Ronaldinho backs 'great player' Seaman
LONDON (Reuters) - Brazil striker Ronaldinho says he was saddened to see
David Seaman in tears after England's World Cup quarter-final defeat and
hopes his winning goal would not damage the England goalkeeper's reputation.
England number one Seaman was pictured weeping after the 2-1 defeat last
Friday, blaming himself for conceding Ronaldinho's goal from a long-range
free kick.
"I really was very sad when I saw those images of Seaman crying on the
television," Ronaldinho was quoted as saying in Monday's Daily Mirror
newspaper.
"I have been a great admirer of him for a long time. He is a great player
with a great past. It would be a terrible mistake if people changed their
thoughts about him because of one isolated moment like that.
"I don't want to be responsible for lowering his reputation because he doesn't
deserve that. I don't want that on my conscience.
"I'm sure he's going to recover and find his way back up to be the great
player he has always been.
"I really hope that happens. My intention was never to hurt him.
"I don't think he could have done anything about the goal anyway. It wasn't
a mistake and no one should blame him," he said.
Ronaldinho, who was sent off soon after his goal for a foul on Danny Mills,
has received a one-match ban from FIFA and will miss Brazil's semi-final
against Turkey on Wednesday.
在FIFA網站上看見這篇文章,真的是感動。
我想對英格蘭來說巴西真的是一個"很棒"的對手,
很可惜Ronaldinho下一戰必須禁賽,但仍希望巴西能一路過關斬將拿到冠軍。
