Los portugueses resaltando la principal virtud del mudo: la anticipacion.

Jugo bien en la victoria de su equipo anoche.

Absolutely stunning display by Mudo against Arsenal! It was unanimous between fans and press that he was one of the best on the pitch yesterday.

I'm afraid that he might be leaving soon for a bigger european club, after such a display in such an important match...

great for mudo =)

 

Yeah, I read he destroyed Bendtner too

 

The ref gave him a get out of jail card. That was a clear PK on Vela.

 

Agreed but Chamakh (who assisted Vela with a header) was also on an offside position. Anyway, Mudo had to risk the tackle or else Vela would be free to shoot from a very close range.

 

I just saw the last 30 minutes or so and wasn't too impressed.

Great win for Braga, though. Hopefully they can continue their run.

 

For those who were not convinved of Rodriguez great display, he's just been named for the UEFA team of the week:

Matheus, Braga's forward (who scored twice against Arsenal), was also named for the team of the week.

 

yeah i saw the game, he was very solid.
Pedro you know which are the ¨top¨teams he´s been linked to?

 

Yeah, though so too. His best skill, without a doubt though, is anticipation and positioning.

 

he was never fast solo k es un maestro pa la anticipasion perro con velosidad siempre le ganan

 

Yeah, that was a stupid thing to say. There aren't many defenders with Mudo's speed...

He isn't being linked to any particular club in portuguese press but everyone knows that Sporting Lisbon (mainly) and Porto have shown interest. More so now that his contract link with Braga is ending. Anyway, I think there's a good chance that he might be transfered in January. Several european clubs (notably french) have been watching Braga european matches. Braga is known for doing business without too much publicity so it wouldn't surprise me at all to see him leave soon.

The main problem for Braga is that Moisés (the other first choice centre-half) is too nearing the end of his contract...

 

Mudo is bound to stay till the end of the season (June 2011) now that Moisés, Braga's other top center-back, was transferred to Qatar. I hope we manage to sign a new deal with Rodriguez for a few more years with us but I doubt it.

Anyway he was named captain in the last match and he did very well, as the team finally won an away match. He was decisive in our second goal:

nice, didnt know he could do that heh

 

O Rodriguez jogando pa' frente!?

 

Porto will finally sign him?

 

Probably, we'll need a CB and rumors are that Rodriguez is coming our way.

Are you a fan of Guti.HAZ, by the way?

 

Lol, no. My last name is Gutierrez.

 

Played good too, and was captain.
