Ronaldinho given World Cup hope by Menezes
Posted Monday, September 05, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
After seeing Ronaldinho regain his form, fitness and passion for football, Brazil coach Mano Menezes believes the two-time world player of the year can re-establish himself as a permanent fixture in the national team through to the 2014 World Cup.
A string of impressive displays for Flamengo in the Brazilian league persuaded Menezes to recall the 31-year-old Ronaldinho for the first time in nine months ahead of Monday’s friendly against Ghana in London.
Menezes insists Ronaldinho’s return “is not a temporary solution” and believes the playmaker’s experience and history will be vital in a squad packed with young players.
Menezes said Sunday “Ronaldinho is enjoying himself again … he is a leader and a player you can rely on.”
