Ronaldo rejected by the Pope for only suitable look for the Queen

Ronaldo Nazario wanted the Pope's blessing. It was presented in St. Peter's Square in Rome immaculate with sunglasses, dark suit, white shirt and tie. Every Wednesday Francisco offers public catechesis to the faithful early risers, who struggle to see the pontiff closely. And there was presented the Brazilian star, probably without queuing or be removed before the ticket.

The former striker of Barcelona and Real Madrid held under the winter sun that warms these days the Italian capital, while the Pope threw their darts this time against corrupt politicians as biblical passages and countless priests greeted in countless languages.

An hour later, Ronaldo thought it would behoove the time. Because that's whenJorge Maria Bergoglio received in audience celebrities who have obtained the consent of the Vatican. Francisco photo with trading higher, but among the only snapshots of retired footballer who saw that day was not the bishop of Rome, but two women dressed in white.

They were responsible for the truncated encounter between the Brazilian and Argentine pope phenomenon. A few centimeters separated the handshake between the two, when the Swiss Guard honors fulfilled its mission. Prietas put rows and prevented the two women dressed in pure white came up to the pontiff, who did not see another color. Ronaldo, who was at his side, was collateral victim of the papal protocol rear.

Only a few people have enjoyed the called according to the vaticana- jargon "white privilege". This is, to appear before the pope with a tone so pious as His Holiness.And among them, Queen Letizia and its predecessor Dona Sofia . Other lucky ones also have blue blood, like Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Princess Charlene of Monaco Maria Teresa of Luxembourg.

Tells the story of misfortune Gazzetta dello Sport, a few days before had collected, in an interview with former player, the illusion that was to go to the Vatican. "I will be received by the Pope, with whom I'm sure you end up talking mostly about football. I wear a Brazil shirt, but do not be offended, no?" He wondered.

A Ronaldo was left with no choice but to take back the amarella to 9 and finally no option for offenses. At least by Francisco. Just three weeks earlier, the pope himself who had received Ronaldinho, who appeared in a much less ceremonial form. With the Gaúcho style hat, shirt hanging out and open up to the front buttons, which hung sunglasses. Informal and also white.

Shortly apostle protocol as it really Bergoglio, with former Barca free to embarrass him was taken. "Was it or not water?" He blurted Francisco, referring to an Argentine mysterious drum kit man gave Branco, who suspected to have been drugged during the World Cup in Italy 90. "No, it was not , " joked Ronaldinho . And reaction time, he again approached the pontiff: "Who is better, Pele or Maradona?". Given what this time Ronaldinho remained unanswered.

Dorsey switches to Barcelona

Xavi Pascual half - life is spent in an attic. It is decorated with dozens of photos with titles won in his years as coach of Barcelona. Before descending the narrow staircase leading to the track Palau, often look askance snapshots. And it does, perhaps aware that sooner or later, despite the successes pasts, it's time to leave his small temple. At the moment, still he is wringing his head to correct those infinite systems that players saved as they can. And assuming resists, and also claiming that he, and he alone, will be the designated -and despedido- if the season ends again white .

Unpredictable by nature, Barcelona, ​​after leaving derided in the last Copa del Rey, after seeing how Gustavo Ayon - rejected in Palau- just as MVP, changed its face against Olympiakos. And if he did was radically not only by the tremendous eruption of Dorsey (12 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and three assists) , the great success in the outside shot or the involvement of new defensive players. He also had something to do Xavi Pascual, who rescued for the cause Perperoglou and toyed four. And the Greek forward, in addition to sustaining Printezis, traditional whip, finished as top scorer of the match (16 points, the same as Hackett).

While looking arguments put Barca metamorphosis, few as resounding as the oneproposed by Dorsey. The same thing, just after winning the league fled to the NBA, where he returned to Europe with more pain than glory. Former Galatasaray winger, although it was two weeks without competing with its endless biceps dragged to a club that begins to look with new eyes its future in the Euroleague. With 4-4 forward also to Olympiakos who snatched the average of the first leg (+12), shares the fourth place with his next opponent, Khimki . Real Madrid, who won in the first round and must still play at the Palau, is one win away.

The day had not started well, with Abrines in the newly operated hospital for acute appendicitis . Olympiakos, who started walking freely through the Barca area with Spanoulis scoring three consecutive trays (3-10 min. 5) was removed from the track just in time Dorsey replaced Tomic. The Greeks, with the stunning view of the US, are vision blurred, both in attack and defense. Doellman not even matter that go unnoticed to see three fouls in the seventh minute (he closed the evening with valuation -8). Or that Tomic scored his first basket 23 minutes.

Passed a first quarter that Barca ended with a two plus one of Samuels, Barca began to fly before a melted Olympiakos that badly. Spanoulis was immortalized in the bank, and Pascual, this time astillarlos clenched teeth until they held on average as there's no tomorrow. Another world.
