๐จ๐ฃ๏ธ Ronaldo Nazario on Joao Pedro out of the Brazil team for friendlies:
๐ฃ๏ธ โWhat a shame to call on him after what happened at the World Cup. Honestly, even if heโs not lying about his fitness, I would have lied in his case.โ
โThereโs no prize for risking it in a friendly when the real battle is waiting at club level. Why?โ
๐ฃ๏ธ โI understand the decision completely. Thereโs not much honour in putting your fitness on the line for a friendly, especially when you know the club matches are most important now.โ
โSo let people talk, protect your body, recover properly and then watch them judge you where it actually matters: on the pitch for your club.โ
โThatโs where Joรฃo Pedro needs to show everyone what he can do.โ
