Flamengo have created a telephone hotline for disgruntled fans to report sightings of Ronaldinho partying.

The club wants supporters to dish the dirt if they see their wayward star out on the town. So they have set-up the brilliantly named ‘Disque-Dentuço’ (Dial-Toothy) telephone line to monitor the player’s party habits.

Club president Patricia Amorim said: “We always have concerns. We do not interfere in his personal life, but we have to worry, because we pay [him] a lot.”

The club has reportedly tasked five volunteers with monitoring the hotline and responding to reports of Ronaldinho’s whereabouts to check their validity.
