Transfer Tales: Ronaldinho was ‘almost announced’

Juan Mata: “I had players that I looked up to. For example, when I was a kid I remember Pablo Aimar, an Argentinian player. He used to play for Valencia and other teams and he was fantastic. I used to love watching him. [Zinedine] Zidane, Ronaldinho, you know, these very creative attacking players. My family was an inspiration off the pitch and on the pitch those great players.”

Andreas Pereira: “Of course, Brazil has a lot of players but I always enjoyed watching Kaka and Ronaldinho, because they played in more or less my position. When I used to watch Ronaldinho with his dribbling skills and the way he played, I was a fan of that. With Kaka, you know, he’s really fast and he scores goals and for me, both are players I look up to.”
