Which former Flamengo player will make a special appearance in Times Square, New York?


Former Flamengo player Ronaldinho has signed a contract with Rede Globo to take part in a segment on the network called “Rolê do Bruxo.” One of the former player's appearances will involve juggling a soccer ball in Times Square, New York.

The idea is for Ronaldinho to leave Globo’s studios in disguise and start juggling the ball in Times Square. That way, whoever recognizes him the fastest will get a surprise, according to the network.

In addition, Ronaldinho also aims to try the main American sports: basketball, baseball, football, and golf. In other words, the former player promises to take on major challenges during the World Cup.

What was Ronaldinho’s journey like at Flamengo?

Ronaldinho arrived at Flamengo in the 2011 season and won that year’s Campeonato Carioca. Wearing the Sacred Jersey, the star played 72 matches, scored 28 goals, and provided 17 assists. In other words, he had a hand in 45 goals.

Ronaldinho left in the following season. That was because Flamengo could no longer afford to pay the star’s salary. Therefore, the ‘wizard’ left the Most Beloved with only the Carioca title in his bag.
