00:00 "But you know that Ziza Valadares invited me to join PSDB

00:05 and be a candidate for councilor in Belo Horizonte."

00:07 I said, "Ziza, no."

00:09 I was still playing.

00:11 I wanted to play more. I was 37 years old,

00:16 but I kept thinking, "When I stop, what am I going to do?"

00:18 Then I talked to Eliana.

00:23 "Well, I think you have to go. You will extend, you will need to help more people."

00:27 "My pastor?" "No, you have to go."

00:30 "And me?" "No."

00:32 Then my best football friend, Eleno,

00:34 we have been friends since we were 15,

00:36 he told me, "João, you have to be a candidate."

00:39 Was Eleno already in the political career?

00:41 No, Eleno had finished physical education,

00:44 he was playing and graduated in physical education,

00:47 and he was working, it seems, with Piazza in the sports secretary.

00:51 Then Eleno told me, "You have to be a candidate."

00:54 No, guys, Eleno was Procopio's assistant,

00:57 in that title, the Comebol, Eleno was Procopio's assistant.

01:02 - '92, right? - '92.

01:04 You were still in the team, you were a champion, right?

01:08 - Comebol '92. - I was playing.

01:10 And Procopio was a coach.

01:12 Then Eleno said, "You have to be a candidate."

01:16 Then he said, "You have to be a candidate."

01:19 Eleno, I've heard about politics, there's a lot of corruption.

01:23 I'm not going to get into that, Eleno.

01:25 Eleno said, "João, what about football?

01:28 How many times have you seen a player pretend to be injured

01:31 so he doesn't travel 400 kilometers?"

01:33 I said, "I've seen it many times."

01:35 "Put on your flip-flops and stay."

01:37 "How many times have you pretended?"

01:39 You know I never pretended, Eleno.

01:41 "How many times have you seen a player dopa to play?"

01:43 Unfortunately, I've seen it a few times.

01:45 "How many times have you doped yourself, João?"

01:47 I never doped myself, Eleno, you know that.

01:50 "You're going to get into politics and you're not going to do that."

01:54 Then he convinced me.

01:56 Then I was a candidate for mayor of Belo Horizonte.

01:59 - That was in '90? - '92.

02:01 - '92, right? - '92 election.

02:03 The party launched Aécio Neves, candidate for mayor.

02:07 We didn't go to the second round.

02:10 It was Patruzana Anias against Maurício Campos.

02:14 But I was elected.

02:16 Cesar Marci, Milka Martins for PSDB, Zé Alín with Magalhães.

02:22 What else?

02:24 We did a good job for the city council.

02:28 I was invited to be a sports secretary for Belo Horizonte.

02:31 I did 12 social projects.

02:33 I made a team with the boys who stole in downtown Belo Horizonte.

02:37 - Wow. - Fantastic.

02:39 I took them to train.

02:40 One day I got there and one of them was expelled.

02:43 Angelo, who played with me, was playing the game.

02:46 I said, "Adão, what are you doing out here?"

02:48 "I was expelled by that thief."

02:51 Then Eleno, who was in physical education, said,

02:54 "You can't steal, right, Adão?"

02:56 "It's absurd, stealing from us."

02:58 Then Eleno insisted, "You can't steal, right, Adão?"

03:01 "Not here. In downtown, an old man comes out of the bank,

03:04 I jump and take his money."

03:07 I did a project called Dende Leite.

03:10 This project lasted until the government, Márcio Lacerda.

03:15 He was a former player, giving training to the kids

03:19 in the school's counter class.

03:21 64 projects, spread out by our...

03:26 I'm very happy to go to Veracruz.

03:29 Luiz Florencio, an athletic player, from the National of Manaus,

03:33 he was the leader there.

03:36 He had 200 kids.

03:38 I always go to his house for lunch every year.

03:42 He welcomes the kids who worked with him.

03:46 Military police officers, municipal guards, firemen, shepherds.

03:52 That's what happened with that work, you know?

03:56 It was 64. Getúlio was, Antenor was.

04:00 And now they've finished this fantastic project.

04:03 One that continues to surpass.

04:05 I made a school for kids with disabilities.

04:09 It continues to this day, at Pedro II.

04:12 A show.

04:14 That was it.

04:16 You left it. You have your legacy, right, João?

04:19 And there were 6 or 7 terms?

04:22 7 terms as a state representative.

04:25 I was Secretary of State, Social Development and Sports.

04:30 I finished the last two FEBEM in Minas Gerais,

04:33 Eduardo Barbosa had finished the others.

04:37 And I finished these terrible things.

04:42 One had 200 kids.

04:45 And I said, "It's not possible."

04:48 There was a big change, right?

04:50 The way you saw the resocialization of the kids.

04:53 I didn't sleep thinking...

04:55 If there was a catapult, a spring,

04:58 they would all be contaminated.

05:00 I made a project that Eduardo Barbosa had started long before.

05:05 Houses.

05:07 And we managed to put 200 kids,

05:10 at most 12 kids in each house.

05:13 In one month, 50% of the kids were found.

05:17 The families of these kids came back to the family reference.

05:22 Great-grandmother, grandmother, aunt.

05:26 It was a great joy.

05:30 Congratulations on the work outside the fields, João.
