Ronaldinho Given Large Room And Football To Practise In While Under House Arrest

Ronaldinho now has a large room and a football to practise in while he is under house arrest in a luxury Paraguayan hotel.

The Brazilian legend and his business-manager brother Roberto were arrested on March 6 this year and held in Paraguay on suspicion of entering the country with a false passport.

They were released from prison on Tuesday April 8 on the condition he stays within the boundaries of a hotel and will serve house arrest while awaiting their trial.

The football legend is now staying in the stunning presidential suite at the Palmaroga hotel in Asuncion.

The room boasts its own balcony, 55 inch smart TV, as well as a whirlpool bath and spacious kitchenette.

Hotel manager Emilio Yegros told AFP that Ronaldinho has been supplied a football and playing area in his room.

“He seems like a good sort. He always has a smile, like his brother.
