Admilson Rosa Brites

""Juquinha", meaning "Small Juca" in Portuguese. The name started through his cousin (and coach) Cirillo Azevedo who named Admilson after a cartoon character named "Juca Bala" (in English named Motormouse after the Hanna & Barbera show: Motormouse and Autocat). Admilson Brites was very small and fast, usually ending his matches quickly, so Cirillo nicknamed him after the speedy mouse."
