Brazilian footballer Givanildo Vieira de Souza, better known as Hulk, currently plays for Atletico Mineiro.

Here are 5 amazingly insane facts about Givanildo Vieira De Souza that fans should know! 

Givanildo Vieira De Souza: 5 Insane Things About The Brazilian Footballer! 

1. Why is Givanildo Vieira De Souza called the Hulk?

Hulk is the identity that made De Souza win the most. Because of his pachydermic onslaught, his strength, and his resemblance to Lou Ferrigno, Givanildo Vieira de Sousa lost Campiña Grande’s baptismal certificate, and in the way of soccer, he has been renamed the Hulk.

Beyond the powerful body, and the speed when the vigorous lower body gains power, Hulk accompanies a certain grace, balance, and smoothness with the ball, the arsenal of his game.

Pampered by the fans of his country who remember him as the hero of the comics, on the other hand, his own teammates have made intense jokes and apologies for the lushness of his hips and buttocks, an obvious product of gym sessions and the player’s own biotype.

2. He should be considered a rhino instead:

an average of one goal every two games, the Brazilian has speed, his terrifying charge, worthy of an NFL career, and his lethal greed for goals, this beast would actually zoologically fit into the rhino family, with all the panics Givanildo Vieira De Souza arouses.

In small spaces, he suffers, but he does not give up, because precisely another of his virtues emerges, the ability to protect the ball, while dribbling a ball down the side or finding an escape through the relief of a teammate.

Without the green countenance, without the fits of rage, the semi-blind attacks, and the desire to confront the opponent in the clash, maybe a rhino fits him best. 

3. This April, Zaya, his second daughter was born: 

Givanildo Vieira De Souza the Brazilian Hulk made a whirlwind trip to Miami to witness the birth and shared the news with an emotional post on social media.

It is a love story that moved Brazil and added a new chapter in the Atletico Mineiro striker’s life.

“Come and bloom our house my love, we have long dreamed of your arrival. Glad to be able to experience the grace of God’s promises. Thank God for my family, whom I will love and honor forever. You are the answer to our prayers, my daughter, you have come to make our life even more beautiful. You are our blessing. Welcome my princess, I will love and protect you forever,” the player added.

4. The Brazilian will raise his child in America:

Famous for his long career abroad, Givanildo Vieira De Souza’s second daughter was born in America. The 36 -year-old Brazilian striker made a whirlwind trip to the United States, where he has a home and spends much of his time with his current partner, Camila Ângelo, who is his ex-wife’s niece.

Givanildo Vieira De Souza is already the father of Ian (14), Tiago (12), and Alice (10), who are the result of his relationship with Iran Ângelo de Souza, who is the aunt of Camila, his current partner.

I have sacrificed my dreams so many times to achieve their dreams. And here I am not only talking about material goods because they are easy to give when you have money, but also love, affection, attention, respect… Everything”, he explained of the bond they had.
