Hace unos meses nuestro protagonista de la entrada de Leyendas de hoy, el "Juampi" Sorín anunció
que dejaba el fútbol en una emotiva rueda de prensa en las instalaciones del Cruzeiro, el club de
su corazón, algo curioso para un argentino, que encuentre tan buen acomodo en Brasil.

Sorin played yesterday his last match as a professional footballer. And the stage for the
farewell party could be no other place than the Mineirao, in Belo Horizonte. And the teams on the
field could be no different than Argentinos Juniors, club where the left-back started his career,
and Cruzeiro, club for whom he professes all his love.

Mike Marsh, Barry Venison, Rigobert Song, Abel Xavier, Harry Kewell, Milan Baros ve Graeme Souness.
Hepsinin ortak özelliği futbolcu ya da antrenör olarak Galatasaray'da görev yapmaları değil
sadece. İlginç olan ortak noktaları kırmızı formalarını Sami Yen'e gelmeden önce Anfield
Road'da da giymiş olmaları.

With the season is moving towards the final stages, I thought it was high time I produced a
follow up to last year's ‘Brazil: the talent factory' post. Once again, there has been an
abundance of exciting new players that have caught the eye in their first season in Série A.
Of the players I picked out last year; Palmeiras' Keirrison was bought by Barcelona and has been
loaned out to Benfica.

On the day that retired ex River Plate, Argentinos Juniors, Villarreal, Cruzeiro and Argentina full

player is held in rather less high esteem.

A Petkovic brace sinks the leaders
Two goals from Flamengo's Petkovic ended Palmeiras' unbeaten run in the Palestra Itália and cut
their lead at the top of the table to just four points.
The Greens dominated for most of the first-half but an excellent dribble and finish by the
veteran Petkovic put Fla ahead.

After the 29th round of Brasileiro, it seems no one wants to take the title home. Like in the
last round, when only one club on the top won, the leaders collectively failed again. Palmeiras,
Sao Paulo and Atletico-MG lost. Inter and Goias tied at home. And, in this way, Flamengo, the 6th
side on the table, was the first team on the top to win.

A dejeted looking Souza and Marcos as Náutico thrash the leaders 3-0
Despite a shock 3-0 loss at strugglers Náutico, Palmeiras remain five points clear at the top
of the Brasileiro with nine games to go. As usual when the Palestra Itália outfit slip up, none of
their main rivals were able to take advantage as no one in the top five managed to win.

This is a bit a late, but it confirms what i wrote earlier this week about the 25 round of
Brasileirao. It was a Palmeiras round. The club visited Cruzeiro and performed like a club coached
by Muricy Ramalho: solid in the defense and precise in the counter-attacks. The winning goal, by
Vagner Love, was constructed in such fashion.

Week 24 is finally in the books after the all the matches were finally ended after Wednesday. São

Neto Berola scores Vitória's second against Palmeiras
Palmeiras went down 3-2 away to Vitória but second-placed Internacional failed to take
advantage by losing by the same score at home to Cruzeiro.

points.

Even though the nation was transfixed on Brazil's big win versus Argentina, the Campeonato

Moscow and scored the game winning goal from a PK in the 73rd minute.

Jean's presentation was today and he expressed his hope to score many goals for the club. When
asked about his tag as a player who never scores he had this to say - and I paraphrase:
"This thing that i don't like to score goals doesn't exist. Everyone likes goals. It is my
character to seek spaces on the field and move towards the center forward position.

He official signed a contract today but he hasn't been presented yet. Can he solve our striker
problem? Who knows. Right now I'll take anyone over K.P.
Jean is 27 years old and formerly played with Flamengo, Fluminese, Corinthians, and Cruzeiro.
Before he signed for Santos he rescinded his contract with Al-Sharjah of the United Arab Emirates.

Yesterday Santos played to a scoreless draw away against Cruzeiro in a thoroughly entertaining
game. The end to end action saw chances a plenty for both teams. However, due to some exceptional
goalkeeping - and some poor finishing - the game ended scoreless.

Honesty is not the best policy. Not in the secretive world of the football transfer market. In that
world something more like poker is the best policy, with everyone keeping their cards close to
their chest in case the opposition figures out what you've got and what you want. Which would
explain why Benfica publicly denied [.

The Rumour
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez remains keen on Cruzeiro striker Kleber.
The 25 year-old revealed last month that Liverpool had made an offer for him.
And Globoesporte says Liverpool are still interested and Kleber could be the next to follow new
Villarreal signing Nilmar to leave the Brazilian championship for a big European club.

Fortunately, in a moment of card waving flare, the referee mistakenly showed the wrong color.

Lo zero a zero dell'andata, rimediato in terra argentina soprattutto grazie alla grande prova

Cruzeiro di guardare con fiducia alla gara di ritorno, che si sarebbe giocata nello splendido
impianto amico di Belo Horizonte.

The man never stops even when we seem tired of talking about him.
This Sunday, he had his footprint taken to be kept at the Mineirao stadium. Before the match,
Cruzeiro, this Sunday's rival, honored the player they projected to the world. And when the action
took place, Ronaldo gave an assist, missed a penalty in lazy fashion and scored a goal.
