Ronaldinho is “happy” to return to football

Ronaldinho is feeling a special kind of emotion. At 46, the former Ballon d’Or winner is set to return to the pitch with Ravenna, in Italy’s third division. Rather than presenting this comeback as a sporting challenge, the Brazilian legend is above all emphasizing the joy of reconnecting with football and experiencing what he hopes will be an unforgettable adventure.

“I’ve won everything, and this new adventure makes me happy”

After several years away from competition, Ronaldinho explained what prompted him to return to the pitch:

I started playing football many years ago. When I ended my career, I looked back and saw that I had won everything. Now I have the opportunity to do something in football again. That makes me happy.

His goal is clear: to make the most of this experience and share moments of joy with the public. “I want to give the fans a great day and start this adventure with joy,” he added.

A special experience with Ravenna

Ronaldinho also discussed the reasons that led him to join Ravenna, a club in which he is a shareholder. He particularly highlighted the importance of his relationship with president Ignazio Cipriani in making the decision:

I’m here to experience a unique and special moment in my life. I hope this experience will be unforgettable for the other players.

For his Ravenna debut, Ronaldinho is expected to start under Andrea Mandorlini in the derby against Forlì, scheduled for Sunday at 5:30 p.m. Anticipation for the match is considerable. Almost all the tickets have been sold, and an additional stand with 1,800 seats has been installed at the Benelli Stadium. It has been named “R10” in tribute to the Brazilian. At 46, Ronaldinho is returning to football with a smile and an enthusiasm he sums up in a few words: this new adventure makes him happy.
