At the crack of dawn on Monday (early morning of the 11th), FALINMINCO FOOTBALL CLUB won the second round of the final in Brazil with a narrow 1-0 victory over Minnelli Road, winning the title for the second consecutive round with a 4-1 aggregate score. The winner of the title, a former Chelsea star, made his return to the soccer world a great story.
Ferrarules, who was part of the 2014-15 Premier League winning side, won the League Cup in his first season with Chelsea. His years at Atlético Madrid saw him win not only the Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup, but also La Liga and the Copa del Rey. When he returned to Brazil and joined Faroamingo, he was even more rewarding, winning the Barclays Premier League, Barclays Premier Cup and Copa Libertadores, with which the Brazilian national team won the Intercontinental Cup and Copa America. The Brazilian national team also won the Intercontinental Cup and the Copa America. Until December last year, he hung up his boots and retired from playing for Farimingo.
The 39-year-old then began his coaching career as the coach of the U20s at FALMINGO, where he was appointed in September when they sacked Didi. Despite his inexperience, his leadership earned him the respect of the players. Just like the new United captain's performance on the pitch, the team became more and more solid in defense and full of energy between offense and defense under his leadership.
