Ronaldinho retracted his words to the Brazilian national team and explained his statement

Yesterday, we reported that the legendary Brazilian forward Ronaldinho Gaúcho harshly criticized the Brazilian national team. He called his former team one of the weakest in recent times and stated that he would not watch their matches in the Copa América.

Following the backlash he received, the former footballer promptly decided to clarify his comments. Ronaldinho explained that his remarks were intentionally made to draw public attention to the national team. According to him, this will help the players, especially the young ones, feel supported.

"Brazil needs support. The young players have a lot of talent, and they urgently need the backing of the Brazilian people. Now, with the Copa América, we can return with the trophy.

I have teamed up with Rexona to support Brazil, and we will create a huge chain of support for Brazil."

The Ballon d'Or winner also stated that he will watch all matches involving the Brazilian national team.

"I said this to get a reaction from everyone. I will support Brazil like never before."

To recall, Brazil is in a group with Colombia, Paraguay, and Costa Rica for the Copa América. Their first match will be on June 25.
