Ronaldinho shrugs off weight jibes
Earlier boss Frank Rijkaard downplayed concerns about Ronaldinho’s fitness. The Brazilian was pictured after the Champions League defeat by Liverpool looking overweight. Rijkaard does not believe the matter to be a major issue and feels the photographs published were misleading.
The Dutchman said: “When the photo is taken quite close by, with inadequate light or if there is some movement, it can vary the reality a lot and, in this instance, for me there are doubts.”
