THE form of provocation Dinh Brom in his home country

The signing of Ronaldinho by Milan has been a source of satisfaction for Milan fans. But it is also true that poor form of Brazilian is giving a lot to talk.


That is why the Brazilian portal animatunes.com.br shows an animation in which Ronaldinho is entertaining by Ronaldo with a banquet, while the two show their bellies in swimwear.

It is clear that two cracks are neither shadow of what they were.

Ronaldinho broke his silence. Months after his last words, the player not revealed which will be their destination.

Neither Milan nor Chelsea, nor Manchester City ... or Barcelona. The words of Ronaldinho, the first after several months immersed in the deepest of silences, were not sufficient to clarify the future of Brazilian ace. A future that, according to the footballer himself, is not clear "until within a month."

In one of his first public appearances Ronaldinho was not disturbed anything at any time: "I'm not worried my situation. I have a contract with Barca until 2010. " Something that the footballer himself promised not if you really come to meet: "Until next July 19 I will not decide my future. We still need a month to do so and in all that time many things can happen. "

Responding in the pure Cristiano Ronaldo leaving enterever that the 'soap opera Ronaldinho' will for long. On its potential since it is in Brazil, Ronnie witnessed live without the tie between the goals' canarinha 'and Argentina. At the press zone MINEIRA of the stadium, in Belo Horizonte, the player still Barca gave a brief interview to the channel SporTV, which speak again after several months of not doing so.

Asked about his sporting situation, in which an infinite number of rumors have put various' big 'of European football in recent weeks, suggests that the board was not Barcelona and technician Santpedor the real guilty of this situation come about: "Everyone knows in the world of football as they work these things. The decisions always come from above ... But there is no problem. "

While all this was cooked in the environment ass, Ronnie has returned to training after several months of inactivity. The FC Porto Alegre, computer that militates his brother and that is destinations, the player preferred to pass the buck to his brother Roberto de Assis: "I'm outside any negotiation, who takes all is my representative. When he tell me that we have closed an agreement, I will go there to play. "

With the label of transferable hung in his back since the last stretch of the season, and once himself Guardiola not included him in their plans for its first experience as a tenant of the bench Blaugrana, the player disputing a quadrangular end of the Second Division, has opened the doors to "regain my fitness after injury." An ailment that seems to be already part of the past for the footballer Rio: "I'm recuperadísimo my injury, I only needed to reach 100% of my physical tone. Now my only concern is ready to play again. "

The matter could be carrying with the utmost discretion, but begin to appear interesting clues. The operation would be sold as a gigantic marketing action, if in the end fails to reach Ronaldo. The sports director of Madrid, Mijatovic, has commented in private circles that the player remaining two or three years at the crack and that Madrid would be the way to recovery.

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.

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 ...
