Ronaldinho the boy genius grows into a full-scale marvel' Facts about him

Somewhere in Brazil there is a man called Renato who had the chance to own 25% of Ronaldinho. A former player with Germio in the southern city of Porto Alegre, Renato let sum money - about £ 75,000 to his old club, which had fallen on hard times. And when they proved unable to repay him in cash,, they offered him a quarter-share in one of the promising local boys from their under-19 squad. Two were on offer: Ronaldinho or a midfield player called Tinga. Renato made his choice. "I had read some good things about Tinga," he said.
