"Romeo" Ronaldinho and "Juliet" Johanna Almgren - An Olympic Love Story?
Thursday, 28 August 08, 08:20 PM
I'm not going to do like other websites that write scandalous headlines to force the readers to believe in something that was not quite like that.
But the question is; did Ronaldinho ask the Swedish footballer Johana Almgren to marry him?
"Romeonaldinho & Julihana Almgren"
I'm in the process of investigating the truth. I'm trying to get in touch with Ronaldinho's representatives or himself and also Johana in Sweden.
The fact is:
Swedish journalist Magnus PJ Larsson tells on his article for the online version on Swedish newspaper Borås Tidning, once the Brazilian Team arrived in the same hotel where the Swedish Women's Team was in Beijing, Johanna and some other players ran to the lobby to take pictures and get autographs. Once Ronaldinho set eyes on the Swedish beauty he moved past all the Chinese fans, got down on his knees and kissed her hand. "I was about to faint", revealed Johanna.
Later on he had one of his teammates invite Johanna up to his room. She gather a couple of her teammates, grabbed her camera and went there.

Alexandre Pato guided them to the room and they had a great gestures conversation. (Ronaldinho barely speaks English and Johana's Spanish and Portuguese skills are almost zero). At a certain point Ronaldinho started talking to one of his buddies and the translation came fast "He is asking if you would like to marry him?" Johanna's answer was also pretty fast: "No". The primary reason was that Johanna has a boyfriend in Sweden. A lucky guy called Adam Reggiani.
Ronaldinho wanted to exchange shirts and Johanna promptly got him a Swedish one but he promised to get her a Brazil shirt the next day. It didn't happen. When she showed up next morning to get her prize the "Brazilian Romeo" was sleeping. "I didn't dare to wake him up", explains Joahnna.
She still wants the shirt and I bet they exchange phone numbers so Ronaldinho might still have a chance of a second meeting.
What we don't know is if Ronaldinho's words were exactly "MARRY ME" or if something was lost in translation. That's why I'm investigating with some people I know at AC Milan to get Ronaldinho's version of this story.
Ronaldinho's personal life has for most of his career been discreet. Not everybody knows that he has a son named João who is probably 3 or 4 years old now.

and his son João
His name and face are not always on the papers next to a hot model (or ugly transvestite) like the other Ronaldo. That's why this Olympic flirt has hit the papers intensively and that's why I want to go deeper and find out how interested the Brazilian star is in the Swedish beauty Johanna Almgren.

So I'll follow up on this story and let's see if it will have a happy soap-opera ending or a greek tragedy one. Hahahaha...

- ridiculous...
..so the "facts" are that you found an article from nowhere (borås/sweden) and from that you want to investigate "IF" ronaldinho realy asked her to marry him...
..who cares "if" he asked her to marry him - what intrigues me is what happened in his room 
if johanna left the room "topless" after giving away her shirt 
and/or what she did or didn't do with messi/gago later...
@flagha: So you're only interested to know "IF" she took her top off and if they had sex, right? The answer is NO. I got in touch with Johanna's representative in Sweden and he assured me she went to the room with a couple of her teammates and there were some other players in Ronaldinho's room all the time as well. They tried to talk. She gave him a Sweden shirt, took pictures and went back to her floor. Sorry, I also wanted to hear something juicier happened but apparently no. I'm still waiting to get an answer from Ronaldinho's part.
ManoGil: you're on to something 
that's exactly what I want to know .. I personally haven't been in touch with any representatives of the "swedish olympic team" of to day but I know what "CAN" happen when you are on a international mission .. I have some experience with the junior team of sweden .. let's say it is "exhaustive" to say less

Interesting article. I just wonder if she would dump her boyfriend for Ronaldinho. I'm confident she would dump him for me.
