The triumph and tragedy of Ronaldinho’s brother’s playing career
When Ronaldinho collected his second consecutive FIFA World Player of the Year award in 2005, he had one person in particular on his mind.
“He’s my idol,” Ronaldinho said of his brother Roberto, more commonly known as Assis.
“He’s been through a lot and has helped me every step of the way. He has encouraged me never to stop trying.”
Fifteen years later, Ronaldinho and Assis were once again in the news, not regarding Ronaldinho’s ascent but rather his fall from grace.
As the former Barcelona superstar celebrated his 40th birthday, the brothers were behind bars in a Paraguayan prison after being arrested for the use of fake Paraguayan passports.
As Ronaldinho’s agent, manager and personal assistant, Assis’ seemingly wayward judgement has found itself under increasing scrutiny.
