RAVENNA (The Thursday Times) — Club ke coach ke mutabiq Brazil ke azeem footballer Ronaldinho Itwar ko 11 baras se zaid arse mein apna pehla muqablati match khelenge, jab Ravenna Italy ke teesre division mein maqami harif Forli ki mezbani karega.
Ravenna ke manager Andrea Mandorlini ne Jumme ko sahafiyon se kaha: “Woh shuru se khelenge, is mein koi shak nahin. Phir hum mil kar tay karenge ke woh kitni der khelte hain. Woh jadeed daur ke azeem tareen khiladiyon mein se ek hain. Aur hamein nateeja hasil karna hai. Hum hamesha teen forwards ke saath khelte hain. Woh un teen mein se ek honge.”
46 sala Ronaldinho ne aakhri muqablati match September 2015 mein Brazil mein Fluminense ki janib se khela tha. Unhon ne is saal Serie C ki team Ravenna mein shamooliyat ikhtiyar ki aur club mein hissa bhi khareeda, lekin ab tak yeh wazeh nahin tha ke woh kabhi is ki taraf se khelenge ya nahin.
Woh Jumme ko Italy wapas pohanche aur Hafte ko apne naye saathiyon ke saath un ka sirf ek training session tay tha, jis ke baad Stadio Bruno Benelli mein derby hogi, jahan mutawaqqa hujoom ke liye ek aarzi stand banaya gaya hai. Ravenna 13 matches ke baad points table par doosre number par hai.
Barcelona aur AC Milan ke sabiq playmaker keh chuke hain ke woh ek aur goal kar ke apne career ke goals ki tadad 300 tak pohanchana chahte hain. Un ke saath khelne wale forward Simone Rabbi ne kaha ke Ravenna ko milne wali koi bhi penalty Ronaldinho lenge.
Club ke malik Ignazio Cipriani ne is saal ke awail mein kaha tha: “Un ka maqsad romani hai, apna aakhri goal karne ki koshish. Un ki shamooliyat mehz alamati iqdam ya logon mein hamara charcha karwane ke liye marketing ka harba nahin.”
Ronaldinho ne 2002 mein Brazil ke saath World Cup aur 2005 mein Ballon d’Or jeeta, aur Barcelona ke saath Spain mein aur AC Milan ke saath Italy mein league titles jeete.
