Brazilian president Lula: AC Milan’s Ronaldinho should not go to World Cup
Brazilian president Lula says he would leave AC Milan star Ronaldinho out of their World Cup squad.
Dunga has so far ignored calls for Ronaldinho to be recalled to his Brazil team.
“Ronaldinho is a great player, but that's not enough,” Lula explained. “The important thing is to see how every player inserts himself into the development of the team.
“It's something greater than the individual qualities of a player. It's a question of the team.
“Ronaldinho doesn't deserve to go to the World Cup. He has played relatively little for the Selecao and has never been decisive.”

When a president is apprehensive of a decision that affect a single citizen,who appears in the world Guinness book of record in the whole world,who is Mr. president of Brazil,it shows how sensible you are Mr. president who determined to throw away the birth water with his baby.Ronaldinho is more important in the world than Mr.President of Brazil alone.If you do not resend your decision,it shall not be well with the Brazilian team at the world cup and we shall not support them in South Africa come June 2010,Brazil remain the only flavor in world cup and please do not spoil the legacy left by the great Pele of Brazil.Please focus the domestic problem in Brazil as substance president.
