Once upon a time you dressed so fine... and you were wearing the brazilian shirt! Nothing new from Italy, where another former canarinhos player turned into a brazzurro. After Alexandre (Feller if you follow the italian way of deleting the players apelidos), Vinicius (Bacaro), Fabiano (Assad), Jonas (Pinto), Jocimar (Jubanski), Parrel (Ferreira), Saad (Assis) and Seco (Zanetti) now time has come for Nuno (he played the KL World 5 2003 with Brazil, together with Fabiano and Serjao, how weird is futsal!), or Arceni as they will call it. And we didn't take into account the extra italian examples like the "now russian" Cirilo, the "portuguese" Leitao, the "belgian" Lucio, the "azeri" Serjao and the "spanish" Marcelo. If you want, call it "futsal development". Coming back to the brazzurri side, this is the roster announced by the local head coach Roberto Menichelli in order to face Romania in a double friendly challenge.

Note: Names mentioned before are just the ones who played for Brazil before joining a european selection, unfortunately the naturalized brazilian players in those and other selections are much more than this!
