Keirrison may look like one of those “Clinic Extras” in the legendary Mr Bean series, but cara doesn’t care OK? Negotiations are apparently ongoing for a move to Barcelona and Luxemburgo refuses to rule out K9′s move to Spain.

Anyway, the player recently visited his friends Alex and Henrique at Coritiba. “In 2006, I lived in Couto Pereira and walked around here all day dreaming of playing with the stadium full and everyone screaming my name. Thank God within a year, that happened,” said Keirrison.

On a random note, did you know his father named him Keirrison because he was inspired by Jim Morrison of The Doors?

Time to catch up on some South American football action. Internacional won 1-0 away to Argentina’s Estudiantes de la Plata in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final on Wednesday. Apparently, Estudiantes’ midfield was ochestrated by Juan Sebastian Veron, who dominated the second half – but still failed to pull off a well-deserved victory. Nilmar was fouled by Leandro Desabato, earning a penalty for the Brazilian side which was promptly scored by Alex.

“It was a strange game, I can’t really describe it,” said Veron. Well, it is pretty sad especially if you’ve been doing most of the work in a game.
