THE forthcoming wedding of Brazilian football star Ronaldo to Brazilian model Daniella Ciccarelli in February is proving a difficult prospect.

BRAZIL star Ronaldo is splitting from his wife and has complained that footballers were portrayed in his homeland as ignorant.

RONALDO’S wife has followed her husband from Italian football to Spanish football — but she has joined Atletico Madrid.

Ronaldo last night revealed the measure of his desire to take the World Cup home to Brazil for the fifth time.
