Ronaldo Nazario was interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport where he spoke about his past in Italian football, the Brazilian team and praised Carlo Ancelotti
European coach for Brazil
“I think a European coach can coach the Brazilian team, someone like Pep or Ancelotti, they can do something incredible in the Brazilian team. It can change the history of our football in the next hundred years.”
Ancelotti
“Carlo for me was, and still is, the best person who has ever existed in the world of football. He is everyone’s friend, not just me. Everyone loves him, and as a coach he is incredible, for quality, vision, ability to understand players. He deserves all he has earned for professionalism and character”
Berlusconi
“I haven’t been to Milan for a long time but I have good anecdotes. For example, Berlusconi always came to the locker room to tell us how to take corners. At that time, we had scored from corners for a long time. . Ancelotti was a teacher, he listened to us. So when Berlusconi came out he exclaimed: ‘Let’s go back to our things'”
Brazil at the World Cup in Qatar
“Let’s see what Tite will choose. Vinicius should be a starter, as he would be in any team in the world. Raphinha works well on the right but there is Rodrygo who, like Vinicius, would be a starter for any team. And Neymar, if he’s as good as he is now, he’s very strong. And again Gabriel Jesús, who again played very well for Arsenal, and Richarlison who is a guarantee of goals AND Antony. We will see, Tite will have a problem, it is difficult to choose. And let’s also see if it starts in a more conservative way with Paquetá, Fred and Casemiro. I honestly don’t know”
His time as a striker and his relationship with rival defenders
“I came from a generation where they got hit a lot on the field. My mother. It’s not like today with 15-20 cameras, in the Classic 60. Now you can see everything. Defenders scared you, spat at you, stepped on you Beat you them. I grew up a survivor.”
the A series
“I watch Serie A and also Serie B, because I am addicted to football, but above all because I have a special relationship with Italy. The moment is complicated, but I think not all evil causes harm The fact that Italy is not Qualifying for the World Cup twice in a row creates a debate about what to do and I think now, everyone has the solution in mind: the league is must develop and for this there must be more income, the clubs must earn more. We need to invest in youth and indigenous football, find more local talent and find a balance between the Italian and foreign. Serie A has been the best league in the world for many years and you know how to do things.”
