With a reputation for being a warm, welcoming and hospitable country, Brazil has just become target of many people looking to live outside of their homeland.The problem is that not everyone goes out of their country because they want to. It is the case of Afonzo Salvador Fernandez, 65, who was born in Spain and came to live in brazilian lands at 8, under the influence of his father, the post-war immigration. Owner of an accent means coiled and Brazilian customs that accompany it by living here so long ago, the Spaniard is not intimidated by a different routine. Despite living as a child in Brazil, the crowd in his World Cup remains the Spain. Fernandez is one of those who believes that no one denies that the homeland is born and suspects the veracity of the speech of those who say cheer for a country other than the birth. - I root for Spain. It's no use speaking foreigners who cheer for the team of the country where they live because it is a lie. No one denies that the homeland is born. When Brazil plays the United States, France, Germany, England, where it is the Brazilians who live there will cheer for Brazil. You might like the country you live and opt for it, including, but their homeland you will never forget.

If Neymar is the great hope of the national team to win the hex at home, the thought of Spanish is no different. But beyond the striker, he also considers other key players for the team Scolari and "horn" midfielder Oscar.

- I see great hope Neymar and Brazil star. I also like Thiago Silva, I think the defense security through it. Marcelo and Ramires are good bets. And Fred, that the selection is opportunistic and does enough goals. But do not think that is a World for the Oscars, for example. It's just another - said Fernandez.

The supporter of Spain lives on a farm in the city of Suzano, in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, where she lives with her family. The house is fully insulated from the commercial center of the city and it is there that the Spaniards are in the company of some animals: chickens, monkeys, geese, ducks and others that make up the green scenery and natural environment, surrounded by trees.

- We have a connection with the field. Not to work, but the air is very good. So I decided to buy a farm in Suzano. I read in the newspaper and wanted to know the place. When we met, it was love at first sight, then came to the Alto Tietê. Before it was all dirt road, but we have blood work, then packed up everything to live for - he said.

Despite living in Brazil, the Fernandez family has a habit of visiting Spain, leaving the origins behind. The "anti-Catalan Spanish" as he defines himself, is Real Madrid supporter and fan of Sergio Ramos, who he believes to be the great name of the Spanish national team to the World Cup. Brazil is in the crowd at Santos team that won a giant banner at the top of the Spanish house yard.

- When I arrived in Brazil landed in Santos. Before immigration came across there and ended up liking the new team. But the selection of Spain'm really liking Sergio Ramos. Not for the goals you have done, but for security it gives to the defense of the Real (Madrid) and Spain itself - told the stranger that has the Spanish national team jersey with name Iniesta, Barcelona rival and ace who scored who gave the only world title to the country.

The controversy Diego Costa rejected the Brazilian team to defend Spain also worried the Spanish.He says he does not think certain foreign defend other teams that are not his and that his country has players in good position to represent traditionalism in Spanish Cups.

- I'm literally against the presence of foreigners in any selection. I think Spain has players of his level (Diego Costa), is a matter of recovering them. It's a great player, but those who come there, not here (in Brazil). As he states, will never be Spanish.

Neither the presence of the Brazilian striker and the fact defend the title they give to Spain favoritism. For Fernandez, Neymar can unbalance. Have the Spaniards have difficulties because of the style of play that has become targeted by everyone, especially those who follow the Barcelona games.

- Spain has a very marked game system, everyone knows how she plays, because of Barcelona. It also hinders the aging of the main Spanish aces. It was a golden generation that won everything. Today, I see Spain as favorites to go to the final against Brazil, I believe strongly in the final Brazil and someone - he concluded. * Collaborated Thayana Alvarenga, under the supervision of Vitor Geron
