Fit-again star desperate to be in China

Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho insists he will be at the Olympics in Beijing, against Barcelona's wishes. The 28-year-old has been called into the Brazil squad for the football tournament at the Games, which runs from August 6-23. "I see myself in the Olympics doing good things and bringing home the gold medal," Ronaldinho said. Barcelona are open to offers for Ronaldinho, who last played for them in March before a knee injury cut short his season. However, they have yet to conclude a deal with either Milan or Manchester City, and are adamant the player should report for training with them rather than travel to China.
