The Return

[MDMA]

Ronaldo is back...
Do u agree with Felipão?
I think that is too early to do this.

No way, it's too soon. IF Brazil had a perfectly adjusted team, it would still be too soon because of R9's lack of match fitness. We DON'T have a working eleven, as Scolari is still clearly unsure about at least four positions (one of them being Ronaldo's). Now isn't the time yet, I think he should be given time to come back at Inter.

Of course, Inter's abundance of options must make Brazil's coach nervous, as he NEEDS Ronaldo fit ASAP. Cuper has many options for attack, so he's taking his time, not rushing things, going actually *slower* than he could be; and nobody can blame him for being cautious over fielding "the man with the outbursting knee" (I KNOW, it's not a laughing matter, but the image of the kneecap flying off has put R9's future in question, like it or not).

If R9 was 100% fit, he'd be the first one on anybody's list. But right now, it just reeks of desperation, of trying to speed up his best player's return. Is that wise? Maybe it's the test Ronaldo needs, who knows? Maybe Cuper will be even happy R9 played against Chile, if it's a successful performance: Ronaldo may come to Brazil as a question mark, and return to Milano as a confident and recovered striker.

Ah, well. Hope Ronaldo and Rivaldo form a killer attacking duo - it looks very good on paper.:)

Cheers! :star: :star: :star: :star:

I am so happy, that the master is finally back. Living for 2 years not seeing Ronaldo play football is really disgusting. And today is his 25th birthday - happy birthday Ronnie. :)

I guess we won't see ronaldo yet in the national.. because of his injury, they are most likley to send him back or just keep him on the bench.:(
