Recently in an interview Pele said that the experience of Ronaldinho could have on Brazil a calming effect if Dunga, the coach, recalled him.
Pele is a three-times winner of World Cup and on Tuesday he admitted of picking Ronaldinho.
About Lionel Messi also he said little in the interview. He said that Messi needs a well-organised Argentina team so that the squad can exhibit good form. He added further that Spain and England would be dangerous opponents in the South Africa.
Though he praised the record of Dunga, but at the same time he was also concerned about lack of experience in the World Cup among the players and he is to be expected to be picked for the team.
Pele said, “I think Brazil are on the right track but we have to be careful because the majority of the players have never played at a World Cup before, so there will be a lot of pressure and we must see how those players handle it.”
Well, few months more of waiting to get the facts which will be reflected on the world cup 2010 tickets.
He also added in the interview, “If Ronaldinho keeps playing as he is now … I believe he would be a good component because he could help when the younger players feel the pressure.”
Last April Ronaldinho played for Brazil and he has also been in perfect form this year for AC Milan, thought there was speculation of him about a return to the national team.
Despite the poor qualifying campaign of Brazil and Spain, both can expect tough opposition from Argentina.
Pele said, “Even (top) teams that are not in form like Argentina, who practically qualified in last place, we’ve got to respect them because they’re a country accustomed to playing the World Cup.”
