Carlos Santana is a Brazilian forward dubbed the "Soccer Cyborg" for his mechanically precise style and initial emotional detachment from the sport. Abandoned as an infant at the Bara FC field in Bahia, he was discovered and raised by elderly couple Eduardo and Katherine Santana. Their deaths in a traffic accident when he was seven led to adoption by club owner Barsole Bara. Santana endured harsh basement imprisonment under Bara’s regime, subjected to relentless 24-hour training that suppressed his humanity and emotions. This conditioning severed childhood bonds, including his friendship with Luciano Leo, leaving only the soccer ball as his companion. Santana emerged as a prodigy, becoming top scorer and MVP in Brazil’s U-18 World Youth Tournament victory. His "cyborg" persona defined his early career at CR Flamengo ("Domingo"), prioritizing technical perfection over passion. A pivotal shift occurred during the Rio Cup final against Tsubasa Ozora’s São Paulo FC ("Brancos"). Initially mirroring Tsubasa’s moves with enhanced flair—executing volleys, no-look shots, and his signature "Vuelta Santana" spin—Santana embraced emotion-driven play after witnessing Tsubasa’s heartfelt approach. This transformation, depicted in "The Shine of Rosario," marked his return to "Carlos Santana’s soccer," reconciling with Leo and forging a rivalry with Tsubasa. At Japan’s U-20 World Youth Tournament, Santana spearheaded Brazil’s undefeated run, scoring hat-tricks in group and knockout stages. During the final against Japan, he unleashed the "Vertical Combi Play" with Leo and the "Skywing Shoot" (a Raiju Shoot variant), but Brazil fell in overtime. Post-tournament, he reunited with his biological mother and transferred to Spain’s Valencia CF. His professional arc included a 2-2 La Liga draw against FC Barcelona, featuring duels with Rivaul, and a 4-5 loss to Real Madrid and Natureza. Later, for Brazil’s Olympic team, he contributed to a 4-4 group-stage draw against Germany. Santana’s techniques blend creativity and precision, featuring the Vuelta Santana dribble, overhead kicks, and collaborative plays with Leo. His evolution from a trauma-forced machine to a player uniting skill and joy defines his legacy.
