Rio de Janeiro: Brazil great Zico says Ronaldo insisted on playing in the 1998 World Cup final and the team doctor inexplicably reversed his decision to bar the player hours after he was hospitalised with convulsions. Zico, who was technical coordinator of the ’98 team, said Dr. Lidio Toledo was responsible for letting Ronaldo play in the final which Brazil lost to host France. “We held a meeting in the afternoon and Dr. Lidio said Ronaldo wasn’t in condition to play,” Zico said in a televised interview on Monday. “When I got to the locker room, Ronaldo was standing there in game shorts (and) socks, told Lidio that he had played the entire Cup, exams hadn’t proven anything, and he was going to play. “In a case like this, only one person could veto the player: The doctor. There was no command,” Zico said. — AP
