Of course, O Ney was hoping for a year of great success, but instead there were more sufferings than joys, especially due to the many injuries that affected his performance. But with that shirt on, the shirt that also belonged to Pelè, the story could only have a happy ending. His return, sprinkled with a romantic aura due to the choice to drastically reduce his salary in order to play in the club of his life, was however surrounded by continuous controversies: clashes with fans and the press, internal tensions with some teammates and managers. The contract renewal was slow and cumbersome, hanging in the balance until the June break due to the Club World Cup.
