Surprising news from São Paulo, where the Paulista selection was announced by the appointed head coach Fernando Cabral (coach of Sao Josè Futsal, Paulista current champion). As you will easily notice, the number 11 shirt seems to belong to a worlwide well-known player like Adriano Foglia (there indicated as belonging to São Paulo F.C and today celebrating his 28th birthday!). Same name you will find involved in another paulista competition like the Taca EPTV, with the Altinópolis club, together with another "inactive" and former player of the italian league like Thyago Santi Piffer. Foglia can't currently play in the italian league, with his club Montesilvano, due to his doping suspension (same as his team mate Dudù). The Paulista selection is at the beginning of their preparation for the next Brasileiro de Seleções event that will take place in August.
