In the past, Belarusian Aleksandras Hlebas, who played for "Barcelona," revealed a scandalous story to the press.
According to the goalkeeper, the Catalans decided to sell their superstar Ronaldinho in 2008 for a quite unexpected reason - the athlete's drinking.
"Brazil and Deco came to training intoxicated, that's why both had to leave the team after the season.
"Barcelona" leaders were worried about the possible negative influence on Lionel Messi," said A. Hlebas.
In 2017, American journalist Dave Martinez also spoke about Ronaldinho's attraction to alcohol:
"The 'New York Red Bulls' team was interested in the player's services and agreed to call him. However, during the conversation, it became clear that the forward was drunk - the Brazilian was talking nonsense, started asking about women. The conversation was short, and the team lost interest."
