Summary: Anto is joined once again with TV Globo commentator Bira Brasil for another super show that takes a look into some of the major stories, transfer rumors with steam at a key juncture for Brazilian teams in the Copa Libertadores and at the start of another Campeonato Brasileiro that looks to be as unpredictable and competitive as a season ago. We begin with the four clubs in the quarterfinal stage to gauge their potential as the decisive return legs come into view and how each stands poised for the remainder of the most important professional club tournament in South America, a competition which has brought together some of the biggest names in football and many established players including the likes of Neymar, Ganso, Riquelme, Deco and a host of others. We also look at the Vasco-Corinthians battle in particular as it features a rematch of the two top teams in Brazil a season ago as well as the rockstars who are Santos, featuring the likes of two of the hottest young players in the game today, who might just be better than a season ago. We also evaluate the full bracket to consider who the favorites are and whether Universidad de Chile might just be the biggest threat to the Brazilian giants for continental giants. Particular emphasis on the relationship between Neymar and Ganso to determine where they are in their respective careers and how off the field stability has helped them grow as professional footballers, with Ganso perhaps as the bigger threat to move to Europe first. Then we turn to the Brasileiro for all the big storylines there including who are the contenders, who might be on the way into Brazil and out of the country during the next transfer window which will influence who could put themselves into view for a championship. The strongest teams at the moment might just be Corinthians and Santos who have the right combination of either balance or the required superstar requirement to mount a title challenge. On the edge might just be Vasco, Fluminese, Sao Paolo and Internacional who each have reasons to emerge with key players who seem to have the stage to shine. Then we turn to the matter of Kaka and Clarence Seedorf rumored on the way into the league and Ganso who looks to be involved in a player swap for Robinho with none other than Brazilian football legend Ronaldo and his marketing company providing the consultation. We also visit the continued problems for Flamengo who look to be more of a nightclub than a football team, the rumors of another Luiz Felipe Scolari move, the impact of the Summer Olympics on teams with younger players in the Brazilian race and the lasting exile of former Brazil manager Dunga who has yet to receive the call to return to management. Loads here with rich background into all the big developments including a rumor factory that might just be as big as the competition itself.
