Hi my name is Matt and I think I've been a football fan since I was about 5. I support Liverpool for my sins but I do try to keep my feet on the ground. My greatest sporting moment has to be that night in Istanbul when I cried like a little boy! Tweets @ Matt_V_Football.

‘Ronaldinho Will Snub Blackburn and Return to Brazil’ – Berlusconi

AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has confirmed that Brazilian playmaker Ronaldinho desires a move to his native Brazil.

In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport he said:

“Ronaldinho? I am sorry he has left, he is the greatest player in the world when it comes to the speed of thinking and execution, but it was his choice to return to Brazil.”

Berlusconi’s comments suggest that Blackburn may not be favourites to land the former World Player of the Year and that the 30-year-old has already made up his mind.

Ronaldinho is said to have decided to leave Milan over a pay dispute but the one-time World Cup winner has struggled to impress in Italy. Brazilian club Gremio had looked favourites to land the former Barca man until Blackburn Rovers stepped in.
