Arsenal’s Brazilians put a human face on football
As I wrote yesterday, I don’t want to meet the prima donnas in football - I want to meet real people, players that I could sit and chat with, and get to like as actual people and not as footballers.
Thanks to this video (hat tip ANR), I now have 3 more players on already-long list of footballers to meet. The fact that they’re Arsenal fans is ironic, but to me that’s what football is about - being able to go beyond your rivalries and bias and to see the qualities of other teams and other players.
Plus I think Baptista is a fantastic player, and if they get him I’d be a bit jealous.
Gilberto Silva, Denilson and Julio Baptista with their instruments play samba at home in London.

attach the actual video!!! I cant see it otherwise!
the video is no longer available
i think you should all leave cristiano ronaldo alone! it is his life let him live it the way he wants to. i am a big ronaldo fan i love him so so so much so just let him live his life how he wants to. you only live once so you may as well just enjoy to the full and if that is how he wants to live his life then just let him get on with it instead of everyone hassling him over weather he had 5 hookers. and by the way why just blame cristiano when nani and anderson were there aswel. just get on with your lives instead of fussing over theirs.
It is not working the above video.
