Ronaldinho: “It's my job to play”
Ronaldinho is back in Barcelona after taking part in two friendly internationals against Chile and Ghana with Brazil. He assured us that he is focussed on playing football and is neither thinking about nor worried about his future.
Ronaldinho landed in Barcelona on Wednesday after helping Brazil to two wins in their Copa America
preparatory games against Chile (4-0) and Ghana (1-0).
Focussed on his game
Speaking at Barcelona airport, he assured reporters he was concentrating on the rest of the
season and not on his personal future: “It’s my job to play and it’s his (his
brother and representative) to talk about these things. I’m only concerned with playing and
I’m completely focussed on that”.
Ronaldinho believes it is basic to have a good season and for the rumour mill to stop:
“I’m only worried about this season, about playing and hoping that this will be sorted
out as soon as possible”.
Copa America and Dunga
Ronaldinho’s fitness and injury situation will determined whether he will take part in
the Copa America, which is to be held in Venezuela from 26th June until 15th July. He revealed that
he has not yet discussed his case with Brazil manager Dunga: “I haven’t spoken about it
yet. In the end I’ll decide if I feel tired and speak with him. If I feel OK and he picks me,
I’ll go to the Copa America”.
