Mo Money Mo Problems by The Notorious B.I.G., Quit Playing Games With My Heart by the Backstreet Boys and 2 Become 1 by the Spice Girls were flying high on singles’ charts across the globe. DVDs had just been released in Japan. Men in Black was proving a big box-office hit. MSN Messenger didn’t exist. And, in September 1997, Fabio Deivson Lopes Maciel was off to his first FIFA tournament.
So, too, were Iker Casillas, Sebastian Deisler, Seydou Keita, Gabriel Milito and Xavi, but it didn’t stop the goalkeeper, with a little help from a No10 with Ronaldo on his back – or, more accurately, incalculable aid from a thrill machine who would become known as Ronaldinho Gaucho – emerging triumphant from the FIFA U-17 World Cup™.
Nobody – not Fabio, nor his biggest fan – could have predicted he would be at another FIFA event 26 years and two months later. After being written off when leaving Cruzeiro two years ago, however, the Nobres native went on to play a fundamental function in Fluminense conquering the first Copa Libertadores crown in their long history.
