Ronaldinho Gaucho champions

As advanced SPORT, the footballer has free rein to negotiate their departure from the Camp Nou next season

The last time San Siro saw playing Brazilian was April 18, 2006, almost two years ago. On that occasion, the10 , in full form, gave a pass to stratospheric Giuly, which marked the only both of those semifinals of Champions. The Barça end up being champion. Today Ronaldinho lives in the gym and away from the playgrounds, has played a season in the Camp Nou, but there can open another where, despite executioner was, it left a good memory. See Ronaldinho wearing the shirt of Milan is no longer a dream for the rossoneri, but a reality that began to materialize for years and yesterday saw a crucial chapter in Barcelona.

According progressed yesterday afternoon edition of The Graderia, Ona FM, the three parties involved in the negotiations were found in a hotel in Barcelona to lay the groundwork for an agreement that would lead to Ronaldinho Milan. The meeting was attended by the technical secretary of Barça, Txiki Begiristain, Spains representative in Milan, Ernesto Bronzetti, and the brother and representative of the Brazilian footballer, Roberto de Assis. This is the first time that the club blaugrana agree to sit down to negotiate a way out Ronaldinho, which is very significant, given that last summer was the Chelsea player who wanted to take her to London and the club blaugrana did not want to hear or supply of Team Abramovich. The situation now is very different.

Indeed, as anunciábamos in our edition of Wednesday, Barça has already communicated to the player who does not have him for next season. Thus, the only solution is to reach an agreement to transfer to Brazil. That point is the one that most discrepancies resulted in the meeting, since Roberto de Assis wants the club to give the letter represented his freedom to be able to negotiate freely, something that Barça is unwilling. So much so that even would have already spoken of a price rondaría 15 and 20 million euros. It also discussed the transfer of some 5 million by Zambrotta.

Yesterdays meeting served to lay the groundwork for an agreement, but it will be next week, a new event that still has materialized when, surely, is closing. Silvio Berlusconi, president of Milan, in Italy has already announced that the recruitment of Ronaldinho is imminent, and even explained that the Brazilian, if you leave Barça, only to go to the club rossonero. In addition, Inter, which appeared to rival that should compete with Milan, has been unchecked through its president, Massimo Moratti, clocking her: "There will be no auction for Ronaldinho."

If favorable evolution, come very fair to the hypothetical final Champions

The Brazilian attacker FC Barcelona has virtually dismissed the season, after the medical tests that have been conducted this Friday have confirmed that suffers a fracture fibrillar you will have about six weeks off work, the remainder of campaign.

The striker had completed the last two sessions with the team and everything was expected to be available by Frank Rijkaard with a view to next Sundays match versus Getafe, but after the meeting on Thursday claimed a series of physical discomfort.

As a result he underwent a magnetic resonance that has determined the existence of a rupture adductor muscle in the middle of the right leg, which will prevent him playing in the next six weeks.

The player azulgrana already had lost the last five commitments azulgrana set for an injury, which he exercised prevents normal, although the medical services of Barcelona issued last March 17 in a communique that ensured after check it out ultrasound, that the player had no physical problem.

After that part doctor, the shadow of a doubt planned on a player, accustomed refuge in the gym since last season, when beginning a decline which has been prolonged soccer until today.

The doors to the outside, while his companions as Rijkaard have assured in recent weeks that if Ronnie was not well physically, he had to believe him. The resonance of that has been subjected this afternoon confirmed that not lied when he insisted that he felt discomfort in his right leg.

Somehow, the result of the tests made public can serve to wash his image, but leaves the player in the dry dock until nearly the end of the season.

Llegaría just to the end of the Champions

If the forecasts are met on his recovery, Ronaldinho will be lost around the quarterfinals of the Champions League before the Shalke 04 and the probable semi-final against Manchester United. In addition, there very fair to the possible end of the tournament, which will host the Olympic Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on 21 May.

The front azulgrana also lost virtually the remainder of League therefore could only play as much, the last day of League (before the Murcia in the Condomina), May 18. In that case, Ronnie would not be ready for play for the seven previous commitments to Getafe, Espanyol, Valencia and Mallorca at home, and against Recreativo de Huelva, Deportivo de La Coruna and Real Madrid, far the Camp Nou.

The British press echoed yesterday in an interview from Ronaldinho in which the Brazilian player was very hard with the British team.

