Ronaldo wants Brazilian football to be cleaned up:-

Ronaldo, who retired from playing in 2011, said the arrest of former Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) boss Jose Maria Marin and the criticism of his successor Marco Polo Del Nero had damaged the reputation of football in the only country to win the World Cup five times.Marin is currently under house arrest in New York as part of the FIFA corruption probe in May, and Del Nero has come under scrutiny in the months since.On the field, the Brazilian national side were knocked out of the Copa America at the quarter-final stage last June, and have seven points from their first four 2018 World Cup qualifiers.Ronaldo, 39, said: "Results don't come in a tumultuous atmosphere. It's a very tough time for Brazilian football, both administratively and in terms of talent. We have had a difficult time finding talent. The players appeared much more 
frequently in the past.
"The management of a club or a federation has to be professional, it has to be transparent. A serious institution cannot be involved in fraud or acts of corruption. That is the first step to cleaning up Brazilian football, putting in quality people and demanding that they are transparent.
"I think he (Del Nero) should leave. He has avoided going to games and it appears he is hiding from something."
Del Nero has refused to leave Brazil since May when the FIFA corruption crisis begun.
