Footballers WAGs can often influence a player’s reputation among a club’s fanbase for better or worse. A recent example is the incredible adoration Thiago Silva’s wife, Belle Silva has garnered from Chelsea fans.
Since his move to Los Blancos from Porto back in 2019, Eder Militao has become one of the most exciting prospects in European football.
The centre-back has gained the appraisal of Merengue fans on the back of his impressive performances this season. Having played aside former captain Sergio Ramos last season, the Brazilian exhibits a similar level of aggression and passion in his performances, dubbed as ‘Madrismo’ by the Madrid faithful.
If these weren’t reasons enough for Militao to win admiration from his club’s supporters, the passion his partner expresses for the club furthers a strong case.
The 23-year old’s girlfriend Karoline Lima took to Instagram to show support for her partner during Real Madrid’s game against Inter.
She dictated events from the game and understandably came off as a cheerleader for her significant other. Translations to her comments can be read below –
Guys what a confusion (fight) with my man
Oh my God
Sent off
The crowd is cheering his name
Additionally, she reacted to Toni Kroos’ excellent opening goal by hilariously referring to him as “Toni Crocs”.
This nickname in itself had fans in splits but as it turns out, the Brazilian model has allotted funny nicknames to some of the other players in the Real Madrid squad as well.
When asked to make a lineup only with nicknames on Instagram a few days ago, Lima replied with the following – Abala [Alaba], QueSeVinga [Camavinga], Cortua [Courtois], Barbudão [Benzema], Vini [Vinicius], PrimoRodrygo [Rodrygo], Loirão [Lucas Vazquez] Carnaval [Carvajal].
