Ronaldinho, one of the legendary names of world football, has returned to the pitch after an 11-year absence. The 46-year-old Brazilian icon has reached an agreement with Ravenna FC, a team in Italy's Serie C. Despite his advancing age, Ronaldinho's decision to play professional football again has drawn comments like "Enough already, stay a legend."
Ronaldinho, who went down in football history with the jerseys of Barcelona and the Brazilian National Team, last wore the Fluminense jersey in 2015 and subsequently ended his professional football career.
It has been reported that the Brazilian legend has decided to play football again after 11 years and has reached an agreement with Ravenna FC, one of the teams in Italy's Serie C.
THOSE WHO HEARD THE DECISION SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"
The 46-year-old Ronaldinho's decision to return to professional football has divided football fans. While some stated that it would be exciting to watch the legendary footballer on the field again, others did not find this decision appropriate due to his advancing age. Comments such as "Enough is enough, stay as a legend" and "Why professional football at this age?" were made regarding Ronaldinho's decision.
BOTH A FOOTBALLER AND A SHAREHOLDER
It was stated that Ronaldinho's role at Ravenna FC would not be limited to the field. It was expressed that the former Ballon d'Or winner would not only play as a footballer but also undertake the role of club ambassador and take an active part in management by joining the shareholders of Ravenna FC.
"I CAN'T WAIT TO DANCE AGAIN"
It was reported that Ronaldinho used the following statements in his statement about his new adventure:
"New colors, same smile. I can't wait to write a new story and dance on the ball again."
HIS LAST OFFICIAL TEAM WAS FLUMINENSE
Ronaldinho, who played for important European clubs such as Barcelona, Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain during his professional career, had his last stop at Fluminense. The Brazilian legend, who has not worn a professional club's jersey since 2015, will return to football fields at the age of 46 if he signs for Ravenna FC as claimed.
