�Student Weekly� scores with Ronaldinho

What happens when you pair the world�s best football player with one of the world�s best cartoonists? You get the world�s hottest new comic strip, of course.

Every week, Ronaldinho Gaucho�s Team chronicles the exciting childhood adventures of Ronaldinho and his gang of friends.

Now, for the very first time, you can follow the adventures here in Thailand. Student Weekly has inked an exclusive deal that will bring Ronaldinho to life every week on our website at http://www.student-weekly.com.

In order to kick things off, here�s a look at the people you�ll meet in Ronaldinho Gaucho�s Team.

Ronaldinho Gaucho

Ronaldinho is an easygoing, cheerful kid who manages to attract attention and admiration from everyone because of his magic while playing football. He likes samba, funk and rap. When Ronaldinho isn�t playing football, he�s studying, singing or playing video games with his friends.

Daisy

She is the middle sister who�s always watching over Ronaldinho like a guardian angel. She knows her brother so well that she can tell when he is hiding something or is up to one of his tricks. Daisy is feisty and clever.

Fireball

Fireball is a big dog who belongs to Ronaldinho. Fireball is a clumsy but totally lovable dog and has a heart proportional to his size � huge! Fireball will do anything to stay close to his owner.

Asis

Ronaldinho�s big brother is also his idol and best friend. They play football together, trading tips, tactics and passes, and creating moves to use during the next game. And when they work together, they always win.

Diego

Ronaldinho�s No. 1 fan. He is always glued to our hero, following him everywhere. He wants to learn all the moves that Ronaldinho makes with the ball and even imitates the way he dresses and celebrates his goals. Diego is 5 years old and the smallest boy on the team.

Ms Miguelina (mother)

She is a good-humoured, affectionate and protective mother, always trying to find a balance between reason and heart. A wise lady, she has solid advice for everyone.

Champ

Champ is a short-haired, greyish small mutt, who is very clever and playful. Champ is Asis� little pet but is much more attached to Ronaldinho and thinks he is his real owner. Because of this, he never obeys Asis� commands, which makes Asis very upset.
