Security must be lax at the Brazil training camp in Weggis, Switzerland. Determined blonde Sheila Soares managed to get on the field and give Ronaldinho a big hug. Here's what Sheila had to say about the incident:

"I said that I love him, I'm crazy about him. Even after being taken by the police, I don't regret anything and I would do it again ... I didn't pay any bail fine. The only problem is that my son called me 'crazy' but I said to him that I am 'happy' because I realized a dream." (translated from the original Portuguese)

Here's Ronaldinho's carefully worded take on the incident:

"Each person manifests their caring in a different manner, sometimes they get carried away and end up doing things like that, but it is important to be able to finish the practice without disturbances".
