 　　RIO DE JANEIRO, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Retired1 soccer star Ronaldo on Sunday revealed his aspirations2 of entering the world of politics and becoming the next president of the Brazilian Confederation of Soccer (CBF).

　　With the sudden and unexpected resignation of Ricardo Teixeira from the presidency3 of the CBF, Jose Maria Marin has stepped in. Marin recently traveled to represent the CBF in other South American countries, making Ronaldo the acting4 president in Brazil.
　　Ronaldo had an important role during a recent meeting between FIFA president Joseph Blatter and Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff. The event seems to have inspired Ronaldo to pursue a life in politics.
　　Ronaldo believes that just as talented as he was on the soccer field, so can he be in politics. Ronaldo currently serves as the president of Brazil's Local Organizing Committee for the 2014 World Cup.
　　The experience gained while helping5 to prepare to host the world's largest soccer event, something he promised to be "the best-ever", will serve as a platform for his forecasted candidacy to become president of the CBF.
　　However, Ronaldo claims that he will only consider assuming the post in 2015, or sometime after the 2014 World Cup.
