Ronaldinho dropped four pounds in a week and is the weight in his golden age in Barcelona, as the coach of Milan.
It is working well, has not missed even a training, said Daniele Tognaccini, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday. The goal is to bring the level of speed and strength he had when he won the Golden Ball in 1999.
After Silvio Berlusconi promised to behave like a professional, Ronaldinho said that the best will in the next championships, after a dull first year with Milan.
I look forward all year to play a good level. Everyone, including myself, know my potential, know what I can offer in my head and Milan are now only one thing: make a good preparation, said the Brazilian, according to the Gazzetta.
Berlusconi, Milan's president and prime minister of Italy, gave rise to the player on Sunday at a podium and do him a promise to his colleagues: a great champion and I swear to your peers that you behave like a pro all season, and that guiarás to Milan to victory.
Surprised because it was not expected, Ronaldinho said: I promise.
Last year had started well, but three months after injury, finished in banking stocks and demoralized.
In 2008-09 he played in 29 tournament championship game, six in UEFA Cup and a Cup in Italy. He scored ten goals in total, eight in the championship and two in the UEFA Cup.
All eyes are now on it. At the start of the preseason, his compatriot, Leonardo, the team's new coach, told him clearly: You must change the channel and assume your responsibilities.
The responsibility is greater now because Ronaldinho Kaká, Milan's top star, he went to Real Madrid.
