Ronaldinho is relishing his return to the Brazil team for tonight's friendly against Argentina in Doha.
The AC Milan forward has been absent from the national team for 19 months, falling out of favour and missing the World Cup. He hopes to have done enough this week to win a place in coach Mano Menezes' starting line-up, having not appeared for his country since April 1, 2009, when Brazil claimed a 3-0 World Cup qualifying win over Peru.
The former Barcelona player said: "This is a very different moment for all that has happened, for not having played the World Cup.
"When I was taken out, it was a sad moment. Now, the happiness has been doubled if I compare it with the first time."
He returns for the clash at the Khalifa International Stadium as one of the most experienced men in the squad.
