this is why:
By Brian Homewood

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 4 (Reuters) - Pele woke up to a barrage of criticism in his native Brazil on Thursday after a leaked version of his list of the 100 greatest living players said he had chosen more Italians and Frenchmen than Brazilians.

The unofficial version, published by the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper on Wednesday and widely reproduced by other Brazilian media, said Pele had picked only 12 Brazilians compared to 14 each from Italy and France.


It also said he omitted Rivelino, his team mate in the 1970 World Cup team, and Nilton Santos, a left-back from the 1950s and 1960s whose outstanding technique earned him the nickname the Encyclopaedia of Football.

In the event, both were among 15 Brazilians, including Pele himself, in the official list of 125 players, announced by FIFA on Thursday. But the news, which dominated Brazilian sports pages for 24 hours, was too late to save Pele from the wrath of his former team mates.

Midfielder Gerson symbolically tore up a piece of paper purporting to be the list during a live television programme.

"Pele has the right to choose whoever he wants. But it's absurd to leave out team mates who carried him on their backs," said Gerson, who scored the second goal in Brazil's 4-1 win over Italy in the 1970 World Cup final.

Mario Zagallo, coach to the 1970 team, added: "I respect Pele, he was the world's greatest player, but this list leaves a lot to be desired."

"A lot of players who were champions alongside him have been relegated to the background."

Before discovering that he was included, Rivelino said: "I'm not upset. I know what I'm worth."

Pele was quick to distance himself from the unofficial version of the list.

Speaking at FIFA's centenary gala in London on Thursday he said: "I do not know where they got that list from, it was not yet complete.

"It was a mistake for them to reveal that list, we were still working on it."

Gerson, however, was unrepentant even after hearing the official version. "If he changed his mind again and included me, I wouldn't accept," he said.

Since Arsenal did not have many new transfers , everyone pretty much knows how each other play , thats why the movement and the flow the game is so smooth when Arsenal play :)

Hmm.. I heard Figo wanted to have a go at Man Utd though, and I have a feeling he might prefer Man Utd to Chelsea. The name 'Chelsea' isn't one which inspires awe for any other reason than their endless amounts of cash. It's a squad that lacks the history and myth of any real great European club, so my theory is some of the top players would simply ignore them for that reason.

Jaoquin.. he's been linked with plenty of clubs in the last year and I expect he might go to Madrid if Figo leaves anytime soon.

Mendieta hasn't exactly been the inpiration of the Middlesbrough campaign, and certainly still isn't the player he was, so I'm not sure why Chelsea would even want him.

Anyway I think sooner or later Chelsea's gonna some sort of backlash for this BS.. probably when Abramovich gets bored of his toy and withdraws. That is of course unless they do become one of the great European clubs in the next couple of years.. I'm sceptical though

i hear he's looking to buy himself a formula one team sooner or later, the amount of money he'd need to invest in that would dwarve the invetment he needs for chelsea, so he might get bored of football sooner than we think.

no doubt he can, it's more a matter of him getting bored of football in favour of Forumla 1 than a matter of finance. Then again you never know, if Chelsea can turn it on in the next couple of seasons and win everything they can win in Europe, he might just want to stay.

Anyway overnight Arsenal 5-1 Portsmouth
Man U 2-1 Fulham
