"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."
