Spanish 2nd = Brazilian 1st
No, just no. You guys really have no idea what you're saying, and never bothered to watch the brasileiro, to say nonsense like this. It's as dumb as pele claiming neymar is better than Messi.
Dont agree with that at all.
From what I have seen of both Paulista is on average stronger than Segunda and by a fair bit.
Paulista is weaker than Segunda. Most of the teams are semi-professional. There's teams that are not on any divisions of the Brasileiro. But the level on paulista is miles away from the brasileiro.
Does anyone know who Andre Cury is? A piece on the biggest portal here claims
he is Barça's representative here in south america.
Some bit of what he said to them:
"To us(Barça) is indifferent if he comes in july, december ou summer 2014. We want Neymar at any time, and this isn't new. It's since 2011. If we have to negotiate, pay, we'll do that. If he's a free agent next year, we'll go after him. When Neymar gives the ok, we'll talk to him. It's up to Neymar. Our radar is on him."
