- The Dinho’s bro and agent, Roberto de Assis is annoyed that you think his bro is a Has Been and should be banished from the seleção forever. This comes after the newspaper Sport alleged last week that the Brazilian is planning to retire. “All that (was published) were total lies. The newspaper was so cruel that it put everything in a “confidential” tone so no one (would) assume anything. In this case, it was done without the least respect for someone who has done a lot for the sport We did not respond to it because we know exactly where it came from,” Assis said.
- Senor Mourinho has been slapped a one-match ban by referee Daniele Orsato, who also sent him off in a previous game. He’ll now have the chance to enjoy a plate of pasta with Marco Materazzi for protesting after the referee failed to book Cagliari’s Davide Astori for a foul on Mario Balotelli.
- Ok… ignore our overexcited reactions to Alfio Basile’s resignation yesterday. He has decided to honour his contract as Boca coach and will “continue in office.” “Without any doubt, he has confirmed that he will stay,” said the club’s vice president, José Beraldi. We’ll be seeing more of Ursula then…
- Remember Santos’s child prodigy, Neymar? He may be considered a star in the making but Emerson still thinks he has a looooong way to go. “I think he has great quality, but is still very weak physically. He needs to develop. Today’s football needs a lot of physical strength. I see that people (consider him to be like) Ronaldo, who at 33, has won everything in life. Not so. (Neymar) has to learn a lot and to have that freedom to develop into (his) best which is the skill. But he must not (be) pressured,” he said.
