,521 --> 00:55:19,607
I would say: "Guys, that dick is wrong!"
810
00:55:20,567 --> 00:55:22,319
It's no
good having a new penis...
811
00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:25,363
if you haven't got anyone to use it with.
812
00:55:25,363 --> 00:55:28,908
It is here that Kaiser's
unique skills as a professional...
813
00:55:28,908 --> 00:55:31,036
footballer can be fully appreciated.
814
00:55:31,995 --> 00:55:34,539
Emil Pinheiro had a prosthetic penis...
815
00:55:35,540 --> 00:55:38,752
I was always introducing him to women
and I would say to him.
816
00:55:39,794 --> 00:55:43,173
"What do you have that makes all these
women want to sleep with you?"
817
00:55:43,173 --> 00:55:46,259
And so he warmed to me.
818
00:55:46,259 --> 00:55:48,303
So long as I stayed tight with the President...
819
00:55:49,054 --> 00:55:51,973
I could stay at the club until he
wanted me to leave.
820
00:55:51,973 --> 00:55:57,645
If you get a guy like that who
knows how to talk...
821
00:55:57,645 --> 00:56:00,023
He would pull his pants down for him.
He was that good.
822
00:56:00,023 --> 00:56:01,441
He would roll out a red carpet for him.
823
00:56:01,441 --> 00:56:05,362
As far as the fans were concerned
he was a Botafogo player
824
00:56:05,862 --> 00:56:07,155
He always hung out with the players...
825
00:56:08,031 --> 00:56:09,032
was close with the directors.
826
00:56:09,532 --> 00:56:12,619
And Kaiser stayed for five years in Botafogo.
827
00:56:16,331 --> 00:56:18,958
88, '89, '90, '91, '92... Five years.
828
00:56:21,211 --> 00:56:23,046
He was the class pimp.
829
00:56:26,508 --> 00:56:28,051
If Pele scored 1000 goals...
830
00:56:28,051 --> 00:56:31,179
Renato and I scored 2000 with women.
831
00:56:32,222 --> 00:56:36,059
I can't name any players because
they're married.
832
00:56:36,935 --> 00:56:39,354
But it was a non-stop slut bonanza.
833
00:56:39,354 --> 00:56:42,732
If you're in Rio de Janeiro, you can't
trust the players at all...
834
00:56:42,732 --> 00:56:45,068
because our culture is completely different.
835
00:56:45,068 --> 00:56:49,239
Here it's about samba, partying,
women and football.
836
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:54,327
Give them an inch and they'll
take a mile, that's how it is.
837
00:56:56,621 --> 00:57:00,917
He travelled with us and he would
always arrive at the hotels...
838
00:57:00,917 --> 00:57:02,627
in Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte.
839
00:57:02,627 --> 00:57:06,131
And I only later found out why Kaiser
travelled with the team.
840
00:57:09,175 --> 00:57:12,512
My currency was what most people
had difficulty getting hold of.
841
00:57:13,721 --> 00:57:19,018
I found out what you needed and
would exploit that need.
842
00:57:20,645 --> 00:57:23,106
Your weak point. What you like.
843
00:57:26,067 --> 00:57:28,486
He had the whole
Botafogo tracksuit...
844
00:57:28,486 --> 00:57:31,197
so when he got to the hotel, he would
say: "I play for Botafogo."
845
00:57:33,741 --> 00:57:35,994
He would take 5 or 6 women...
846
00:57:35,994 --> 00:57:38,830
and put them up in the same hotel
as the Botafogo team.
847
00:57:46,004 --> 00:57:50,425
So, he puts them all on the 5th
floor and we're on the 6th.
848
00:57:51,176 --> 00:57:54,387
You can't keep guard at midnight.
You wouldn't sleep.
849
00:57:59,476 --> 00:58:01,019
When the director said...
850
00:58:01,019 --> 00:58:02,896
"You have to be in bed by 10pm",
we'd say "Great."
851
00:58:02,896 --> 00:58:05,106
Nobody complained at all.
Nobody moaned.
852
00:58:09,110 --> 00:58:11,279
He just went down one floor...
853
00:58:11,946 --> 00:58:15,533
and the players would have their orgy.
854
00:58:23,082 --> 00:58:25,126
I found out about this many years later.
855
00:58:25,126 --> 00:58:27,837
If I'd known, I would have kicked
them out of the hotel.
856
00:58:29,672 --> 00:58:31,341
He acted as a pimp.
857
00:58:32,926 --> 00:58:35,553
He earned money bringing
women to the players.
858
00:58:37,055 --> 00:58:38,890
Whatever women the guys wanted...
859
00:58:38,890 --> 00:58:41,851
I would bring to them no problem.
860
00:58:41,851 --> 00:58:44,687
Whether it was for directors or players...
861
00:58:46,773 --> 00:58:48,316
If you have money or women...
862
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:50,652
you're the man.
863
00:58:51,903 --> 00:58:54,239
Emil knew about the whole situation...
864
00:58:54,239 --> 00:58:59,536
and he couldn't say anything because
if it got out to the press...
865
00:58:59,536 --> 00:59:01,287
it would become a global scandal.
866
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,207
Because we knew that he arranged
women for Emil.
867
00:59:06,398 --> 00:59:08,810
He's up with God now because
he died a long time ago...
868
00:59:08,810 --> 00:59:10,248
but everybody knew that he supplied him.
869
00:59:11,793 --> 00:59:14,388
My loan with Emil ended up
getting renewed.
870
00:59:15,451 --> 00:59:16,219
All the time.
871
00:59:16,219 --> 00:59:18,562
It would end and he would renew it.
It would end and he'd renew it.
872
00:59:18,562 --> 00:59:21,260
You've spoken to serious guys...
873
00:59:21,260 --> 00:59:23,612
Alexandre Torres, Bebeto...
874
00:59:23,614 --> 00:59:26,214
all the rest played for Kaiser FC.
