Ronaldinho, the party lover: the condition he asked for when he played in Brazil

Ronaldinho is one of the greatest Brazilian players of the last decades. The historical no. 10 has been a World Champions, a Ballon d’Or winner and marked an era as he was one of the more joyful and funny players in the world. Everything started at Gremio, his former club in which he played until July 2001.

On that exact date Paris Saint-Germain paid $5 million to the Brazilian side to sign who was then a great prospect. Dinho then passed through FC Barcelona and AC Milan in Europe, before leaving back to his country. His crazy time at Europe lasted 10 years and was riddled with polemics and disputes.

On January 2011 Milan decided that Ronaldinho was doing too much trouble and decided to axe him. The playmaker had a reported value of $30 million on those days, according to specialized website Transfermarkt, but the Italian club let him out for just $3 million, as he was bringing too many conflicts.

Flamengo signed him, and it was now revealed that in those times Ronaldinho asked for an exclusive Sambódromo, a place where Brazilian Carnival and parties take place, so that he could enjoy it two months later, on February, he had been away from his country since the last decade.
