Soccer: Ronaldinho insists he would not be interested in joining Chelsea claiming their style of play would not entice him to Stamford Bridge.

The Barcelona forward, who has been linked with a move to the London club for some time, told the News of the World: "I know Chelsea want to sign me but they are a team I don't want to play for."

The Brazil star claims the Blues' physical approach to their Champions League first-leg clash would lead him to shun any move to west London.

"The first leg showed me their style does not interest me. Every time I had possession they went to kick my feet first before trying to get the ball.

"I've been feeling the pain from those kicks from Chelsea and had to pull out of Brazil's friendly because of it. That kind of game isn't for me and rather than ever play like that I'd say 'no thank you'."

Instead Ronaldinho would welcome Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard to the Nou Camp - along with Thierry Henry whose Arsenal future is uncertain.

"Everybody here is talking about Lampard and Thierry Henry joining. If it was down to me I would buy them both."
