The Brazil coach Luis Felipe Scolari decided to pick Ronaldinho for the friendly match on 6 February against England.

Ronaldinho is back! Voted best player last season in Brazil, the playmaker of Atlético Mineiro, aged 33, will play under the jersey of Brazil yet once again. Ronnie will be accompanied, among others by Neymar (Santos), Fred (Fluminense) or Lucas (PSG).  Scolari, however, did not pick another Brazilian Ballon d’Or Kaka struggling lately with Real Madrid.

“I want what everyone else wants, which is that they play the football they are capable of playing,” Scolari told reporters.

“Few can play the game better than them. I also want good behaviour. I want them to be responsible, regardless of their age.”

The former Chelsea boss also revealed he is confident Brazil can claim their sixth World Cup on home soil in 2014, amid high expectations of his side from the public.

“We have placed our bets on a World Cup win and that is what we are working towards,” he said. “The supporters are right to demand it.”
