GEOVANNI “PHIL BROWN DID HELP ME AT HULL, BUT HE SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT INFAMOUS TEAM TALK AT MAN CITY”
What are you most proud of in your career?
God took me to several places where I’d never dreamed of going – I played in Spain, Portugal, England and the USA. I’d always wanted to be a footballer in Brazil and represented Cruzeiro, America-MG, Bragantino and Vitoria, which is special for a guy from the countryside like me. I played professionally for 18 years and have to thank God for the opportunities he gave me.
At which clubs do you think you played your best football?
Cruzeiro, Benfica and Hull, without a shadow of a doubt, as I hit the peak of my career then.
When you left Cruzeiro to join Barcelona in 2001, were there more teams
