Barcelona coach concerns over Ronaldinho fitness
tribalfooball.com - October 20, 2006
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard held lengthy talks with Ronaldinho
yesterday after his disappointing performance at Chelsea on
Wednesday night.
Rijkaard and his coaching staff are unhappy with Ronaldinho's
fitness and the Dutchman is putting together a personal programme
for the Brazilian to follow. The new regime will be given to
Ronaldinho after Sunday's clash with Real Madrid.
Ronaldinho again didn't take part in
yesterday's training, instead retiring to the gym, which has become
a habit this season.
After training, Deco said of his underfire teammate: "It seems
wrong to me that people are so critical of Ronaldinho.
"For what he has done for Barca, we must show him more
respect."
Personally i think even the world best
footballer need to train to maintain or even improve his
footballing skills as there is no perfection and further more he is
just 26 yeras old and can improve his footballing skills especially
defending much more in order to help the team more
effectively
