Ronaldo's hotel room topped that of team
mate Ronaldinho's in an online auction, fetching 1,010 Swiss francs
($825.8) for a one-night stay in the room of Brazil's leading striker
after the team's stay in Switzerland.
"I was surprised that Ronaldo came out on top," said assistant manager
Philipp Musshafen at the Park Hotel in Weggis, which launched the eBay
auction.
The Brazilian team set up camp at the luxury hotel at the foot of the
Swiss Alps last week to train for the World Cup in neighbouring Germany
next month.
Ronaldinho's hotel room fetched 850 francs. In total the five rooms
auctioned, including those of Kaka, Adriano and Roberto Carlos, reaped
3,200 francs.
"We will donate the amount to a Brazilian institution," Park Hotel's
Musshafen said.
The winners will spend the night of June 3 at the hotel, just hours
after the Brazilians move out at the end of their two-week stay.
They will also be given signed Brazilian football shirts. Normal rates
for the five rooms on offer range from 480 to 780 Swiss francs each. |
