Many soccer players are probably dreaming of this: to go ashore a large scouting contract. It is all the more extraordinary if this already works at the very beginning of the career – or even before. The eight -year -old Brazilian football star Nathazinho did it and is now under contract with the sporting goods giant Nike. Among other things, the Brazilian daily newspaper reported.
The young kicker, who is known as Nathazinho, plays at the Flamengo football club in Rio de Janeiro. Even the famous former player Zico kicked for the club in the 1970s and 1980s.
Nathanzinho is great football talent

There he scored the most goals with eleven goals and received the best rating of all athletes.
