Ronaldinho Gaucho debut

Surrounded by a supernatural aura, elevated to the rank of captain of a sudden, Ronaldinho and exercises in Fla. and is the usual

Ronaldinho Gaucho finally debuted. And to those who wait for football fanfare, the appearance of crack (still keeping this account) I should have known very little if not nothing. Flamengo sweated blood to defeat (1-0) the tough and expressionless Nova Iguaçu, in the Carioca championship, with a goal in minute 85. A goal by true, in which he had absolutely nothing to do.

Ronaldinho Ronaldinho made. It was the player who took to Barcelona in the desert crossing, but, as expected, is closer to its final stage in the Camp Nou and happened with more pain than glory for Milan. Insistently sought goal in all balls have or might have stopped and offered flashes off and isolated in assists, more pyrotechnic effect. But do not you can be attributed or apathy, or lack of involvement. Ran (4.9 km in the first part), fought hard in every ball was divided and was always connected.

The problem is is that it allows for more. "The magic of one does not turn off, but there are times that shines more and some less. I know the responsibility I have in the Flamengo and everyone will ask me," he argued. Local media talks about debut "shy" and "below expectations."

Another different issue is the social sport. In this sense, the success is undeniable. "Ronaldinho effect" was a truly brutal impact. Rio de Janeiro literally stopped him for the first wearing "the sacred mantle." The crowd that packed the Joao Havelange Stadium, created the atmosphere of the great nights and absolutely given, presented homage to their new monarch.

The scenery was perfect. Starting with the tile and delivery Ronaldinho the captain's armband in the center circle before the draw of fields. The debut with 10 of the pomp that Zico was a historic day as that is deserved. And, of course, the player is excited.

"I will fight for each party is a party, this is a day that I will not ever forget, I lived one of the biggest thrills of my life and I'm happy. It was a perfect release, because what matters is that the team won "said the former Blaugrana's voice breath. "Everybody takes a bit of Flamengo in it, and my party has already surfaced, I had a reception by colleagues and fans, unusual," he added.

Ronaldinho acknowledged that this lack of pace and he accused, within 90 mintues he was in the field, the month and a half of inactivity. "We must go step by step now," he said. We'll see where it comes next. Although Ronaldinho showed only As in dropper, that's enough to meet the expectations of fans Flamenguistas. Several online media survey showed yesterday that almost 90% of the "twisted" is convinced that the flashes of quality offered in their debut are a sign that Ronnie will end up shining in the shirt rubronegra. His next test is Sunday against Boavista, but there is the possibility that Luxembourg decided to increase the reserve and physical burden on the coaches.

A goal from Maicon in the 55th minute Elano and one in 72 gave the victory to Brazil (2-1) in their opening World Cup match against North Korea. Barcelona's Daniel Alves was not the owner and entered into the final stretch of the game.

Kim Jong Hun North Korean built a great wall that made harmless to see Kaka, eventually replaced by Nilmar.

The uncertainty of the Brazilians was cleared when he started the second half. Elano's pass to overflowing by Maicon band ended with a center of Inter player that slipped, with much effect, between the defense and goalkeeper Ri Myong Guk (1-0, 55min).

Twenty minutes later, Elano himself, who turned 29 on Tuesday, got a reward for his effort to capitalize on a deep pass from Robinho (2-0, 75min).

Just one minute of the end of normal time Nam Yun Ji midfielder put the icing on a spectacular play in three strokes that left half the court and beat Julio Cesar, who until then was a spectator (2-1, 89min).

An unknown Kaká no agility nor genius lost the rudder and compass for the shared moments Elano some distance shots which did no danger, and Robinho, whose dribbling colorful gave the impression that they are well studied by the North Koreans. Neither the power to Luis Fabiano often used to shelling rivals today helped clear the road.

And with that bleak picture for the Brazilian attack, side and Michel Bastos Maicon were shy about going up to open spaces and from the middle Felipe Melo could not find a suitable target for mounting the trigger.

Barcelona's Daniel Alves entered the final straight in place of Elano.
