Ronaldinho has named Celtic's Japanese star Shunsuke Nakamura as a contender for the FIFPro World Player of the Year 2007 crown.

Barcelona star Ronaldinho said: "Nakamura is a player I know very well. I have played against him at many big events such as the Olympics and in the Confederation Cup so I have always followed his career. He used to have a great partnership with Hidetoshi Nakata and I like them a lot. They have great quality."

ロナウジーニョが中村をライバル視。ほんまにこんなことをいったんかね。オリンピックで対戦したことを憶えてるとは。
