This weekend, Atlético Paranaense achieved promotion to the First Division of Brazilian football. In their ranks, an old acquaintance of the Spanish fans after his time at Salamanca, Cartagena, Rayo Vallecano and Levante, a guy with a peculiar character, Pedro Botelho.
El jugador, who arrived this summer to the Brazilian team, He made a big mess by putting on a spectacular brawl in the match in which his team was playing for promotion against Paraná, city rival in a derby where sparks flew.
Almost at the end of the game, Botelho brutally attacked a player from the rival citizen and what is worse, Before going to the locker room he got into a fistfight with Ricardo Conceiçao, dorsal number 5 from Paraná. It is not the first time that Botelho, high quality player but bad head, the cables get crossed.
Last year without going any further, starred in two quite notorious scandals. The first when he was at Rayo Vallecano, He crashed his car into a police car, escaping and then being intercepted and discovering that he was drunk and that he also did not have a license to drive in Spain.
La segunda, one month after, when already playing for Levante, Botelho left the concentration at night after the match against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu and the team left Madrid, without him, leaving the player on the ground because he was not in his room in the morning. Without a doubt an example of a great player with a bad head, enough to go from the First Division of the best League in the world to the Brazilian Second Division.
