RONALDO 1997/98 👑 Ballon d'Or Level: Dribbling Skills, Speed, Goals & Passes ᴴᴰ 

The Mike Tyson of football. In his prime unstoppable. Alhamdulillah.

If it weren't for three serious injuries between 1999 and 2000, it was very likely that Ronaldo would have 5 or 6 Ballon d'Ors at the end of his career. The level presented between 1996 and 1998 was completely unplayable and out of this world, before even turning 23 years old.

The Greatest Player to ever grace a football pitch. The Phenomenon R9 🤯

I’m only 41 but no other player in my life time was as exciting to watch as this guy. U just wanted the ball to go to him constantly to watch something amazing 🙌🏻

For those who wants know football before comparing players, I will give you the following important points: #1. Serie A during this era was exteremly challenging and complex competetion. #2. 1 goal in that Serie A means 3 goals in the current Serie A. #3. Best players in the world were playing in that Serie A followed by La Liga, EPL and then Bundesliga. #4. The best defenders like Maldini, Canavaro, Desailly, Thuram, Nesta all say Ronaldo Nazario is the most difficult player they face with. #5. Ronaldo Nazario never dived. #6. Ronaldo Nazario is impactful for his clubs and national team. #7. Ronaldo Nazario is one of the best dribblers, playmakers and passer. #8. Ronaldo Nazario is the best striker in history. #9. Ronaldo Nazario is the youngest player who won the Ballon D’or. #10. Ronaldo Nazario scored 47 goals out of 49 games at Barcelona. If you recognize what I am saying current football stars like Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo are not even close to Ronaldo Nazario.

The best player ever

R9 and R10 = my favourite Duo in football.

The only player in history that gave nightmares to the defenders. Even Maldini was very scared of him.

The real Ronaldo!

The most talented player in history, and the most thrilling to watch too. Great video, you just missed some of the great goals and plays from the UEFA cup in 98.

I always call him the Michael Jordan of football. Ronaldo El Fenomeno❤❤💪🏾💪🏾 what a spectacular player. Speed, strength, explosive, technique, skills, athletic and finishing all combined together. DANGEROUS💥. The GOAT for me. So sad about his injuries😢. We only enjoyed him for a too short time.

Perfect mixture between Cristiano, Messi and Ronaldinho. Physically gifted athlete like Cristiano, messi and God gifted talent like Ronaldinho.

Ronaldo fenômeno The Best King 👑 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

The man was 22 that season the raw pace power and skill at that age is ridiculous the real Ronaldo!

You only wait for the ball to be at his foot; the rest is magic. THE PHENOMENON.

13:48 conduzindo a bola com a perna esquerda e depois com a direita. O cara era um monstro!!!

R9 man... What a player he was! Best striker in history no doubt!

SO GOOD!!! his qualities made whatever team he had around him a better team.

The Best No.9 in Football History.. Hello from Croatia🇭🇷✌️

Perfect mixture between Cristiano and Messi. Physically gifted athlete like Cristiano and God gifted talent like Messi

The Greatest Of All Time!

Yes, there is indeed 1 Ronaldo and this is the most interesting thing: Ronaldo is Ronaldo, CR7 is CR7, they are clearly different, don't compare them.

4:20 look at that hold up play, under so much pressure even before receiving the ball.. players these days hit the deck immediately - From this video you can really see how special he was, excelling in all aspects of the attacking game... keeping possession, build up play, assists, crazy close control and dribbling, and deadly finishing 🔥 hmmm and without shouting and hawking around the penalty area like some other Ronaldos that we know lol

The player who made us fall in love with beautiful game, even goalkeepers had number 9 on their backs

Messi + Maradona+Cr7 =The Real Ronaldo Fenomeno

Yes the video is back. Fenomenoooo

Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima,. Best footballer ever.

what's most interesting is the positions Ronaldo took. He played more like a winger and a #10 than he ever played as a striker. His scoring was entirely due to how good he was, not because he camped in the box. I use Ronaldo as the measuring stick of what it means to be a great attacker. If an attacker cannot influence the game outside of the box, I do not consider him great.

How intense he was! I think that was the reason why his injuries.

these the types of videos ive been looking for all over YT thank you bro, commentary & the fans cheering really the best not those outdated videos w/ music over them

Самый талантливый футболист за всю историю футбола!

I am a 34 year old football fan. I remember well that Ronaldo's lateral movement with his foot completely disappeared after the 2002 World Cup. Before that, it existed

at the age of 23: Ronaldo R9: 230 goals Romário: 160 goals Messi: 142 goals Cristiano Ronaldo: 118 goals

The great thing about footballers from these earlier eras was the ability to stay on their feet when pressured by defence. So many players these days go for the easy penalty whereas these players would do what they could to stay on their feet.

Só Pelé pode ser comparado, isso pq deu 3 copas do mundo 😮😮😮 mas nenhum outro jogador jamais será como fenômeno!

Лучший в истории атакующий.

Nettamente il più forte e spettacolare calciatore del mondo!!!

He's teammates were too slow to back him up. He made a lot of easy assists that were not scored. He was playing too fast for his teammates.

The best Ronaldo. The lack of regularity due to injuries prevented him from winning a Champions League.

