Ronaldinho article Observer Monthly “When I train, one of the things I concentrate on is creating a mental picture of how best to deliver that ball to a team-mate preferably leaving him alone in front of the rival goalkeeper. So what I do, always before a game always, every night and every day, is try and think up things, imagine plays, which no one else will have thought of, and to do so always bearing in mind the particular strengths of each team-mate to whom I am passing the ball”

Ronaldinho article Observer Monthly “When I construct those plays in my mind I take into account whether one team-mate likes to receive the ball at his feet, or ahead of him; if he is good with his head, and how he prefers to head, whether he is stronger on his right or left, that is my job. That is what I do”

To put a team- mate in a position to score….. “ So what I do, always before a game always, every night and every day, is try and think up things, imagine plays, which no one else will have thought of, and to do so always bearing in mind the particular strengths of each team-mate to whom I am passing the ball….. “ That is my job.
