Lucas Leiva insists friendship will go out of the window today when the Brazilians of Merseyside meet those from Manchester.

He and Fabio Aurelio have developed a close relationship with their four countrymen at Man City – as well as all the other Brazilians now plying their trade in the Barclays Premier League.

 

Lucas said: "On the pitch I'm going to want to beat them all, but it is getting towards being a little Brazilian colony in England.

 

"Once or twice a week – if we can – we will all get together somewhere, sit around and talk about Brazilian politics, sport, life and whatever in Portuguese.

 

"We have the twins and Anderson at United, all the boys at Man City – Jo, Robinho, Elano and Glauber Berti. Also Geovanni at Hull City is in the circle along with me and Fabio.

 

"It's nice to get together off the pitch to have a coffee, eat food from home and things like that."

 

i bet it takes ages for them to pass the sugar around...

served with beef paste on dry white sliced bread curling up a bit at the corners. in the background a crackling radio plays the walker brothers singing 'the sun ain't gonne shine any more'. a tear falls from geovanni's eye in synch with a raindrop running down the windowpane.

lucas complaining that the damp is making his hair difficult to manage, elano flicks sugar cubes across the table. robhino doesn't turn up.

haha, yeah robinho's wistfully sipping a tall skinny latte in the starbuck's on deansgate. the coffee cup looks freakishly large in his infantile hands. jo keeps on phoning him but he turns his mobile off.

mellow birds will make you smile. FACT.

It's a bit harsh on Cavalieri that they don't invite him

the twins making fun of the waitress by pretending to be each other

 

Lucas repeatedly asking who the hell Bert is

 

and all keeping looking at the door, more in hope than expectation that Robinho may swan in

'waiting for robinho' its beckettesque. of course, he never comes.
