<P AQrj1="0" PDp0l="0">"We are extremely happy to bring back some of the core talent from our inaugural season, as we look forward to the 2007 season and beyond. At the same time, we know the talent level in our region is outstanding and we are confident that our upcoming tryouts will fulfill our expectations and once again contribute to the discovery of new players", said Luiz Muzzi, General Manager for Miami FC.
Before reuniting with his Miami FC fellow players for the 2007 USL season, Sean Fraser, who had an outstanding 2006 season with the club, will play his first game tonight at the First Division championship in Rio de Janeiro. The first game of the 23-year-old Jamaican, playing for Boavista, second division champion last year, will be against Americano, in the city of Saquarema, on the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
On February 4th, Sean Fraser will have the opportunity to return to the legendary Maracan?stadium where he first played at the young age of 15, in a friendly game against Vasco da Gama. At this time, the opponent will be the popular Flamengo.
Another player who was very successful last year playing for Miami FC and is attracting much attention overseas is Diego Walsh. The Brazilian has been driving Adelaide United fans crazy, with beautiful plays and dedication to the club which acquired his rights at the end of 2006.
Adelaide United finished the regular season of the Australian championship second only to Melbourne. The playoffs start next Sunday and Diego will be a starter. The athlete, who was born in Santos, state of S?Paulo, Brazil, scored 5 goals last season for Miami FC, playing alongside Rom?o and Zinho.
"It is a pleasure for me and for our organization to see our players performing at such high levels in different parts of the world. We work day in and out to give players such opportunities and I am sure more success stories are just around the corner", concluded Luiz Muzzi.
