Brazil Coach Mano Menezes Recalls Ronaldinho For Friendly Against ArgentinaBrazil coach Mano Menezes has handed a surprise recall to Milan playmaker Ronaldinho, as he announced his 23-man squad for the friendly against Argentina next month.
The former Barcelona star last featured for the Selecao in April 2009 in a World Cup qualifying match against Peru, and afterwards was frozen out by then-coach Dunga, who opted not to select him in the World Cup squad bound for South Africa.
However, the 30-year-old has been handed the opportunity to add to his 87 caps for his nation by Menezes, alongside club team-mates Robinho and Alexandre Pato.
In an experimental selection by the Gremio and Corinthians boss, Manchester United youngster Rafael earns a call-up, as does Tottenham Hotspur's Sandro.
The squad list in full for the friendly versus Argentina on November 17:
Goalkeepers: Victor (Gremio) Jeferson (Botafogo), Neto (Atletico-PR)
Defenders: Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Rafael (Manchester United), Adriano Correa (Barcelona), Andre Santos (Fenerbahce), Thiago Silva (Milan), David Luiz (Benfica)
Alex Costa (Chelsea), Rever (Atletico-MG)
Midfielders: Lucas (Liverpool), Ramires (Chelsea), Sandro (Tottenham), Jucilei (Corinthians), Douglas (Gremio), Philippe Coutinho (Inter), Ronaldinho Gaucho (Milan), Elias (Corinthians)
Forwards: Robinho (Milan), Alexandre Pato (Milan), Andre (Dinamo Kiev), Neymar (Santos)

這位前巴塞隆拿球員上次代表巴西隊出戰，已經要數到2009年四月舉行的世界盃，面對之對手是秘魯，之後他便一直被當時的領隊鄧加打進冷宮，甚至在南非世界盃，他亦沒有份入選。
然而，新任領隊文尼沙斯卻給予現年已30歲的細哨機會，讓他可以獲得第87頂國家際喼帽，與隊友羅賓奴及柏圖一起入選。
除了細哨之外，文尼沙斯亦挑選了一些新球員，希望以試驗性質來面對這場友誼賽，當中包括曼聯的年青後衛拉菲爾達施華，還有熱刺的前鋒辛度雲尼亞里。
在11月17日舉行巴西對阿根廷的友誼賽，巴西的入選名單如下：
門將：域陀李安度（甘美奧）、謝法臣奧利華拉（保地花高）、尼圖（帕拉尼恩斯）
後衛：丹尼爾（巴塞隆拿）、拉菲爾達施華（曼聯）、艾迪安奴（巴塞隆拿）、安迪山度士（費倫巴治）、堤亞高施華（AC米蘭）、大衛雷斯（賓菲加）、阿歷士（車路士）、利華漢拔圖（明尼路）
中場：盧卡斯利華（利物浦）、拉美利斯（車路士）、辛度雲尼亞里（熱刺）、祖斯利（哥連泰斯）、杜格拉斯山度士（甘美奧）、古天奴（國際米蘭）、朗拿甸奴（AC米蘭）、伊利亞斯文迪斯（哥連泰斯）