Sentimento lindo, sensacional foi ver Ronaldo, o Fenômeno, atuando em todos os clubes por qual ele desfrutou do seu dom genial, muito bom e emocionante cada partida que tive a oportunidade de acompanhar e torcer p que ele apresentasse o seu melhor nível de jogador, excelente jogador 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ronaldo fenómeno 😍

The Real Ronaldo the greatest player ever pre 23 years of age from 18-23 the greatest ever even Maradona and pele Weren’t that dam good at that age

R9 was phenomenal but my best Brazilian was always Romario who made scoring look effortless!Ronaldo was all about pace,skill and power!

thank you!!! amazing highlights!!!

El mejor 9 de la historia

He was unstoppable at that age and just before

The best ever, the only GOAT

The BOAT (best of all time). Maybe didn't have the longest peak/career to be the GOAT, but his best was better than anyone else's.

Melhor Ronaldo

Era um jogador criado em laboratório PQP s2

Ronaldo era um jogador tão foda que vc assistia as partidas torcendo pros outros jogadores tocar logo a bola nele, pois toda vez que Ronaldo pegava na bola ele já partia correndo com tudo pra cima da zaga e vc sabia que a qualquer momento ele poderia fazer gol, e parecia que o cara não cansava nunca.

ronaldinho campeonato brasileiro 98!!!! por isso a fita estourou....

Absolutely love this video

untouchable

The man wasn't human. He was from Planet Football. He was the best player ever.

The legend!

The machine RONALDO!! 👍👍

Meu ídolo no futebol, tive o privilégio de acompanhar toda carreira do fenômeno, pra mim o melhor!

Ronaldo is my favorit player in the world love it❤inter I am indonesian fans

R9 and R7 are both great players, who do not care what others think about them and just do their best.

Ronaldo the best ever ❤

Uma Maquina

The most complete football player in the world

R9, R10, Z10 what a great time !

What some people don't know is that the ballon d'or back then was viewed as the best "european" footballer i.e. best footballer on the european fields. However, it was the fifa award which was seen as the one which determined the best player of the world and he won that before the ballon d'or at Barcelona. In other words, he was already the best player, factually, during his time in Barcelona.

Só ele pode ser chamado de fenômeno nem um outro mais!!!!!!!

Melhor vídeo do Ronaldo que vi na vida!

الافضل على مر العصور الظاهره رونالدو 🇧🇷👏

Anyone else think this video should win an award for creativity?

Ronaldo além de toda gama de jogadas, tinha o melhor x1 contra os goleiros ( Tem até entrevista dele explicando o racicionio dos lances ) R9 é o futebol !!

Lo mas descomunal que he visto. 👑👑👑

Just magnificent

best striker ever!!

Meritava palcoscenici migliori in Europa in quegli anni

Underrated Legend

the one and only ronaldo🙌🏿💪🏿💥💥💥

The Phenom. Just.

GRANDE VIDEO

The best striker ever in football history. No doubt at all

Piu forte di tutti il fenomeno vero e lui nazarario da lima nessuno puu come liki

What if r9 never injured? This is the answer..messi or cr7 never come close

He was a monster... in every aspect than messi... because ronaldo well... doesnt need better support to break tight defence around cannavaro,thuram, nesta, maldini.... 1 thing to stopped him is tackles from behind

Alessandro Nesta said R9 was something different after playing against Messi and Cristiano. That doesn't surprise me one bit😂 The dude was the most gifted footballer ever. The only thing that beat R9 was his lifestyle.

Le grand Ronaldo R9 unique

He was a strong bodied player but very fast and he knew how to get around defense quite well. Very innovative and had a higher IQ and was relentless. The thing that set him apart was skill and the burst of energy to cover large distances and score. Amazing player.

Gran video.

E ainda tem animal dizendo que Cristiano Ronaldo e Messi são melhores que Ronaldo Fenômeno. kkkkkk É pra rir! Me mostra o CR7 e Messi jogando desse jeito, com essa intensividade. Mostra! Com essa explosão, chutando com ambas as pernas. DUVIDO! Nenhum outro jogador chegou a esse nível. Nem mesmo Pelé jogava nessa intensividade toda, apesar de eu achar o Pelé magnífico. Pelé só é o REI porque ele fazia tudo isso com menos intensividade. Pelé é a fusão do R9, Messi e CR7. Pulo alto, chute com ambas as pernas, corrida excelente, dribles, gols de falta, bicicleta, explosão, resistência e consistência. Mas, R9 foi absolutamente incrível, de outro mundo.

Rptimao, Parabéns pelo vídeo, ficou ótimo! O que tem de vídeos de compilação de jogadas por aí, no qual o editor fica (em uma mesma jogada) mostrando 20 ângulos diferentes, com música de fundo e cheio de efeitinhos visuais, acham que estão entregando um ótimo vídeo, mas na verdade o estragam. Sou 100% um vídeo como o seu, com áudio natural da transmissão e ângulo de tv, sem muita edição. Eu já vi muita coisa do Ronaldo, mas nesse seu vídeo vi coisas inéditas. Parabéns, mantenha esse padrão de edição. Menos é mais! Não seja como a maioria dos editores. Abraços, parabéns mais uma vez.

Irraggiungibile da chiunque!

Beast

DO CRUZEIRO 💙🤍 🇧🇷 🔺🤠 PARA O MUNDO! 😎

the best striker ever by far

The best!

Youll never see anything like this ever again

This is what Mbappe thinks he is

O melhor de todos os tempos!

Mega crack, imparable antes de las lesiones.. una velocidad y potencia, sumado a la gambeta indescifrable.. lo que sí en este video es como que corría mucho, buscando pelotas hasta detrás de mitad de cancha, digamos que 9 no parecía en este Inter