875
00:59:26,805 --> 00:59:29,306
I think KFC in the USA was named after me.
876
00:59:30,546 --> 00:59:32,476
Director, scout...
877
00:59:33,461 --> 00:59:34,794
whoremonger...
878
00:59:34,794 --> 00:59:36,094
he was everything imaginable.
879
00:59:36,094 --> 00:59:37,492
But he didn't play.
880
00:59:39,895 --> 00:59:41,923
I've slept with older women for money.
881
00:59:41,923 --> 00:59:44,799
When I was 20 and they were 45, 50, 60...
882
00:59:44,799 --> 00:59:48,363
I've slept with a 70 year old. With no Viagra.
883
00:59:48,363 --> 00:59:50,647
Smashing a pretty girl is easy.
884
00:59:50,647 --> 00:59:53,208
Try sleeping with a granny and getting her off.
885
00:59:53,208 --> 00:59:54,631
You've got to have talent.
886
00:59:59,279 --> 01:00:00,973
Sex is my hobby.
887
01:00:01,642 --> 01:00:04,616
My dream as a little boy wasn't
to go to Disneyland.
888
01:00:04,616 --> 01:00:07,156
It was to go to Amsterdam,
the land of smut.
889
01:00:07,649 --> 01:00:08,476
What would I do?
890
01:00:10,110 --> 01:00:12,651
Go on the ghost train? Meet Mickey?
891
01:00:12,651 --> 01:00:14,478
That doesn't turn me on.
892
01:00:14,478 --> 01:00:15,920
I'd rather meet Mickey's wife.
893
01:00:17,101 --> 01:00:18,101
Minnie.
894
01:00:18,531 --> 01:00:21,229
If she's hot, I'll give her a squirt.
895
01:00:21,229 --> 01:00:23,356
My hobby is sex.
896
01:00:23,356 --> 01:00:26,724
I have a disease like they
say Michael Douglas has.
897
01:00:26,724 --> 01:00:29,855
I'm super nice to people I date...
898
01:00:29,855 --> 01:00:34,050
but after three months... Big hug.
See you later.
899
01:00:39,381 --> 01:00:41,773
They're doing a documentary on me.
900
01:00:41,773 --> 01:00:43,314
Interesting.
901
01:00:43,314 --> 01:00:46,826
These English guys came over to make
a documentary about me...
902
01:00:46,826 --> 01:00:50,757
as a trainer and an ex-footballer.
903
01:00:50,757 --> 01:00:53,267
I'm not a teacher.
I'm a personal trainer.
904
01:00:53,267 --> 01:00:55,320
So, I'll get you looking like a Carnival Queen.
905
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:56,734
I'm really keen.
906
01:00:57,534 --> 01:01:00,221
It's charisma.
907
01:01:00,221 --> 01:01:05,020
Women like attention from men.
908
01:01:05,020 --> 01:01:08,532
A lot of my students have ugly
faces but great bodies,
909
01:01:08,532 --> 01:01:10,513
but you're really pretty.
910
01:01:10,513 --> 01:01:13,659
He gave them that.
He was a sweet talker.
911
01:01:13,659 --> 01:01:17,752
He's an upbeat and extrovert guy.
912
01:01:17,752 --> 01:01:19,195
What woman doesn't like that?
913
01:01:19,512 --> 01:01:22,411
And if you've got ten friends,
you can bring them too.
914
01:01:23,862 --> 01:01:25,540
He is like an illusionist.
915
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:33,617
If you let him talk, he would very quickly
make you believe his story.
916
01:01:33,617 --> 01:01:37,658
Going to Bulgaria, a woman
costs as much as a coffee.
917
01:01:37,658 --> 01:01:41,666
He has enough stories to fill
a book. A thick book.
918
01:01:41,666 --> 01:01:43,080
Oh parties...
919
01:01:44,064 --> 01:01:46,485
you know with the Italian Prime Minister...
920
01:01:46,485 --> 01:01:47,665
lots of orgies.
921
01:01:47,665 --> 01:01:50,049
Kaiser has a lot of stories.
922
01:01:50,049 --> 01:01:52,371
I think those stories create the legend.
923
01:01:52,371 --> 01:01:57,707
"I went to the Oscars after-party
at Robert De Niro's house."
924
01:01:57,707 --> 01:02:00,311
He went out with Ivete Sangalo,
they had dinner.
925
01:02:00,311 --> 01:02:04,403
His stories got players dreaming.
926
01:02:04,403 --> 01:02:07,193
I think that's why people liked him so much.
927
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,147
When I arrived at Ajaccio...
928
01:02:15,148 --> 01:02:16,493
He would always talk about Ajaccio.
929
01:02:16,493 --> 01:02:18,762
It was my first week in Corsica...
930
01:02:20,153 --> 01:02:22,414
They gave me a girl as a present.
931
01:02:22,414 --> 01:02:23,893
When I got to El Paso...
932
01:02:25,339 --> 01:02:28,609
They gave me a beautiful blonde
prostitute as a present.
933
01:02:28,609 --> 01:02:31,712
"I had played such a good game..."
934
01:02:31,712 --> 01:02:34,848
"the chairman sent for me and said..."
935
01:02:34,848 --> 01:02:36,182
"here's my Ferrari..."
936
01:02:37,498 --> 01:02:38,671
"and my secretary."
937
01:02:39,172 --> 01:02:40,656
"Beautiful, beautiful..."
938
01:02:40,656 --> 01:02:41,833
"a beautiful blonde."
939
01:02:42,900 --> 01:02:46,482
And the younger players who didn't know him...
940
01:02:46,838 --> 01:02:49,040
all ears waiting for what he was going to say.
941
01:02:50,475 --> 01:02:51,742
"What's it like driving a Ferrari?"
942
01:02:51,742 --> 01:02:53,250
"I'll tell you later."
943
01:02:56,150 --> 01:02:58,146
If I'm not mistaken...
944
01:02:58,146 --> 01:03:00,548
she acted in a famous French soap.
