The Werder Bremen defender has expressed his desire to return to South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 in order to boost his chances for Brazilian national team.
The former Juventude sweeper has expressed his desire to part ways with the German club at the end of this season.
He admitted that it would be extremely difficult to leave his teammates after spending almost six years at the Weserstadion.
Naldo joined the Bundesliga outfit in 2005, and has been a regular starter in Thomas Schaaf’s starting line-up. However, recent injury problems have hindered his development. The tall defender picked up a serious knee injury last season has returned to action
only recently.
The stopper has failed to cement his place in Bremen’s starting line-up, and has decided to move back to his homeland in order to improve his chances of representing Brazil at international level.
It has been reported that Brazilian club, Internacional, have opened negotiations with the defender, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Naldo-c27274 is likely to join them at the end of 2011/12 campaign.
While talking to Syker Kreiszeitung, the 29-year-old further stated:
"Of course it will be hard to leave, but I would like to move back to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858."
Naldo has been a big hit in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 ever since he landed at the Weserstadion, but has struggled to find a place in the Brazilian team since picking up the injury. The former RS Futebol defender has managed only four caps for the Brazilian national side until
now.
"Brazil is my country, and I would be very close to my city. Also, my chances of playing in the national team would rise. Featuring in the World Cup would be a dream. Internacional are giants; Werder play only in the Bundesliga, whilst [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Internacional-c39573] also
play in the Copa Libertadores." He concluded.
Naldo has made 167 league appearances for the River Islanders thus far, netting 20 goals in return. With the second half of the season about to start in two weeks time, Naldo is certain to spend another four months in Germany before breaking his six-year
bond with the club.
