“When I retired, I stopped playing because of my body, so much pain and injuries.” — Ronaldo

Barcelona has always had issues with Brazilian players: Neymar, Romario, Ronaldinho, and me. We were all treated badly by the club in the end, despite all our contributions and dedication.

I am much more grateful and linked to Real Madrid than to Barcelona.

I'm very uncomfortable, mainly with my belly.

Just a tiny bit of effort leaves me exhausted. Sometimes I just go up the stairs to my room, and I feel tired.
