Ronaldo - O Fenomeno

Ronaldo is ahead of schedule on his road back to playing football and he is working hard to ensure that he is able to get back as soon as he can.

“I am working four or five hours per day in the hope of recovery,” Ronaldo told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I want to be able to play football on the beach with my friends and to have a normal life. During my last tests in Paris, the doctors gave me the hope and the guarantees that I needed. It’s nearly two months since the operation and the knee is already feeling much better.”

Ronaldo has also expressed his desire to play with Flamengo for a few months before returning to Milan.

“The idea is for me to play a few months in Brazil and, if everything goes well, I’d then go back to Milan,”

“I’m assuming I’ll go to Flamengo,” continued Ronaldo. “I’ve got a very good relationship with Milan. The club will always keep the door open for me, but I need to be up to the challenge.”

Ronaldo has always been a Flamengo supporter from childhood so it would be good to play for a where he can regain morale and motivation while recovering from his injury.

“My time with Real Madrid lasted longer, but the club I really support are Flamengo. It’s incredible how football can generate such excitement and passion. And that’s how I felt as a child too, I was always trying to get the players’ autographs and watching them train.”

“My dad always used to take me to the Maracana to watch Flamengo. At that time Zico was playing for them and they’d always put on a show,”
