He's the most skilfull and techinically gifted player ever. Unfortunately, that alone isn't enough to be the greatest player ever. You also need discipline and focus, and Ronaldinho didn't take football serious enough. The insane amount of news that popped here in Brazil about him being at nightclubs during his carreer is mind blowing. He was partying every week almost lol.
Ronaldinho is respected by everyone, literally. Messi was gifted with god given raw talent. Cristiano is the definition of hard work and discipline. Ronaldinho is embodiment of football. His abilities were never seen before and still have yet to be replicated the way he played. The best quote that can describe him in football: “Football can make anyone smile, but only Ronaldinho can make the football smile.”
Ronaldinho won all possible titles before the age of 25, something that Messi only achieved at 36, he simply did not have the mindset of wanting to win the same thing every year, as is the case with Messi and CR7. Perhaps if Barça lost the Champions League in 2006 he would find the motivation to continue at a high level for a few more years, success has defeated him.
Since you're american I'll tell a story you'll find very interesting! Kobe Bryant and Ronaldinho were friends and Kobe was into football(and could speak spanish). One day dinho took Kobe to his clubs training ground in Barcelona and when they were there Ronaldinho said; ''Let me show you the best player in the world''. Kobe was confused by this and said; ''But you are the best player in the world?''. Then Ronaldinho showed him Lionel Messi, who was 17 at the time. There is an interview out there where Kobe tells the story!
Your story doesn’t make sense tho ,messi at 17 was not the best player in the world ,so he probably said let me show you the future best player in the world .
Ronaldinho is considered the most skilled player in history by many . conquered many important titles in its peak that unfortunately lasted only a short time. He does not have a career like that of Cristiano and Messi. But at its peak it was the best the world saw with the ball at its feet. his charismatic and Brazilian way enchanted the world. Because Brazil is considered the country of football. It inspired players, it won everything a player can win. made history in the selection where he won a World Cup (most important football championship). He's a legend. The Maker of Magic a brazillian dance style player with insane skill Assisted Mentored Messi and passed on the torch
I loved football and Barcelona because of Ronaldinho. I was very lucky to watch him play in his prime for Barcelona. Watching him play was pure entertainment. He’s a legend. ♥️💙👑
Ronaldinho was one of the finest players to come out of Brazil's golden years, whats really amazing watching him, is that the team players all, know exactly where to be, Barcelona in its hey day was one of the finest TEAM's ever. They all played for each other, to underline that, Messi gave his 300th goal to a team player. Barcelona still one of my favourite teams. Their Trophy Hall is something else.
Ronaldinho was one of the most charismatic players to ever play football. He had the drive of an NFL tailback with the fluidity of ballet, the quickness of a point guard with a wide receiver hustle. All this with the ball at his feet, chest, shoulders, and head and with skills few, if any, could match. His football was pure samba. I wouldn't be surprised at all that when Messi thinks of his friend Ronaldinho, Leo is thrilled thrilled he got to play with Ronaldinho Gaúcho. Love your reaction. Happy to sub.
to me he is the best ever, the more spectacular and magic. And he won everything you can win in just a few year, his carreer was short...Messi took almost 20 years to winb a world championship, Ronaldinho in 10 years did everything, and the things he did with a ball on his feet no one has
word i heard a story of Kobe where he said that Ronaldinho introduced him to Messi and said that hes going to be the best football player ever, a long time ago. shits crazy
Great to see people out of the futbol (football - soccer) circle watching players in this sport of this calibre. Ronaldinho is arguably the most creative, spontaneous and energetic football player ever. Messi is really good but very different to Ronaldinho. R was a fantastic example of Latin American and Brazilian football ever. Those days sadly are gone. Be grateful that we have footage like this to inspire future young footballers. Enjoy and thank you for the video. PS: the ball passed between the legs in English is generally called a 'nutmeg' but there are many other terms in different countries, 'panna' is also common, 'tunel' for the Hispanics, etc.
Yes he played with Messi and was his Mentor. When a player put ball through another player legs is called a Nutmeg. You check out one of Ronaldinho Idols Diego Maradona aka D10s ( God)
Ronaldinho was the best player in the world from 2002 to 2006, without a doubt. React to Diego Maradona. His game was a mix between Messi and Ronaldinho.
it makes me so happy to see other people find out about Ronaldinho and he's geniality.. the dude literally made football fun to watch playing freestyle football on a regular pitch just having fun smiling and even dancing on the pitch against Chelsea before he scored. for me Messi is the goat cant deny the stats. but ronaldinho is football its was just fun watching him play
They call Ronaldinho (or Dinho for short) the best entertainer. He just loved to have fun, and he made people watching him play have fun. At his height of his powers he was the best player in the world at the time. He unfortunately also loved to party and didn't like to train, so his peak years were few. But in terms of innate talent, he was on par with Messi and Maradona. He just wasn't willing to sacrifice as much to WIN. Regardless, he was BELOVED BY EVERYONE, and brought so many fans to football through the entertainment he gave everybody. He is also a wonderful human being who loved everybody. He was the first to take Messi under his wing and are still wonderful friends.
Ronaldinho was Messi's mentor in Barcelona. When he retired he gave Messi the #10 legacy because he already knew Messi at 17 years old was going to become the GOAT that we know today.
the least hated man in football, Ronaldinho, the montor, friend, and the one, that helped Messi, score his first goal, for Barcelona, AND gave his nr 10 shirt to Messi, when he stopped playing, as a "u are taking the torch" gesture... we will most likely never see, a player like him again, with a love for football, like like he had, just too bad, his prime didnt last, as long as we all wanted... ♥
I was waiting for this reaction no fucking way just saw zlatan like 5 hours ago damn ❤️🙏 Fun Fact - Ronaldinho assist messi on his first goal after that a LEGEND was born
Ronaldinho is messi and ronaldo combined... it's just he wasn't as disciplined as them but talent wise he is definitely better. he's just there to enjoy ...he just like to play with the ball
to do what Ronaldino did is almost unbelievable, to do it at the pace he did is impossible for a normal human being, you need to be some kind of super human
Not the best video of him but could've been worse "Ronaldinho football's greatest entertainment" is a much much better video that really shows his game
07:56 to the untrained eye this goal probably does not look that impressive but it's probably the hardest goal to score in the entire compilation (if not ,for sure top 3) The difficulty of that, is INSANE!!! To pull off that chip whilst dribbling from that distance (its too close really) to beat a Keeper near post with a close range chip, the keeper should be able to cover that area but is not expecting him to aim there because the difficulty is so high. If some is going to chip you at that range they will usually go far post just because its further and therefore easier to make the ball do what you need to do. F*cking no one tries to chip a Keeper near post, not sure even Messi has tried that....Ronaldinho has...and made it and did it like he was pissing about on a beach with his friends. Anyone who has played a bit and has at least some skill will understand just how insane that goal is
We need another reaction of another brasilian player Ronaldo El fenomeno .the original ronaldo the real one,,,,video “ Ronaldo living legend “ is amazing pls
