I've been meaning to share this story for ages, but I always have been too lazy to write it down, but here we go:
After the match between Brazil and Colombia in Fortaleza, the governor of Ceara (Cid Gomes) was acting drunk and tried to get into Brazil NT dressing room, but was stopped by one of the volunteers working on the stadium. Cid Gomes is known for being authoritarian and disrespectful with others as he tries to pass by a "funny person" all the time. He then started to push the volunteer and scream at him that the guy was "a nobody" and should obey him (by letting him go into Seleção's dressing room). The volunteer still didn't let him pass as he did not have FIFA's credentials to cross that area.
As the governor started to get more violent, David Luiz, who was giving an interview nearby, noticed what was going on and paused the interview to step on the volunteers defense. He gently asked the governor what he wanted and Cid answered that he would like to get in the dressing room to sign the ball that he got from the game. David nodded, took the ball into the dressing room and came back with the ball signed by the team. Not too satisfied, the governor slyly thanked the player and left.
As for the volunteer, David gave him one of his shirts signed with an especial message, thanked him for doing his job right and apologized for what he just had been through. After all, they even took a picture together as Thiago Silva joined them.
And that, ladies and gentleman, is how you represent your people inside and outside the pitch.
