Ever wondered how players such as Pele and Ronaldo became so good at football? The reason is that they started by playing Futebol de Salão. This is a 5-a-side version of football of South American origin that is played with a smaller, heavier ball that has virtually no bounce. The game became very popular in Brazil where some of the greatest players were brought up first playing Futebol de Salão before moving on to conventional football.
