I Will Teach Messi A Few Things.
The Argentine
international has surpassed his former Barcelona team-mate, but the 36-year-old
suggested he has some tips to pass on.
Ronaldinho has joked he
wants to make good use of his ambassadorial role at Barcelona by teaching
Lionel Messi a few things.
The Brazilian icon was
one of the best players in the world during his time at Barca when Messi burst
into the first-team, striking up a close relationship with him before leaving
for AC Milan in 2008.
Since then, Messi has
taken over as the new elite, becoming the first ever player to win five Ballons
d'Or as he and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo compete exclusively for the top
individual accolades.
Despite Messi reaching
the top of the game, Ronaldinho still feels he can help him improve, having
been recently given a role at the club.
"I have to teach
him a little bit more," he told UOL, before insisting that he is not ready
to start focusing on such coaching responsibilities.
When asked if the fact
he has not been at a club since a short spell at Fluminense in 2015 means he
has retired, Ronaldinho rejected the idea.
"No, calm down, I'm alright. Thank God
I'm blessed for everything he gave me and the clubs I played for, but I have to
go step by step."
