Since Ronaldinho has decided to return to Brazil, after Christmas there were media speculations about whether the Brazilian would report on time for the winter training. Fortunately, as a professional player, Ronaldinho still reported in Dubai via Sao Paulo with Silva and Pato. However, due to being caught up in the transfer rumors, Ronaldinho clearly lacked energy during the winter training. Italian Sky Sports revealed that Ronaldinho complained of stomach pain on the first day of winter training, and later he also mentioned muscle fatigue. On Thursday evening, Ronaldinho even left the AC Milan hotel without permission and did not return all night. According to reports from the official website of AC Milan, he did not participate in the routine practice on the morning of the 31st. Clearly, compared to the content of AC Milan's winter training preparation, he was more concerned about the negotiation results between De Assis and Galliani. In the afternoon of December 30th, the long-delayed negotiations between De Assis and Galliani finally took place in Rio de Janeiro. The "Milan Sports Daily" disclosed that the two parties eliminated the misunderstandings that had arisen before during the negotiations, laying the groundwork for Ronaldinho's departure. Subsequently, Italian Sky Television revealed that Ronaldinho might return to Brazil within the next few hours. However, the Brazilian did not leave Dubai on the evening of the same day. On December 31st, "Slow Lens" reported that Ronaldinho would return to Brazil on the first day of 2011.
