The defender of origin from Brazil but who plays for the National of Portugal in a recent interview with foreign media has told a very painful story.

Pepe, who made a name for herself at Porto, and then at Real Madrid, told the story of how she was without money when she traveled from Brazil to Portugal.

When I arrived in Portugal from Brazil, I had only 5 euros worth. I had this money to tell my mom I'm okay. But I stayed at the airport a lot, so I was also hungry. But I still decided that money was used to call the family”, Pepe said.

The 37-year-old European champion with Portugal has also shown why he chose Portugal before his native Brazil.

It's been a while and I'm starving. I approached the Pans/Company and asked them if they had something to eat, there was actually a lot of stuff there, but I had no money. Meanwhile, an employee there donated me a sandwich. He didn't know who I was, nor did I.

From that moment on, I've always helped others. That's why I chose Portugal.

We remember that now the footballer has returned to Porto after his adventure in Besktas and Real Madrid.
