"The public applauds you", said the announcer at Ronaldinho Gaúcho's presentation at Ravenna FC. The former striker, five-times World Champion in 2002, signed an agreement with the Italian team that combines the role of investor and a symbolic return to the pitch.
The party to welcome the Brazilian star took place on a beach in the city of Ravenna. Ronaldinho interacted with the cast, managers and fans present at the event.
Ronaldinho highlighted his friendship with those involved in the Ravenna project and spoke out about taking the field. "If I'm going to play? I don't know, only the coach (Andrea Mandorlini) knows," said the Brazilian, at a press conference.
According to Ignazio Cipriani, owner of Ravenna, all this action is not just marketing. Ronaldinho would have decided to take the field for the Italian team in an official professional match. The objective would be "to score the last goal of his career".
Ravenna's debut in Serie C takes place next Monday (24). Ronaldinho, however, is unlikely to make his appearance on the field in this match.
Ravenna has bold plans for the future. Led by the heir of a traditional Italian family linked to the luxury sector, the club that will compete in Series C intends to gain unprecedented access to Italy's Series A.
At 46 years old, Ronaldinho has not played an official match since 2015, when he last played for Fluminense.
