New Barça Boy Vieira Finds Success in Brazil

Every year, Brazilian soccer giant Sao Paulo FC* organizes a tournament during which its 34 official soccer schools compete for the title of Brazil’s best.

Having trained with them for the last 4 summers, Coquitlam Metro-Ford Barça's Hugo Vieira was invited to compete for Brazilia’s U13 team and, once his commitments with CMF’s Super-Y team were done, he traveled to Brazil and joined the squad for the week-long tournament.

Hugo's team did quite well, finishing first in their group and advancing all the way to the semi-finals, where they fell on the penalty shootout (Hugo took the last PK, down 1 goal, and scored for the tie but a teammate subsequently missed in the sudden death).

All in all, it was a great experience for the boys (as Hugo’s younger brother, Felipe, also played, on the U11 team) and it once more showed that our players can compete with the best.

* Sao Paulo FC is one of the biggest and arguably the most successful team in Brazil, holding the most national league and international titles of any Brazilian club. They are the current Serie A holders, having won the past three-in-a-row and six overall (both are records). Internationally they are sixth overall with the most international titles won by a club, tied with Juventus and Liverpool at 11.

Coquitlam Metro-Ford Barça player helps Tulis win second Dana Cup title

Coquitlam NOW Published: Friday, August 14, 2009

Port Moody's Kyle Jones played a big role in the under-13 boys' Roman Tulis European Soccer School of Excellence' second-ever Dana Cup championship last month in Denmark.

The Coquitlam Metro-Ford minor soccer product served as an assistant captain, as the squad blanked Germany's Bremerhaven 1-0 in the final.

In the semifinal, the Burnaby-based squad defeated F.f.I of Denmark 2-1. Earlier, they had topped their pool with shutout victories over clubs from Norway and Finland in the 350-team, 30 nations tournament.

"It's easy to win a game every weekend, but when you play a game in the morning and then play and win a semifinal later, it's difficult," coach Roman Tulis Jr. said. "You can't have the best game of the tournament in every game, but we were lucky enough, we still outplayed he opposition."

Later in their trip, they competed at the 60-nation Gothia Cup and put in a solid charge. They were eliminated 2-0 by the largest youth club in Europe -- IF Brommapojkarna -- in the round of 16.

The 12-year-old Jones netted the game-winning goal in the previous game against Morocco in the round of 32.

It was the second time that a Jones boy has won the Dana Cup -- Kyle's older brother Adam was part of the Tulis team that won the Denmark tourney two years ago.
