Surprise, surprise, there’s a new Pele in town in Brazil. At least this one’s got a name that’s about as memorable. Pato, which means “duck” in Portuguese, scored 94 seconds into his debut the other day, adding two more assists in a fine performance that has the whole of Brazil swearing for sure that this time they’ve found “o novo Pele.” The world will get a chance to judge for itself, as his club Internacional is entered into this year’s FIFA Club World Cup in Japan alongside Barcelona, Mexico’s Club America, New Zealand’s Auckland City, Egyptian club Al-Ahly and South Korea’s Jeonbuk. Hardly a tournament of powerhouses, it would seem, but Pato and Internacional could represent the biggest challenge to heavily favored Barcelona. So that’s one reason at least to take notice of the Club World Cup, which begins on Sunday in Tokyo. Since 1960, the champions of Europe and South America have met each other to determine the globe’s best club team, but in 2001, FIFA decided to incorporate the champion of each continent in a bigger competition. The competition was squashed that year due to financial troubles, but FIFA brought it back in December 2005. Unsurprisingly, the European and South American representatives, Liverpool and Sao Paulo, met each other in the final. Sao Paulo won, 1-0. The tentative plan, for the time being anyway, is to hold the tournament every year at about this time in Japan.
