Ronaldinho is not only known in football for his dazzling skills or his impeccable ability to open up enemy defences but for his amazing spirit and personality off the pitch. Long after his playing days, he is still remembered today because of all the time he made people smile. Here’s an anecdote that reflects what a man he is!
Iniesta reveals how Ronaldinho used a brilliant mind trick to test the mental strength of his teammates.
The Spaniard explains how Ronaldinho calls him at 3 am one night and lets him on to a secret and tells him not to tell anyone. Apparently , he had told everybody else that secret too.
Before the Real Madrid game , Dinho reveals how what he said wasn’t true and the fact that every team member kept the secret to themselves meant that they were truly a team and had each other’s backs.
That night they beat Madrid 3-0 and Dinho earned a standing ovation from the Bernabeu crowd after scoring a memorable brace.
