Change has come December,17,2008, when Ronaldo came definetively to Brazil and signed a one-year contract with Corinthians, one of the Brazilian greatest football teams. Sport Club Corinthians Paulista is known as "Timão" (Big Team) and is considered as a "religion", because of strong love for the team. Althought this important contract, some people didn't trust Ronaldo's return, including journalists and specialists.
Ronaldo's restart career happened in great style.He got several goals on Paulista's Soccer Championship, the most important Brazil regional championship.With 10 goals on 14 games, Ronaldo won Paulista Championship and has been adopted by Corinthians fans and fans of another teams. Ronaldo's revival give him the right of dream about his return to Brazilian National Football Selection, publicity contracts and the conquest of lost prestige in football world. But it's possible that Ronaldo stops his career after conclusion of his contract with Corinthians, as said to Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo in a interview on May, 15, 2009.
The strongest simbol of Ronaldo's revival took place on a meeting between Ronaldo and President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva last May,12,2009. President Lula and Ronaldo quarreled in World Cup 2006 when Lula asked Coach Parrreira if Ronaldo wasn't "chubby a little bit". Ronaldo paid back to Lula and said that Brazil's President "drank a lot". Now they are friends again and Corinthians -"mega-fan" Lula got a shirt and a ball autographed by Ronaldo "Phenomenon". Both of them are good examples of determination - both have struggled against difficulties to get a good place on Brazilian society, society that is yet unfair to its compounders some times.
