David Saura
Deco has left FC Barcelona's tour of Asia to fly straight to São Paulo where his wife has given birth to their fourth child, who has been named David.
The Portuguese international, who was awaiting news from Brazil, had to travel at midday to be with
his wife, Jacciara, after she gave birth to the couple's fourth child. Both mother and son are said
to be in excellent health.
Congratulations from the squad
As the players headed off towards morning training at the Fengtai Stadium, Frank Rijkaard
announced the news to the squad that Deco had departed. The midfielder later received messages of
congratulations from all his team-mates.
Deco left the Westin Beijing Hotel and caught a plane to London and then hopped on a
connecting flight to head to São Paulo. The former Porto star is due to return to Barcelona to
continue pre-season training when the squad is back from the Far East tour.
