"Alexandre is often referenced as "Robinho," who was a famous football (soccer) player during the mid-2000s era. The reason for that dates back to when de Jesus started training. As he did not own a kimono, de Jesus would wear football jerseys to practice, and being the big fan that he was, all these shirts had Robinho's name on the back. For that reason, Alexandre's coach would humorously call his pupil by the footballer's name, a tradition that remained throughout his career."
