Ronaldinho's Milan number revealed

[persian boy]

New Milan idol Ronaldinho has settled for a less than conventional squad number after failing to sweet-talk Clarence Seedorf into relinquishing his number 10 shirt.

All of Ronaldinho's many highlight reel moments with Barcelona had him wearing the number ten, so he is famous around the world for wearing what is tantamount to a sacred number in football.

Seedorf has occupied that squad number for most of his Milan career, however, and the fact that the Dutch veteran is not willing to give it up has sparked the first murmurs of unrest in the Milan camp as a result of Ronaldinho's high profile arrival.

Rather than go for the No 11 shirt made available by the departure of Alberto Gilardino to Fiorentina, Milan's new Samba king has instead opted for the number 80.

The rationale behind the choice for the number is the fact that Ronaldinho, or little Ronaldo, was born in 1980.

No word yet on whether the company that manages Ronaldinho's image rights is planning to change their name from 'R10' to 'R80'!

LOL, is R80 the beginning of a new era ?

Ronaldo has 99, Ronaldinho gets 80...if Cristiano Ronaldo joins Milan maybe he'll get 69

seriously one of the funniest commnets i have ever seen on this site.

Seedorf is a man who never stops working for Milan, has scored countless important goals for Milan.

And........oh yeah, he is the only man to ever win 3 champions leagues with 3 different teams.

mate u have to show respect to people who deserve it. Just because you may like someone else more, doesnt make the other person crap.

[Suprah]

seedorf is badass. he has won everything at club level multiple times, so to me he has the right to be stubborn coz he's proved he's that good enough.

and i hate milan.

i didnt say hes crap, hes great, but i think he should have given it up. If c ronaldo comes to real madrid there is no way raul is going to give up 7, because thats HIS shirt. I just dont feel the milan 10 is SEEDORFS shirt, hes played for ajax, madrid, inter, and hes only had the 10 for a few years with milan, he was 20. I just think it would make sense to hand it over.

seedorf deserves the number 10 just for this:
