The accusation against Eurico Miranda

An idol of São Caetano, Somália was on the field in the historic decision against Vasco. According to him, the São Paulo team was disadvantaged behind the scenes.

The statement refers to the rescheduled game after the fence collapsed at São Januário. Vasco won the decisive match at the Maracanã 3-1. Somália also praised the structure of São Caetano at the time, comparing the club to a family.

Indecent proposal and health scare

Besides the controversy with Vasco, Somália revealed unusual stories. He shared that while playing for Al Hilal, he received an offer to get a Ferrari in exchange for spending the night with a sheikh.

“They made an indecent proposal”, he reported.

The former athlete also moved audiences by talking about a recent personal drama. He suffered a cerebral venous thrombosis and was at risk of death.

“I was diagnosed with cerebral venous thrombosis, which is a rare case. Today I am well”, he concluded.
