Joel, the executioner good people | Profile

It is already part of the itinerary for informal visits to the boulevard da Baixada, but I think the club should include tour official: a review with the idol Joelthe eternal executioner of thighs.

It is not uncommon for our center forward from the 1983 two-time championship to cycle 25 kilometers from his home, in Bairro Alto, to Água Verde, as he enjoys exchanging ideas, having a laugh, having a beer, taking some photos and talking about Hurricane with his friend. people. And who wouldn’t enjoy it?

With the mission of replacing Washington and having just left the base, the Santa Catarina native Joel Raimundo da Silva He was the biggest name in Paraná football that year. Red and black top scorer with 12 goals, 33.3% scored against the thighs who were betting on Dadá Maravilha to avoid our second championship.

But it was Joel who provided the solution, scoring a goal in Couto Pereira’s yellow net in each game of the tense final matches. Goals that are some of my first and clearest memories. On the way, before scoring the goal that counted, he had scored one with the hand of God, but the referee canceled it and the stick ate him. The PM entered the field, but no one was expelled. Good times.

In the play that gave us the victory, he pushed the ball in during a terrible fight and left provoking Couto Pereira’s socials. In the return game, he scored a header with style and class and that was it.. With his appearance of bad boy A teenager with curly hair and 1.83 m tall, he had a female fan club. However, he was a pain in the neck on the field and didn’t get any relief from the defenders.

In the following years, Joel toured Brazil and returned to CAP twice, in 1985 and 1988. With his simple way, he has a lot of stories to tell on the B side of the ball. Anyone who hasn’t exchanged ideas with him in Baixada yet, don’t waste time. Our executioner knows how to be a good person just as he knew how to score goals with his thighs.
