Chapecoense have said they are not looking to sign established names like Ronaldinho , as the club begins rebuilding following the air disaster that killed 19 of its players .
Football legends from all over the world including two- time FIFA World Player of the Year, Ronaldinho , Argentina ’ s Juan Roman Riquelme and former Chelsea striker , Eidur Gudejohnsen, have all offered to play for the Brazilian team .
Although Chapecoense president , Ivan Tozzo , says he appreciates their gestures, he
revealed that they plan to find young players .
“ We are ruling out bringing established or famous players because we never had footballers who fit that profile within our institution , ” he told Marca .
“ Also, everyone knows we are of modest means and we don ’ t have the resources to pay large fortunes like other big clubs can.
“ We will probably go after young professionals in the second division or those who were not chosen by first division clubs . ”
