Fans of struggling Brazilian club Corinthians have protested against Ronaldo's lack of fitness.
About 200 fans attended the team's training session on Saturday to complain about Ronaldo, who is the team's most expensive player but has played in only three Brazilian league matches because of his poor physical condition.
Fans chanted: ''Ronaldo, let's play, Corinthians is not your spa!''
On his Twitter page, Ronaldo said the protest doesn't help the club and called for more ''respect.''

Corinthians hasn't won in six matches and entered the weekend third in the standings. It is five points behind leader Cruzeiro with nine rounds remaining.
The club is without a coach since Adilson Batista quit after a defeat last Sunday.
