Day Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 FIVE-TIMES world champions Brazil could play in Derby next month. The Derby Telegraph understands Pride Park Stadium, the home of Derby County, is in the frame to stage Brazil's international against Ukraine on Monday, October 11. The Rams are favourites to be hosts although the club would not comment last night. Brazil are no strangers to playing in England. They have played five times at the Emirates, the home of Arsenal, in the past four years, where they have beaten Argentina, Portugal, Sweden, Italy and the Republic of Ireland. They also name strong teams for friendlies which could mean the likes of Kaka, Robinho, Maicon, Lucio and Dani Alves running out at Pride Park. The five played against the Republic in March, as did Julio Cesar, Ramires and Adriano. The match attracted a gate of 40,000. The one senior international played at Pride Park was England's victory over Mexico in May 2001, when 33, 597 watched Sven Goran Eriksson's side win 4-0. Brazil are due to play a friendly against Iran in Abu Dhabi the week before they face Ukraine. http://www.therams.co.uk/news/Brazil-set-play-Pride-Park-friendly/article-2691759-detail/article.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
