- Sorín

















As some of you should know, last Wednesday was Sorín's last game. Not only for Cruzeiro, but for his whole career. "With 62.400 fans present in Mineirão, Sorín entered in camp for his last time with the blue shirt against Argentino Juniors (the team that revealed him) won by Cruzeiro by 2 to 1" (Globoesporte). As a player who made history in the blue team, Sorín, deservedly, had his foot modeled for the 'Calçada da Fama do Mineirão'. He also won a card which will aloud him to be present at all games, for free. In addition, while the players were warming up, the Brazilian band 'Skank', led by the Cruzeirense vocal Samuel Rosa, played to cheer the crowd up. Gabriel O Pensador (another musician) also was there singing.

During the first half, Sorín played all the 45 minutes for the blue team. He also had two chances of scoring a goal, but the ball went out. When the second half started, he was playing for Argentinos Juniors, but he continued with the bottom part of the uniform of Cruzeiro. Finally, at 15 of the second half, Sorín was going to play again, and for the last time, for Cruzeiro. It was both sad and happy at the same time... And Sorín left the field saying that it "was wonderful to end up here. I love this team. It means so much to me." Aww hahaha I'm glad to say 'We are going to miss you' =')

PS: The whole money raised for this game went to charity, so did the food (some of the tickets could be bought by exchanging 2kg of non-perishable food).
