Thinkerman Posted December 3, 2003 Mancini wants Brazil chance Wednesday 3 December, 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After convincing Roma of his abilities, Amantino Mancini is looking for a place in the Brazilian national side. "Everyone is saying good things about me," stated the youngster. "And obviously playing for your country is the objective of every footballer." The 23-year-old has arguably been the revelation of the season in Serie A so far after a number of outstanding displays. The South American arrived at the Stadio Olimpico this summer as a replacement for the Milan bound Marcos Cafu. Few believed that this virtual unknown, who struggled at Venezia last term, would succeed but he has stunned everyone with his performances on the right hand side of midfield. He also booked himself a place in the hearts of Roma fans forever after his splendid back-heeled volley in the derby win over Lazio. "That goal changed my life," he admits. "Everyone wanted to compliment me. Playing for this club is simply the best." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
