If Brazil win the Olympic football title next month, Singapore can take a little credit.
Samba stars Alexandre Pato and Anderson took time out yesterday to praise the Republic for a job well done.
They said their training stint here will go a long way towards ending Brazil’s Olympic jinx.
Said AC Milan’s Pato: ‘For sure, we can have an idea of how the games will be like.
‘We can see that the humidity is really high, so it gives us an idea of how it will be really like in China.’
Manchester United’s Anderson said that it was the ‘right choice’ to come to Singapore ahead of the Beijing Games. Like many tourists, the 20-year-old midfielder was impressed by the country’s cleanliness and hospitality.
More importantly, he believes Singapore has been the perfect launchpad for his team’s Olympic campaign.
