Former Brazil international Ronaldinho
says he has no plans for retirement and will secure a new club after
celebrating the Rio carnival in February.
The 35-year-old two-time FIFA World
Player of the Year has been without a club since cancelling his contract with
Fluminense in Sept. 2015. He has spent his time travelling the globe to
participate in charity matches and this week returned to Flu to compete in the
Florida Cup in the USA where he denied suggestions he could be set to retire
from the game.
"There is a lots to come in
2016," he told reporters. "I'll decide what to do next after
carnival. For now, I plan to travel the world to promote football but now is
not the time to stop. I will play for a little longer. It felt good to feel the
affection of the fans [in the USA]. It made me very happy. Now I have to get on
with my life and do my best to repay what they have given me."
Ronaldinho, who did not train with his
old club in the USA admitted he was there in more of an ambassadorial role,
made his 11th and final appearance for Fluminense via a substitute appearance
in the 1-0 defeat to Colorado on Wednesday.
