Ronaldinho will not yet make his debut in the Campeonato Carioca on Wednesday (January 19.01th) against Volta Redonda, but he is already prepared for what should be "one of the best State Championships in recent years". Aware that the fight for the title will be balanced with all the major Rio clubs, the new Flamengo star is very motivated to win his first title in his first championship wearing the Flamengo jersey.
R10 doesn't hide his great anxiety for the State Championship to begin. According to him, this Carioca Championship will be special with so many star players on all the teams. Happy to be wearing the shirt of the beloved team, he dreams of an unforgettable campaign.
"Expectations are high. I think it will be one of the best Carioca championships in recent years, due to the return of great players like Felipe and Carlos Alberto at Vasco, Deco and Fred at Fluminense, and Loco Abreu at Botafogo. Here at Flamengo, we've been restructuring, so it will be a great championship and the motivation is higher than ever. Being able to return to Brazil, join the Flamengo Nation, see the strength of the fans, all of that is very motivating. I hope Flamengo can do well and win this title," he said.
One of the most anticipated matches by fans, and also by Ronaldinho himself, is Fla x Flu, a clash between the last two Brazilian champions. On the other side will also be midfielder Deco, a great friend of Ronaldo's from their time at Barcelona, which will make the match even more special for the new number 10.
"The rivalry will happen on the field, but off the field the friendship is great. Deco is like a brother to me, a great friend, and it will be a great classic. They are the last two champions, which makes Brazil even more attentive. It's a wonderful moment for Rio de Janeiro football," observed the player, who is pleased to be progressing in training to make his debut as soon as possible.
"I'm very happy to be back training with the ball. It's very motivating to be able to work like this again. I've only been running, doing the physical part, I know there are still a few days left, but just being able to train and be with the group is already wonderful," he added.
