Football is more than a passion for men, it is a passion that has become and has always been worldwide. Although many think that soccer belongs to Brazilians, the merit actually comes from an invention by England, this sport gained its modern forms at the end of the 19th century, so it is not a creation of Brazilians, but has become a used sport. All over the world as a hobby or even as a laser sport.

In the world and especially in Brazil, football has consolidated itself as a mass sport: although there were elite teams, the vast majority of football teams that remain today were groups of workers or even students, who got together to play football in neighborhood field or even on the street from home.

A very interesting curiosity about Brazilian football is that the first organized crowd that people have in public view was formed by a very large and exclusive female group. This crowd is an organized crowd of the Atlético Mineiro team, whose mother of one of the founders of the team, called Dona Alicia, made the flags used by women to cheer, girls, women, girlfriends and companions of men, went to the stadium to cheer on their team , Atlético Mineiro.

We can say that today the organized fans are not there at the same time as Dona Alicia, so today's football is highly professionalized, so smaller clubs have become big companies that end up profiting a lot from the sale of players from the lower categories, thus benefiting significantly as well. .

The big clubs end up doing the same thing as the small ones, but they sell big players who are very expensive and put younger players in their place, all so that they too can become stars. This mechanism ends up feeding the football industry and maintaining it until today.

Another of the curiosities of football is that technological development also accompanies this whole process, as new materials are developed that are increasingly flexible and resistant, all for football boots, light materials that will help the body to breathe during matches, balls have less friction in the field.

The result of all this is a process that becomes clearer when we hear older people, such as parents or grandparents, tell us that football is no longer the same as before, that the team and the team's shirt were played with more love, and not by earning the high wages paid today.

But what they forget and shouldn't be is that almost 90% of professional players receive low wages and still aspire to a very high salary gain, so they earn a very high salary and play for the love of football.
