Quotable »
In the old days, the boy was born and his dream was to play football and to play for Brazil. Today, the boy is born and he dreams of becoming a footballer so he can turn professional and be sold to a club in Europe. The dream has changed. (Alexandre Gallo, manager, Figueirense, 19 Dec 07)
