What a miracle! Someone actually thinks that Joel Santana speaks good English… (!!!!) but then again, she was his ‘official translator’ at the Confederations Cup – so you can excuse her.
Yes, meet Desiree Queiroz, whose father Tita once played for Vasco, Flamengo and the selecao. She’s probably the only one in Brazil who thinks Joel Santana’s English is audible and good.
“I was very happy to see Joel speaking English at all interviews, the people wanted (to hear him speak it) and he (picked it up),” she said.
“Joel (did his) job with great honor and hard work. During the Confederations Cup, he showed that he was the best person for the job. Fans loved and believed in Joel. The press was very pleased with the work that the technical committee did. Anyone who witnessed the departure saw that there was a big change and it was a beautiful game to watch.”
