He was named player of the tournament in another Under 15 international competition held at Old Trafford.He has scored twice in three games in the on-going Under 17 Championships in Ecuador, a winning goal versus Venezuela and a strike in a defeat against Paraguay that broke through the net. Brazil are next in action later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had be happy if he can speak English though Just the whole 'new Kaka' thing...Kaka and Carlo are very close and Kaka's fluent Italian would have helped massively in that relationship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justin_3d Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Keep it coming. I was saying some time ago that Carlo is a Brazilian player lover. His AC Milan had a lot of Brazilians, and he is doing the same thing over at Chelsea. And I am loving it. All this myth that Brazilians can't play in the Premier is being put to bed. In fact one Brazilian player spoke about the great thing Ramires and David Luiz has shown at the premier:"I am really, really happy with the way he has arrived, because I know how difficult it is to adapt in the Premier League. "He is already scoring a lot of goals and maybe people were not expecting this. And they have been important goals as well so I am happy with the way he is playing. "Ramires is also doing really well and we are happy because I know how difficult it is for a Brazilian player to come to the Premier League and do well. "Hopefully more Brazilians will come and help teams in the Premier League."And yes I hope we get more Brazilians. Neymar next please.

spuz 143 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 We had Emerson Thome over 10 years ago and he was good. I wouldn't say no to a good 7 or 8 top brazilians in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose M 140 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Him moving here just shows the club and Romans intent of buying the worlds top young future stars. What makes me skeptical about Piazon is that he hasn't been a first team starter at Soa Paulo. Regardless He'll thrive at Cobham as we have the best youth facility on the planet imo. I just hope he lives up to all the hype. And that we don't get branded again for ruining a youth talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to Chelsea Lucas Piazon... be interesting to see how this pans out when he joins in January 2012.Doubt he will feature to much that season, his 1st full season he will slowly be getting use to the league, i think it will be his 3rd season (2nd full season) he will start to truly shine (similar to Ivanovic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If he can break the net I'm suprised Alex has not sent the goal rocketing into outer space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
