Renteria ... renderá?

A época de Janeiro na contratação de jogadores revelou a enorme crise por que passam os clubes portugueses. O Benfica contratou por empréstimo Derlei e para o lugar do central Ricardo Rocha contratou um brasileiro imberbe (19 anos), Daniel Luís. Um clube em três frentes e só com três defesas centrais!

O Sporting, o melhor que conseguiu foi Bruno Pereirinha, de 19 anos um jogador feito nas escolas do clube e que regressa. A tentativa de contratação, por empréstimo do centrocampista brasileiro Fabio Rochemback, que já foi do clube, não resultou.

O Porto que não tem contado com Adriano, contratou Rentería um colombiano que iniciou a carreira no El Boyacá Chicó FC clube do seu país, mas ultimamente estava a jogar no Brasil. Em 18 meses, participou em 35 jogos e marcou ... seis golos! (ai Adriano, Adriano...), pelo que também não deve ser «grande espingarda».

É a crise!!!

Porém, o Beira-Mar inscreveu onze novos jogadores. Ou seja, uma equipa nova de futebol. Parece que até agora não a tinha... É obra!!

Poema da Utopia - Fernando Namora

Na efeméride da morte do autor:

LUA ( photo from here)

A noite
caiu sem manchas e sem culpa.
Os homens largaram as máscaras de bons actores.
Findou o espectáculo. Tudo o mais é arrabalde.

No alto, a utópica Lua vela comigo
E sonha coalhar de branco as sombras do mundo.
Um palhaço, a seu lado, sopra no ventre dos búzios.
Noite! Se o espectáculo findou
Deixa-nos também dormir.

Fernando Gonçalves Namora (n. Condeixa-a-Nova em 15 de Abril 1919; m. em Lisboa a 31 Jan 1989)

Dia da Não Violência e para a Educação pela Paz

30 de Janeiro: Dia Escolar da Não-Violência e da Paz

Esta iniciativa, independente e não-governamental, foi levada avante pelo pedagogo e poeta espanhol Llorenc Vidal. A comemoração deste dia, a partir de 1964, teve como objectivo chamar a atenção para a necessidade de uma educação permanente pela Não-Violência e pela Paz. Nesta data (dia da morte de Mahatma Gandhi), procura-se igualmente sensibilizar para a tolerância, solidariedade e respeito pelos direitos humanos junto das escolas de todo o mundo.

And because peace is possible

Tão cedo passa... - Ricardo Reis

Tão cedo passa tudo quanto passa!
Morre tão jovem ante os deuses quanto
Morre! Tudo é tão pouco!
Nada se sabe, tudo se imagina.
Circunda-te de rosas, ama, bebe
E cala. O mais é nada.
