Girl, 10, gets job as football commentator
A 10-year-old girl is the new football commentator for a Brazilian radio station.
Gabriela Ferreira has been given the job by the biggest station in Itu, Sao Paulo.
Her father, a football coach in his spare time, found out about his daughter's ability when his team came back to win after she gave him some tips six minutes before the end of a match.
Fellow commentator Wanderlei Ribeiro told Jornal da Globo: "She is creative, she is able to visualise the game and can easily analyse it. She can see football as few commentators can nowadays."
She even has some advice for Brazil's coach: "He has to change tactics. If I was him I would take off Lucio and put Alex in his place."
Gabriela promises not to miss school due to her new job and fame.

As for her advice... isn't Alex a midfielder and Lucio a defender? Albeit Lucio spends his time higher up the field than most midfielders.
