He said that he would also demonstrate Samba dance during the match when he would score a goal. “Yes, no problem,” when he was asked whether he would dance after scoring a goal.

Earlier, before leaving for Islamabad, Ronaldinho told reporters in Dubai that he was very happy to know that the people of Lyari admired him so much.

He said he was delighted that Brazil had already qualified for the World Cup. “I am very excited that Brazil have made it to the World Cup.

The team can win the event and bring back happiness to my country,” he said. The 37-year old looked very exhausted because of his tough travelling schedule.
