Deco lives the dream and returns to Brazil with Fluminense

Former Chelsea midfielder Deco has revealed it is a 'dream' to return to Brazil with Fluminense. Deco has spent the past 13 years of his career in European football and even opted to represent Portugal.

"I owed myself this, it was a big dream to be able to return to Brazilian football after 13 years," explained the 32-year-old.

"There were big difficulties getting released from my contract with Chelsea but I thank Fluminense for keeping the door open and making the effort to bring me back.

"I will certainly pay that back with a lot of effort on the pitch to win titles.

"I was lucky to join the leaders and I'm happy to be at a very good club ... with a fantastic coach (Muricy Ramalho) who is a big name in Brazilian football."
