Alex – Alexsandro de Souza – is unquestionably an ace sportsman, an absolute idol for fans of Coritiba, Palmeiras, Cruzeiro and Fenerbahçe football teams. In this biography, Marcos Eduardo Neves tells all Alex’ trajectory _ the difficulties of his poor childhood, the troubles in the beginning of his career, his most important victories and championships, the reason why he was not ever called to compose any Brazilian team for a World Cup, despite his undebatable technique. The book tells, narrated by Alex himself, details of his love and family life, which never before had been revealed, like the many times he and his wife lost their babies during pregnancy, and the anxiety before the difficult births of their three children. A great part of the narrative is dedicated to the millionaire and competitive backstage of football: betrayals of professional colleagues and coaches, moments of sadness, delusion, anger, and happiness.
