Soccer in Brazil

The Brazilian style of play was so unique that traditional soccer fans everywhere took notice.

Rather than the long, predictable passes and running, the Brazilian virtually danced down the field, moving the ball quickly with short passes and constant movement. Their game had a rhythm and grace that seemed natural.

Brazilian soccer can be described as a combination of unmatched technical skill with the ball, highly agile and coordinated athletic movement, and a goal scoring philosophy utilizing short passes and a patient yet creative and unpredictable attack.

American players who have trained in Brazil witness and experience the passion and love of the game which is so prevalent in the Brazilian culture and its players. It is this passion helps develop great players.

When players are enjoying themselves, they come to practice early, leave late, and look forward to their next opportunity to train or compete.

I want to see young American goalkeepers/players with the same passion and skill.
