The Timão have been on the lookout for a new striker ever since they parted company with Adriano at the beginning of March. Corinthians were originally hoping to bring Diego Forlan to the Pacaembu, but after the Uruguayan’s agent publicly announced that his client was not interested in leaving Inter Milan, the Brasileiro champions have […]
Denilson, 24, was told by the London club this week that they will not permit his release for another season, a fact that has caused his manager an issue in midfield. “Denilson has never played as much now. Neither was he as happy as now,” the former-Brazil manager commented. “I think the first news story is the first news story. When […]
Hernanes was injured during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Leece, and scans have shown that the Brazil international has a ”first-to-second-degree tear to his left thigh muscle,” which will rule him out of action between four and six weeks. The former São Paulo playmaker has experienced a dip in form in recent games for Lazio, but […]
Ramires, 25, was once more the inspiration for Chelsea and it was his delightful goal before half-time that meant that Chelsea had renewed hope ahead of a gallant second-half performance. The former-Cruzeiro man raced onto a pass from Frank Lampard, before chipping over the helpless Victor Valdes to give Chelsea the advantage in the tie […]
Denilson, 24, has been on-loan at the club since last summer and in the absence of Wellington has become clear first-choice in the holding role. “I am at Sao Paulo until June 30. Then I will have to return,” the player confirmed. Denilson’s agent Alexandre Soares though believes that this is not the end of […]
After a long, drawn-out process it has been ruled that the 20-year-old Brazil international must return to São Paulo and see out the duration of the contract he walked out of in 2010. Inter are attempting to agree a compensation package with São Paulo, but there has been little progress and the likelihood of a […]
“They may be losing the goose that lays golden eggs, because the tournament’s largest media product is Neymar,” Luis Alvaro complained to Lancenet! “He was the competition’s top scorer last year, and is the most recognised player in the world, so they’d lose out if he was injured. Or even if Santos suffer an early exit, they may be […]
Adriano, 30, was kept in the team hotel by the Corinthians management in order to curb his excesses and help the star lose weight. “I will take [legal] action [against Corinthians],” Adriano told TV Globo, Brazil’s biggest television network. “I was in prison for one week. At no time did I agree to stay there. […]
“We need to pay a lot of attention to Luis Fabiano, who is a top goal-scorer, and to Lucas, a very talented star,” said Santos’ star-man, forgetting for a moment the absence of Luis Fabiano. “Luis Fabiano cannot play, but he will be well-replaced and if he is out, Lucas will step-up to the game.” […]
The former Santos forward grabbed two goals and an assist as PSG maintained the 2-point deficit to Montpellier at the top of the table, but sent a statement of intent with their performance. Italian international Thiago Motta, also Brazil-born was on the scoresheet, whilst Alex played in defence for the Parc des Princes outfit. But, […]
Scolari, who seemingly lost control of the dressing-room last season, once more overhauled the squad in January. However, a bright start has quickly fizzled out for many of the newcomers. The 2002 World Cup winning boss was blamed by many last campaign and the early exit at the hands of second division side Guarani will […]
Having been kicked, tripped, elbowed and pushed with regularity, 20-year-old Neymar made his opponents pay the penalty by making fools of his markers on his way to scoring. Moments before, the referee had to separate several players from both teams after Neymar and Mogi Mirim right-back Edson Ratinho had almost come to blows. Neymar responded […]
PSG were reportedly close to signing the 22-year-old in the January transfer window, but the move eventually collapsed after Milan’s president, Silvio Berlusconi, decided that he wanted to keep the Brazil international at the San Siro. Nevertheless, Ancelotti is still keen on keen on bringing Pato to the Parc des Princes. He told Rai Sport: […]
Santana was only appointed as coach at the beginning of February, but following Flamengo’s recent Copa Libertadores exit it was suggested that he would be sacked should the Rubro Negro fail to retain their Carioca state championship crown. However after Sunday’s 3-2 defeat, Amorim has given the 63-year-old the vote of confidence and insists that […]

It was the second time the Cruz de Malta beat their arch-rivals in a semi-final this year, and just like in their Taça Guanbara encounter, it was Vagner Love who scored the opener for Flamengo in the second minute. The former CSKA Moscow striker was played through on goal by Kléberson and then coolly slotted […]
In recent weeks, the 34-year-old forward has scored important goals for his side in high-pressure matches and Ramires believes that Drogba is still good enough to get in any side. “Didi is a forward who always responds in the most complicated moments,” the former-Cruzeiro midfielder enthused. “He showed it with the first goal against Tottenham […]
Ramires, 25, was influential in the first-leg and now the two sides will meet again on Tuesday with Chelsea holding a slender 1-0 advantage from the Stamford Bridge clash. “This is a game for gladiators, we can eliminate Barcelona,” Ramires asserted to The Sun. “The pressure will be on Barcelona. They have to score and […]
Bordeaux grabbed a fine 2-1 victory over Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday to compound the recent misery for Didier Deschamps’ side. It was a victory made in Brazil, with both goals coming courtesy of former-Cruzeiro forward Jussie, as well as strong performances from defensive duo Henrique and Mariano. “Matches against Marseille are always complicated,” […]
With the meeting taking place without the knowledge of São Paulo, Leão was justifiably enraged at the thought of the parents working on a move away from the club for their son. “I don’t know why they do it. This need not be done. It is better not to speak,” said the former-Brazil boss. “I am the […]
Yesterday, Canal+ published photos of the Blancos supremo wandering around the Santiago Bernabeu with the trio prior to his side’s 3-1 wins over Sporting Gijon last Saturday. Lucas, who is currently playing for São Paulo, has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid, but a whole host of Europe’s top clubs such as […]
The Brazil international notched up the opener from the penalty spot in the 33rd minute after Cristian Sapunaru was brought down by substitute Ricardo Dias. Porto were dominant in the first-half and it took them just six minutes to double their lead when some smart play on the right wing by Hulk enabled Marc Janko […]
