Pretty Good

When Spanish football club Barcelona paid US$35 million for Ronaldinho last summer， they weren't buying a pretty face. “I am＿(51)＿，” admits the Brazilian superstar (超級明星)。 “But everyone has got a different kind of beauty. What I ＿(52)＿ have is charm.”

Indeed he has. His buck teeth (齙牙)， flowing hair， big smile， and of course his＿ (53)＿ skills are always eye-catching on the pitch.

While he may not have David Beckham's good looks， Ronaldinho has a ＿(61)＿ reputation off the pitch. At former club Paris Saint Germain， which sold him to Barcelona， he broke ＿(62) ＿rules by going out and enjoying the city's nightlife.

“Without doubt， Ronaldinho is the most ＿(63) ＿player I have ever come across，” says former PSG coach Luis Ferdandez.“ The main” ?。?64)＿ for any coach is that one player without discipline can hurt the 'whole team.“

But Ronaldinho doesn't think he has done anything wrong. “I am just a young person who enjoys ＿(65)＿，” he says.
