Brazil coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 in July. The Canarinho will also face
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 in another friendly before the tournament begins.
Brazil and Romania will lock horns on June 7 and Ronaldo will be given a chance in that game which is going to be the legend’s farewell match. 28 players have been called up to the Brazilian squad in the wake of preparations for the upcoming tournament.
The coach has decided to provide handful of time to each player on the pitch in order to select the final team for the tournament in July.
The 34-year-old retired from professional football earlier in February this year, citing his physical fitness as the main reason. He believed that his legs could not run continuously for 90 minutes. He was thankful towards the officials who were eager to
provide him with an opportunity to say the final goodbye to the home fans.
Ronaldo spent his final playing days with a Brazilian based club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Corinthians-c38855, before deciding to retire after the ‘Almighty’ got eliminated from the Copa Libertadores. There he revealed that his body could no longer bear the requirements of professional
football.
Menezes further added, "We're not asking a lot of him [Ronaldo], it will be a moment of friendship, of joy for him more than being on the pitch. He'll come on in the first half, he'll play a few minutes and during the break he can make his farewells."
