Brazilian star Ronaldinho has denied reports he held a "mega party" prior to AC Milan's derby defeat to Inter Milan two weeks ago.
Reports emerged on Wednesday that the 29-year-old had been fined by the Rossoneri following allegations that he held a party in a hotel suite prior to the game that Milan lost 2-0, dealing a severe setback to their hopes of winning the Scudetto.
But writing on his official blog, the former Barcelona ace said those rumours simply aren't true.
He wrote: "I've been reading a few recent messages and have decided to get a few things off my chest and clarify things for all those accompanying me.
"Since yesterday, news has been circulating through media outlets that I had a 'mega party' the days prior to the Inter-Milan derby match and, even though it's true I was staying at a hotel in Milan, it is incorrect that I organised a party, with comments on the details of the supposed party even more incorrect.
"I've been working really hard the last few months, chasing after both my personal and professional goals.
"It seems unfair to me that the press use really old images of me and using the fact that I publicly admitted liking music to explain a bad result and create stories about me.
"I'm very involved with Milan's project and I'm working hard to provide my best, even though the results aren't always positive.
"These bits of news aren't going to affect my focus and I will continue working hard at playing great football."
