Dunga espera por Ronaldinho
Dunga no cree ciertos los rumores de que Ronaldinho está disgustado con él por haberlo puesto de suplente
El entrenador brasileño sólo utilizará futbolistas que quieran jugar

Río de Janeiro.- El entrenador de la selección brasileña, el ex jugador Dunga, instó al astro del Barcelona Ronaldinho a informarle si desea formar parte del equipo que disputará la Copa América.

"El jugador tiene que hablar conmigo para decirme si quiere jugar o si quiere vacaciones. Llevaré a la Copa América a los jugadores que quieren jugar", afirmó el entrenador, en entrevista al canal televisivo brasileño SporTV.

Pese a la declaración, el técnico aseveró que no cree en las versiones divulgadas por la prensa británica, según las cuales el astro del Barcelona está molesto por haberse quedado en el banquillo de suplentes en varios de los partidos amistosos conducidos por Dunga, y que está considerando la posibilidad de abstenerse de vestir la camiseta amarilla por ahora.

"Yo no creo que un jugador del nivel de Ronaldinho no quiera jugar para nuestra selección. Los que conocen a Ronaldinho saben que él tiene ganas, garra. Jugadores como él son especiales", afirmó.

Al mismo tiempo, Dunga defendió su decisión de poner al delantero en el banquillo de suplentes: "Yo respeto el pasado de todos, pero eso no asegura una posición de titular. Pelé ya fue suplente algún día, pero solucionó el problema y se convirtió en titular".

Según la prensa local, tanto Dunga como los dirigentes de la Confederación Brasileña de Fútbol estarían molestos por la decisión de Ronaldinho de no desmentir la versión sobre su supuesta insatisfacción con el nuevo técnico.

El hermano y apoderado del jugador, Roberto Assis, aseguró que el reportaje publicado por el Sunday Times es falso, y que Ronaldinho sí se dispone a actuar por el equipo pentacampeón en caso de ser convocado.

Lets hope.
My Spanish is pretty bad - all I get is that Dunga hopes that Ronny will play. Would you mind giving me the Cliffsnotes as to what the rest says?

Thanks.

More or less that there is friction between him and Dunga, and rumors that he will not play, but that his brother/manager/agent says the rumors are false and that he will participate if called.

Dunno if it will happen.

Si Ronaldinho va a Venezuela, espero que juegue IGUAL que en Alemania.

Lets not act like all south american teams playing in this tourney all of a sudden dont take it seriously, mexico starts winning and all of a sudden "its not serious" :rolleyes:. Complete bs, I will never beleive some posters on bigsoccer, teams compete because they want to win, not to just play to loose. That would mean south america doesent give a crap about their tourney, meaning soon they wont give a crap about all of them because a certain country starts winning them all :D. Its obvious but i wont beleive ur bs about "its not important" ya right, ill beleive that when countrys pull out or I see a coach actually say that or players. Stop the excuses it hasnt even started , get ready. :p

[GRBomber]

Oh no! You figured it out :rolleyes:

[braziliancris]

Besides we had the other players against Portugal, and at the world cup...i am not sure if they were ready either....

[JAIME CHILE]

No Ronaldinho at Copa America?
Read last sentance.

"Hearts to play Barcelona at Murrayfield


Hearts are close to announcing they will take on Ronaldinho and his mates at Murrayfield Stadium on Tuesday July 24th - less than forty-eight hours after Hibs pulled out of a glamour date with the Catalan giants.

Hearts are confident they can make the numbers work by attracting a capacity crowd of 67,000 to the home of Scottish rugby.

It is understood Hearts have been in negotiations about the game for some time and were surprised to learn Hibs were also in the running as potential opponents.

Thousands of kids tickets will be made available at cut price - a condition forced upon Hearts by Barcelona's relationship with children's charity UNICEF.

By taking the game to a bigger venue, Vladimir Romanov believes the remaining full-price ticket sales plus a possible TV deal will ensure the event is a money spinner.

Barcelona have assured Hearts that Samuel Eto'd will definitely make the trip, while they are seeking permission from the Brazilian FA for Ronadinho to be excused from this summer's Copa America in Venezuela."

So Ronaldinho won't possibly play Copa America because of a friendly? :confused:
