Amidst the positive week for Santos FC, winning their first two games of the season, there are reports of animosity between the forwards at the club. Veteran striker Torbjörn Alshammar has asked manager for more playing time, rather than coming off the bench for Robbie Mitchell or Adriano.
Sources say Alshammar is keen to retain the all time club goal scoring record, with 39 goals in his career with the Santástico. Mitchell and Adriano are 2 and 3 goals back of this record, and with Alshammar coming towards the twilight of his career, he is keen to prove to others that he still has enough left in the tank to contribute.
When Adriano was subbed off during the FC Greatness fixture due to a shoulder injury, insiders say that Alshammar quickly gave the bruising forward a hard slap on the shoulder as an aggravation to the injury, disguised as a friendly gesture. He has also been seen near the team pantry mixing laundry detergent with Nutella, one of Robbie Mitchell's favourite foods. We could be looking at another Raul/Real Madrid situation of a potential legend wearing out his welcome. Stay tuned.
