As Paulinho recalled his final game for Corinthians in his farewell video, the faces of those 45,000 rabid fans came into view and a tidal wave of emotion washed over him. This scene, which became the end of his career, brought tears to his eyes. These tears were tears of nostalgia for the past, of sadness for his soccer career, and of longing for a new life.
Paulinho expressed his gratitude to every team he has played for in his career, which shaped him and made his soccer journey colorful. In Brazilian soccer, his retirement is undoubtedly a great pity, and his legend and tenacity will always light up the path of those who come after him. Chinese fans will no longer be able to witness the "Violent Bird" on the green field, Paulinho's retirement statement, but also let the world football world has lost a fighting spirit of the "violent bird".
