AC Milan midfielder Ronaldinho says he would like to retire by playing his last years of football in Brazil.

Having taken inspiration from Selecao teammate and Flamengo star Adriano, Ronaldinho would like to have a chance to win the golden key awarded at season's end.

"I have never had the possibility to win the Brazilian championship," the former Barcelona player told TV Globo as reported by La Gazzetta Dello Sport. "Seeing Adriano, who is a friend, become a champion with Flamengo has given me inspiration. This would mean that I would close my career with a golden key."

The playmaker also revealed his ambition to play in South Africa next year, and win another World Cup for the South American giants.

"It would be the realization of a dream for me," he said. "But I will avoid speaking about the subject, as it could put pressure on certain people. It is logical that I want to win another World Cup title for Brazil."
