Anderson was the next Ronaldinho, but then he spiraled out of control 

That goal for Gremio was absolutely incredible.

His first season at Utd was superb, his vision, passing, positioning was elite the expectation was high from then on but he never lived up to it.

Excellent video, it summarised his career pretty well. As a Grêmio fan i only add that he was never hated at Grêmio. When he went to Internacional it was just odd, his lack of fitness was well known in Brazil and, with his high salary, no one was expected to sign him. Also, to be fair, his substitution in the first half of that Libertadores game can also be applied to the high altitude of La Paz, Bolivia (around 3600m). Lastly, i think you could make an good video about Ronaldinho relationship with Grêmio, it was his youth club and he claims to be his favourite, but he is absolutely despised and hated by the club and its fans.

I saw him when holidaying in Porto. My mate who’s a big Porto fan said “watch out for this kid, he’s brilliant: only young, will probably only play 60 mins but he’s going to be awesome”. He was, and as a United fan I was really pleased when we bought him. I can’t believe how quickly and badly wrong it went.

I worked with Portuguese lads in the UK and they really believed Anderson was going to go on and a true United legend when he was signed...such a shame he like many others never reached his full potential

I have never watched a more elaborate voiceover of a documentary. This is awesome.

He took "the next Ronaldinho" label to the max. Even followed his path to go to the jail.

Will watch this with my dinner in the evening, thanks for making such amazing videos I've been subscribed for so many months. Incredible work, I'm so happy to see you grow.

Anderson was a baller first time i saw him for Brazil u17. He broke his leg before moving to United.. 2008 was unreal played a key role in the big games winning CL + PL + Golden Ball .. but i think the Knee Ligament finished him 2009.. only elite mentality comeback from such career ending injuries..

I was relatively new to football and uses to watch all the big games in the college TV during 2010-2014 time period ... Remember watching him play as a sub for utd.. Was at times impressed by his sudden moments of brilliance.. And later in completely forgot about his existence.. Thanks for bringing out his story..

I think you should expand your content to teams. For example, the rise of atletico Madrid, early 2000’s Valencia, Juventus after the match fixing scandal or others

All his rise started in 2005, with his decisive goal in the extra time at the epic match called "batalha dos aflitos" putting Grêmio back to the major league. Such a incredible play he performed undeniably crossing half field with the possession of the ball and dribbling the goalie.

That season an a half with Porto blew my mind. He was so dam good at such young age that i was absolutely sure he would become a mega star. Sadly some ahole from benfica broke his leg and we lost 6 months of spectacular play. The few games with Anderson and a young Quaresma on the pitch together were non stop fireworks.

Man I was watching this Anderson performance against Náutico. It's known in Brazil as "the Battle of the Aflitos" (name of the stadium). Everyone got crazy watching this match. It was s matter of subject by many sports shows for days over and over. Never something like that happened before. And a boy only 17 years old was the great hero.

Remember him in fc Porto, he had the talent to be the next deco even better. Remember when he came he bought a good car and he still didn't have age to get a licence car, he was so young and so mature for his age. When he went to Manchester he was the best player in fcporto, but then as the years went by, he practically disappeared from football. Whish him best

I remember the hype around him and Nani being dubbed the Scholes and Giggs replacements back in 07/08.

I remember the hype when he signed for United, very interested to see your take on it as your passion your in narration always makes the videos so watchable

That goal at his first club was 1 of the best goals I’ve ever seen 🙉😃💪🏿🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for updating I always was asking myself what happened to him 🙏🙏

Another weekend. Another classy video

WOW!!! I never knew any of this. Who knows what he could have been, if not for injuries and I am a liverpool fan. Good video

I wished his career went platinum, he was a joy to watch, too much vibes on and off the pitch... We called him T-Pain here in Nigeria because of his hair style

HE WAS NEVER THE NEXT RONALDINHO. NEVER

What's with Brazilian players and nightclub indiscipline?

i remember him too well. as a fan of blues Chelsea have always hated Man united,until Anderson came to Man united and played alongside Patrice Evra that's the first time i complimented Manches united.

talent without hardwork is nothing, this guy got everything Messi have

Love your videos!! Can you make one about El Shaarawy 😄

My memory must be deceiving me, but didn't Anderson play together with Quaresma? I swore I'd seen the two of them together in Porto!

Ronaldinho is one of those players who comes once in a lifetime, we must stop comparing him to average players.

Onde foi parar o Anderson🥶😱🤯 Deu cabo da vida dele.

I remember his first season at United & I was like ok we have quite a young player here but then with his injuries & inconsistencies he became a nuisance. It's so unfortunate to see how his career spiraled downwards starting in his 20s.

Second time asking for a video on SERGIO AGUERO

Poor guy Loved him as a player

You should do giovani dos santos , Mexican wonder kid , u17 world champion who beat Anderson Brazil . Came through la masía at Barcelona and was the next big thing. But his career didn’t turn out as expected

13:07 this happened because they were playing in Bolivia at a very high altitude, which is not common in Brazil, Portugal or the UK

Can you please do a video on Willian. He left Chelsea for Arsenal and then Chelsea won the Champions League the very same season. I think that would be interesting. Been feeling for him for years now since he doesn't have that trophy.

