How Good Was PRIME Ronaldo Nazario? 

right what we call his prime is just uninjured imagine if we saw his TRUE PRIME

And he wasnt even a disciplined player. He wanted to party, though he loved football.

So true. if he wasn't injured he would still be explosive, but R9 is my goat and is greater than Suarez, messi and cristiano in my eyes

It's hard to decide between him and R10 (Ronaldinho) in the skill thing....because Ronaldinho had a control of the ball that even Pelé didn't have. And Pelé is the ultimate GOAT of all.

The best ever yes.

Just imagine what he would have done if he stayed fit. There wouldn't be a debate on the best ever.

@@joelthorpe4170 tbh there isnt any debate even now.....ronaldo played in the hardest era of football in the most competitive league ever, and what are considered the best defenders in the world couldnt stop him even by committing intentional fouls.nowadays the rules are made the game so easy for who is in posses of the ball is not even the same sport.

Can we stop with the what ifs nonsense coz even if he was fit could he score 91 calendar yr goals!Could he score 800 goals?!Pliiiz! Stop with ur nolstagic biase n stick to reality n not hypothetical what ifs.

@@desmondachocky537 Yes is the answer to both questions.

@@desmondachocky537 is not nostalgia,it is what it is, people saing pele is the best is nostalgia, ronaldo to this days has been unmatched for how impactfull was on the pitch and for how ridicolously strong,fast and tecnical he was

No. He has a special style. Never saw a player dribble like him specially against goal keepers that flip flop. Messi never did it. Ronaldo was ronaldo. Like maradona or even messi. Own style of play. I think the best of all time is ronaldo but before injury . Remember inter

​@@armin386clueless

Maradona is greatest ever to played and R9 had pretty good team. What Maradona did is impossible for R9 too

@@user-bi5nw4vp6t lol what??tell diego to run with the ball at break neck speeds executing stepovers,elasticos and faints

I could easily get behind that list. If you know you know R9 Maradona Messi Zidane Pele R7

@@heturnal plus Di Stefano, Platini, Beckenbuauer & Ronaldinho

i can't disagree with that

Agree 👍👍

@@heturnalgarrincha deserves to be on the list

Nobody called him R9, thats what zoomers call him. We just call him Ronaldo and real ninjas know him as Ronaldinho....but only in brasil tho

O Fenomeno

He never even won a single UCL trophy yet u claim he won it all.Stop with the riding.

​@@desmondachocky537 2wc

better than cristiano sure, not better than messi. beacuse messi is a forward and a midfielder while ronaldo was a forward. people always forget that when they talk about ronaldo and messi

If Messi played like R9 and waited for deliveries like a certain Portuguese goat he'd have like 2000 goals or something

​@@mem5860Better than Messi. Maradona is only above R9

@@user-bc2in7oe3l no one is better than messi

@@mem5860typical Messi fan. Well let me tell you something. R9 doesn’t come close to cr7. Cr7 is head and shoulders above him. This shouldn’t even be a debate.

Messi at age 24 already had more goals then him nostalgia is blinding you 😂

@@PSLGODSEdits9775 it’s hilarious you say at the age of 24. Bc you know by 24 of age R9 had that injury. When are you going to realize the difference between R9 and Messi is Messi needs good teammates to be good. R9 doesn’t. That’s why Messi’s Argentina didn’t win shit until that goalie arrived. 😭🤦‍♂️

@@davidjaramillo1574 messi assist scores is master at free kicks penalty most out the box long range goals in history greatest dribbler don't even compared that what if player to actual legend like messi who scored 91 something r9 can only dream of

@@PSLGODSEdits9775 Messi only scored 91 goals bc Barcas team was built around him…

@@davidjaramillo1574 then why didn't anybody in the history of this game has scored that many you probably a pendu fan so no point arguing with you

Yeah,only in ur deluded world.Messi clears that fat merchant.The stats, trophies, individual accolades,records, consistency,n longevity are there for everybody to see in the case of Messi.Just funny how people like u like changing posts with nothing to argue after Messi won it all.R9 never even won a single UCL trophy,are u aware of that??And even if he was fit,he couldn't score 91 calendar yr goals,even great Pelle couldn't do it against farmers n dentists during his time.Well Messi did.Its not even a debate n him having his injuries is not anybody's fault,shit happens so u cannot use that as an excuse.Even Cr7 once had an almost career ending nasty knee injury that he had to change his game from a winger to a penalty box striker.

