The 44-year-old Ronaldinho has backtracked on his controversial statement that he would not watch any of Brazil’s matches, now asserting his continued support for his national team.
In a recent interview, Ronaldinho had claimed he had no intention of watching any games involving the Brazilian squad, citing a lack of spirit, joy, and technical qualities in the current team. However, his remarks were quickly contradicted by Brazil’s active international Rafinha, who openly mentioned that Ronaldinho had recently asked Vinicius Jr. for a Brazil game ticket.
Realizing the public sentiment was shifting, Ronaldinho promptly clarified, “I said that to generate a reaction. I will support the Brazilian team even more than before. Brazil needs this kind of support. The young players are very talented and urgently need the backing of the Brazilian people. It’s the Copa América now, and we can come back with the trophy.”
