Premier League - Kaka, Robinho come to Arsenal

Eurosport - Thu, 13 Nov 16:22:00 2008

Arsenal's Emirates Stadium will host Brazil's international friendly against World Cup-winners Italy on February 10.

2007 Brazil Kaka Robinho Ronaldinho - 0

It will be the fourth time Brazil will play at Arsenal since September 2006, following games against Argentina, Portugal and Sweden.

National coach Dunga has adopted London as a second home for friendlies, as most of his squad is based in Europe and matches in England ease the players' travelling burden.

It will allow fans to see stars such as Kaka (pictured left), Robinho (middle), Ronaldinho (right), Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso and Fabio Cannavaro, along with former Gunner Gilberto Silva.

Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood said: "Brazil and Italy both have proud and very successful football histories and we are looking forward to welcoming the teams and many Brazilian and Italian supporters to Emirates Stadium in February.

"Some of the world's finest footballers will be on display and we are all very excited at what is sure to be a thrilling contest."

    From eric, on Fri 14 Nov 3:29AM

  11. #29 talks the most sense here (except being a­ 'plud). I'm Man Utd, but I still think the­ Emirates is a great place, and to be able to watch this­ game is a real treat for the British Football Fan!

    From optimus prime, on Thu 13 Nov 11:27PM

  12. it seem most moron's on here think the brazil­ star's are signing for arsenal
    they're just­ playing a freindly there you muppet's .try reading­ the article not just the headline

    From annie m, on Thu 13 Nov 11:23PM

  13. Arsenal Dont need the likes of kaka and robinio for­ success, its simply experence of younger players at­ arsenal that is not making them acheive there target­ for trophies amd injury of Equado and Van Persie­ havn't helped over the last seasons, it was wrong­ to let matthew flamini go to Ac Milan, Arsenal adapted­ and again everyone thought that arsenal were doomed­ when theiry henry left but they managed and also­ adapted and went on without him, their football is­ great and that football will turn into trophies as the­ team gets stronger and more experenced.Arsene likes to­ devolop there team from youth and the Arsenal board­ wont pay 30 million for 1 player

    From garydeanmay, on Thu 13 Nov 11:03PM

  14. thet should have a chance of playing the golden young­ Arsenal scuod
    and Dunga should give Denilson Neves­ Dasilva chance of playing at home stadium

    From osano, on Thu 13 Nov 10:50PM

  15. I cant beleive some people on here! I'm a massive­ Liverpool fan (ex season ticket holder) and have been­ lucky enough to travel to games across Europe, the­ Emirates is one of the best grounds I've been to by­ a long way. NO QUESTION!! I've seen some of the­ best footballers in the world play, having the world­ champions and brazil playing here is brilliant for fans­ to be able to watch amazing players in the flesh! Real­ football fans who go to games will tell you there is­ nothing better than seeing a superb game when your in­ the stands, its what its all about!!! Well done Arsenal­ for securing this games! It can only be good for the­ game!

    From Stephan, on Thu 13 Nov 10:42PM

  16. Two points:
    The Emirates is for a fact the best ground­ compared to any other grounds in the UK (take a medal­ gunners' groundsmen) - no question. Second point,­ don't bother commenting unless you have some grip­ on the English language - YOU JUST LOOK STUPID AN NO­ ONE TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY! (I refer to Manchester United,­ Liverpool an Chelsea' fans in particular.......

    From slivatree, on Thu 13 Nov 10:25PM
