XtraTime Web Desk: Former Brazilian World Cup winning footballer Ronaldinho wants the trials to be over soon. It has been sixty days since the Brazilian was arrested for allegedly trying to enter Paraguay with a fake passport. The former Barcelona footballer has been behind bars for 32 days before being shifted to a four-star Hotel Palmaroga in the Paraguayan capital Asuncoin.
During an interview with Mundo Deportivo, the 40-year-old lifted the lid on his life while under house arrest.
According to Ronaldinho, “Here at the Palmaroga Hotel we have excellent treatment. We have everything well ordered, we are very calm and they do anything to pass time in the most pleasant way possible.”
He expressed his frustration saying, “It has been sixty long days. People in their homes must imagine what it must be like not being to do what you are used to. I think that is something will remain forever to all us after living this complicated experience.”
During his stint in jail, Ronaldinho was involved in lot of sporting activities. He played a game of footvolley with the prisoners. He scored five goals and made six assists in the prison futsal tournament.
The 2002 World Cup winner admitted he can still have a kick about while on house arrest in Paraguay.
Ronaldinho said: “We do sports and academy almost every day. We have a gym where we can work and a room that has been adapted for us.”
The hotel that the 40-year-old is staying in is owned by the Barcelona group – and he remains very grateful to his former club.
