Sumario:In journalistic narratives about football, villains are characters who personify the problems that are thought to be behind a defeat. Villains are players who have been found guilty of one or more defeats. If the hero travels an upward trajectory, in which a superior status is conferred upon him, the villain is often thrown into a downward trajectory that leads him into a territory of accusation. This downward trajectory was experienced by Barbosa, the goalkeeper of the 1950 men's team, after the defeat by Uruguay. In club terms, goalkeeper Muralha, in 2017, went through a similar process. This paper aims to analyze the construction process of the villain Muralha, former goalkeeper of Flamengo, from the narratives of the newspaper Extra.
