Brazilians crazy about Dejan Petkovic
…they even compare him with the legendary Zico


They call him “Pet” and no matter which team they are supporting: Brazilians are fascinated with the ‘gringo’ (the stranger) and keep on saying that he should become a naturalized Brazilian in order to play for the Seleção. In the country, that won 5 World Cups so far, people are wondering where this foreigner comes from, because he seems not to belong to the Earth. Users exchanging opinions in web forums, joke that he could be a native from another planet and believe that he must have superpowers. Even Brazilian football players describe Dejan ‘Rambo’ Petkovic, who was selected as the best midfielder of the Brazilian league in 2005, with words full of admiration: “extraordinary”, “sensational”, “a unique personality”, “a joyful spirit, inspirational for the entire team”, “a spectacular player”, “with a rhythm and quality very rare”, “an artist with the ball” and… they even compare him to the legendary Zico.

For the supporters of Flamengo “Pet” played the main part in winning the third consecutive title in the Carioca Championship. For the fans of Vitoria he is the most fabolous player they can remember and still regret that he left them. Vasco da Gama’s supporters speculate, that he showed his best performances there and people of Fluminense are full of gratitude towards the goals he is currently scoring for them and his numerous unforgettable performances.

Most of them cannot explain themselves, why the coach of Serbia & Montenegro is not counting on him for the WC 2006 and want him as 22nd player in their own national team. They dream about “Pet” entering a difficult match beside Kakà and Ronaldinho, making some assists for Ronaldo or shooting the ball directly to Adriano’s head.

Mario Jorge Lobo Zagallo, technical coordinator of the Brazilian Seleção, criticized the attitude of the FA of Serbia Montenegro, telling that they are blind if they don’t see the talent of “Pet”. In the opinion of the journalist Eduardo Vieira da Costa, writing for Folha do Sau Paulo, this uncertainty about “Pet” in Germany 2006 is a great injustice. Meanwhile, the ‘Serbo-Brazilian’ is still hoping to be called up by Ilija Petkovic for the friendly of Serbia Montenegro against Tunisia on the 1st of march, so he can prove what his true worth is.

Não há nenhum clube do Mundo que possua mística igual à do Benfica. E é este, afinal, um dos grandes segredos dos seus êxitos e da sua força.

My suggestion:
Change this thread's name to "Brazillian Football Thread"

Flamengo wants Recoba. But the team is broke.

They have no money.

They are interest in Rivaldo too, but i don't think he will go there.


Flamengo sign Luizao (striker in WC 2002).


Edilson is going to play for Vasco. He will play with Romario and try to help him to get 1000 goals.

Gustavo Nery is the number ono today to be the backup of Roberto Carlos.


That's right. My mistake.


There is a Diego Souza in Flamengo. I don't know if is the same, but he looks to be a good player.


I never saw him playing a lot, but i heard good things of him.

I was actually about to say that myself.

Could someone let me know how to say Brazillian Football as the Brazillians would say it?

Yesterday, Elber played for Cruzeiro as a starter for the first time.


He was great. Scored one goal. He has 3 goals in 5 games this year.


Cruzeiro won 2 x 0 against Uberlandia in "Campeonato Mineiro".

Great to hear it...Why did Elber actually go back to Brasil? I mean, IMO he could easily play in Europe for another 2 years. He played well for Lyon and then he left...still don't know why. Did he tell the reasons in any interview?
And who was (is) the second Cruzeiro's striker that time?
