thirteen intense days to play four games with very few training sessions

Tigres of Monterrey (Mexico).
Ronaldinho has landed in Monterrey with good news for the club: he will
be able to play the first lef of the Spanish 'Supercopa' against Espanyol,

I preferred to put aside the players who are beginning to train",
the coach said.
