Rio de Janeiro: Former Manchester City and Brazil striker Jo has revealed he has given up alcohol in an attempt to kick-start his stalled football career.
The 29-year-old on Saturday said he had distanced himself from some old friends, including two-time FIFA World Player of the Year winner Ronaldinho, as he focuses on his family and football, reports Xinhua.
"We drifted apart. We haven't spoken for a long time," Jo said of his relation with Ronaldinho in an interview with TV Record.
"Some friends are no longer in touch because of the fact that I have changed my lifestyle. Alcohol leads to self-destruction."
Jo is on the verge of returning to his original club Corinthians after leaving Chinese Super League outfit Jiangsu Suning in July. "We just need to finalise some minor details. I'm excited about returning to Corinthians after 11 years," he added.