945
01:03:01,861 --> 01:03:04,664
With Kaiser, I don't know when
he's telling the truth.
946
01:03:04,664 --> 01:03:06,621
I couldn't communicate with her.
947
01:03:08,979 --> 01:03:11,159
If you tell the same lie four times…
948
01:03:11,159 --> 01:03:12,472
it becomes the truth.
949
01:03:15,302 --> 01:03:18,244
"So, I drove up to the mountains..."
950
01:03:18,672 --> 01:03:20,958
We went from motel to motel...
951
01:03:20,958 --> 01:03:23,730
He was engrossed in
his own stories...
952
01:03:23,730 --> 01:03:27,267
that you'd feel bad calling him out...
953
01:03:27,267 --> 01:03:29,091
"No Kaiser, you're lying mate."
954
01:03:29,091 --> 01:03:30,270
"You're lying."
955
01:03:32,845 --> 01:03:34,405
We managed to get in somewhere...
956
01:03:34,405 --> 01:03:37,066
and I paid upfront.
957
01:03:37,066 --> 01:03:38,356
"she was loving it."
958
01:03:38,356 --> 01:03:40,892
"And I was wanting to seal the deal..."
959
01:03:40,892 --> 01:03:42,782
"She signalled that she couldn't fuck me..."
960
01:03:42,782 --> 01:03:44,673
"because she was on her period."
961
01:03:44,673 --> 01:03:45,755
"On the rag."
962
01:03:45,755 --> 01:03:48,708
I remember exactly how he said it...
963
01:03:48,708 --> 01:03:50,387
"On the rag."
964
01:03:50,387 --> 01:03:53,738
"We can't play today because the
pitch is waterlogged."
965
01:03:53,738 --> 01:03:55,790
And the lads were like "Oh what an anti-climax."
966
01:04:01,863 --> 01:04:03,628
"So, I mimed to her..."
967
01:04:03,628 --> 01:04:06,542
"So, I tell her that as I'm such
a good sportsman..."
968
01:04:06,542 --> 01:04:08,361
"That as I'm such a good sportsman..."
969
01:04:08,361 --> 01:04:10,385
"When the pitch is wet, I can shoot
from behind the goal."
970
01:04:10,385 --> 01:04:14,367
"When the pitch is wet, I can shoot
from behind the goal."
971
01:04:18,921 --> 01:04:21,146
The lads couldn't contain themselves.
972
01:04:21,146 --> 01:04:24,126
Everyone cheering like it was a goal.
973
01:04:28,105 --> 01:04:29,685
How are you going to translate that?
974
01:04:30,886 --> 01:04:33,021
That definitely didn't happen.
975
01:04:48,532 --> 01:04:51,402
A good story is
a powerful tool,
976
01:04:51,402 --> 01:04:54,005
especially if it's told convincingly...
977
01:04:54,005 --> 01:04:56,718
to a young starstruck fan...
978
01:04:56,718 --> 01:04:58,542
who wants to become the girlfriend...
979
01:04:58,542 --> 01:05:00,849
of the famous Carlos Kaiser.
980
01:05:03,207 --> 01:05:05,454
He isn't Kaiser to me...
981
01:05:05,454 --> 01:05:07,233
he is Carlos Henrique to me.
982
01:05:07,233 --> 01:05:10,970
I think I'm the only person who calls him 'Carlos'.
983
01:05:10,970 --> 01:05:14,252
Back then he was a Vasco player.
984
01:05:14,252 --> 01:05:18,567
It's incredible. I never saw Carlos
train, I never saw Carlos play...
985
01:05:18,567 --> 01:05:20,080
unless it was on video.
986
01:05:23,955 --> 01:05:25,828
And I think it was Vasco vs Botafogo.
987
01:05:25,828 --> 01:05:29,398
He came on from the bench, dribbled...
988
01:05:30,100 --> 01:05:31,934
and scored an amazing goal.
989
01:05:31,934 --> 01:05:33,364
Goal for Vasco.
990
01:05:33,364 --> 01:05:35,278
Take another look at that great skill by Henrique!
991
01:05:35,278 --> 01:05:36,682
Perfect run...
992
01:05:36,682 --> 01:05:38,981
followed by a clinical finish. 1-0 to Vasco.
993
01:05:39,937 --> 01:05:42,180
He always said that
he was a centre-half.
994
01:05:42,180 --> 01:05:45,146
He would say that he scored a
winning goal for Vasco.
995
01:05:46,121 --> 01:05:47,740
They had a centre-half called Henrique...
996
01:05:48,726 --> 01:05:50,952
and since he is called Carlos Henrique it might have been him.
997
01:05:52,508 --> 01:05:55,369
There was another Henrique
who played for Vasco and looked like him.
998
01:05:56,115 --> 01:05:58,665
He had the same physique as him.
999
01:05:58,665 --> 01:06:02,283
He gave me a VHS tape and I
think I still have that tape.
1000
01:06:02,283 --> 01:06:04,994
I can show it to you,
but it's priceless...
1001
01:06:05,772 --> 01:06:07,663
because not even he has it anymore.
1002
01:06:07,663 --> 01:06:09,042
Don't take this the wrong way...
1003
01:06:09,042 --> 01:06:11,712
but are you sure it was actually
him scoring the goal?
1004
01:06:12,246 --> 01:06:13,246
Yes.
1005
01:06:14,247 --> 01:06:15,247
I'm sure.
1006
01:06:16,087 --> 01:06:18,600
How do you mean? I didn't get the question.
1007
01:06:24,984 --> 01:06:28,993
He had a DVD of his highlights.
1008
01:06:28,993 --> 01:06:30,286
I don't know how.
1009
01:06:30,775 --> 01:06:33,155
He never showed me, but he told me
that there are goals of his on it.
1010
01:06:34,134 --> 01:06:35,602
I don't understand.
1011
01:06:36,083 --> 01:06:38,928
I don't know if he put his head
on somebody else's body.
