加林查

Life for Manoel Francisco dos Santos was not always easy.

马诺埃尔·弗朗西斯科·多斯·桑托斯（加林查本名）的生活并不轻松。

If Pele is regarded by Brazilians as the most technically gifted player of all time, then Garrincha will always be remembered for his impudence and inventiveness.

如果说贝利被巴西人奉为有史以来最具天赋的球员，那么加林查则藉其勇猛和灵气而为世人铭记。

It was not long before Garrincha broke into the national team, making his debut on 18 September 1955 in a 1-1 draw against Chile.

不久加林查就破格进入国家队，并在1955年9月18日巴西1-1战平智利的比赛中完成了国家队处子秀。

Small for his age, his sister Rosa began to call him Garrincha, a north-eastern name for the wren, a small bird popular in Pau Grande.

很小的时候，他的姐姐罗莎开始喊他“加林查”，这是东北部人对鹪鹩，一种在波格兰德随处可见的小鸟的称呼。

Garrincha (for´little bird´), who played for Brazil in three World Cups from 1958 to 1966, was given his nickname because he flew right through defenders with his dribbles.

加林查（葡萄牙语中意为小鸟），从1958年至1966年代表巴西队参战三届世界杯，他在球场上盘带过人，轻盈地如同小鸟，所以有了这个绰号。
