Three of afternoon. Ronnie appears with Deisi, its sister, Tiago, its inseparable friend, and Rogerinho, component of the group of samba ‘Revelaçao’ that is spending days of vacations in Barcelona. The lunch served by chef of the restaurant Casanova de Castelldefels is prepared. Azulgrana is the place of cult of the ten. One is like in house. A perfect corner for the dialogue, the conversation and even the reflection. Ronnie, that consists in act, only drinks Pepsi, in this occasion in glass of ball with ice and lemon.
How one is psychically?
I? Very well, why?
By this Barça, that does not walk nothing well...
I have been more than ten years playing to the highest level, with the selection of Brazil and in Europe with the PSG and the Barça. The world of soccer always is thus: when nondesire, there is problems, deception, sadness. And one does not consider that not always you can gain no matter how much you try it. The rivals also count.
Is that a consolation?
No! Proof of it is that I very am motivated, with many desire to continue conquering important titles.
It is the this most difficult and delicate moment since it arrived at the Barça in the 2003?
If we gained Liga, no, because what finally would count it is that in four seasons we would have been able to conquer three titles of League.
If not it conquistárais, could be spoken openly of failure?
I do not like to speak of things that have still not happened. If that occurred, then it would be the moment for valuing it. To do it before is something that does not have sense.
It is said with insistence, is written, that this equipment no longer is hungry of titles...
That is not truth. All in the Barça we played to continue conquering titles. Otherwise we would not be here.
Also that them lack humility...
It is not certain either.
Then, why it has been arrived at the present situation?
I suppose that it will have been by the sum of several circumstances. There was a phase in the season in that we had to play many consecutive parties and perhaps we were not fresh neither physical nor mentally. But I insist on which we do not have to be alarmist. Still we can gain Liga and then everything will be seen from another prism, with other eyes.
Considering that all the defeats escuecen, which has been the worse one than has lived east year?
All. To me I do not like to never lose. Clear that I am cabreado by having lost so many titles! The truth is that the 4-0 before the Getafe was very hard, because nobody could imagine a defeat thus.
[ In the terrace of the Casanova restaurant, located in the superior floor and from where the beach is descried, begins to blow a slight breeze. Ronnie goes with a black t-shirt of braces and requests if we can continue having lunch and engaging in a dialog in the interior. Said and done ]
Has been able them the pressure to have to repeat develops it of the last season?
It is very difficult to do what we did the year spent, that is certain, but for me the word pressure does not exist. I come from a country, Brazil, where to be left second it is equivalent to be last. Or desire or do not serve as anything what you have done. No, absolutely, the pressure, the fear and all that do not go with us. We are very customary to play under those circumstances.
It gives the impression him that in the FC Barcelona, in the city, between the barcelonismo, the memory is very fragile?
To what one talks about?
You arrived at a Barça that had been four years without gaining absolutely nothing and now a year in target is not pardoned...
Ah, friend mine, this are soccer! We never remembered of which we have done. What you did yesterday no longer counts, what you only have ahead.
He will be conscious that one of the most concurrent subjects in the Barcelonist atmosphere is its supposed enemistad with Eto’or and badly the roll that would be in azulgrana clothes...
I can assure to him that in clothes of the Barça the coexistence is good. I much less do not have the minimum problem’with Eto or and with Frank Rijkaard. There each one has more affinity with than with others, but that will happen equal exactly in SPORT and any other company. Nevertheless, all want the communal property.
Then everything what it is said and it commented is a simple urban legend?
There is people who speak without knowing of which speaks and she is created to him. I cannot be enemistado with a companion with whom I have the same common objective: to play well and to gain titles.
Eto’or and Ronaldinho have fitted in same clothes the next season?
I speak by me. By my if. I repeat to him that I do not have problems of any type with anybody.
[ After tasting exquisite risotto and dessert strawberries, Ronnie takes little by little an American coffee. Finished the lunch we crossed the Marine Stroll of Castelldefels and we went to the beach. The sea and the sand always have enamored to him, like good Brazilian. To get wet the feet in the water is a ritual that fascinates to him. Thank heavens that wore bath slippers ]
It consists to him that its commitment with the club has been put in judgment fabric?
There are things that are worth the trouble not even to comment. This question I prefer nor to answer it.
One does not get upset by the question is It?
My commitment with the Barça, like club, with the equipment, my companions and the fans is the same one who the first day that I arrived at the Camp Nou.
The same illusion...
The same one, of course. My motivation follows intact.
It has faith...
Much. I am convinced that still we can be champions of League and who we have group to conquer many titles more. That yes, is necessary to learn of the committed errors so that they become to repeat.
It remains in the Barça...
I do not have any reason not to follow in the Barça.
Then there is people who see him more outside than inside the next season...
Again I say to him the same: there is nor no that to speak of those commentaries. I came to the in a while very delicate Barça for the organization, where a new director began and a sport project was forming. That planning I believe as much that finally it has given its fruits, in titles as in a form to understand and to play a soccer with which I feel completely identified.
Therefore it believes in this sport project...
Of course that I believe in this sport project. We must follow by the same way. To work well, to reinforce to us where it is necessary and to construct a great group. We already have it, but always the possibility fits of improving it.
We do not have to waste long time speaking of the Milan, right?
No, because it is a loss of time. I have the maximum respect by the Milan like of the rest of clubs, but it is not in favor in my mind.
Then the partners will breathe calm...
That they breathe calm, yes.
Think that the fan culé can be gotten upset or annoying with you by those constant rumors that they placed to him in Italy?
No, because they only must think what they hear of my mouth. That my brother goes to Milan is by its work. It represents more players in Italy, is not going to speak of me.
By the way, how it is Joao, its son?
Precious. It is two years old and few months and already it is an earthquake. It does not stop!
Disfrútelo..