1012
01:06:40,985 --> 01:06:42,720
Pretending
to be a Vasco player...
1013
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:44,467
is relatively easy.
1014
01:06:44,467 --> 01:06:47,742
Actually becoming one is
another thing entirely.
1015
01:06:48,765 --> 01:06:51,146
Especially at a time when Vasco's players...
1016
01:06:51,146 --> 01:06:53,937
made up a large part of the national side.
1017
01:06:55,517 --> 01:06:56,765
He was at Vasco with me too.
1018
01:06:57,362 --> 01:06:58,578
Same kind of faking.
1019
01:06:59,357 --> 01:07:01,770
I already knew Kaiser from the Flamengo days.
1020
01:07:02,182 --> 01:07:05,742
But I didn't say anything. When he came there
I didn't say anything.
1021
01:07:08,011 --> 01:07:13,345
He turned up at Vasco with another player
who he was friends with.
1022
01:07:13,345 --> 01:07:17,060
We began a friendship with him...
1023
01:07:17,060 --> 01:07:22,018
and we started to encourage him
to work and train at Vasco...
1024
01:07:22,018 --> 01:07:25,533
something which never happened
because he was always injured.
1025
01:07:30,755 --> 01:07:33,421
After six
months of Kaiser's injuries,
1026
01:07:33,421 --> 01:07:35,899
Vasco had exhausted all
the traditional methods...
1027
01:07:35,899 --> 01:07:37,356
of treatment.
1028
01:07:37,356 --> 01:07:41,432
The only thing left now,
was divine intervention.
1029
01:07:42,859 --> 01:07:44,908
The black magic priest Pai Santana...
1030
01:07:44,908 --> 01:07:48,319
performed rituals on me so
my bruises would heal.
1031
01:07:50,277 --> 01:07:52,359
Because we wanted to get him on the pitch...
1032
01:07:52,359 --> 01:07:57,089
we would ask Pai Santana
to call upon the Gods...
1033
01:07:57,089 --> 01:07:59,714
to get Kaiser to train.
1034
01:08:00,871 --> 01:08:05,053
Pai Santana had all his spells.
1035
01:08:05,342 --> 01:08:07,032
And he went to work on him there.
1036
01:08:07,922 --> 01:08:10,189
I already knew he was faking it.
1037
01:08:10,746 --> 01:08:14,686
I went up to him and said:
"Take your money, mate."
1038
01:08:14,686 --> 01:08:18,156
"There's nothing wrong with me. Take your money
and don't bother doing your thing..."
1039
01:08:18,156 --> 01:08:20,803
"I intend to stay injured
for the rest of my life."
1040
01:08:22,691 --> 01:08:24,562
That was such a funny day.
1041
01:08:25,762 --> 01:08:27,898
Pai Santana had failed.
1042
01:08:27,898 --> 01:08:31,524
Kaiser had even managed
to defeat the gods,
1043
01:08:31,524 --> 01:08:34,460
but he was now a Vasco
player and he wanted...
1044
01:08:34,460 --> 01:08:35,772
to let everyone know.
1045
01:08:35,772 --> 01:08:39,284
Not on the pitch of
course, but on Brazil's...
1046
01:08:39,284 --> 01:08:41,497
biggest football analysis program.
1047
01:08:41,497 --> 01:08:42,587
Mesa Redonda,
1048
01:08:43,466 --> 01:08:46,261
broadcast to millions every Sunday night.
1049
01:08:47,217 --> 01:08:49,341
This was primetime television.
1050
01:08:49,341 --> 01:08:51,405
Only the best would appear on this show.
1051
01:08:52,561 --> 01:08:55,942
I spent 14 years on that time-slot.
1052
01:08:57,009 --> 01:09:01,935
At the table during Mesa Redonda
there were a lot of guests.
1053
01:09:01,935 --> 01:09:06,202
The big players like Romario,
Edmundo, Renato.
1054
01:09:06,202 --> 01:09:08,477
They never refused to come on.
1055
01:09:08,477 --> 01:09:10,702
So, Carlos Kaiser is a footballer.
1056
01:09:10,702 --> 01:09:12,971
He had a stint at Vasco...
1057
01:09:12,971 --> 01:09:15,565
and he's still contracted to
a club in Corsica.
1058
01:09:15,565 --> 01:09:21,527
So, I don't remember that character.
Do you have a video?
1059
01:09:21,527 --> 01:09:24,752
I'd been at Ajaccio for two seasons
but I wanted to come back here.
1060
01:09:24,752 --> 01:09:26,320
That's when I came to Vasco.
1061
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:30,391
I researched him. He said he
played for Flamengo.
1062
01:09:30,391 --> 01:09:33,772
How would I not have heard of him if
he'd played for Flamengo?
1063
01:09:33,772 --> 01:09:36,953
"So, we finally found a place, and she
turned to me and said..."
1064
01:09:36,953 --> 01:09:38,452
"she was in that period."
1065
01:09:38,452 --> 01:09:41,510
"It's so sad that period that
girls go through."
1066
01:09:41,510 --> 01:09:44,235
There's a term that football
commentators use which is...
1067
01:09:44,235 --> 01:09:46,115
"a player the fans don't notice."
1068
01:09:46,115 --> 01:09:49,045
Kaiser was never noticed by the fans.
1069
01:09:49,045 --> 01:09:51,648
"When the pitch is wet, I can shoot
from behind the goal."
1070
01:09:53,283 --> 01:09:56,748
Nowadays if a proposal like
that came to us...
1071
01:09:56,748 --> 01:09:59,478
we'd go on Google and investigate.
1072
01:10:37,195 --> 01:10:40,323
We're at the Clube dos Macacos in Horto...
1073
01:10:40,323 --> 01:10:42,274
in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro.
1074
01:10:42,274 --> 01:10:47,971
and it's a very famous club where people
come to play football at the weekend.
1075
01:10:47,971 --> 01:10:50,488
Not that many people come here...
