Muller wants to leave J league

TOKYO (AFP): Brazilian 1994 World Cup winner Muller, who plays
for Kashiwa Reysol in the Japanese football league, has declared
his desire to leave the team for family reasons, a team official
said Saturday.

The 29-year-old forward, whose real name is Luiz Antonio
Correa Da Costa, quit former Inter-Continental Cup champions Sao
Paulo and joined Reysol this season with a two-year contract.

The team official said he would persuade him to stay, but
added: "We are not sure at all whether he will stay or not. Our
team will decline very much if he leaves."

Muller has displayed a "golden combination" with his 1986-90
World Cup teammate Careca, scoring five points in 11 games so far
for Reysol.
