Chairman Archipelago Rans FC Rudy Salim admitted there was a briefing error in the match Ronaldinho Trophy at Kanjuruhan Stadium, Malang, Sunday (26/6).
As a result, the mini-tournament as a pre-season event, which was supposed to be a leisurely run, looked like it was too serious.
“That’s why, yesterday I had the wrong briefing. I said this is a fun game, it turns out that ‘next door’ might be considered a kung fu fight. So I misunderstood, it seems that yesterday was really serious, it was like the Champions League,” said Rudy.
According to him, if the game was more relaxed, Ronaldinho could show his ability as a world football legend.
“In fact, if it’s a fun game, we can pass him and we can see Ronaldinho’s skills. So he can only pass five or six times,” said Rudy.
“But amazing [Ronaldinho] have accurate passing. He can see which way his friends are running,” said Rudy.
Rudy also revealed the reason Ronaldinho only appeared in the early Trofeo session and then did not take to the field at the end of the match. He said the former Barcelona star could not play again if he had rested for more than 15 minutes.
“So why not play right at the end, because he said when he rested for 15 minutes his body was cold and he didn’t feel any more. Especially if he waited 45 minutes, so he had already taken a shower and couldn’t play anymore,” said Rudy.
“He said that after 15 minutes he should immediately start playing again. Fortunately, he was relaxed. But really, when the ball was passed, he looked very enthusiastic,” said Rudy.
