Jose Paulo Bezerra Maciel Junior

When talking about Paulinho, football analysts compare the career of a football player to the heart chart of a sick person. The man then takes off in the list of top players, then disappears into obscurity. Despite the gossip and rumors, the athlete managed to achieve notable success in football. Having played at home, in Europe and Asia, Paulinho is now happy at Barcelona, ​​as he constantly reports on his own Twitter and Instagram.

Jose Paulo Bezerra Maciel Junior (real name of the football player) was born on July 25, 1988 in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo. Sports in the boy's biography appeared at the age of 5, when the parents sent the child to the mini-football section. Noticing the success of the novice athlete, the coaches of the Portuguese team suggested Paulinho to move to a new club.

At the age of 11, the boy's interests changed. Paulinho, who had rarely played on the big field before, became interested in classic football. After a long conversation with his parents, the boy moves to the Pan-di-Asukar club (now the team is called Audax).

Having already made a career, Paulinho recalled that his parents were very supportive of his son's desire to play. Sometimes the dad did not have the money to refuel the car, since the man gave the last savings to the child to travel to the training field. The young man's mother worked as an administrator in a supermarket, and his father, who was about to retire, continued to work in the prefecture of São Paulo.

In 2006, when Paulinho turned 17, the owners of Pan di Asukar agreed to the offer of the Lithuanian club Vilnius to sell the promising Brazilian. By this time, the height of the young man had reached 1.81 m, and his weight was 78 kg. The young man had nothing against moving, the salary in the new team was strikingly different from the income of a novice footballer.

As in Brazil, Paulinho took the position of a central midfielder on the Lithuanian pitch. A successful start at the football club was ended by manifestations of racism. After 8 months of playing for Vilnius, the young man, tired of hearing insults from fans, moved to Poland.

Things were quite different in the Polish "Lodz". The team, coaches and fans made the Brazilian feel welcome. But after 17 matches played by the player in the form of a new club, Paulinho had to leave. The reason for refusing to cooperate with FC Lodz was funding problems. The owners of the team did not pay salaries to the players, so the Brazilian returned home.

The return to their homeland was accompanied by a decadent mood. The man decided to break with football for good, but the Pan di Asukar coaches persuaded the midfielder to return.

The next year, the athlete regained his form, lost during the depression, and gradually entered a more dynamic pace of the game. Paulinho's successes did not go unnoticed. In 2009, the footballer was invited to the Bragantino club, and a year later to Corinthians.

In September of the same year, Paulinho made his debut in the Brazilian national team. The hunt has begun for a promising player. The man received an offer from CSKA and Inter, but refused both clubs. The footballer really liked working with the coach of Corinthians, so the Brazilian did not agree to the transition, even on the most favorable terms.

After 3 years, Paulinho, who noticeably improved his professionalism, decided to change the club. The man's choice fell on Tottenham Hotspur. The reason was again hidden in the coach - the athlete wanted to train under Villash-Boash.

Despite the excellent conditions, Paulinho found it difficult to play with the new team. The man admitted that there were times when he did not want to leave the apartment and was looking for an excuse to skip training. Realizing that he would not benefit the club and could not find a common language with the coach, the man asked for a transfer. Tottenham's management did not mind.

Paulinho continued his club career in China. The transfer cost of the transition was € 14 million. And if in Europe fans treated Paulinho with disdain, in Guangzhou Evergrande the Brazilian became a favorite of football fans.

In 2017, the man almost lost everything he had been striving for for so long. Not familiar with the laws of China, Paulinho starred in an advertisement for a bookmaker organization. The footballer's partner in the video was porn star Aoi Tsukasa (gambling and pornography are prohibited in the Asian country).

The Football Federation insisted on the deportation of the athlete from the country, but the club saved the man. Paulinho paid the fine and publicly admitted that he was wrong.

Soon after the incident, Tite's son (former Corinthians mentor) came to China to watch the midfielder play, whom the coach had not seen in action for 3 years. After this visit, Paulinho again received a call to the Brazilian national team.

During a friendly against Argentina, Messi approached Paulinho and suggested that the player think about moving to Barcelona. The idea was supported by his friend Paulinho Neymar, who in a personal conversation hinted to the midfielder that the athlete would be happy at Barça.

The official offer from the eminent club was not long in coming. The transfer cost of the transition was € 40 million, of which € 7.5 million was paid by Paulinho himself. This decision caused dissatisfaction among Spanish fans, but the midfielder's success at the new club gradually overshadowed all objections.

Leaving the hospitable Asian country, Paulinho, about whose generosity there are many rumors, presented his own driver with a Mercedes-Benz car and a pair of Beats headphones.

Paulinho tries not to talk about his first serious relationship. The man met his beloved, whose name the footballer does not mention in an interview, at the age of 17. Together with the scorer, the girl went to Lithuania and Poland. And after returning to Brazil, Paulinho gave birth to a daughter. The couple broke up soon after.

In 2011, the footballer married Barbara Cartaxo. In the same year, the couple had a daughter. In 2017, the wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The couple named their children Ze Pedro and Sofia.

January 2018 began for Paulinho with an injury to the fifth metatarsal bone. The trouble came during the Spanish Cup quarter-finals against Espanyola. However, the examination showed that the damage was not serious.

In the same month, another Barcelona midfielder, Ivan Rakitic, was responsible for an amusing incident involving Paulinho. In the match Betis - Barcelona, ​​while the coach was giving instructions to the Brazilian, the Croat scored a goal against the opponent.

The man was confused by the unexpected turn. The journalists read on the lips of the coach that he honestly confessed to Paulinho that he had forgotten what he wanted to tell the ward.

During FIFA-2018 in the Serbia-Brazil match, the footballer was recognized as the best player in the meeting. The man scored a goal after a pass to Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian national team won with a score of 2: 0.

In early July it became known that Barcelona had received a tempting offer. The famous club, whose name has not yet been disclosed, is offering to pay € 50 million for Paulinho's transfer. What the team's management thinks about this is not yet known.
