Ronaldinho wants full-time striker’srole at Barcelona

RONALDINHO has urged Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard to gamble on using him as an out-and-out striker this season.

The Brazilian is on a mission to cause maximum devastation to Primera Liga defences and feels that the best position from which to do so is as a central frontman.

An adaptable player, the World Cup winner can play on the flanks, as a striker, or in an advanced central midfield role.
