Ronaldinho Keen To Follow Coach Keane

FC Barcelona star Ronaldinho Gaúcho may appear to have little in common with rough-as-a-rat-catcher’s-mitt Roy Keane, but there is a point that both players have in common: the desire to take their experiences from the pitch and transform them into ideas as how best to coach a team.

Ronaldinho also praised the ex-Manchester United midfield terrier as a role model for those who want to make the switch from the rank and file to the officers’ club.

Although the testy Irishman has only helmed Sunderland through 12 games, Ronaldinho has little doubt that the legendary Roy Keane will also show the same characteristic drive to win in a sheepskin coat that he showed in a football strip.

“I’d like to be like Roy,” explained the Brazilian in original reports reflected in mammary gland oriented British tabloid The Sun.

"A lot of players just hang up their boots and do other things that have football on the edge, but I think that Roy’s example is one I’d like to follow when I retire from playing.


“I’m like him in the fact that both of us feel passion and love the game of football. It’s something that forms part of your life and I’d like to prolong that feeling as a Coach,” added the Barcelona star.
