Ronaldinho gets number 80 shirt
July 21, 2008 by Kerron
After a fracas with new teammate Clarence Seedorf over the number 10 shirt and fellow Brazilian Leonardo’s failure to convince the Dutch international to relinquish his number 10 shirt; new Milan idol Ronaldinho has settled for a less than conventional squad number.
Seedorf was reported as saying that Ronaldinho is not needed at the club and the Dutch veteran is not willing to give up the number he has played in for most of his Milan career and this has sparked the first murmurs of unrest in the Milan camp but instead of taking the vacant number 11 shirt that was left by the departure of Alberto Gillardino to Fiorentina; the Brazilian maestro has gone for the unconventional number 80.
The rationale behind the choice for the number is the fact that Ronaldinho, or little Ronaldo, was born in 1980.
