Ronaldinho To Play In Prison Tournament
14 March, 2020
With Ronaldinho's recent arrest shocking the world, the story appears to be taking another bizarre turn, with the former Brazil and FC Barcelona now reportedly set to feature in a prison football tournament.
Late last week, it had been reported that the 39-year-old and his brother were arrested in Paraguay after being caught with fake passports.
Ronaldinho and his sibling were then reported to be denied bail and house arrest, however the story appears to be getting even crazier following recent news.
According to new reports, the jail the Brazilian is being held in, called Agrupacion Especializada, is defined to stage a futsal tournament, and the former Barca playmaker is set to feature.
ABC TV journalist Ivan Leguizamon has claimed that Ronaldinho has the ability to play in the tournament, and that many of the team captains are reportedly trying to "sign" him because of their sides.
The above tweet translates loosely to: "When Ronaldinho is denied freedom, his participation in the tournament of prisoners of the Specialized Group is imminent. Actually, yesterday evening he already got engaged to his fellow jailers. Where team do you want to play and what conditions were imposed."
It is further claimed that the inmates set to play in the tournament have agreed that Ronaldinho, considered among football's greatest players ever, will not be allowed to score.
