Maxwell Parents and Childhood

Maxwell was born on August 27, 1981, in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Brazil. Maxwell was born to Brazilian parents. Jose and Paulina (

Maxwell parents

) always supported their son and tried to be Maxwell's side.

Maxwell childhood was pretty hard. Maxwell was born in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, south of Espirito Santo. As a child, he used to swim and play futsal. Sometimes, the boy had a commitment to both sports at the same time, but he always prioritized indoor football, even though, at the age of 11, he was considered one of the fastest swimmers in his state. The family gave Maxwell a lot of comfort and support to not have to move to another part of the country to play futsal. However, when he passed a test at Cruzeiro, there was no alternative at the age of 15.

In Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais, Maxwell was part of Raposa's children's team. Amid strong competition at the celestial club, the player traveled with the youth team's delegation to the Netherlands to compete in a tournament. Cruzeiro won the competition; the player was one of the highlights and called Ajax's attention, who would later sign him. Before leaving Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo was champion of the Copa do Brasil, in 2000, despite not having entered the field during the campaign.

Maxwell's successful European adventure began in 2001 when he was just 20 years old. The athlete arrived in Amsterdam together with an also unknown

, to whom he would become a kind of faithful squire for life. The left-back has already said, in several interviews, that the friendship between the two began after the attacker spent his first salary buying a luxury car and, thus, ran out of money to buy other essentials, such as food, for example.

Ibra then asked if he could stay for two weeks (until the next salary) at the defender's house. Scratching English at the time, the capixaba agreed to host what would become a great friend for many years. By the way, the partnership between the South American and the Nordic would also extend into the field, with Maxwell serving and Ibrahimovic pushing the balls into the net. And, although they have different personalities, both had some peculiarities in common: the year of birth (1981), the desire to become football stars, and the controversial agent, Mino Raiola, as an agent.

The left-back spent five years at Ajax and helped the Amsterdam team win six titles, including two Eredivisie, two Dutch Cups, and two Dutch Super Cups. He was also named the best player in the local league in 2004. He received his first call to serve the Brazilian team as he had already defended Canarinho in a pre-Olympic tournament, qualifying for the Athens Olympics.

Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira called him up for the games against Venezuela and Colombia, in October 2004, for the 2006 World Cup qualifiers. The defender remained in Roberto Carlos' reserve in both matches. Back in the

, Maxwell maintained his high level for the Dutch team, but in April 2005, he went through a very tense moment in his career.

Ajax faced Willem II in the semi-final of the Dutch Cup when the player suffered a serious injury: a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. The recovery time was longer than normal since he would be affected by another injury in December of the same year, this time on the meniscus. Therefore, Espirito Santo was not available for the 2005-06 season, and that is proof that

Maxwell childhood

was spent with hard-working to achieve goals.

Maxwell Girlfriend, Personal Life and Marital Status

Besides discussing Maxwell career, we will also talk about Maxwell children and family. Maxwell was married to Giulia until a couple of years ago. The couple was one of the most private football couples with very scarce public appearances together.

They have four kids. Giulia Andrade is a slim dark-colored eye lady. She has dark long hair; she's beautiful. After retiring from football, they lived in Paris until that horrible incident. According to the police report dated March 27, in Belo Horizonte, Giulia was suffering threats throughout her relationship with Maxwell, to whom she was married for 13 years and has four children. Also, according to the police record, Maxwell even threatened her with death in 2015. Maxwell, in turn, denied all accusations made by the ex-wife and stated, in a statement released to the press, that he will prove his innocence.

Maxwell Career

Following the

top facts about Maxwell

, you should probably be more excited about the rest of the article, so we intend to bring up a new topic. Maxwell career was a great one.

He was born in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, in Espirito Santo, a state which cannot boast the same footballing traditions as other parts of the country, but he then moved to Cruzeiro’s academy in Belo Horizonte as a teenager. At the age of 18, he enjoyed his first taste of glory as Cruzeiro won the 2000 Copa do Brasil, although it should be noted that a young Maxwell didn’t play a minute of the tournament. Instead, he watched on as the team which had claimed the Copa Libertadores just two years previously marched towards the title, seeing off Sao Paulo in the two-legged final.

While he may not have got on the pitch much for the Cruzeiro senior side, his performances at youth level were impressive enough to catch the eye of Ajax, who scouted him at a tournament just as he was turning 20, bringing him to Amsterdam for the equivalent of €3m. In the Eredivisie, Maxwell first held down a regular position in a starting lineup, something he had been unable to do in Belo Horizonte given the experience ahead of him in the pecking order.

In the end, Ajax has not renewed Maxwell's contract. So, in January 2006, at the age of 24, he closed with Inter. The Italian club no longer had space for extra-community players in its squad. Thus, the athlete ended up on loan to

. 

The Brazilian, however, never took the field for the Tuscan team, as he was still recovering from injury. He would join the Nerazzurri group in the European summer of 2006, establishing a relationship until June 2010. In Appiano Gentile, he would meet his friend Ibrahimovic.

In his first season with Inter, Maxwell played 29 games, scored a goal, and assisted. He won the Scudetto with an advantage but lost the Coppa Italia to Roma in the final. Anyway, the balance was positive, and his first goal for the Inter team proves that. In the 2-0 victory over Parma in April 2004, in Serie A, the 6 shirts scored a great goal that cheered the San Siro crowd and commentator Jose Altafini, who followed the match on Sky alongside narrator Pierluigi Brown.

Maxwell's journey at Inter ended in 2009 when a young Davide Santon gained the appreciation of Mourinho and Barcelona arrived with an offer of €4.5m for the Brazilian. With less playing time under

, Maxwell opted to leave Barcelona in January 2012. 

He signed an agreement with

, which, with the help of investors, emerged as a major project for the following years. As usual, the Brazilian ran into his friend Ibrahimovic again, who would become PSG's main star at the time. It would be the fourth time that the defender and the attacker would meet in the same club.

At PSG, the Brazilian further increased his titles and became the active player with the most trophy in his career (36) - later being surpassed by Daniel Alves. The left-back became a reference within the Parisian squad; he even wore the captain's armband and, in his last season as a professional player, won titles, of course. There were 214 games, 13 goals, 25 assists, and an incredible 14 cups in five years in Paris.

With his boots dangling, Maxwell joined the PSG board in 2017, replacing Portuguese Antero Henrique as the club's sporting director. He remained for two years, even participating in the negotiation that took Neymar to Paris. In 2019, however, he walked away from the role. The French press reported that the assault charges made by his ex-wife, Giulia Nagamine, were the reason for the decision.

Not only on earth but also outside, he is an influential person, at least for me. He is a humble and professional human being at the same time simple.”

“I hope all our young people will continue in this way and set an example for Ibrahimovic, for example. He trains every day as if it were his first day of training. His record speaks for itself. He has always been a decision-maker and an influencer, and he has continued to do so in Paris.”
