No need to apologize, I'm glad you posted this birthday, I wasn't aware of this curiosity about his date of birth being registered 4 days later, thank you for sharing the information
He retired from my team here (Corinthians), and I thought he wouldn't do well, because of the knee problems, age, time off, but he became an idol here and scored memorable goals for my team, it was a beautiful spell, it was It's a shame he retired early because he couldn't deal with the injuries anymore

Not sure what you mean here. I don't know about Brazil, but in England and Wales you have 42 days to register a birth.  It certainly doesn't have to be done on the day of birth.  Do you mean that the registration has the wrong date of birth?
