Cigarette and Socrates are like something that couldn't be separate. One of the legend Brazilian football team that have full name Socrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza vieira de Oliveira is a Brazilian midfielder that become active smoker eventough he was with Brazil national team at that time, in 1980 he started to quite smoke and focus to change his lifestyle. In Brazil national team his not the only player that really like to smoke, there are for or five players  that are

Socrates he is the right example for us that want to change our life, in Brazil national team his not only a midfielder, he was more than that, he is a brother and leader for other players. After quite smoking he tried to fix his performance on the field not only skills but also physicaly, no wonder if he had the strongest right foot in the team at that time. On the field Socrates is popular with his passing, assist and his shoot, Zico once told "Socrates has everything to become a legend".

In Socrates and Zico era the style of play of Brazil National team were different with others team, they play very quickly and unpredictable that is why Socrates call this style is "organised chaos" and with him as midfielder he could surprising everyone with his vision on the field. Socrates has 60 goals and score 22 goals as miedfielder it was'nt an easy achievements. Socrates will live forever in our hearts as a football fan, he is the greatest footballer that ever live in this world.

He is'nt only football player but he is more than that, he was using his image as a popular footballer to campaign about humanity and politics, he once used a headband in 1986 that written "sigue en pie" to show his love for all victim of Mexico disaster's caused by earthquake and he always made a gesture on the field to show his political believes and fight against dictator by his message or celebration.
