In the future we will include more photos and details including opinions about tactics and squad selection but this weekend it wasn't possible due to the fact I'm a little under the weather plus I did not go to the Academy personally. The team photo was graciously gifted to us by Ricardo who runs their (his and Susana's) excellent blog (www.leoezinhosemaccao.blogspot.com) where you can find a lot more details and photos.

According to Ricardo versatile midfielder Adrien Silva was the MOM and I'd like to point out that in a starting XI full of 18 year olds (2nd year Juniors) there was one 17 year old (1st year Junior) and it was indeed Adrien Silva who if you well remember was the player Chelsea tried to poach from us in December 2004.
