The chairman of the Werder Bremen executive board, Jürgen L. Born and general manager Klaus Allofs returned to Bremen on Monday afternoon, following a two day stay in Brazil. On their brief business trip to FC Sao Paulo, the Green-White duo took the opportunity to get a personal look at the current situation with on loan Werder midfielder Carlos Alberto. Aside from discussions with the 23 year old himself, Allofs and Born held talks with the FC Sao Paulo sport director, Marco Aurelio Cunha on Sunday.

 

In light of the talks held and impressions gathered in Brazil, Klaus Allofs sees the situation as being quite positive: “The player is in good physical condition, quite contrary to what had been reported in the press, and his health is decidedly better now than it was a few months ago in Bremen.”

 

The Werder Bremen representatives did however obtain conformation of the midfielders suspension from the Brazilian first division clubs squad. Carlos Alberto was stricken from the team after an argument with team mate Fabio Santos. The complete situation surrounding the incident has yet to be cleared-up. “There are inconclusive statements as to what actually led to the incident and whether the measures taken since then have been justified. Right now it is clear that Carlos Alberto will have all possibilities he needs to train with FC Sao Paulo in order to remain in form”, explained Allofs on a stopover in Munich on his way home.

 

As to how things are now to continue with Carlos Alberto will be decided over the coming weeks. The loan deal with FC Sao Paulo is valid until 15.07.2008 and the possibility of the Brazilian staying on in South America is not out of the question completely: “An internal move within Brazil is a possibility at the moment but a decision is yet to be made. We will have to discuss that issue with FC Sao Paulo”, remarked Allofs.