I was just listening to a podcast with a player that played with Anderson in Turkey and he told a very interesting story. Apparently he was rooming with Anderson, and one day Anderson said that he just made millions in crypto (showing him the balance on is phone) and he's going to quit football. True to his word, in the next training session he quit the club. So whether he was in or not on the scam is really the interesting point here.

This guy's story is like every Brazilian story ever. Always talented but lack discipline and motivation.

Thank you for your videos.

Still the best player i ever saw live in Dragão Stadium, he was absurd at Fc Porto

😭 Make a video about De Ligt 🔥🔥🔥

what a delight to watch him play at his peak, could have been one of the best of his generation, as a porto supporter i always had a soft spot for him and hopes that he'd end up coming back and get his shit together

the love I had for this player

This is heartbreaking 😭😭😢

I remember in the anderson(porto) vs arsenal match, fabregas and gilberto silva had to double mark him. Against cska moscow same group how 9 players had to mark him. Thought fergie misused him but the video made it more clear.

Life of Brazilian footballers is all same story 🙄

The next Ronaldinho no no no.. There will never be anyone like him again.. Stupidly good.

Mais um bom vídeo 👌

I pray for Anderson to get up again n become the man. Right now is like he struggling so bad financially too

Good video

I liked this lad just ashame alot of these talented youth end up on the wrongside of life after football.

Nobody ever said he was the next Ronaldinho

I'd love to see a video about Liverpool disgraced legend Stan Collymore

How do you get all these old videos? Well done

stray bullet still hitting Captain Maggy after so many years 😄😄😄

13 : 45 that was pretty cool tho 😂😂😂

What an absolute legend!!!

I like ur voice boss. Keep it up

I love these videos buy the narrators voice and cadence are tough to listen to

Nothing like Ronaldinho was never gonna be considered him and played a different position completely

I am fed up with the transfers man. Our board is worse than Ed Woodward and Matt Judge and how that’s even possible

I remember him cause of that clip with Ronaldo 😹

No one will be like Ronaldinho

I remember being astonished by his quality when he played for Porto, probably the best ball control with acceleration and speed combo I have ever seen and I had no doubt he was on the route to becoming one of the best all time. At my 20s I had already seen football with reasonably matured perception and impressive players like Figo, Rui Costa, Deco, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Roberto Carlos, early CR7 and Messi, and I was very excited about Anderson. If I recall correctly, he barely was at the starting eleven and was saved for later on in the matches, which looked to me a waste of his huge capacity to influence the attack. Suddenly he was sold after a few months and I was pissed my team would not retain such a diamond for a season or two. We were recovering from the void left from the departure of Deco (Barcelona) and his replacement Diego (Werder Bremen) and this to me was a blow. At the time I could not follow ManUtd much, so I never seen him play at the same quality again. When I noticed he was repositioned to a box-to-box I could not believe such offensive talent could be wasted this way and I was pissed at the coach for ruinning a player like this. I remember telling a brazilian student how good he was at Porto and how they were destroying his talent at the time. It is a shame he couldn't shine anymore.

Lol that harry reminder 😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They seem to have the same pattern: Adriano, Anderson, Ronaldinho

Clearly wasn’t the most professional player but injury’s got the best of him, had the potential to be up there with the best, his first league goal was class

I kinda think poverty in their young age has got something to do with the way some of these Brazilian stars turn out later in life, after the riches. Two other names come to mind; Ronaldinho and Robinho.

Well documented

Key takeaway don't let injury defeat u...fight

I think he and Denilson (the dribbler) were two great talents that just never truly used the potential they had

I really liked Anderson and I wanted to see him become a great player. This is very sad and bad

At his worst he was still better than the current squad we have as Man United.

Anderson was misused by sir Alex Ferguson at man United. Alex made him worse. Used him as a defensive midfielder sometimes, made him irregular, a substitute, he became inactive at man United than at Porto

Anderson, Carlos Alberto, Pato, Robinho and Adriano could have achieved more in their careers but partying ruined their careers, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Neymar also love parties but at least least their football career took off to another level

So we all gonna just ignore the thumbnail😂😂

Please make a video about Anthony martial❤

He was such a good player

It's time we stop letting our talented youths go down like this, too much talent have been wasted and this must stop.

The story of many incredible brazillian footballers.too sad.

Many are Called but a Few a Chosen

Not even close!!

Brazilian players are very talented but they hate to train hard and put in the extra work to set the bar

Damn. What a sad story

I can sense he's now making a video on Greenwood.

I remember being a little kid in the car in Porto with my stepfather and stopping so he crosses the road, my stepfather yelled - "Anderson! Glad you didnt go to Benfica, lets win the championship!" Was on of my favourite players growing up was so sad he was sold so quickly to Man Unt

Anderson and Carrick I really like them at united.

Damn I watched this guy in Man U

Do a video on Gabi the Atletico old Atletico captain

John terry missed bro🤣

Do Kerlon

It looks like there are almighty falls and then there is that of Anderson

I loved the player, he was really blessed but then, I'm disappointed! #GodblessNigeria

Anderson, if for some reason you ever read these comments, just know that Manchester loves you, you are a legend!

My guy

he didnt spiral out of control and he wasn't the next ronaldinho lol

From top to bottom

Do Owen Hargreaves

Ronaldinho gaucho number 1 for sure of all the time in football history

I like him so much