Just did now. Thanks! for the reminder

Never mind that! FIFA need to investigate the 2022 World Cup Final! The entire French team contracting food poisoning before what would be Messi's last World Cup!!!! Food poisoning that depleted France's best players, thereby giving Argentina a clear advantage!!!! very convenient!

@@thejughead138That's karma isn't it? They 100% did it to R9! Desailly was a beast of a defender and there's videos of him and other French defenders talking about R9 with fear. Even the great Maldini told Desailly that he needs no backup but when they play against R9 he absolutely needs to double team against him. France made sure to destroy him before the final...CHEATS!

@@Barbariansdagger I understand your point, but this is different! IF (I do not have any empirical evidence to substantiate my suspicions!) Argentina cheated, it is substantially different to defenders roughing up a great player!

@@thejughead138 They did not rough up R9. He had food poisoning just in the day of the final and had a seizure and convulsions and it was a miracle that he recovered just in time to play although he wasn't announced as part of the squad right before the game. Some people speculate that his shoe deal with Nike which was one of the first deals of that magnitude was among the reasons why he was played as the coaching staff and medical staff didn't deem him as fit to play and it showed because he was a ghost. He isn't the type of great players who are ghosting in big finals as he proved that in 2002 when he scored twice in the final. I am not accusing the French federation for deliberately food poisoning. It was probably some of the hotel staff who thought they should do something to stop him so that their country can be assured of the victory. It isn't like France didn't have a suspicious behaviour in football just look at OM the only France club to win the Champions League and do some research into how they achieved that and you're going to realise that the speculations about poisoning Ronaldo can be very real.

he won more trophies than maradone scored more World Cup goals than Maradona . its funny you mention Cruyff how stupid does that sound.

But he still top scored with 8 goals and scored 2 in the finals to defeat Germany.

@@liongordel9088 thats good, but still not enough to be the best ever.

Not even considering who're his opponents during that time he's active? Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta, Buffon, Oliver Kahn, etc... Sure, you can argue that Ronaldo doesn't perform like his best self or what's the average "best players" can perform but the fact that all his opponents up until his serious injuries, and post-injuries were all legendary players, across all positions, especially the defensive players and he still manage to best them all, make history and completely change the game. That's the testament to Ronaldo's natural abilities as he's simply the best. Longevity, as much as ppl love to use as a mean to disregard one's Impact and Value isn't always applied. It might be a bit far-fetch but without Ronaldo, there wouldn't be Ronaldinho. Without Ronaldinho, there wouldn't be Messi. Without Messi, there wouldn't be another Ronaldo. Mohamed Sallah, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Benzema and the list goes on...

Messu miles clear don't compare anyone to my king

R9 without injuries>Messi and Ronaldo

is this video about cr7?

Prime R9 over prime cr7 any day of the week

I’ve watched both aswell and R9 all the way for me

@@broxy2007facts

​@@broxy2007 straight up facts bro!

he had 13 free kicks bruh, he used to do everything played 10 at inter do ur research. After inter he went to real madrid no need free kicks if u have beckham or zidane r9 was the most complete player in history.

He did why you lying

@@gn1495 The best striker in history i'd say. One of the most complete players in history.

He scored freekicks from different distances you never saw it that's it!

Stupid comment. It's all about social media of your generation. Before he was 20 he destroyed defenses in three countries and that includes Nesta, Maldini, Cannavaro, Thurram. Messi couldn't get past Nesta when the former was 36. Nesta at 22 couldn't stop Ronaldo

And how many UCL's did he ever win getting past those defenders! None.Such a lazy hypothesis.And Messi cooked Nesta in the return leg at the camp nou where Messi scored a brilliant brace in that 4-0 maulling of AC Milan in 2012-2013 UCL season.Dont fool us,we watched those games n the highlights of that game are everywhere on the net.

De Stefano wore what??

@@user-bi5nw4vp6t DiStephano third best. Puskas second.

@@NoahBodze And first Casemiro???? Before commenting one must have basic knowledge fool.
