While we were breaking the news, on this side of the globe, that Eduardo was way ahead of his recovery plan and showing the amazing video of him kicking a ball, the tabloids are only now beginning to catch up!
Eduardo surprised with speed of recovery” Plus amazing video in physiotherapy kicking a ball!
In fact we reported on this site ages ago, as far back as March, that Eduardo’s come back was looking very promising and was likely to be much earlier than expected.
Eduardo starts training in June. Arsenal permit recuperation in Brazil
We also reported that Eduardo has said that Taylor did not apologise to him!
In fact Eduardo has repeated this complaint yesterday in the interview given to SporTV News which is shown on the video above.
He reiterates that Taylor never apologised to him and that he is still waiting for an apology! Maybe Taylor did visit at hospital but Eduardo was “out’.
A commenter on this site who speaks Portuguese has translated what Eduardo said on this issue:
"He said that Taylor and his club told all the press in England that he personally apologized to Eduardo and that Eduardo had forgiven him. Eduardo CLEARLY STATES THAT THIS IS A LIE. There is no doubt in what he says. He also says that Taylor could've been more human and apologize to him personally".
I think a real apology is called for, really.

Eduardo surprised with speed of recovery” Plus amazing video in physiotherapy kicking a ball!
By Aries
Eduardo has been speaking to the Brazilian press recently.
And along with his interviews given to the Croatian press a few days before, implies that he is feeling very well and confident about his progress so far.
He has now disposed himself of the crutches, is doing light running and is working with ball!
In this amazing video shot in Brazil, Eduardo looks really in fine nick.
He is walking as per normal and more importantly he is kicking a ball in specialized training exercises balancing on a kind of trampoline!
This is done during the physiotherapy sessions in Rio de Janeiro under the guidance of physiotherapist Odir de Souza, who also serves on the Brazilian team staff.
Eduardo is now feeling so confident about his recovery that he has been hinting of an earlier return to football than the time horizon that Arsenal have laid out.
“I am surprised with my recovery. Arsenal had the principle laid down for me to come back in December. I believe that may be well before” Eduardo said
Although he did not say when his return is expected this may well be in September.

Vela close to passport and Rosicky who suffered pain up the ...fitted with titanium!
By Aries
Carlos Vela is close to overcoming the most important obstacle in his quest to finally play for his club, Arsenal.
Apparently the documents supporting his application for a Spanish passport were submitted two years ago, in June 2006.
Passport regulations in Spain require a two year presence in the country and it seems that Carlos will be issued with a passport quite soon.
This will enable him to join up with his new Arsenal team mates for pre season training in early July.
Before that however he will be involved in a heavy schedule of games for Mexico which will include a series of friendlies against Argentina and Peru before facing Belize in two legged World Cup qualifier beginning on 15th June.
Pain up the ass!
Another Arsenal player is expected to return to the fold for next season! Tomas Rosicky unlike Carlos has kicked a ball for Arsenal but that was five months back in January of this year.
The good news is that his operation went quite well and according to his Czech doctor, Vladislav Hospodar who assisted in the operation he should have no more problems.
“Now it is properly fixed to restore all the functions. After the rehabilitation, the problems should be gone” he said.
According Hospodár the procedure lasted 40 minutes and confirmed his original diagnosis as a problem where the ligament adjoins to the knee. During the surgery, the ligament has been stabilised by two small titanium anchors.
"There was a release of tendons, which are also the consequences of a blood hematoma which created pain and was transmitted through the thigh muscle towards the ass(!)," said Hospodár.
I wonder whether Tomas will assume “titanic” powers now!

Levski comment on Dimitrov transfer to Arsenal
By Aries
Well we told you that if there was to be any movement on the on going saga of Dimitrov’s transfer to Arsenal we would get a sniff of it.
And yesterday in our post titled “Dimitrov’s transfer to Arsenal hit a snag” we reported that Arsenal had to get round work permit regulations if Dimitrov was to play for Arsenal before 2009.
Now Levski have issued a denial that Dimitrov is Arsenal bound rubbishing recent rumours that have been spread by some blogs and even the Epping Forest Guardian!
When contacted by The Sofia Echo (a Bulgarian newspaper) about a transfer deal involving Dimitrov and Arsenal, a spokesperson for Levski Sofia said "there is no such thing".
The Sofia Echo mentions that the rumours had started when the Arsenal-Gunz blog posted a fabricated entry on April 28 quoting local Bulgarian press about the transfer. The blog has since been taken off-line, but its Google cache is still available.
The Echo goes on to say that the blog entry was subsequently picked up by other bloggers and even appeared in the East London and West Essex Guardian series newspaper, which headlined Gunners believed to have landed talented Bulgarian winger.
Dimitrov scored Levski’s only goal yesterday in their 2-1 defeat against Chernomore.
