Here is a link to the A Bola article:
Quote from the magazine:
"the players prefer not to think that there are strange things in the Portuguese league."

(I used Google Translater to change the Portuguese into English. :P)

I hope you understand what I meant to say! But really, don't get me wrong, I really like Falcao, he's a great player and I'm happy for him and he seems to be a very intelligent and sweet person. I'm sorry for saying this things but the last week is just being stupid! Porto is a synonym of corruption and that kind of things just make me lol! But I do hope Falcao does a great season!

If I could I would fly there twice a year...I know someone who works in a hotel in Lisbon and is a card-carrying Benfica supporter. He knows everything...LOL...but when we were there last May he didn't say anything about any corruption...I know that Porto has been fined for match-fixing in the past. You would think they would learn from it! I knew Porto and Benfica were rivals but I thought it was somewhat 'friendly'...I know how sweet and kind Portuguese people are and I figured that was why the rivalry was not all intense like in Italy or Holland and elsewhere where ppl kill each other...:(
Coming from Colombia where fans kill players for a bad game and players kill fans who threaten them, I guess Falcao should know about this kind of stuff. He is very religious, and a very nice guy, but he is also very tough...hard as nails. :)
