Nearly a year ago many blogs on the Internet started posting up images of pictures of Ronaldinho’s house. When I first saw them that long ago, I was rather impressed with the house and I thought it was great. The biggest question that plagued my mind was the exclusive access that was given to the photographer by Ronaldinho himself. It turns out the pictures were first posted on a Malaysian website, which asks the question: Malaysian website with images of Ronaldinho’s house in Spain? Nevertheless the following are the images that were posted.

Jack Might Live Here But Ronaldinho Doesn’tIt turned out that these images are fake and this is not Ronaldinho’s house, but it was very believable considering the beauty and luxury that this house depicts. I’ve talked about the money maker Ronaldinho is and so many can be forgiven to believe these pictures are of his house. In reality these images depict The Golden Conch on sale in Maui, Hawaii which starts at $6500 a night. You can find the full description and images here.

It also makes sense when you see Ronaldinho’s house in one of the Nike 10R Ads which feature Ronaldinho walking around in his house with his brother Roberto looking at the Nike Football website. You can find the video Nike put up called “The Message” which shows Ronaldinho’s real house below.

Barcelona have their match against Beijing Guoan coming up today and probably being played out as I write this. Much like a low blow for the best player in the world, Ronaldinho is doubtful to play in today’s match because last night he bruised/rolled his ankle during training when he decided to pull off one of his trademark tricks. I suspect it was the Elastico, however, he was challenged by a fellow team mate when he tried to execute the manoeuvre and that is why he did suffer the injury. He suffered the injury with less than 24 hours to go before he was scheduled to go out onto the pitch against Beijing Guoan, but on the other hand, Ronaldinho can be grateful that it wasn’t anything more serious and still has the whole Asian trip to look forward to.

Unfortunately for myself, like Ronaldinho, I also picked up an toe injury when I was playing a Premier League game yesterday, but unlike him, I’ll be out of action for around 3 weeks or so, which I am pretty upset about
