Parreira puts faith in Ronaldo

"O Ronaldo está escalado e vai começar jogando (contra a Austrália, domingo). Se eu não colocar o Ronaldo para jogar, ele nunca vai entrar em forma" - Carlos Alberto Parreira

"Ronaldo is in the team and will start the match (against Australia this Sunday). If I don't put Ronaldo in to play, he will never find his form." - Carlos Alberto Parreira

Ronaldo wasn't just off form. He was lost, totally out of the game. Brazil were playing with 10 players until Robinho came on. At least in Kaka they have a player who is on form and looking to make his mark. He could be the stand out player of the competition.
