Ostensibly, the former full-back Cicinho was a successful football star who achieved great success in Real Madrid, Roma and the Brazilian national team.
Behind the scenes, she hid alcohol problems and a broken relationship with his son.
Former full-back Cicinho had a successful career and spent two years at Real Madrid where he won the league title.
He also played for clubs such as Roma, Villarreal, Sao Paulo and Sevaspor.
But life as a soccer star isn’t completely frictionless for everyone.
In an interview with EPTV, 41-year-old Cisenio talks about his problems along with the plan, which was fraught with alcohol problems.
As a former football professional, it was easy. I didn’t have to spend any money on alcohol. People gave me what I wanted in a bar. If you ask me if I train full time at Real Madrid, the answer is yes. I drank coffee to hide my breath and soaked in perfume.
I drank when he was 13
Cicinho’s relationship with alcohol wasn’t the only one during this time at Real Madrid.
The problems started when he was 13 years old and continued throughout his career.
– I first tried alcohol when I was 13, and then never stopped. In Rome, I usually start drinking right after training and come home at 2 at night.
Now Cicinho is determined to tackle his alcohol problems, while pleading with his son for forgiveness.
– I have a 15-year-old son that I want to apologize for. He was only 2 years old at the time and may not have understood, but this is etched in my memory.
