As soon as the delegation arrives at the stadiums, staff members stand at the locker room door to greet the players. At Nilton Santos, “Curumyn,” as he is affectionately known, was responsible for this action. When it was Boto’s turn, the Portuguese director gave the staff member a kiss on his bald head. After that, the players shook the masseur’s hand.
