FOOTBALL MEMORIES
Botafogo is one of Brazil's historic clubs. Garrincha played here. Nilton Santos too. A club with a rich heritage – and periods of financial challenges.
When Honda came to Rio, he was already a global figure. World Cup goals for Japan. A past at Milan. A player with discipline and tactical intelligence. In Brazil, he was met with curiosity.
The white Botafogo football shirt with a black star is iconic in itself. With 本田圭佑 above number 4, it suddenly becomes international history.
