HARD TIMES - GOOD TIMES
Admildo Chirol
I was born in Vila Isabel's neighborhood,north zone of Rio de Janeiro, and lived in a street next to a soccer field. Frequently I attended the championships of the soccer amateur league of Ligth (an energy power company) , in that field, a tempting and charming field.
I filled the lazy hours, that they were not little, playing ball in the street and in the old zoo. The police always walked for close, but we got success in run away. It was prohibited to play ball in the land of the zoo.
A long time then, disputing the university championship, for the National School of Physical Education, it summed up a dream: to enter to dispute a game in that field of Ligth, so admired in my childhood. It is even that I played well, acting as an striker.
My father's premature death, brought many problems, but the teacher Maria Graces' power and tenacity , became decisive factors so that I and my two brothers lived with dignity and we had as studying. Maria Grace was my mother.
The pleasure for the sport woke up early in me. I liked to take care of the body, without never to forget of the spirit, without leaving of being interested for the good books that I had the opportunity to read in my adolescence and that helped me a lot in the formation of my personality.
Certain day, a friend informed me:
-The National School of Physical Education is opening registrations.
The chance was unique. I was finishing the high-school and they demanded only the elementary. In that very moment, I was enlisted in the Army, where there were not privileges. I made the registration and I studied as a lunatic in the moments of rest. I obtained license in I exercise it, I rendered the vestibular exam and I was approved. On that year I had to lock the registration, for then the following year to begin my teacher's formation.
The School was well close to the field of Botafogo and I will sometimes attend the trainings, without imagining that one day I would be there working , and preparing players that I admired. Among them, there were several champions of the world.
After having formed, I took the specialization course in soccer, becoming technician.
Through my older brother, the journalist Achilles Chirol, I went make an apprenticeship in the club America with technical Martim Francisco, recently-arrived of Europe, with who I learned the essential to become a professional of the area.
For indication of Martim, creator of the tactical outline 4-2-4, I assumed the technical direction of the juvenile of the America.
One year then, Botafogo hired Trainer Geninho, former player of the Club, released by the club Palmeiras. For surprise of many, he demanded a physical coach, what was novelty for these days. Botafogo tried to hire teacher Bruno Hermany, judo master and physical coach of the Brazilian Selection, what was not possible. The President of old CBD (today, CBF), João Havelange, wanted exclusiveness.
They asked an indication to Hermany, and he indicated me.
I remember of the first training.
I asked that everybody gave the hand making a wheel. I ordered that if it moved for the right and for left.
I feared that they mocked of me, but for my surprise, everybody passed to exercise demonstrating happiness.
And enter the ones that they were training and laughing, there were idols, my idols, people that it caused me emotion: Nilton Santos, Garrincha, Didi, Gerson, Jairzinho, Roberto, Manga, Rildo and others that would be my companions for a long time.
Zagallo was also part of that group, person with who soon I identified, and that would become the companion of so much days and conquests,and a faithful friend until today.
