Campeonato Brasileiro 2012
Panini Brasileiro 2012 is a complete collection of Brazilian football. It includes Serie A, Serie B and extra update stickers with new transfers and league winners. A limited edition of the album was released, it is an hardcover deluxe book edition.
Opening the book, there is the first sticker (number 0) in the index page, a drawing of "Pelezinho". Then, in the presentation page of Serie A, which shows a picture of 2011 champions (Corinthians), there is space for an extra sticker of the 2012 champions (Fluminense): this is a mega sticker (6.9 x 9.8cm) that was available in a separate magazine together with the sticker of 2012 Serie B champions (Goias).
The 20 Serie A teams are arranged on two pages for a total of 18 stickers: 1x team badge (silver foil), 1x uniform, 1x mascotte (silver foil), 1x player caricature (transparent foil) and 14x player portraits.
Famous players and rising stars are present in this album. Atletico Mineiro, which got a second position at the end of the season, shows stickers of Ronaldinho, Jo and Bernard (a Brazilian talent from 1992). In Bahia we find Amantino Mancini (ex Roma, Inter and Milan), in Corinthians the new Tottenham purchase Paulinho.
Of course we have to give special attention to the winners of Brasileiro 2012: Fluminense. We have to mention Deco (ex Porto, Chelsea), Weillington Nem (young talent) and in particular Fred, best scoarer of the league with 20 goals.
Internacional has stickers of D'alessandro, Damiao and Oscar (now moved to Chelsea). But the great talent of Brazilian League is no doubt Neymar, who moved to Barcelona at the end of the season. The young Santos star has two stickers, one is the player portrait and the other his caricature (see pictures below).
In Sao Paulo we have to mention players like Denilson (ex Arsenal), Luis Fabiano and the young rising stars Lucas (now at PSG) and Casemiro (just signed by Real Madrid). In Vasco da Gama we find the sticker of Juninho Pernambucano (ex Lyon).
The 20 Serie B teams are placed each on one page and they include 1x team badge (silver foil), 1x uniform, 1x mascotte (silver foil) and 12x player portraits (1/3 of sticker for each portrait).
The champions mega-sticker dedicated to Goias in the Serie B presentation page.
