SAO PAULO – Ronaldinho says it would be a dream to play in another World Cup and believes he will make Brazil’s squad for next year’s tournament in South Africa.
Ronaldinho said Sunday he wants to return to the national team to help give the Brazilian people another World Cup title.
“Sometimes I even try to avoid this question because it seems that I’m trying to pressure to be summoned,” he said in an interview with Globo TV. “But without a doubt it would be a dream to play in another World Cup. My wish it to go there and bring another trophy to the Brazilian people.”
The 29-year-old Ronaldinho hasn’t been selected by coach Dunga since World Cup qualifying at the beginning of the year.
The playmaker said he believes a good performance with AC Milan from now until the World Cup begins in June will be key for him to have a chance of playing in football’s biggest showcase for the third straight time.
“I have adapted after a year in Italy and things are working well again,” Ronaldinho said. “I’m going through a wonderful moment. I’m happy. If I keep doing well and win titles with my club I will have more chances.” (AP)
