The Brazillian Olympic Squad, which include both Ronnie and Pato, are in Vietnam at the moment. Unfortunately, I am stuck here in Sydney with things and when I am flying back to visit my family (in a week time), they would be long gone to Beijing.
Anyway,last night I had a chat with a friend of mine, who is one of the reporter for a sports newspaper in Hanoi. My friend was one of the only few who had access to the closed-door Brazillian trainning session. He told me that despite Ronnie still seems to have a bit of of a belly, he moves very well and hasnt lost any of the technical genius touches. According to my friend, he also appears to be relaxed and enjoying his football. so that's a good thing. Apparently, Ronnie scored one in that practice match and set up pato for another. Pa-Ro partnership is already looking deadly.
My friend also gave special praises to Pato. He told me that Pato looks so mature and calm IRL. it's amazing how he, as a seventeen year old, can take this sort of pressure.
