Ronaldo left on the bench as Corinthians beat Noroeste 2-0

Posted February 26, 2009

Ronaldo was left on bench on Wednesday as Corinthians beat Noroeste 2-0. Ronaldo was included the Corinthians squad for the away game but didn’t play for a single minute.

Corinthians’ first goal came in the 47th minute when Fabinho crossed the ball to Douglas who headed the ball past Noroeste goalie Vizzoto. Otacilio Neto made it 2-0 in the 86th minute.

Corinthians now stands atop the Sao Paulo state championship with 24 points.

    No point rushing it… needs to make sure he is 100% first! Being with the team will make him hungry to play – more determined.

    There is a video clip on the ego globo website (sport – corinthians) of him training yesterday – he still looks slow and looks as if he could do with shifting a few more pounds…

    anyway…Great to see Ronaldo is on the right team for now……
    Corinthians top the table…hopefully when Ronaldo back on action…..
    Corinthian will be a better team that every team would scare to….

    @ lea, ronaldo was not with the team, he was in the damn commentary box, he should be on the bench with his team mates, not with a microphone.

    probably the video LEA was referring to, as much as i like ronaldo i couldn’t help but laugh on at the 39 second mark when he is dribbling, he really hould have been professional while he was recovering because he has handicapped himself a lot by letting himself get so fat.

    after watching that video i believe ronaldo should not play against palmairas, whether you like it or not he is still overweight and far less mobile than any of the other players, give him another month at least, if he plays anytime soon he will embarrass himself and be a laughing stock.

    Sorry been working – I love ronaldo – but he shouldn’t rush things – he is still way too big and slow! Brazillian football is soooo fast – he wont keep up! Need to see more footage of him practicing – because that video does him no favours!!!
