Football fans are praising Haaland for tap-ins in super attacking Guardiola system but they seem to forgot what is real talent looks like. Ladies and gentleman, pre-injury Ronaldo Il Fenomeno.
Out of Haaland's 106 goals for Borussia and Man City, only 3 of them were scored from outside the box. Football is not all about scoring different types of goals, but how the one can be compared to Ronaldo, CR7, Messi and yet not to have at least a few solo goals or long shots? At the same time, young Ronaldo Phenomenon was able to score long shots, free kicks, solo goals. By the age of 22 the Brazilian scored 191 goals for his national team, Inter and Barcelona, won FIFA World Cup, 2 times become a FIFA player of the year and became the youngest Ballon d'Or winner (21 y/o) in the history. I find it ridiculous that some people dare to call Haaland the best young player ever when all he can offer is tap ins.
I don't think it's fair to compare Haaland to R9, CR7, or Messi because he's just a different player. Far more limited, and obviously light-years away in terms of technical ability, but fantastically efficient in his role: scoring goals.
I agree Mr Bundesteam, but the thing is that the sport is vastly different now than it even was when cr7 and messi were young, leg alone Ronaldo Nazario. I'm really impressed with Haaland and how mature his finishing and positioning are, but there's no doubt, that what Cr7, messi, and Nazario were doing at his age was far more entertaining and impressive.
Come back to Me when someone else scores as much as haaland does in this current era... Aim of the game is to put the ball in the back of the net... Not score the most spectacular fifa goals. Like saying messi and Ronaldo are frauds for scoring tap ins and penalties. If it was so easy to score tap ins why aren't all strikers able to score 15+ goals a season? Somehow it got degraded to 20 goals being golden ball worthy when the big boys are scoring 30-40+
Right bro Halland is lucky also good team he got Haaland only can shoot Haaland can't dribbling can't pass can't cross Haaland not a complete player But R9 another level
Jugador totalmente vertical. Determinante. Explosivo. Ninguno como este jugador . Y valiente este jugador si era de verdad no de mentiras que lo tocan y ya está en el suelo. Cómo Messi y Neymar
Perfect summary, has to be regarded as one of best of all time. This era also had the best Brazil in my opinion. Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos etc.
if you followed football closely you should know that Ronaldo was considered the best plyer in the world from 1996-1998, after the injuries he was not considered the best, around 1999 it was Rivaldo and then Zidane and Figo. Even in 2002 when Brazil won the world cup Rivaldo was considered the best player in Brazil and though Brazil won the world cup, Oliver Kahn won the gloden ball. So calling him the best ever is not accurate. Messi, Maradona and Zidane have a much stronger case for being the GOAT!
The few players that cannot be hated by anyone. He played for Barca, Real Madrid, Inter and AC Milan and people still loved him in those teams without any hate or remorse shown.
The acceleration is simply astonishing. His balance and protection of the ball makes him near impossible to stop. Add the nutmegs that had a devastating mental effect on the defenders. Absolutely the best center forward ever.
What acceleration and balance? It’s skills, skills and skills. I can see amazing skill moves. Acceleration means nothing. Walcott, Lennon, Wright Phillips were quick but they were rubbish. Because they have zero football skills.
@@thierryhenry674 yeah but add those skills in to a 6ft frame with blistering acceleration and pace Not only that, but Ronaldo was extremley fast with the ball, and would do skills whilst running at speed. He was on another level
@@thierryhenry674 it's not just skills mate, loads of skillful players that were no where on his level. It was a mixture, his explosiveness, speed, finishing, both feet, turns, his positioning, strength. He was a monster
Watch his legs and how he use his legs to dribble and strike.his style is very unique the way he touches the ball is pure art. how he sprints and moves his body using his legs and inclined angles that he makes with his knee is mindblowing.no wonder he got haunted by knee injuries.literally phenomenal.love from India limaaaa 🙏
Had very thick muscular legs. That also could've been a source of injuries. But I think that's why he was such a powerful runner and could ease defenders off the ball.
he said in a podcast that the main reason for the injury was that the coaches made him run for long hours, and this caused wear on his knees, in his opinion, he only needed to train the sprints to goal, not endurance
He was like a ravenous wolf on the pitch. The hunger that had for the ball was alarming. Just the perfect player. What skill, balance, speed, dribbling and shooting this man had. Truly the phenomenon!