Ronaldinho and the newsroom of the Camp Nou remain two great unknown. Their disagreement acquires dyes legendary every day that passes, but that is no obstacle to the Gaúcho statements appearing in the international press. Words that allegedly have spoken in the course of any promotional day.

This is the case of recent statements by the Brazilian player from Barcelona who have appeared in the British press, most notably in the Daily Mirror. They, Ronaldinho closed the gates of Chelsea and it is very hard over the style of play that practiced the whole English while also draws to decline again possible bids that might come from Italy and reiterates its intention to complete its contract with blaugrana team in which he / she is very comfortable.

The British press, for its part, interpreted these words as the push that lacked Avraham Grant to be permanently at the mercy of the horses after their elimination from the Cup and the League have very uphill.

Apparently, the arrival of Ronaldinho was a wild card that Abramovich could be used to defend the post substitute for Mourinho. Now, with Ronaldinho dismissed as blue in the face of the coming season, the position of Grant and Ten Cate tip is drawn certainly complicated.

Statements of Ronaldinho who plays the Daily Mirror are very harsh towards team style of play in London.

"I know that Chelsea wants to count on me, but this is a team with which I am not prepared to play," says Ronaldinho depending on the version published by the English daily.

The reasons for Ronaldinho to not go to Chelsea refer to the style of play of the English team and the experiences he has suffered himself when Ronaldinho has been faced with the blues over the past few seasons.

"When I faced them in the Champions League players have always been more outstanding kicking my ankles to control the ball and that style of game is not made for me and if I offer to join this style I can only reply, Many thanks, but no, "argues the Brazilian player with the English journalist.

Finally, Ronaldinho assured the British press that "I am very well at Barcelona and I want to fulfill my contract at the Catalan team. I know that in addition to the Chelsea, I have offers from Inter and Milan, but I prefer to give my best to Barça. "

In its 35 years still triumphs in Greece. It is now at AEK. Always with one eye on Barcelona

Rivaldo was the last great idol of barcelonismo before the arrival of Ronaldinho at Camp Nou in 2003. As azulgrana, in the image and likeness of his compatriot, got the prized award of best player in the world, the Golden Ball dreamed. And the two also went from being idols masses to be questioned. At present, some sectors would not barcelonismos with bad eyes that Ronaldinho crossed out. Rivaldo, meanwhile, ended free in Milan ... Today, it remains at the bottom of the canyon in the AEK of Greece with Serra Ferrer of coach.

How will their lives for Athens

Very happy. This is my fourth season in Greece and I am very adapted. Although the Olympiacos and Panathinaikos have spent a lot of money on a grand template, we are now leaders of the League, which has much merit.

Already speaks Greek fluently?

Ufff ...! That is more complicated. No, I do not speak fluently. The team includes six players Brazilians, three Argentines, Portuguese, Serra Ferrer is Spanish, so we talk to communicate in Spanish portuguéso. My wife did speak it fairly well.

Is close to 36 years. The old smallpox, 'Rivo'...

The will perform on April 16, yes. Physically I am fine. I always cared a lot and the injuries I have respected enough. I love football and as long as you have a passion for this play will continue at the foot of the canyon. With AEK I have another year of contract and I think it, of course.

Are you aware of what is happening in Barça

Everything that can be living here, but yes, I see the Spanish television satellite, as the Bar ça-Seville Cup on Wednesday, read on the Internet and talk to the press friends that I explain some things. Something is happening with Ronaldinho, right?

Truth. And what is it?

I do not know very well, but Ronaldo will be left after one year at Barça. Romario also failed to comply with its contract. I ended up in Milan. Therefore I do not think it is coincidence, and of course the blame solely fútbolista. Something's happening in Barça with the major players.

Maybe not accept that a major figure in lower performance. Maybe we want is always at the same level ...

But that is impossible, because you can not win every year the League, the Champions League or always be the best or the most golea

Do you believe that Ronaldinho remains the same as always?

All players have ups and downs and we went through best and worst moments, but I have one thing very clear: Ronnie is the usual. Sure. Furthermore, I do not think that is good for the image of Barça that it is well to Ronnie ...

What concerns?

He is an icon, a reference, a mirror where many footballers are fixed. If others see that as Ronaldinho low yield treat it well, those players, as Messi, for example, or many others, think that any day they can spend exactly the same.

