Ronaldinho planning return to football, says agent
Rio de Janeiro: Two-time FIFA world player of the year Ronaldinho is reportedly aiming to return to football with a South American club.According to his brother and agent Roberto Assis, the 2002 World Cup winner’s preference was to join a club that has qualified for the Copa Libertadores, the continent’s top club competition, reports Xinhua news agency.Among the teams linked to the 36-year-old Barcelona legend are Brazil’s Chapecoense and Coritiba as well as Uruguayan outfit Nacional.
“Our aim is for him to play in 2017. That’s the idea after a year of rest in which we had the chance to travel the world and get to know countries that we’d never been to before,” Assis told Uruguayan newspaper El Pais.When asked about a possible move to Nacional, Assis replied: “I have spoken with intermediaries but there is no further news.”The plan for 2017 it to play again and see how things pan out. We are thinking about a club that is in the Copa Libertadores,” he added.Ronaldinho has been without a team since leaving Brazil’s Fluminense in September.In the past year he has made one-off friendly appearances in Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, the US and China, as well as participating in a futsal tournament in India.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
