Ronaldinho signs for Flamengo
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) Former World Player of the Year Ronaldinho has signed a fouryear contract with Flamengo in a bid to revive his flagging career and win a place in Brazil's 2014 World Cup squad.
The 30yearold, who had also been chased by Gremio, the club where he was raised,[url=http://www.sport.fr/business/louisvuitton.html]louis vuitton femmes[/url], and Palmeiras, was overlooked by Brazil squad for the World Cup last year but is still hoping to make the squad in 2014.
"I can imagine these supporters in a full stadium," said Ronaldinho. "The supporters can expect the best from him. I came back to Brazil and to play with Flamengo to give them this.
"I also hope that my performances can put me back in the Brazilian team again."
Flamengo claim to be Brazil's most popular club with 25 million supporters.
Italy saw only flashes of his astonishing skills and he also fell out of favour with Brazil coach Dunga who, after giving him plenty of opportunities, including a place in the 2008 Olympic Games team, left him out of the 2010 World Cup squad.
He was recalled by new coach Mano Menezes for November's friendly with Argentina in Doha, winning his 93rd cap in a 10 defeat.
Ronaldinho, who initially left Brazil in 2001 to join Paris St Germain, joins a growing army of top Brazilian players who have returned home, attracted by a strong lower currency.
Others include Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Deco who was raised in Brazil although he played for Portugal and Fred.
The signing of Ronaldinho is likely to cause another wave of huge expectation at Flamengo, one of Brazil's most volatile clubs.
Flamengo have won five Brazilian championship titles, most recently in 2009, but finished only two points above the relegation zone last season.
Their attempts to add to the only title in the Libertadores Cup, South America's equivalent of the Champions League, have produced a series of spectacular failures.
