Brazilian football legend, Ronaldinho claimed to have known Indonesian football before arriving in the country on Friday (24/6) and joined Rans Nusantara FC.
Ronaldinho came to Indonesia in order to invite Rans Nusantara, who had just been promoted to Liga 1 2022/2023 this season.
While in Indonesia Ronaldinho was a guest at the launch of the Rans jersey, as an instructor in the coaching clinic, and played for Rans Nusantara in the trophy against Arema FC and Persik Kediri at the Kanjuruhan Stadium, Sunday (26/6).
In his comments at the launch of the Rans jersey, Friday night, Ronaldinho admitted that he had known about Indonesia since Brazil.
“I have many friends who are fellow footballers [Brasil] who came here. When they return to Brazil, they tell a lot about football in Indonesia,” said Ronaldinho.
The former Barcelona star also promised to provide interesting entertainment while in Indonesia. He admitted that he would not disappoint his fans in Indonesia.
“I am ready to entertain all Indonesian people. I am ready to play,” he said.
Ronaldinho’s arrival attracted attention. He has a solid agenda in his visit to Indonesia.
Initially Ronaldinho was planned to appear in a mini tournament involving Rans, Persija Jakarta, Persis Solo, and Arema FC.
However, because Persija and Persis are still involved in the 2022 President’s Cup pre-season tournament, the agenda with Ronaldinho has changed.
