Only a few quotes from him but he sounds like a really down to earth guy.
Absolutely not convinced about not learning any swear words from our other players though, some proper potty mouths in that lot!

He misses seeing the sun.... Yeah no shit, me too.

"There are not a huge number of Brazilian players playing in Europe,” Ronald said."

Bollox, there are 100s of them, including in effing Iceland! He should be grateful that he's moved to somewhere sub-tropical.

Yup, looks like several hundred just in Portugal alone but that'll be down to the common language and not surprised by the number in other top European leagues in England, Germany, France, Spain & Italy but amazed at how many Brazilians play in places like Albania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Thailand & Cyprus! Ronald definitely a bit wide of the mark with his "not a huge number" comment!