He was something else, a one off, a once in a lifetime player, ran through defences like a ballistic missile. I’ve never been as excited to watch a player as I was him
when I was a young brazilian national team supporter, around 2006, I could swear Ronaldinho was the best player we had had for a while, when I watched the young ronaldo phenomenon videos for the first time I just couldn't believe there was a player like that... hadn't he injured that seriously at such a young age he would definitively be top 3 greatest players ever, if not the greatest...
Van Basten is the best nr 9 ever and he was playing from his 22 age with a bad enkle and forced to stop playing footbal when he was 28. In that time with Maradonna 3 time world player. When he was not forced to stop he should won that title more than Messi.
@@robsonfr-qv5yt lol , if u asked basten himself , he will say Ronaldo can't be compared to anyone, no player in football history can match R9 at his prime b4 knee injuries , I was watching football since decades , and I saw all there greats till now and I say I've never seen player like that young R9 b4 knee injuries , hw was like glitch that had to be corrected by injuries as I said
What’s also incredible about the phenomenon was not just his excellent skills but also his sheer brute strength and catapult pace he had prior to the injuries.
This guy not only scored goals, but created them on his own too.. never had to rely on other creative midfielders or others to make things easy for him
A goal is a goal, doesn’t matter how it’s scored. The bottom line is Ronaldo is not even amongst top 25 all time in goals scored, he may have scored a lot individually but it shows that his situational awareness was not good to link up with teammates, and his dribbling was only successful because he played in Serie A, the defending is quite low level there.
I remember those days, before Internet and social media it was dificult to watch these games on a weekly basis without satellite tv so every time we get to see a game with Ronaldo everyone would get so excited. Even the commentators would be so excited everytime he would touch the ball.
Os caras só pegam estatísticas e acham que isso basta para dizer quem é melhor e pior. Sou fã do Haaland, acho ele um baita centroavante, mas não dá pra comparar como fenômeno. Ele era brutal, não só em gols, mas em habilidade, velocidade, técnica etc.
se fomos comparar com o fenomeno realmente o haaland não tem chance, a carreira do fenomeno acabou por causa da lesão no joelho se n ele teria conquistado muito mais titulo e talvez até mais copa do mundo, mas mesmo assim sou fã do haaland também ele é absurdo no quesito fazer gol.
@@darkrn1035 Sim, e pra galera que gosta de estatísticas, a média do Ronaldo era até mais alta que o Haaland nessa idade, que foi antes de sua séria lesão na Inter, no ano 2000.
concordo plenamente com você !!.... soy argentino mas ao Fenómeno eu o tenho num lugar muito especial do meu coracao. CR7... antes do ter comparado com Messi deve ser melhor do que o fenómeno.... e nao é.... un luxo ter assistido o jogo do Ronaldo (o fenómeno, o verdadeiro Ronaldo 😁)
World never saw anything like him when he burst onto the scene that is one reason he was given the title of El Phenomenon.His prime will remain incomparable.
Prime Pele (59-65) Prime Ronaldo (07-09) Prime Messi (11-13) Prime Maradona ('86 mundial) Prime Best (67-71) Prime Ronaldinho (03-06) All surpasses him. But Ronaldo was an incredible footballer.
I remeber back in the day, we used to skip school just to see what he would do next on our local TV when he was 18, before Internet. Never again such enthusiasm. A rolemodel for every football generation
To me personally NO ONE ever had better solo runs. I love Maradona, CR7, Messi etc.. These are all the GOATS but Ronaldo Fenomeno has a special place in my heart. It’s just something so unique in the way he moved and his explosive unique way of nonchalantly destroying everyone. His every move had a calculated reason and he always knew exactly what he was gonna do.
Pre-injury he was utterly bewitching, ferocious, destructive and magical. It was like i were watching a God of Football or something, later they nicknamed him "The Phenomenon" ...and rightly so...he had to be seen to be believed ...and i haven't seen anything like him (pre injury) before or since.
My idol and he will continue to be. A player that I grew up watching, someone that I truly tried emulating myself when I played on the field. He inspired so many generations, in my opinion he’s the greatest striker of all time and it’s not even close.
Quite surprised people are actually comparing him to Haaland. Completely different type of player. Haaland should be compared to Gerd Muller, van Nistelrooy or Batistuta.