1076
01:10:50,488 --> 01:10:55,786
but it was somewhere Kaiser
used to come a lot.
1077
01:10:58,361 --> 01:11:02,438
When I went to France in 1986
I came back for the holidays.
1078
01:11:02,438 --> 01:11:06,497
My brother was living in my apartment
and was good friends with Kaiser...
1079
01:11:06,497 --> 01:11:09,381
and he started to get close to me...
1080
01:11:09,381 --> 01:11:15,203
and asked if I had a souvenir from
Ajaccio like a shirt or a card...
1081
01:11:15,203 --> 01:11:18,540
something that he could
relate to football.
1082
01:11:18,540 --> 01:11:22,360
Then we became friends and
went to nightclubs.
1083
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:27,277
And he started saying that he was
an Ajaccio player with me.
1084
01:11:30,614 --> 01:11:36,536
And it was right where he took those
photos as if he were training at Ajaccio.
1085
01:11:37,977 --> 01:11:40,763
You can see in those photos that
it's exactly this same pitch.
1086
01:11:40,763 --> 01:11:44,578
Some things have changed but it's mostly
the same with all the trees.
1087
01:11:45,885 --> 01:11:49,016
Anybody in the industry would
know that it was a fake.
1088
01:11:49,638 --> 01:11:51,774
First of all, he's wearing a match shirt.
1089
01:11:51,774 --> 01:11:55,867
A training shirt isn't for a match. You're
not going to train with a match shirt.
1090
01:11:56,734 --> 01:11:59,115
Obviously, a professional footballer
would look at the pictures...
1091
01:11:59,115 --> 01:12:00,738
and just see him in the photo.
1092
01:12:00,738 --> 01:12:03,995
It looks kind of weird
because at training...
1093
01:12:03,995 --> 01:12:06,331
you usually have loads of players around.
1094
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:12,408
All the little tricks and mannerisms
the professional players had...
1095
01:12:12,408 --> 01:12:16,124
he was already using.
1096
01:12:16,124 --> 01:12:19,627
Let's imagine that he was
studying for a degree.
1097
01:12:19,627 --> 01:12:25,452
He would have nailed the theory
side of being a footballer.
1098
01:12:28,210 --> 01:12:31,536
Really funny. Him calling for the ball.
1099
01:12:32,470 --> 01:12:35,362
Pass the fucking ball!
1100
01:12:43,325 --> 01:12:48,163
From now on I would rather
tell the complete truth.
1101
01:12:49,284 --> 01:12:54,358
Kaiser never set foot in Ajaccio,
not in the city or the airport.
1102
01:13:18,296 --> 01:13:21,511
After the first few recordings we did...
1103
01:13:21,511 --> 01:13:25,198
he called me the following day
and asked if you guys...
1104
01:13:25,198 --> 01:13:28,156
had actually come and done
an interview with me.
1105
01:13:28,156 --> 01:13:31,242
I told him I had and that I'd told the truth.
1106
01:13:31,242 --> 01:13:35,202
I have my own reputation to think about,
I worked and lived there for five years...
1107
01:13:35,783 --> 01:13:40,840
and I can't tarnish my name to
promote Carlos Kaiser's lie.
1108
01:13:40,841 --> 01:13:43,546
He got really pissed off
and didn't call me again.
1109
01:13:51,116 --> 01:13:53,343
He denies it now so if he
doesn't admit that fact...
1110
01:13:55,099 --> 01:13:57,167
I'm not going to be the one to...
1111
01:13:59,586 --> 01:14:00,830
dispute that.
1112
01:14:00,830 --> 01:14:02,108
Everybody knows.
1113
01:14:02,742 --> 01:14:06,210
I was taken by a Brazilian called
Fabio Barros, Fabinho.
1114
01:14:06,210 --> 01:14:07,875
It was a Brazilian that recommended me.
1115
01:14:09,675 --> 01:14:12,221
Whom I don't even feel
like naming anymore.
1116
01:14:13,948 --> 01:14:15,694
He recommended me.
1117
01:14:16,484 --> 01:14:18,191
He oversaw the deal.
1118
01:14:18,191 --> 01:14:20,608
And I ended up going to Corsica.
To Ajaccio.
1119
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:29,971
I let him live out
his fantasy here in Rio ...
1120
01:14:29,971 --> 01:14:35,045
but to say that he was there is
too much. I can't.
1121
01:14:35,045 --> 01:14:37,252
But I think he still has it stuck in his head.
1122
01:14:37,252 --> 01:14:38,579
He still believes it.
1123
01:14:41,388 --> 01:14:43,671
When it came to...
1124
01:14:44,998 --> 01:14:48,959
getting the chance to appear alongside
the best players of the era.
1125
01:14:48,959 --> 01:14:51,027
He wanted that.
1126
01:14:51,027 --> 01:14:53,758
This is Kaiser speaking.
From Rio de Janeiro.
1127
01:15:00,958 --> 01:15:04,366
If he didn't want to talk about
Ajaccio he should just say so...
1128
01:15:04,366 --> 01:15:06,883
"I don't want to talk about that."
1129
01:15:06,883 --> 01:15:08,483
And that would be that.
1130
01:15:12,791 --> 01:15:16,013
I think Corsica is one of the most
beautiful places on earth.
1131
01:15:16,013 --> 01:15:18,198
He would ask me what life
was like in Corsica…
1132
01:15:18,198 --> 01:15:19,397
what the diet was like.
1133
01:15:19,397 --> 01:15:21,382
What the climate was like, what
the club's situation was.
1134
01:15:23,655 --> 01:15:27,051
I respect and admire Corsica.
I think Corsicans...
1135
01:15:28,543 --> 01:15:31,197
are amazing. An oppressed people.
1136
01:15:34,192 --> 01:15:36,811
He could eventually use
that information...
1137
01:15:36,811 --> 01:15:40,842
in sporting interviews
that he might give.
1138
01:15:40,842 --> 01:15:43,588
I was sold to Ajaccio in Corsica.
