Ronaldinho will be one of the main stars taking part in the Free Kick Masters 2007 to be held on December 22 in Houston and is a competition to find the greatest free kick taker in the world.
This will be the second edition of the competition, and one player who surely has to be a contender for the accolade is our very own Ronaldinho. The Brazilian has confirmed his presence in the United States at a special presentation held at the Camp Nou on Friday.
The complete set of entrants has yet to be confirmed, but Ronaldinho knows he will be up against some tough opposition. “There are some very good free kick takers, all those taking part will be good at it” he said. “I like Beckham, Thierry Henry, Roberto Carlos, Márquez, Deco... All of those players can shoot really well.”
A great weapon
Ronaldinho is undoubtedly one of the best free kick specialists in the world, and naturally, he would love to prove that once again in the run-in to the end of the season. “There are a few games left and I will try to do my best for the team, and score some goals to help us the way to the title.”
Six goals from free kicks this season
Ronaldinho has certainly demonstrated his talent this season, having scored six times from free
kicks, five times in the League and once in the Champions League. His victims to date have been
Sevilla, Racing, Valencia, Atlético Madrid, Zaragoza and Werder Bremen.
