Scolari says World Cup still in reach for Ronaldo

Ronaldo with Scolari in 2002

Luiz Felipe Scolari, who was the coach of the winning team in 2002 World Cup believes that Ronaldo still has a chance to make it to the World Cup. All he needs to do is lose a few pounds.

“If Ronaldo wants to, then he can. He just needs to lose some of the weight and return to a better fitness and he will be a headache to anyone (in defense),” said Scolari.

Although Scolari does not approve of Ronaldo’s current form. The former Brazil coach praised the Phenomenon for going through all the difficulties in his career. In 2002, Scolari chose Ronaldo over Romario at the time. That was a major call but it worked in Scolari’s favor. Hoepfully, Dunga is not thinking the same and replacing Ronaldo with Fabiano.

“Ronaldo is a player who excels. Many people imagine that he is finished but he has the power to overcome that, much more than other athletes,” added Scolari.
