Why Are These Men Happy?













Their globe-trotting days are over for now. For Adriano, it's a return to his roots (after a stint with Inter Milan). For Ronaldo (from Inter's San Siro co-habitant AC Milan) -- the more heralded of the two -- it's an opportunity to wear THE SACRED MANTLE OF THE SCARLET AND BLACK. Just like Aldair, Bebeto, Brito, Casagrande, Denílson, Dida, Edílson, Edinho, Evaristo, Gérson, Gilmar Rinaldi, Jorginho, Júnior, Leonardo, Leandro, Romário, Sócrates, Zizinho, Zagallo and Zico who all wore the colors of the Mengao. Even Garrincha and Pelé did too for a time before they betrayed the faithful.

Flamengo is about a Brazilian football player's ambition and even an obsession. Never mind the World Cup but as long as it is the Campeonato Brasiliero Serie A then the world is all right.

And now, AC Milan has allowed the five-time Brazilian national champions to negotiate with striker Ronaldo over a possible move. It's about an enormous desire to change the course of his life.

TWO DAYS AFTER I POSTED THIS, ADRIANO WAS LOANED OUT INSTEAD TO BRASILIAN CLUB SAO PAOLO.
