World idol and one of the protagonists of Libertadores 2013, the year Atlético won for the first (and only) time the most important club tournament in South America, former midfielder Ronaldinho Gaúcho has partnered with a sports equipment supplier that has gone from heaven to hell at alvinegro.
This Tuesday (11), the Canadian Dryworld announced that the ‘Wizard’ will sign a special collection for the World Cup in Qatar, which will take place next month. Offering a reduction voucher to the first interested parties, the brand also specifies that with each shirt purchased by customers, the chances of having an exclusive piece autographed by the star increase. The line will be released next Thursday (13).
Athletic and dry world
In early 2016, Atlético, in a honeymoon mood, announced the merger with Dryworld, in a contract that promises to be the biggest in the club’s history. However, what was a dream turned into a nightmare. Less than a year later, the club broke with the Canadian supplier and took him to court; in addition to poor logistics in the distribution of sporting goods, there were also delays in agreed payments.
At the time, the Canadian company used striker Robinho as a poster boy and, in agreement with Atlético, promised to fund part of the player’s wages.
