Ronaldinho doesn't stop. The "Gaucho" would still play even if he doesn't know where: it's in his DNA. Napoli needs a striker, but the Brazilian legend doesn't plan to take that chance: 

"I'll play another year, I don't know where but I'll play. Then we'll see," -he told Corriere dello Sport -"Napoli? I'm afraid that I'm a little too old for the Serie A. But it's an honor that anyone would even suggest this. Totti plays in the Serie A at 40 years old? He's one of the best players in historyThe best were always Pelè and Maradona. My role is to watch and admire them. Why do players like myself, Francesco and Del Piero play until 40? Because players like us are born once every 50 years. It's natural that we play until that age."

Ronaldinho the coach? "I don't think so. It's not in my comfort zone: I don't even like to watch 90 minutes of football on television. I can't do it. I prefer the best moments, the goals. And there are already top-class coaches around the world. One of the best, for example is Luis Enrique: Barcelona has a skilled coach and many of the best players in the world. It's logical that they still win often." Which trident is better: Ronaldinho-Eto'o-Messi or Messi-Suarez-Neymar? "It's difficult to choose, no? Lots of goals and lots of class on one side and lots of wins on the other. Now they have Neymar, who I struggle to define as 'my heir.'  He's a person and an athlete that I love. If anything, his next objective must be to become the best player on the planet: he's already the best player from Brazil. And I believe that the next Seleçao can grow around him. We have different young players of great quality.".

Gerson of Roma? "I know him, I played with him at Fluminense. He's very talented and very young, they tell me that he's similar to Pogbabut for me it's different. He has a great left foot and it's powerful, but not powerful enough yet to enter into the Serie A. Wait for him, patiently."  On Milan's Chinese ownership: "Not much amazes me today. Football has changed a lotI'm surprised that Paolo Maldini has left the club where his family has always lived. It would be complicated to adjust to a Milan without Berlusconi, but the world goes on.Ronaldinho closed the interview by talking about his motive to move to Milan: "Even that, for me, was moving forward. Kakà, Pato, ShevchenkoIbrahimovic and so on: lots of star players on one team. It was the right moment to choose Milan."