1139
01:15:43,588 --> 01:15:45,325
In French it's: 'Ajaccienne'
1140
01:15:48,056 --> 01:15:50,589
I have nothing to say about
Corsica and Ajaccio.
1141
01:15:51,857 --> 01:15:55,054
It's a historical city.
1142
01:15:55,054 --> 01:15:57,270
An innately tough people.
1143
01:15:57,270 --> 01:16:00,895
A people that were born
fighting for their values.
1144
01:16:04,241 --> 01:16:07,103
Ajaccio has nothing.
Ajaccio is a dead island.
1145
01:16:07,103 --> 01:16:09,331
Speaking about Corsica is difficult.
1146
01:16:09,331 --> 01:16:11,732
"How do they speak there?"
1147
01:16:11,732 --> 01:16:12,764
Comment ca-va?
1148
01:16:12,764 --> 01:16:13,764
Tu va bien?
1149
01:16:13,764 --> 01:16:14,333
Comment ca-va?
1150
01:16:14,341 --> 01:16:15,156
Tu va bien?
1151
01:16:15,156 --> 01:16:16,936
"Je t'aime. I love you"
1152
01:16:16,936 --> 01:16:19,894
Which was the phrase he'd use
with the ladies. "Je t'aime."
1153
01:16:20,484 --> 01:16:21,919
Speaking about Corsica is...
1154
01:16:23,432 --> 01:16:24,677
a double edged sword.
1155
01:16:27,747 --> 01:16:30,928
The moment he asked for the card
I knew what it was for...
1156
01:16:30,928 --> 01:16:32,551
he'd already told me...
1157
01:16:32,551 --> 01:16:36,630
"That card is one of the most important
documents I have in my wallet."
1158
01:16:36,630 --> 01:16:38,913
He knew that was like a status symbol.
1159
01:16:38,913 --> 01:16:41,861
It was like having a footballing contract.
1160
01:16:51,220 --> 01:16:54,423
He knew that in Corsica and in
the south of France…
1161
01:16:54,423 --> 01:16:56,831
there was an Italian influence
from the Corsican Mafia.
1162
01:16:57,148 --> 01:16:58,478
I can't talk about the Corsicans...
1163
01:16:58,939 --> 01:17:02,548
because they'll send somebody
to assassinate me.
1164
01:17:02,548 --> 01:17:06,416
So, he made up that Mancini was
part of the Corsican mafia.
1165
01:17:06,416 --> 01:17:08,665
That's all made up.
That's not true.
1166
01:17:08,665 --> 01:17:10,584
That's a story created in his head.
1167
01:17:15,033 --> 01:17:16,759
It's a team that always fought.
1168
01:17:18,216 --> 01:17:20,216
A team that even in defeat...
1169
01:17:20,216 --> 01:17:22,348
the players would give
everything to win.
1170
01:17:24,662 --> 01:17:25,662
I think Corsica...
1171
01:17:27,152 --> 01:17:28,152
is another world.
1172
01:17:29,321 --> 01:17:30,321
Understood?
1173
01:17:31,934 --> 01:17:36,054
I can guarantee you that he
benefited a lot more than I did...
1174
01:17:36,054 --> 01:17:39,024
from having played in Corsica.
1175
01:17:39,302 --> 01:17:41,593
I didn't get onto the programmes
he did in Rio...
1176
01:17:41,593 --> 01:17:43,451
or go to the places where he went.
1177
01:17:43,451 --> 01:17:48,030
And then he gave one of the most
famous commentators in Brazil...
1178
01:17:48,030 --> 01:17:50,732
the Ajaccio shirt which I'd given
to him as a present.
1179
01:17:54,847 --> 01:17:59,808
You could even say he was the Fabinho
here in Brazil that I never was.
1180
01:18:04,579 --> 01:18:05,411
It's difficult.
1181
01:18:07,057 --> 01:18:08,692
You can't understand humans.
1182
01:18:12,874 --> 01:18:15,404
I took part in this documentary
to tell the truth.
1183
01:18:15,944 --> 01:18:17,428
This is a documentary about the truth.
1184
01:18:18,568 --> 01:18:22,027
If you want to talk about a genuine person
I'll talk about Alexandre Couto.
1185
01:18:22,027 --> 01:18:25,350
"Alex, that guy never plays. I already
knew that was going to happen..."
1186
01:18:29,176 --> 01:18:30,861
Everything Alexandre says is true.
1187
01:18:31,790 --> 01:18:33,221
He speaks the truth.
1188
01:18:33,749 --> 01:18:35,242
He's not two-faced.
1189
01:18:35,242 --> 01:18:38,958
It was like a wing of protection
around Kaiser.
1190
01:18:39,403 --> 01:18:42,629
It's authentic. Alexandre is genuine.
He's not two-faced.
1191
01:18:55,275 --> 01:18:57,346
Was Kaiser ever at Ajaccio?
1192
01:18:58,141 --> 01:18:58,683
Never.
1193
01:19:11,808 --> 01:19:13,034
He never played for Ajaccio.
1194
01:19:15,103 --> 01:19:17,786
I did have a conversation with
Alexandre after the first interview he did.
1195
01:19:17,786 --> 01:19:19,849
When he said that you guys
wanted to speak with me.
1196
01:19:19,849 --> 01:19:22,597
And I said "Alexandre, there's only one
way I'm doing that interview."
1197
01:19:22,597 --> 01:19:25,789
"Me telling the truth as far as I know it."
1198
01:19:25,789 --> 01:19:29,765
"I'm not going to be saying things that
really didn't happen there."
1199
01:19:29,765 --> 01:19:32,231
Every player knows that story is a lie.
1200
01:19:32,843 --> 01:19:36,609
Especially because they know
my story and Fabinho's story.
1201
01:19:36,609 --> 01:19:39,861
So, they all know he was
never at Ajaccio.
1202
01:19:39,867 --> 01:19:41,540
I love Kaiser to bits.
