Basso helps City ride their luck

ADRIANO BASSO admitted he is on a mission to reach the Premier League and fulfil his dream of playing in the next World Cup.

The Bristol City goalkeeper is determined to use promotion to the top flight as a platform to show England and Brazil that he has the credentials to become an international.

Basso, born in Sao Paulo, can play for England as he has lived there for five years and has set himself a two-year deadline to force his way into Fabio Capello’s thoughts.