For me he will always be the greatest. My childhood was spent watching this guy light up seria A which to this day was the greatest league I’ve ever seen. What an absolute baller.
Can we talk about him sending Roberto Carlos to the ground in a shoulder to shoulder contact? Simply insane that shit ... he was so gifted in many levels. It was like a videogame player that you built everything with 99.
@@onurdurmaz695 There is no defender that could stop Ronaldo but the most feared defender ever is Maldini. Ronaldo said that sometimes he could beat him and sometimes he could not.
Messi y cristiano marcaron epoca pero no vi la magia que irradiaba el gran fenomeno...sin tiktok ni ninguna red social llamaba la atencion todo lo que hacia en un campo de futbol
Dude, even after his devastating knee injury where doctors said he won't be able to properly walk afterwards, he won the World Cup, the Golden Boot and the Balon d'Or
How was he still the best at scoring after his knee injury?! Henry won 2 European gold boots between 2000 - 2009 while R9 didn’t win any. Henry was also the top goal scorer of that decade. So Henry was the best goal scorer during that time
I’ve had the privilege to witness the phenomenal genius of R9 live in the flesh. I can honestly say Halaand, CR7, and Messi fan boys need to put some respect on his name, ffs! 🏆⚽️💥✨ *A TRUE GOAT!* 🐐
Incredible player. He attacks defenders like no one I've seen before. Some strikers try to avoid and go round them...he just plow through them like heated knife to butter.
Por eso Benzema le dio tremendas palabras en la entrega del balón de Oro. Todos son fans de lo que hizo. Los más grandes de la historia antes de Ronaldo y los más grandes después de él, todos aceptan que cómo 9 aún no hay nadie mejor que él. Por eso es el Fenómeno porque esa palabra es algo así como algo único, diferente, raro de ver en la naturaleza, fuera de lo común. Indiferentemente de sus números y con lesiones y sobre peso se retiró siendo el delantero fenómeno, la a rareza del fútbol. Cada vez que lo veo sigue siendo igual de impactante, transmite una potencia, como una tren bala imparable. Increíble.
@@gwj10 ...ronaldo era 9 y 10 mijo, no hay comparacion, messi es buen jugador, pero solo mejor q su compatriota maradona, PELE,RONALDO y hasta DINHO estan un escalon mas arriba q el, ojala no seas argento nomas xq te ardera mi comentario 😁😁😎😎🤫🤫🤣
Nunca vi un 9 con todos esos atributos, Velocidad tremenda, Un regate que nunca sabías por qué lado te iba a salir, una finalización de top mundial, era increíble el fenómeno, nunca habrá un 9 igual.
3 balon d’dor by age 23. Absolutely owned the Dutch, Spanish and Italian leagues against legends of the game at a time when tackles were borderline criminal assaults. Let’s not mention his comeback, World Cup wins and golden boots. Fenómeno.
Cristiano has scored 8 goals in 5 World Cup finals… many games, not goat level. The real Ronaldo scored 8 goals in one World Cup, and he won the cup. Fanboys are delusional 😂
Força, drible, finalização, cabeceio, velocidade, criatividade, equilibrio, explosão, inteligência. O cara simplesmente tinha tudo. O atacante mais completo que o futebol ja teve.
@@VitinhoSnes Primeiro gol pela camisa do Corinthians. Inesquecivel. Não era um exímio cabeceador, mas se posicionava melhor que 99% dos atacantes hoje em dia. Isso é o suficiente
Tirando o cabeceio, ele era fantástico em todos os outros fundamentos, se não fosse as lesões, eu não tenho dúvidas, q esse cara brigaria com o Pelé lá no topo do futebol
jajaja querras decir que Ronaldo no le hace ni sombra a Haaland. Bueno en realidad muchos estan por encima, un jugador con un pobre rendimiento a nivel de clubes.