1203
01:19:41,540 --> 01:19:45,116
That's the truth. He became a great
friend for many years.
1204
01:19:45,828 --> 01:19:50,993
And we've always gone out of our
way to indulge his fantasy.
1205
01:19:50,993 --> 01:19:56,483
He lives off that because his daily
bread are these football stories.
1206
01:19:56,483 --> 01:19:58,173
He lives off that.
1207
01:19:58,173 --> 01:20:02,102
So, we sometimes play along
with his fantasy...
1208
01:20:02,102 --> 01:20:07,203
Kaiser is a football fan. He wanted to be
a footballer his whole life.
1209
01:20:07,203 --> 01:20:10,422
And there comes a time when
people have to tell the truth.
1210
01:20:10,422 --> 01:20:12,023
What's true and what isn't.
1211
01:20:12,735 --> 01:20:14,237
What he did and didn't do.
1212
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:34,328
Kaiser. are you
a proud man?
1213
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:36,640
No.
1214
01:20:38,353 --> 01:20:39,437
If I was proud...
1215
01:20:40,816 --> 01:20:43,213
I wouldn't be showing the
world my reality...
1216
01:20:44,523 --> 01:20:45,523
which is very different...
1217
01:20:46,888 --> 01:20:48,895
from when I was in football.
1218
01:20:53,299 --> 01:20:56,351
I'm very damaged.
I'm a very damaged person.
1219
01:20:58,664 --> 01:21:01,467
That's maybe why I've lived other
people's lives so much.
1220
01:21:02,090 --> 01:21:03,090
Of the players.
1221
01:21:05,605 --> 01:21:08,430
It was so I didn't have to stop
and think about my life.
1222
01:21:08,430 --> 01:21:10,457
because if I stopped to
think about my life...
1223
01:21:11,302 --> 01:21:13,093
I think I would have done something stupid.
1224
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:17,536
When I was ten my dream
was to play football.
1225
01:21:19,758 --> 01:21:22,850
But I wanted to be a footballer to
make money for myself...
1226
01:21:27,388 --> 01:21:30,908
to get out of the dump that I lived in.
1227
01:21:32,821 --> 01:21:37,325
There was so much adversity and
so much back-stabbing.
1228
01:21:39,683 --> 01:21:41,819
You either become a scammer or a sucker.
1229
01:21:44,621 --> 01:21:45,912
My adoptive mum was an alcoholic.
1230
01:21:47,691 --> 01:21:51,937
She died of cirrhosis and
she weighed 200 kilos.
1231
01:21:55,719 --> 01:21:58,477
And then I was left with
two elderly aunts...
1232
01:22:00,657 --> 01:22:01,769
very old who were...
1233
01:22:10,578 --> 01:22:12,580
who were cleaning ladies.
1234
01:22:17,852 --> 01:22:22,684
So then I had to take football a bit
more seriously to bring money home...
1235
01:22:22,700 --> 01:22:26,288
so those two women wouldn't suffer.
1236
01:22:32,561 --> 01:22:36,921
Then all of a sudden a
girl tells me she's pregnant...
1237
01:22:39,991 --> 01:22:43,149
and my son was born even without living with me.
1238
01:22:46,351 --> 01:22:47,999
I didn't give my son any love.
1239
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,212
I don't think I deserve to
be anybody's father.
1240
01:22:54,490 --> 01:22:57,836
I don't deserve to be
anybody's son or father.
1241
01:23:01,128 --> 01:23:03,217
I tried to be a normal guy.
I tried to get married.
1242
01:23:05,510 --> 01:23:07,376
I tried to have a family life.
1243
01:23:09,117 --> 01:23:10,824
Something I didn't have
when I was young.
1244
01:23:15,434 --> 01:23:17,080
And then my son dies.
1245
01:23:18,838 --> 01:23:21,351
Then I get married and my wife dies.
1246
01:23:21,351 --> 01:23:24,021
I get married to another woman and she dies.
1247
01:23:24,021 --> 01:23:27,001
I wake up one day with no sight in one eye.
1248
01:23:29,026 --> 01:23:30,026
Fuck.
1249
01:23:33,475 --> 01:23:35,119
In Buddhism they would say...
1250
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:39,902
that I lost my vision in order to
see the world a different way.
1251
01:23:43,060 --> 01:23:44,862
People have an image that's completely...
1252
01:23:46,530 --> 01:23:47,865
different from the reality.
1253
01:23:50,290 --> 01:23:53,515
Carlos Henrique is a man.
Carlos Kaiser is a character.
1254
01:23:56,007 --> 01:23:58,978
Carlos Kaiser only exists because
Renato Gaucho exists.
1255
01:24:01,792 --> 01:24:04,600
My mum didn't do a third of
what that guy did for me.
1256
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,235
And he doesn't do anything
anymore because...
1257
01:24:07,700 --> 01:24:08,770
I hide myself away.
1258
01:24:09,104 --> 01:24:12,461
Like I was hiding from the producers
of this documentary.
1259
01:24:56,742 --> 01:24:59,244
Whenever I can I help Kaiser out...
1260
01:24:59,244 --> 01:25:03,068
he knows that and there's
no ulterior motive.
1261
01:25:05,380 --> 01:25:09,062
There are things that I would avoid
talking about with him...
1262
01:25:09,062 --> 01:25:16,466
for example his son, because I didn't
want to dwell on the subject.
1263
01:25:18,222 --> 01:25:20,986
Him having that photo at home
doesn't surprise me at all...
1264
01:25:20,988 --> 01:25:21,988
being the kind of person he is.
1265
01:25:23,588 --> 01:25:32,785
It's a recognition of the family
that he didn't have.
1266
01:25:33,721 --> 01:25:39,958
That flatters me. That makes me
happy and very moved.
1267
01:25:39,958 --> 01:25:43,884
It's actually difficult to explain it,
to talk about.
1268
01:25:44,211 --> 01:25:47,708
Because not everybody says: "You're
more important than my family."
