The Brazilian Football Show S.C. have a very young side playing this season in the Premier Division of the Middlesex, the average age is 23 years old, something different from last season when the Brazilians became the champions of Division 1 with an average age of 26 years old.

The Club might have the youngest, or one of the youngest, sides of the league this season.

The Manager of the Club, Paulo Cezar Batista, is not afraid to send young players onto the pitch, but is very encouraged by the performance the young lads are demonstrating so far: "I don't mind working with young players once they have good qualities - by the way I would prefer to work with young players because I want to form a good squad for the next three or four years and not only for one season as most of the clubs in the Middlesex do".

The Manager has been sending into his line up for the first five games two 16, two 18, one 19, and two 20 year old players, and having one 17, and other 18 on the bench, the Club played 6 games, won 3, drew 1 and lost the other two.

The players Adriano Moraes and Alan Morais are only 16 years old and have been doing a very good job considering their age", the Manager said.

Adriano who is a defender joined the Club only two months ago, having started his career in Atletico Mineiro, Brazil, and was recommended to Brazilian Football Show S.C. by Gilberto Silva of Arsenal.
