Paixao: Ronaldinho Has Rediscovered His Joy

Paulo Paixao, fitness coach of the Brazilian national team and who is supervising the recovery of Ronaldinho, has added fuel to the fire of suggestions that Barcelona were responsible for the player falling out of love with football.



Paixao has been supervising Ronaldinho's intensive physical training for a week now, and The Gaucho seems to have had made significant progress.

In a statement made yesterday, he spoke about the Barcelona star, who is whipping himself into shape to participate in the Olympics much against his club's wishes.

"He is very happy and motivated," said Paixao. "He has rediscovered his joy, and is once again the Ronaldinho we all knew."

"He has been very cooperative in the work we are doing to improve his physical form, and take him back to his best."

"Even though he has been idle for a long time, he may already be in top shape by the 22nd of July."

Ronaldinho is determined to represent Brazil in the Olympics, despite opposition from Barcelona, and just as much from Dunga - who feels overruled after leaving him out of the national team.

The Brazilian will thus miss the club's Champions League qualifiers, in which Barca will also be without Lionel Messi.

At the same time, there is a battle taking place between Manchester City and Milan for his signature. City seem to have almost met Barcelona's asking price, but the player has his eyes set on Milan - who are refusing to pay up and hoping that the Catalans succumb.
