Ronaldinho was presented by AC Milan in front of 40 thousand people today.
They sold over 5 thousand season tickets in one day... Insane! The man hasn't even played a game and is already doing his job. As you can tell by the pictures, the smile is back and that means his game will be back as well.
And talking about on the pitch, Ancelotti has confessed playing a christmas tree formation with Ronnie and Kaka playing right behind the striker, most likely Pato with Inzaghi coming in when the going gets tough.
It seems that he'll be wearing the number 11 left by Gilardino as Milan doesn't make their players give up their numbers while active. Wonder what will happen to his 10R line.
More pix after the jump including the presentation video at the end...
This is the presentation video.. Such a Berlusconi thing with all the fireworks and what not... Gotta love it though.

I was in a meeting with a Nike rep.
The entire 10R line has been put on hold until it was decided what his future was.
It's a possibility he might even be dropped from Nike since AC is an adidas club.
The only things certain are that his"ronaldinho dois" boot will continue to run through until Spring 2009 and that his 10R clothing line has been cancelled for the next 2 quarters.
I like him in Nike commercials. His fun-loving, carefree attidude + Nike's cleverness= Entertaining TV.
When was the last time you saw an adidas ad that you just loved?

Oh wow.. You're absolutely right though, Adidas commercials are way lame.
But Nike drop him?? I don't know about that man. It'd be very stupid of them, and I thought he had a lifetime contract with them like R9.
