Ronaldo runs for federation presidency

Turin, 17 December (LaPresse) – Ronaldo is running for the presidency of the Brazilian football confederation. He announced this in an interview with ‘Globo Esporte’. ‘I want to regain the prestige and respect that the Seleçao has always had, and that today it does not have,’ said the former Inter and Real Madrid striker. ‘People are stopping me in the streets and asking me to do something, because the situation at the moment is not the best, on the pitch and off it,' pointed out Ronaldo, who plans to “bring back the legends of Brazilian football to prominence” in order to make Cbf “the most appreciated company in Brazil”. Finally, the ‘Fenomeno’ announced that he will sell his shares in Valladolid, emphasising that it ‘would not be an obstacle to the candidature’.