And what we do then?

In my view what we should do is give more affection than ever to Ronaldinho.

Why part of who?

Of all. Starting with the coach and running by the Press.

We are talking about a professional who is paid a tab of millions of euros every year ...

This money has nothing to do, believe me. There are many things that footballers do so without thinking about the money. When one is low morale, what must be done is levantársela, encourage, give support. If the early criticism of the change, then we have a problem.

What done Rijkaard

Demostrarle that trusts him.

The public ...

Demostrarle you want.

The media ...

Allow confidence. Ronnie has made great seasons, big parties, has set very important goals, has won many titles and has not yet attained 28 years! Have much football still in his legs!

Well in Barcelona and hear voices that say that the best thing would be to sell Barça.

Cometerían a very serious mistake and would pay dearly. In my view does not exist in the world today, a football player who can replace the void that would leave Ronaldinho. Also, let me ask you one thing, how old Henry?

Thierry is 30 years old, why question?

And for how many years has signed Barça?

The current and three more ...

I find it incredible that anyone could think that Ronaldinho, 28 years old, has no more to offer in football Barça when Henry has signed to 34. Did he seem to understand what I mean?

Perfectly, but that depends largely on what each player wants or can offer ...

Look, I was world champion with Brazil in Korea and Japan in 30 years. I was the second top scorer after Ronaldo and I chose the third best player of the World Cup. We all are challenges to meet and Ronnie is yours.

Do you know what?

I am not inside his head, nor I like to talk about things others, but I know that Ronaldinho has a lot of enthusiasm for making a great World in South Africa.

That will be in 2010 ...

So. Will reaching that event in the best possible way and also want removed the thorn from Germany, where things were not good either Brazil or him on the personal aspect. South Africa would be his last World him, sure, will want to shine light itself.

Some say that Ronnie will again be number one. Others who ...

If he has the motivation, many ilusióny win, achieved.

And after having won a World Cup, two League, Champions League, all individual awards for having occurred and what may have motivated?

Surely he wants to be re-League champion, Europe, Brazil with the world. And never forget that playing football is like us felicies. While we love this profession.

Some players FC Barcelona have been accused of not taking privacy consistent with the duties of a professional football ...

Look, I never left nor night he drank alcohol. I never liked to leave. However, I believe that a díaa week, after a party, have a drink with no responsibility makes dañoa anyone. What also matters are the ways and the gift of opportunity.

What does he mean by that?

Nobody is aware that when you win matches and the team works, but you see three in the morning in a nightclub nobody ever going to say anything. But if the team loses, the first thing you ask and demand is that caring ways. Pass in all countries of the world. When you lose it's best to stay at home, you do not see.

Good advice ...

The major players have to be aware that they are an example for many people, especially children. They want us to be like tomorrow, so much caring image. Ronaldinho is the idol of children by their football and that always has a smile and a moment for them. Those things also have to value them know.

Incidentally, how do you see the Barça this season?

I think it continues to make the best football game España.Es attractive, with extremes, which I like. No wonder that in the Camp Nou fans always wanted to see good football, not just winning. Historically in Barça always opted for quality, why have so many great players paraded.

Therein lies the debate right now. Even Eto'o says that the first thing is to win, to play well comes later.

Because there are emergencies and Madrid is seven points in the standings. I also understand this. Moreover, in many phases of a game can not only think about doing so beautiful, we must be more practical. It is true that the three points, or spend an eliminatory, is the crux. When you win titles few people remember if you play good or bad. What is true is that only those sets capable of making a football attractive are remembered many years later.

The seven point lead between Madrid and FC Barcelona are a true reflection of the difference between the two great rivals?

I think not, far from it. The key was in the party's Camp Nou. That defeat did much damage to Barça. Anyway I think that difference is not insurmountable. The Barça have to match staffing and overcome it.

But it does not have much margin for error ...

Look, Sunday, Real Madrid can lose well before the Atletico Madrid. And if Barça beat Racing will be placed over just four points. It is a lot League todavíay everything can happen.

Would you like Madrid Bernd Schuster

She football very practical and also has great players such as Robinho, Van Nistelrooy, Casillas, Raul, Baptista .... The League is to be very exciting. The last season was.

More infarcts not please ...