@@eduardoben0990 jajaja otro animal mas que no da un solo argumento futbolistico jajajajajajajjaja. Actualmente no lo esta pero pitnta para tener una muchiiiiiisiiimaaaa mejor carrera, pero muchisima mejor...La carrera de Ronaldo a nivel de clubes fue realmente pobre. Aprende de futbol fanboy
@@KaiserM3 jajajajajajajajaja osea Pele, Maradona, Platini, Beckenbauer y otros históricos no saben de fútbol seguro al decir que no hubo mejor 9 que Ronaldo Nazario. Aya! Chévere!! Pobre baboso!! Nadie habla de clubes.. cómo jugador individualmente no hay mejor 9 en la historia que el fenómeno. Los clubes que se surren, cómo jugador Ronaldo era una locomotora a parte de los driblings que tenía que destrozaba cualquier defensa. Tenían que marcarlo por lo menos 2 o 3 jugadores y ni así le quitaban la pelota.. eso hace Halland? No hables webadas! No sabes ni jota de fútbol
@@knay1456 of course...but if you looked at what he had already done at the age of 20-21 and kept going without these insane injuries then it looked like it would turn out to be something we have never seen before. The guy was out of this world
As a Madrid fan, a part of me wished R9 stayed at Barcelona….I think the harsh, crunching tackles of the Italian league really robbed the world of what would have been the greatest career in football, no debate…47 goals in 49 matches as a teenager….in a Barcelona team that wasn’t that great to begin with…insane numbers…Messi and CR7 needed 5 more years to reach those numbers…just absolutely incredible. The best talent in football history
Per me invece é giusto che sia andata nel campionato italiano, visto che a quel tempo era di un livello migliore rispetto ad adesso, e si sa che le difese non sono il punto forte del campionato spagnolo, quindi trovo giusto che sia andato a giocare in italia dove li la difesa é molto più forte
Well, I am sorry to disappoint you but back in the days Italian Serie A was way better and more competitive then any other in the world. Maybe the best ever existed
Engraçado que nessa época, o Brasil tinha tanto talento que nem dávamos tanto valor, achávamos que já era o normal do Brasil. Só hoje é que olhamos para trás e vemos que Ronaldo, Romário, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Cafú, Ronaldinho eram simplesmente craques atemporais.
Yo que he podido disfrutar de ver a Ronaldo en todas sus etapas desde que llegó al Barcelona puedo opinar que no tiene nada que ver un jugador con otro. Haaland es un grandísimo jugador (y ojalá llegue al nivel de Ronaldo). Pero Ronaldo era de otro planeta. El mejor delantero centro de la historia sin duda alguna.
Es que Ronaldo fue mucho Ronaldo ,por encima de Messi sin dudas ,lo que le supera Messi en regularidad y goles porque son otras defensas y otros porteros y otro fútbol ,pero Ronaldo era mejor sin abarcar tanto campo ,que fuera delantero centro no quiere decir que no supiera jugar de 10 que la gente está muy equivocada ,pero no era dueño de ningún equipo.
@@erickarias3309 amigo mío el jugaba de delantero centro pero podía hacer más cosas ,pero habia otros grandes jugadores que también sabían hacer las otras cosas como jugar para el ,eso no quita que Ronaldo no supiera jugar para el equipo.
Es que no se puede comparar 7 con 9 todo terrenos y con 9 puros de area...halland es un 9 puro pero de area como batistuta vieri y delanteros de ese corte, mbape es un delantero todoterreno como ronaldo(solo que algo peor evidentemente) y lo mismo 7 de distinto tipo en plan rivaldos piojo lopez inzaghis villas...Pero amos ronaldo es de otra galaxia como delantero,era el más dominante y con desborde del planeta.
Ronaldo tenía todo lo que un futbolista total tiene que tener, velocidad, drible, visión de juego, pase al hueco, fuerza... Magia en mi opinión el mejor futbolista que he visto jamás, Ronaldo en su plenitud nadie lo detenía.
@@El...Multipolar El futbol no se acaba en los mundiales, hay jugadores profundamente mediocres que los ostentan (Arbeloa, Boateng) mientras que otros geniales no (Cruyff, Di Stefano). Hay un factor de suerte importante, el mismo Messi te lo podría decir (mirate la final del 2014, Argentina jugó mejor y tuvo mas chances). Bajo tan pobres criterios para analizar futbol es entendible tu opinión igual, un toque que te retrataste a vos mismo.
Ronaldo é Ronaldo carai, tem como comparar não, maluco fazia tudo sozinho, se jogasse hoje em dia ia ser o maior da história. Ele fez o que fez ainda com contusões sérias, imagina se não tivesse rsrsrs
