Former Tottenham player Paulinho fought back tears on the show to talk about returning from injury

Former Tottenham player Paulinho is currently playing for Corinthians. After 8 months of recuperation, he finally returned recently.


In May 2022, Paulinho suffered a cruciate ligament injury, and the injury was very serious, which once made Paulinho consider retiring. Fortunately, Paulinho returned after 8 months of recuperation and successfully scored against San Andre.


When Paulinho was interviewed on the show, he mentioned his injury and felt tears in his eyes, saying: "The most important championship in my life is to return to football, which is why I am an accomplished person." After all, Paulinho is 34 years old, and it will definitely not be easy to go through another 8 to 10 months of cultivation.


However, Paulinho managed to recover from his serious injury and still had enough time to prepare for the game. When the reporter asked him how long he would still play, Paulinho said that it would be up to 4 years, which means he will be 38 years old, which is his ideal.


In the interview, Paulinho also expressed what Corinthians meant to him. He said: "Everything, Corinthians gave me a chance. For the Club World Cup and the Confederations Cup, I was in Corinthians. Ann has been through everything an athlete goes through, from a bad period to a peak."
