FC Barcelona star Ronaldinho has praised new boy Eidur Gudjohnsen after the two forwards have played well together in Barcelona's pre-season tour of Mexico and United States. Although, the Brazilian international Ronaldinho has been used by Barca coach Frank Rijkaard on a few part-time occassions after reporting back for training following his appearance at the World Cup in Germany, the pair has shown that they link up very well together. Ronnie assistet twice when Gudjohnsen scored the first two goals in a Barca Shirt and said:

We scarcely know each other, but he is a player that always chooses the best position and is very intelligent. I have a feeling that we are going to have great fun together this season.

But the former Chelsea forward Gudjohnsen returned the compliments to the FIFA World Player of the year Ronaldinho:

He is the type of player that makes the whole team play better. If I make good runs, I know that the ball will always arrive at my feet.
