At SAN SIRO the rare bird was unveiled to the fan after the move from BARCELONA to the Italian club AC MILAN:
"I have always lived a regular life and I will continue like that. I am in good physical condition," he said.
"Every player dreams of playing for Milan. It is a special emotion and I hope to bring happiness to the fans."
Thousands of fans turned up at the stadium to welcome Ronaldinho to the club, with the San Siro nearly half full.
"I already feel at home here," he added, speaking in Portuguese.
"It was a beautiful period (at Barcelona), we won important trophies but after recent disappointments we decided together to go our separate ways.
"Here I can go back to being happy and to reaching new personal and team objectives."
Ronaldinho, who rejected a move to Manchester City, said he was particularly looking forward to playing alongside his Brazil team-mate Kaka at Milan.
"It will be exciting to play with Kaka. He is among the best in the world. He is also a friend and we play well together," he said.
According to the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport Milan will pay Barcelona just £14.6m for his services, with the figure likely to be increased by performance-related bonuses.
FOR SURE THAT AC MILAN HAS PAYED LESS THAN WHAT MAN CITY HAS OFFRED AS LITTLE AS £25.1M, THE MAN CITY COACH STILL DISAPPOINTED
