Romario denies reports of the end of his career © EuroFootball.com

"Brazilian football legend Romario on Thursday stated that journalists misunderstood him and wrongly interpreted his words, claiming that he decided to end his football career. Celebrating his 39th birthday in a month, the legendary Brazilian footballer said he plans to play for Vasco de Gama club. "What I said a few days ago in Florianopolis was misunderstood by the press. I simply said that I am no longer inclined to constant training, but at that time I had not yet decided what to do. That does not mean that I will stop playing now. I want you to know that clearly," Romario said. "I will not stop playing now, I think I will play for at least another six months. I have a great opportunity to play again for Vasco da Gama and wear the same number 11 jersey. The same one I wore when leaving the club." Since October 1994, the World Cup champion Romario has not played for any club."
