Indeed, these 2 big names had personal reasons to move to Brazil, but still, it’s worth celebrating.

God knows that if a similarly symbolic thing happened in England, the British media would have celebrated it in massive headlines filled with hyperboles and talks of how utterly beautiful and desirable to play in England is.

I suggest that the Brazilian football community lose their crap too. If only to be heard and gain the respect of the the insular islanders over in Europe…
