Blog of insider tips and predictions

Anderson Louis de Sousa -;Deco, playing for four years in Barcelona, helped the team to get out of the bosom of mediocrity and reach the glory. Former Porto midfielder, Euro Dragon Champion, was an unbeatable title in Frank Rajard`s team with Ronaldinho, Estoril, Messi, Puyol, Iniesta and Cavi. Today, 41, is an ambassador of a car company that is one of the main sponsors of the Champions League. Brazilian with a Portuguese passport won twice the tournament, the second with Barca in 2006 in Paris, and became Silver Ball 2004.
`What`s your life in Porto? `
`Very well, though I am now returning with great desire and happiness to Barcelona. I was born another daughter -;Olivia, a month and a half ago, and I`m going. However, I am already 41 years old, and at this age I have to go up because I have six children and I think that is enough. But I had said I would stop the third one
`How do you see Barca? `
- He is a favorite on all fronts, because there are more or fewer teams than last season. Yes, he lost Iniesta, and for me the big question was this -;how the center of the pitch without Andres without Cavi will look like. In my opinion, however, Arthur is a must, and if it continues in the same spirit, it will well solve the problem I saw. Arthur`s enthusiasm is back. He can contribute a lot.
`Do you think he will triumph in Barca? `
`I like it and I always thought it could triumph here. It has great qualities and can accelerate, control the game. This type of player, people like Iniesta, Chavi, Luka Modric, Tiago, can not find it easy. They are very special shapes, play more or less like me -;set the pace, control. Such players do not appear every day.

`Do not we overdo it by comparing it to Chavi? `
- I think so. I never liked comparisons. Chai is Chavez and Arthur is Arthur. He brought to Barca what she needed. But how things will go down depends on many factors because he is still young. It has to do more slowly because Cavi suffered a lot. When I arrived here, for me, he was already a fantastic player, but outside did not appreciate him enough. Neither he nor Iniesta. That`s why Arthur must keep walking on his way. And he knows it.
- Who are the main favorites for the trophy in the Champions League?
`Barca and Juventus are for me;the teams that have Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Barca has Leo and the team is in good shape, targeting all trophies, and Juventus wins a lot of Christiano`s presence. Liverpool also likes me very much with Mohammed Salah. Bayern Munich (Munich) I have not looked at them a lot, but they are still great. Real Madrid, of course. I do not write off Madrid but I think Barca and Juve are the biggest favorites this season. Still, I was saying the same season last season, and finally won Madrid, so it has to be treated with respect for this team.
`How do you see Cristiano in Juve? `
- I see him well, very motivated.
- Not much Madrid
- We will see. Only one who does not understand football can think that he will not miss Madrid. This is normal in the amount of goals and character as a contribution. He always stands out in Welsh and is the best player in the history of the club. D?
