A screen-shot of the Peres's interview While everyone was gluing on the AFF Suzuki Cup, a Brazilian acquaintance sent me weblink of the interview he conducted with Home United's midfield maestro Peres de Oliveira, who currently holidaying at home in Brazil. In this interview, Peres shared with Renato Andreão, who conducted the interview, his thoughts on various issues like the recent visit to Singapore by the Brazilian Olympic squad, the two coaches that he felt indebted to in his footballing career and what he likes about Singapore.

That Vietnamese were not sharp in front of goal. We were lucky... because birthday boy Lionel Lewis saved our day at goal. We were lucky... to have not a goal conceded. We were lucky... that we are coming home (again to Kallang) in one piece, but to put ourselves under a lot of (unnecessary) pressure. Some feedback I gathered the following day...

Many Thanks to Mr Paul Green (back in Australia "for the time being" hehehe...), who has been a wonderful and loyal supporter of "BoLASEPaKO" I have not decided what to do with my "BOCAP", on how to market and peddle them.
