The myth about Austin Jay-Jay Okocha teaching Ronaldinho some of his tricks appears to be true after all. In a tweet from 2017, Ronaldinho posted a picture of himself, the ex-Super Eagles captain and Colombian legend Carlos Valderrama, with the caption: “Only shirt 10 that I always admired.”
Ronaldinho was making references to the jersey number Okocha and Valderrama wore during their playing days in the national team.
