Star football player Ronaldinho is behind Bolsonaro

Brazilian footballer Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, better known as Ronaldinho, has rallied behind the right-wing presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro.

This 38-year-old football legend has 'retired' a photo on his site where he has seventeen on his shirt as a footballer. That is the number of Bolsonaro's party in the first round of the presidential election. In it, the former army officer won nearly half of the votes on Sunday. This despite the fact that he was seriously injured from the election campaign a month ago by an assassination attempt.

The decisive round is October 28. Bolsonaro then takes on Fernando Haddad from the leftist PT (Workers' Party). He received almost 30 percent of the votes.
