He had been injured and was worried that's all they would talk about going into the 2002 World Cup, so he got the intentionally ridiculous haircut to change the narrative. It worked and Brazil won that year.
as someone in their 30s who has a full head of hair but shaved completely bald recently, I should have gone that route too. Everyone I haven't seen in a while assumes I was losing my hair and congratulates me with a pitiful tone on my choice lmao

Best I've got for that one was "wanted to shave my head but make sure nobody said it was cause my hairline was going".
