BRASILIA -- The physical trainer of the Brazilian national soccer team, Paulo Paixao, has been assigned with the task of helping Ronaldinho get in shape for August's Olympics.

Brazilian Confederation of Soccer president Ricardo Teixeira took the decision on Sunday to add Ronaldinho to the Olympic team, and it came as a surprise to head coach Dunga, who had not been counting on the forward's presence on the Olympic team.

Paixao is expected to meet personally with Ronaldinho on Sunday in the city of Porto Alegre in order to schedule their workouts.
