Ronaldo ponders retirement

AP, Paris
Three-time FIFA player of the year Ronaldo is unsure whether he will be able to continue playing after ruptur-
ing a tendon in his left knee.
"Physically it will be difficult and mentally it will be very difficult," Ronaldo said Friday, as he left the Pitie-Salpetriere hospital in Paris after surgery a week ago.
The hospital has said the operation went well but that it was too early
to say whether the 31-year-old Brazilian striker would return to the field.
“I haw not decided what should be done," Ronaldo said. “My will is to keep on playing. My heart tells me this, but my body is showing me signs that it’s tired, that it is asking for rest"
Ronaldo was injured in AC Milan's 1 -1 draw with Livorno in the Serie A last week.
The top-scorer in World Cup history with 15 goals for Brazil, Ronaldo had a successful two-hour operation at the end of last week and followed that with eight days of physical therapy.
More treatment will follow in a specialized centre, but Ronaldo will not be able to play again for at least eight or nine months.
“If. at the end. I am back in shape physically and I can play, so much the better,” Ronaldo said. “Otherwise, it will be a difficult decision to take, but that will be the decision.”
He has played only sporadically since joining Milan a little more than a year ago, but his scoring rate of nine Serie A goals in 16 starts showed that when fithe had lost none of razor-sharp finishing.
Ronaldo scored twice in a 5-2 win over Naples on Jan. 13, where his instinctive understanding with 18-year-old Brazilian Alexandre Pato had Milan fans dreaming of things to come.
He lost his place in the Brazil team after the 2006 World Cup, but still managed three goals during the competition to increase his international total to 61 in 97 games.
Ronaldo has battled serious injuries throughout his career, and already had a career threatening right-knee injury when playing for Inter Milan eight years ago. He missed the following season, but came back strongly at the 2002 World Cup, guiding Brazil to its fifth title with eight goals, including two in the final against Germany.
