More than a decade ago, a young Anderson stood out in the Manchester Unitedwho signed him for 32 million euros after standing out with Porto. The Brazilian arrived in England and won the Premier and the Champions League with the Red Devils and the Copa América with Brazil, in addition to being Golden Boy. However, his career was not as successful as it seemed, and personally he has had many problems. In fact, this same week a Brazilian judge decreed his admission to prison for not paying child support to his two children.
The former footballer has been arrested in Brazil for not paying child support for two children. As reported by the media GHZ, The Rio Grande do Sul justice system has arrested the man from Rio Grande do Sul for not paying alimony, and he has a debt that reached 300,600 Brazilian reals.about 48,000 euros. The detention must be completed within a period of 30 days, during which time he will go to prison. If there is no inmate vacancy, the sentence must be served in a semi-open regime.
Although if the former Manchester United or Internacional Porto Alegre footballer, among others, pays the debt, the charges will be dropped immediately. It is not the first time that Anderson has been involved in a problem with the law. In 2021 he was accused of allegedly embezzling 35 million reais, 5.6 million eurosand for money laundering in cryptocurrency operations.
Anderson’s Word
A few months ago, the former player himself spoke in an interview for balloonsport, thanking Cristiano Ronaldo for the support he gave him during his time at Manchester United. «Nani and I live in Cristiano Ronaldo’s house for almost a year. Training was at 9:30, but sometimes we had to go at 6:30, because Ronaldo was at the club and we went with him. Nani and I slept there on the stretchers and waited, because his work had to start,” explained Anderson, who recalled that “Manchester United paid 35 million for me. At that time it was a lot of money. Today it would be 100 or 90 million.
«As soon as I arrived in Manchester I went to Cristiano’s house. I appreciate it very much. He adopted me. Nani and I lived in CR7’s house for almost a year. We left because we wanted to leave. For him we would have stayed there. We don’t spend anything. Nani and I, not to be stupid, had to at least do the shopping. Cristiano took us to train, fed us and had a cook for us. There was a swimming pool inside and outside the house, a jacuzzi, a tennis court… », he added.
Anderson knows that he could have gone much further as a footballer: «If I had 5% of Cristiano Ronaldo’s mentalitywould have been among the 20 best midfielders at that time. Something very Brazilian… To think that we have already won everything and that everything is resolved. Not wanting something a little more… We had a lot of quality, but there were few players. Our team had a handsome player, an uglier player, a dirty player, a straight player… there was a mix for a championship team. In our time, we didn’t even have Instagram. If we had Instagram…. I would be screwed. Because we caused so much shit…, but we always solved it.
Anderson experienced first-hand the departure of Alex Ferguson from Manchester United after 27 years: «Ferguson and I were very fond of each other. He was more than a coach. He made me understand things. He put me in my place… One day I arrived late from training, when Evra told me: “Black man, the man is leaving.” Then I thought it was a joke, but he confirmed that he was serious. Then I felt a chill, that sadness in your heart. Then he (Ferguson) looked at me and I told him to stop doing this crazy thing. He shook my hand and said, ‘Thank you, son. Thank you for everything and for being this wonderful person. Because I cursed you often. Telling you that you are a fantastic person, golden boy.’ “Then I started crying.”
