MILANO-On the day of his 24 th birthday Ronie talks about his future. " Myrecovery programme is going all right. I'm carefully sticking to Dr Saillant's programme and I make steady progress day by day. In the first week of October I'll go to Paris and then I'll start the second phase of the recovery programme in Beaverton, Oregon , Usa. There is a very good fitness centre there and a relaxed atmosphere. I feel comfortable in Rio, but now I feel like staying on my own for a while. In Oregon nobody knows me and they won't bother me" says the Phenomenon who is maybe referring to the recent Brazilian press rumors.
Ronie will be facing three months hard work before returning to Pinetina: "I agree with Dr Combi and Velasco.I'll only be back in Milan and start training with the team again by theend of January and I would like to be back playing in March. But I don'twant to make forecasts because that brings bad luck!".
