The'10 'continues to work to regain his best form while the physical environment continues to fuel rumors about his overweight

The press conference yesterday gave Frank Rijkaard was weight, in the strictest sense of the word. The kilos of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and a number of journalists present were the protagonists in yesterday's Camp Nou.

The belly of Ronaldinho has given a lot to talk the past few months. For over a year or so Newspaper discovered what was obvious: the Brazilian suffered a slight overweight, something unimportant in a normal person, but in a worrying elite footballer. Yesterday, while their colleagues prepared closed the match at the Copa Villarreal, the'10 'showed their abdominal at Spanish Television cameras to explain to the world that he is not fat. The same gesture, but after the meeting after the pictures published by the rotating Catalan, had repeated a year earlier, divesting of the shirt to show his torso. Twelve months later, everything stays the same. The footballer has been in the hands of physical preparation to carry out a 'minipretemporada' that apparently was unable to perform in the summer.

Many voices have ceased to rely on his recovery, but this is not the case of Frank Rijkaard. The technician suffers a kind of inverted anorexia, rather than affect it affects the vision of Ronaldinho. To defend its footballer, was allowed to speak about the former Madrid Ronaldo. The Dutch was thus clear: "Ronaldinho is in the form ... Ronaldo was the fat. " Although he did not want to attack the now front Milan, and said that "for me remains one of the best forwards that I have ever seen", the whole world came to mind images Brazilians' marking 'tummy with the t-shirt Real Madrid. Overweight also the former footballer of Barça was evident. Its evolution since he left PSV Eindhoven (78 kilograms), which reached its present stature (1.83) was growing.

He arrived in Barcelona with 79 kilos, which maintained during the season that dressed only in blaugrana. The Inter reached 90.5 kilograms, while in the Real Madrid exceeded 94, a dozen above their ideal weight, 16 difference since his tenure in the Netherlands. The case of blaugrana footballer is very different. And that was what they wanted Frank Rijkaard said: "Ronaldinho is well physically. If it would be big, but I see it every day and see it's okay, in good condition. In addition, since the medical staff tell me it's okay and preparers who are working with him, too. " But, returning to the team so imminent, yet nothing: "There is not going to come back with the group, but we have to rely on him because he still has the capacity to make a difference."

Why now must rely on him if a year ago we were in the same situation and Ronaldinho still do not see?, He was asked. "Before it was another time. Now we have to trust because it is stopped by an injury for which we have departed from the team, "replied Frank Rijkaard. Ronaldinho must show more than just their abdominal fondness for the blaugrana again to trust him. The Brazilian could not ask crack as people continue to believe in their football, but with his football, must make the fans back to believe in him. The culé want to stop talking about kilos and begin to talk about goals, and played titles. Goles, plays and titles, albeit weight.
