Melo: At the age of 15, he was threatened by a drug lord, You have a promising future in playing football, and you will be killed if you hang out again

"Milan Sports" published an interview with former Serie A midfielder Melo, who talked about his past experience of being "threatened" by drug lords.

Felipe Melo was only afraid of once. It was when he was 15 years old and was in Brazil. He met a tall, burly drug dealer with tattoos.

"I occasionally hang out in that circle at that time. One day, this man pulled me aside and stared at me with those eyes that I would never forget for life and say, if I saw me wandering around again, I would shoot me to death. 'You have a future in playing football, don't let me see you here again '. I followed him. Now I don't know where he is, maybe he is no longer alive."

Melo is 42 years old and has played for Juventus, Inter Milan and Fiorentina in Serie A.
