He was a star of Liga MX, was compared to Ronaldo Nazario and had to become a dancer to pay off his debts

Many will remember Aílton Goncalves da Silva as one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga and Werder Bremen, but the Brazilian player had a great step at Tigres that earned him one of the record transfers of his time. Aílton Goncalves charged thousands of dollars and was compared to Ronaldo Nazario for his physical resemblance but today he lives a very different reality.

Aílton Goncalves is one of the Liga MX players who wasted his money and was unable to have financial stability despite being one of the best paid players of the moment. His transfer from Tigres to Werder Bremen marked a milestone in the history of the two clubs.

Once Aílton Goncalves retired from soccer, his life was not taking the same fate and if he had imitated Ronaldo Nazario today he would be a great businessman, but it did not happen. Today Aílton Goncalves finished his participation in a dance contest in Germany where famous characters from Germany participated.

Fortunately, Aílton Goncalves seems to have found economic stability for himself and his family, but now far from the world of football and his comparison with Ronaldo Nazario. Brazilian players should look to Ronaldo Nazario as an example for the remainder of their careers as Ronaldo became a very important businessman.
