体坛英语新闻：Romario supports Ronaldo's run for president of CBF

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 23 (Xinhua) -- Brazil soccer legend Romario declared on Friday that he has no intention of running for the president of the Brazilian Confederation of Soccer (CBF). However, the now congressman endorsed Ronaldo to command the future of Brazilian soccer.

Romario was highly critical of former CBF president Ricardo Teixeira and celebrated his departure from the organ by stating "a cancer has been removed". 

Still unsatisfied with the interim president Jose Maria Marin, Romario looks to Ronaldo to "save" soccer in Brazil.

According to Romario, Ronaldo would be the seriousness and respect back to Brazilian soccer. Additionally, Ronaldo's experience as president of Brazil's Local Organizing Committee for the 2014 World Cup will give him valuable experience for the future post of president of the CBF.

In regard to his candidacy, Ronaldo expressed that he does not intend on running for president of the CBF, but would accept the position if it were given to him.

Ronaldo is expected to receive the title after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
