Why Do So Many Brazilian Footballers 'Burn Out' Young?

Whether it be Adriano, Alexandre Pato, Philippe Coutinho, or Ronaldinho, there is a very long line - dating back over a hundred years - of Brazilian footballers peaking young and suffering premature falls from grace.

Sometimes those demises are attributed to injuries, whilst other times they are attributed to character flaws, but the bigger question is why players from Brazil seem to be so prone to such tendencies.

In this video, HITC Sevens attempts to answer that question, taking a look at a number of Brazilian players who burnt out young, the reasons behind it, and what makes footballers from Brazil different to those from anywhere else.
