BARÇA! BARÇA!


So Barcelona finally achieved the title! Yesterday was the day in which it won the UEFA Champions League, the greatest title in Europe. Congratulations!

There are lots of brazilian players on Barcelona (nicknamed as Barça by its fans): Sylvinho, Edmílson, Beletti, (the now naturalized portuguese but born in Brazil) Deco, and the main star Ronaldinho.

But that is not the reason I admire this football club. I do it because differently of Real Madrid, the management was perfect! For about 3 years Barcelona stopped the politics of spending money in order to hire the right players (and not the most expensive). The work of the coach Frank Rijkard was also supported by the presidency and this is the result:
spanish and european champion.

Now, in December, Barcelona will play the FIFA World Championship of Clubs in Japan (Yokohama, probably) with the African, Asian and Libertadores's champions (Libertadores is a tournament which evolves the whole Latin America). Perhaps Barça plays a match with a brazilian team!
