Ronaldinho Confident Brazil Can Win World Cup, Predicts Final Against Spain
Although he won’t be playing in the World Cup with Brazil, former football star Ronaldinho remains fully supportive of his country’s chances. The legendary ex-Barcelona player was notably absent from coach Luis Felipe Scolari’s final squad for the tournament. However, he has no doubt that Brazil, playing on home soil, has what it takes to lift the prestigious trophy.
Speaking to Cadena Cope radio, Ronaldinho expressed his belief that Brazil is the team to beat. “My favorite for the World Cup? Brazil. They’re playing at home, so they have every chance of winning,” he stated.
When asked about the potential final, the former Ballon d’Or winner predicted a showdown against Spain, a team he holds dear due to his close friendships with many of their players. “In the final? Against Spain, because they’re the team where I left the most friends. It would be a great match, because for me, these two teams are the best in the world.”
Reflecting on the Confederations Cup, where Brazil defeated Spain in a stunning 3-0 final, Ronaldinho hinted at the possibility of a repeat performance. “You saw what happened in Brazil last time…” he remarked, reinforcing his confidence that Brazil could replicate their dominance on home soil once again.
With Brazil’s rich footballing history and the support of players like Ronaldinho, the nation’s World Cup prospects are a source of excitement and optimism heading into the tournament.
