Abstract: The objective of the article is to analyze Garrincha´s biography, a famous player, as an expression of an individual trajectory that embodies meanings about the Brazilian soccer and on "Brazilian people".The empirical materil is Ruy Castro's book(1995) "Estrela solitária: Um brasileiro chamado Garrincha". The lines Writings by the author build the idea that Garrincha is gifted. Its talent is given as innate and it doesn't need to be improved. The indigenous ancestrality is key for the author to interpret the exuberance and simplicity of his game, as its contrary behavior to the social norms and the discipline in the soccer fields.
Keywords: Soccer. National Identity. Garrincha. Biography.
