Brazil football lcon, Ronaldinho has faulted Jay- Jay Okocha’s decision to join Bolton Wanderers in the English Premier League years back.
Ronaldinho noted that Okocha “wasted his talent” by joining Bolton Wanderers.
Recall that Okocha moved to the English club in 2002 from Paris Saint-Germain.
Ronaldinho played at PSG from 2001 to 2003 and regarded Okocha as his idol.
According to quotes from Frank KhalidUK, Ronaldinho believes the Nigerian legend would have received more recognition if he went to Italy, or Spain instead of England.
“I didn’t like the decision, at least in Italy or Spain, there, they allow you to play your skilled football without interfering with your play.
“In LaLiga or Serie A, he would definitely get a chance to play for a big team, because they love skilled players over there.
“In England, you stand no chance of playing for a big team if you’re that skilled. They think it’s not necessary.”
