Nenê might comeback to Brazil in January

Nenê might come back to Brazil (where he already represented Palmeiras and Santos) in January and to represent Corinthians. Rumors today say the primordial reason is so he can have more spot-light to the National Team. Though, he also leaves the European door open by saying he can play "3 more years in Europe". Milan wanted him in August, but due to the financial terms the deal didn't wen through.

It seems being the best player in Ligue 1 for the third straight year wasn't enough for Mano Menezes to have him picked to the Canarinha.

Royal farewell for Roberto Carlos

Brazilian football legend, Roberto Carlos, has shared plans for his farewell match, in which his current side Anzhi Makhachkala will face Spanish giants, Real Madrid.

“I imagine how such a game may look,” Roberto Carlos told Sport-Express newspaper. “I'm going to talk this through with [Anzhi owner] Suleyman Kerimov. There are some ideas. But I’m sure it’ll be Anzhi and Real.”

According to the 39-year-old, there’s also a possibility the clubs will play two matches – one in Makhachkala and the other in the Spanish capital.

“We’ll try to hold the farewell game this year,” he added. “If not – then a year later.”

Roberto Carlos became a worldwide star while playing for Real Madrid, with whom he spent 11 seasons and won the UEFA Champions League three times.

He joined Anzhi in 2011, scoring five goals in 50 appearances for the club where he was soon made captain.

This March the 2002 FIFA World Cup winner played his last competitive football match and turned to coaching as he’s now helping manager, Guus Hiddink.

Neymar is better than Lionel Messi - Clodoaldo

Neymar better than Messi, says Brazil legend

Brazil legend Clodoaldo said Neymar is now the best player in the world.

Brazil legend Clodoaldo said Neymar is now the best player in the world.

Clodoaldo said even when he is not at his best, the Santos forward still contributes greatly to his team's cause - unlike Barcelona rival Lionel Messi.

The latter is widely regarded as the greatest talent in the game today, having broken all sorts of records with Barca and picked up the Ballon d'Or for the past three years.

However, Clodoaldo believes Neymar is superior because he never has a bad game.

"I'm an admirer of his," the World Cup winner told Goal.com.

"I think he is now the best player in world football.

"I say that while acknowledging that, Messi, for example, is fantastic, but when he plays badly, he plays very badly.

"But Neymar, when he plays badly, he still manages to be a seven (out of 10). He can have a reasonable influence on the game even when he is performing at his minimum level, which is a very positive side of Neymar."

Clodoaldo also weighed in on the ongoing debate over whether the 20-year-old attacker needs to move overseas at some stage in his career to fully realise his potential, claiming that Neymar may come to accept that if he is to be accepted as better than Messi, he will have to prove himself in Europe.

"I think that the future will bring a need for Neymar moving to Europe," the former Santos midfielder said.

"I believe he will be here for another good while yet, but I am sure that the need and the curiosity to play against the great teams of Italy, Germany, England and Spain will appeal to him and awaken his curiosity to know how he would fare in these leagues.

"In Santos, he could end up participating in tournaments against Real Madrid, against Chelsea and so on. But if this does not happen in the coming years, I think we'll see him moving to another continent.

"I'm not saying it will happen now but maybe after the World Cup (in 2014).

"He may feel the need to leave not because he will take the crown of Pele, but because he will want to take the crown of Messi."

Neymar's contract with Santos runs until 2014 and it has been claimed that he will link up with Messi's Barcelona at that point.

Ronaldinho Is Back!

Ronaldinho moved to Flamengo to increase his chances of international football - Action Images

Brazil national team coach Mano Menezes is happy with Ronaldinho's performance during the win against Ghana.

The Flamengo winger played his first match for the international team in ten months and he was able to show glimpses of his class during the match.

Although it wasn't his best performance, Menezes confirmed after the game, we could see more of Ronaldinho playing for the Selecao.

Menezes told reporters: "He (Ronaldinho) played very well and he is a player we need to bring back into the team.

"He got into his rhythm and showed what he is all about in the second half. He played really well and the Ghana keeper (Adam Kwarasey) made a few wonderful saves from him.

"We need to bring him back into the international team."

Brazil won the game through Leandro Damiao's first international goal on the stroke of half-time and Menezes was grateful for the win in what was a test for his side.

Menezes continued: "I am very satisfied as we were playing a very good team. We didn't concede any chances to our opponents and it's very importnat we could get back to winning games after losing our last games.

"We didn't start very well but once we got into our rhythm we played very well, but we could have scored more goals.

Daniel Opare was harshly sent off for Ghana with two bookable offences by referee Mike Dean and Menezes believes it could have been a much closer game, if it wasn't for the sending off. 

"This Ghana team was more or less the team that played in the World Cup. They are a bit ahead of us but we are still rebuilding our team.

"We are bringing through a whole new generation of players. What makes it difficult to judge is that it wasn't 11v 11. If it was 11 v 11, it would have been much closer."
