The British newspaper, “The Sun”, revealed a strange incident, whose hero was the Brazilian magician Ronaldinho, the former star of “samba”, and the clubs of Barcelona, Saint-Germain and Milan, Italy.
And the newspaper reported, that the former star of the English Derby Conte team, Argentine Emmanuel Villa, revealed a very embarrassing and “unbelievable” thing about Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho.
And it was quoted by Villa, that he had witnessed a ridiculous and shocking incident, when he discovered that Ronaldinho, at the age of 35, did not know how to withdraw money from his bank account. Villa played alongside the Brazilian magician in the Mexican team Queretaro in the 2015 season.
Villa commented on the details of the incident, and said: Ronaldinho’s brother was doing everything for him related to money and administrative procedures, and on one occasion his brother traveled to Miami, America without telling him, so Ronaldinho had to pay some money to buy his necessities.
He added: “After training and I was with him, he went to the accountant in the club’s management, and asked him for a loan of about 1,400 dollars, telling him that his brother had traveled without telling him and did not leave him any cash.”
He continued, and the employee replied that he was happy to lend him any money he wanted, but he was surprised that he wanted a loan and had an account in the bank linked to the accounts of the Queretaro Club, and that the money came down to him in his account every two weeks, and he did not need his brother, being the owner of the account.
And he continued, as he told him, “You are the advertising face of the largest bank we deal with, and it is unreasonable to ask for a loan, and you have money in your account, you can easily withdraw whatever you want from it.
Villa said he was shocked when Ronaldinho replied to the employee: Can I really withdraw money from my bank account? He emphasized that Ronaldinho had absolutely no idea about the simple way to withdraw money from his bank account.
And the Argentine player continued: It is really ironic, big international stars, and simple things in life that they do not know, the real thing is that the general picture usually about the stars does not reflect reality at all.
And he was surprised: A global star and legend does not know how to withdraw money?!
It is worth noting that Ronaldinho, 41, was involved in many financial problems, part of which is related to his ignorance in financial and administrative matters, as his brother Roberto de Assis implicated him in several problems, perhaps the most prominent and famous of which is the story of “forged passports”, which also proves The extent of Ronaldinho’s ignorance of the law, when he used it without realizing the danger of entering countries with a forged passport, and because of it he spent six months in a Paraguay prison.
That case did not end except with a huge fine for Ronaldinho and his brother, and at the time a former lawyer for Ronaldinho described the Brazilian star as “stupid”, and that he left himself to his brother to manipulate him.
