Ronaldinho feels his compatriot Endrick would be a good fit for both Milan and Roma and is confident Carlo Ancelotti will achieve ‘great things’ with Brazil: ‘He’s the best coach in the world.’
In his latest interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Ronaldinho talked not only about his imminent return to the pitch, but also about one of his compatriots, Endrick, who has been linked with both Milan and Roma for the January window.
Endrick, 20, has made only seven appearances across all competitions for Real Madrid this season, scoring one goal against Roma.
Ronaldinho: Endrick can ‘certainly’ leave his mark at Roma or Milan
Ronaldinho certainly believes his compatriot can leave his mark with either the Rossoneri or the Giallorossi, if he moves to Serie A in January.
“Certainly. He can play anywhere in the world,” Ronaldinho said.
“He’s played in many leagues and has done well in France, Brazil, and Spain. He’s very young, and he can do well.”
Ronaldinho is preparing to play his first competitive match in more than ten years as he’ll start for Italian Serie C side Ravenna in a derby against Forlì. The Brazilian landed in Italy on Friday and trained with his teammates for the first time today.
His return to action is part of a wider business partnership with Ravenna President Ignazio Cipriani, but Ronaldinho, who turned 46 this past March, is expected to play at least 30 minutes in an actual league game between two local rivals. His last competitive match dates back to 2015.
Another connection between Italy and Brazil is surely represented by the Seleçao coach Carlo Ancelotti: “He’s the best coach in the world; I’m sure he’ll do great things,” Ronaldinho concluded.
