1980s trend: footballers and coaches reimagined in retro AI gallery | OneFootball

A 1980s-style social media trend has taken off, and footballers and coaches have been given retro makeovers. A 27-strong gallery restyles modern faces with big hair, bold moustaches and period outfits.

According to Globo.com, its team used artificial intelligence to turn current photos into images evoking that era. The results focus on hairstyles, facial hair and clothes associated with the decade.

The set features Neymar of Santos, Vinicius Junior and Endrick of Real Madrid, and Casemiro of Inter Miami. Flamengo pair Arrascaeta and Pedro are included, as is Reinaldo of Mirassol.

There is also Calleri of São Paulo, Júnior Santos of Botafogo and Andrés Gómez of Vasco. Corinthians are represented by Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto, with coach Fernando Diniz also appearing.

Coaches and figures from across the game join in, among them Dorival Júnior of São Paulo, Carlo Ancelotti with the Brazil national team and Filipe Luis at Monaco. Others in the mix include Abel Ferreira and Flaco López of Palmeiras, Fred of Atlético-MG, Alan Patrick of Internacional, Kannemann of Grêmio, Rogério Ceni of Bahia, Jair Ventura of Vitória, Kaio Jorge of Cruzeiro, Gabigol of Santos and Hulk of Fluminense.
