Video Brazil Football Players Diego, Pato, Ronaldinho arriving in Shengai for the Bronze Medal Match Brazil - Belgium

Covering the 2008 Summer Olympics Game in Beijing  from an Italian Perspective


It is totally understandable that the mood of Brazilian players, especially from Brazil Captain Ronaldinho, is not very optimistic.  On the contrary, after their terrible defeat against their eternal enemy Argentina by 3 goals to none where Brazil was unrecognizable, the disillusion is clearly evident in their faces. 

Still, I will follow the match for our 2 AC Milan forwards Alexandre Pato and Ronaldinho. I cannot leave them alone in this tough time. If their morale is down, so is mine because the way they lost was unforgivable.

Click the  video from Globo Esportes to watch  the Brazilian National Olympic team arriving to Shengai to play the Bronze Medal match against Belgium. 

You can watch Ronaldinho, Diego, Pato, Rafinha.....

Hey, come on, they have to get it over if not even losing this match, which will be really the end of Brazil coach Carlos Dunga and the chaos for the players.

Ironically, Brazil and Belgium played the first match of Group C and Brazil won on August 7, 2008. You bet now, Belgium would want to avenge this defeat.
Brazil 1 - 0 Belgium

After all, Brazilian players should not be sad because they had their chance to beat Argentina and win the Gold Medal but that "extra punch, going the extra mile," was not there. Simple as this.

I was glad --at least-- the team had the decency to please their fans waiting for them at the airport. No matter what... Brazil win or lose will always have the millions of fans worldwide... though "WE," including myself, rather have a winning Brazil winning with a jogo bonito. Don't you think?
