Nilmar: a scorer who never wastes opportunities

It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later: having an opportunity in football, making the best of it and maintaining a good game requires great effort and determination. Nilmar, who is now 25, started early and faced situations that almost brought his career to an early end. But he never gave up...

At 15 he decided to leave his home town of Bandeirantes (Paraná state) to live alone in Porto Alegre (RS), where he started his career in the youth leagues of one of the great Brazilian teams.

At 22, the forward had already played in Europe and returned to Brazil to play for Corinthians. In Timão he earned titles and was a high scorer worshiped by the fans. But he also lived through a dramatic situation: he suffered two serious injuries that threatened to remove him from professional football.

He wasn't discouraged. As a good forward, he went after a new opportunity, and when one presented itself in the team that discovered him, he seized it. Today Nilmar is at the top of his game, playing in Spain, and is ready to seize an opportunity to shine for the whole world this month.

Nilmar didn’t waste any opportunities. Go after your own opportunity, starting on June 10th. Participate in the global event "The Chance" at our Facebook page.
