No complaints from Ronaldinho after starting on bench

STOCKHOLM, Oct 11 (Reuters) Brazil playmaker Ronaldinho said he had no complaints about starting on the bench for yesterday's 2-1 friendly win over Ecuador.

The Barcelona player sat out the first half in Stockholm as coach Dunga continued to experiment with his team.

Ronaldinho came on for the second half and twice hit the crossbar from free kicks as he attempted to score his first international goal since the Confederations Cup final against Argentina last year.

''It's complicated to watch the game from the bench but I know the coach wants to give everyone a chance and this is important,'' he told Brazilian television.

''Everybody has to be humble enough to sit on the bench.'' REUTERS DH RAI0444