1269
01:25:51,883 --> 01:25:53,211
I live one day at time.
1270
01:25:54,733 --> 01:25:58,352
Today you've managed to strip me down.
1271
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:03,537
Yesterday I was really pissed off because...
1272
01:26:03,537 --> 01:26:05,995
somebody I thought was a friend
denied something.
1273
01:26:05,995 --> 01:26:08,863
Fine. Everybody has their own
fears. I have mine too.
1274
01:26:09,790 --> 01:26:11,585
I can't be criticised...
1275
01:26:13,380 --> 01:26:15,370
or the friendships I had.
1276
01:26:15,370 --> 01:26:17,838
Something good had to come my way.
1277
01:26:17,838 --> 01:26:20,920
I could have exploited the opportunities.
I didn't harm anybody.
1278
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:24,788
There's not one person. You've interviewed
between 20 to 30 people...
1279
01:26:24,788 --> 01:26:28,995
not one has said that I'm a bad guy,
that I'm a drug addict...
1280
01:26:28,995 --> 01:26:31,180
or that I went into their house and stole.
1281
01:26:31,180 --> 01:26:33,287
I never took anything away from anybody.
1282
01:26:34,029 --> 01:26:35,433
Life stole from me.
1283
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:38,126
I started by losing my mother.
1284
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:44,057
Now people think I took this and that.
1285
01:26:45,149 --> 01:26:47,784
To take such a beating...
1286
01:26:48,291 --> 01:26:49,930
I didn't take anything from anybody.
1287
01:26:49,930 --> 01:26:53,832
I rode my luck. I didn't take anything.
1288
01:26:55,939 --> 01:26:58,476
That's all I took.
I took my luck.
1289
01:26:59,061 --> 01:27:00,270
Nothing from anybody.
1290
01:27:01,363 --> 01:27:03,509
They took something important
away from me.
1291
01:27:03,509 --> 01:27:04,728
They took my mother away.
1292
01:27:04,729 --> 01:27:07,510
They took away the woman I married.
They took my son away.
1293
01:27:07,510 --> 01:27:09,496
I don't make anybody answer for that.
1294
01:27:09,496 --> 01:27:12,913
I don't make God answer for it. I don't
ask my friends to answer for it.
1295
01:27:13,498 --> 01:27:14,543
Fuck!
1296
01:27:14,543 --> 01:27:18,103
Why do I have to suffer so much?
1297
01:27:30,394 --> 01:27:34,475
That Carlos Kaiser who went
out to the best places...
1298
01:27:37,324 --> 01:27:40,836
that guy was built on strong legs.
1299
01:27:44,191 --> 01:27:46,262
Because Carlos Henrique...
1300
01:27:49,931 --> 01:27:51,487
jumped over a lot of hurdles.
1301
01:27:52,148 --> 01:27:53,212
Lots.
1302
01:27:56,855 --> 01:27:58,799
I want success for those people
who believed...
1303
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:02,155
in my story.
1304
01:28:05,898 --> 01:28:10,339
And that my story serves as a positive
example, not a negative one.
1305
01:28:11,861 --> 01:28:12,861
For the world.
1306
01:28:14,457 --> 01:28:17,403
But if you intend to talk...
1307
01:28:19,042 --> 01:28:21,704
tell the truth from beginning to end.
1308
01:28:21,704 --> 01:28:25,089
I intended that, so I'm
here ready to be judged.
1309
01:28:25,089 --> 01:28:26,089
Which is difficult.
1310
01:28:30,381 --> 01:28:33,262
It's almost 13 years since this story ended.
1311
01:28:36,688 --> 01:28:38,561
And it's only come out now.
1312
01:28:38,561 --> 01:28:42,746
Never. Not one reporter,
player or director.
1313
01:28:42,746 --> 01:28:46,370
It goes to show how much
these guys respect me...
1314
01:28:46,370 --> 01:28:50,048
that nobody ever put me away.
1315
01:28:50,097 --> 01:28:53,072
Now these stories have come to light.
1316
01:28:58,769 --> 01:29:01,562
I swear on my eyes...
1317
01:29:01,564 --> 01:29:03,006
easily 1000 women.
1318
01:29:09,913 --> 01:29:12,585
You know today is the hardest
day to do this.
1319
01:29:19,764 --> 01:29:23,237
Today was the toughest
day of the documentary.
1320
01:29:25,110 --> 01:29:26,494
It was the day of talking
about my suffering.
1321
01:29:26,494 --> 01:29:27,703
But that's ok.
1322
01:29:31,098 --> 01:29:34,063
If the world has to look into my eyes...
1323
01:29:34,063 --> 01:29:35,741
Here it is.
1324
01:29:58,061 --> 01:30:00,255
It was like a fairy-tale.
1325
01:30:03,845 --> 01:30:08,309
You take a character and let him
live in the football world.
1326
01:30:08,855 --> 01:30:14,458
And what I think is great, is that people
didn't crush the guy's dream.
1327
01:30:19,433 --> 01:30:27,094
A fantastic character who
there are no words to describe.
1328
01:30:27,094 --> 01:30:33,298
He's part of my whole life story.
1329
01:30:33,689 --> 01:30:36,693
And he has a black brother here.
1330
01:30:43,639 --> 01:30:45,082
Just a moment please.
1331
01:30:48,282 --> 01:30:49,882
I didn't know he was having problems.
1332
01:31:18,172 --> 01:31:19,600
Carlos Kaiser is unique.
1333
01:31:20,420 --> 01:31:21,629
He's unique.
1334
01:31:21,629 --> 01:31:24,156
He always has been and
always will be unique.
1335
01:31:24,156 --> 01:31:26,385
Nobody will come close to him.
1336
01:31:26,385 --> 01:31:30,482
He was the greatest footballer
never to have played football.
1337
01:31:30,482 --> 01:31:32,053
In history, without a doubt.
1338
01:31:32,384 --> 01:31:33,384
Unbeatable.
