@FootynewsThe locker room moment before the 2002 World Cup final against Germany wasn't about tactics. It was a recording from O'Globo, a Brazilian channel, that Luiz Felipe Scolari put on the TV for the squad. The broadcast went beyond standard highlights to visit every player's hometown, showing how neighborhoods and states were celebrating the team. When the feed finally landed in Bento Ribeiro, Ronaldo Nazário saw his childhood streets. He spotted the exact walls he used to kick his ball against during his youth. Small children stood nearby next to colorful murals painted specifically in honor of the players. That specific viewing session happened right before the team stepped out onto the field.
