Something people tend to miss This man is doing this in late 90s Serie A, one of the best leagues in history World class talent and defending, it’s kind of what the premier league is today, except that all defenses are extremely tough with big names (Cannavaro, Maldini, Thuram, Desailly, could go on)
The premier is dynamic and entertaining but the defending is not even close to what the defending on Serie A was in the 90s. Today flopping is out of control and you can’t even look at the players. Also a side note, the Spanish teams on aggregate have won most of the champions league titles
I think football the since 2007 has been on a massive decline!! We don’t even have 1 world class player playing now! Bellingham is amazing but he’s not world world class neither is that French Turtle… And they are the 2 best players playing currently!
@@Jordman1980 if you say football has declined, they would call you a nostalgic person…. Haaland can’t lace the boot of Mario Jardel. Yet, he almost won the ballon D’or award. Same Haaland that you can’t put your money on that he would successfully beat his opponent in a one on one take on.
@@Jordman1980 this upcoming (current) era is full of players who are good at one thing but lack in other ways. You have guys like Haaland being touted as superstars because hes elite at using his physical prowess to score goals yet is below average in dribbling and playmaking. Mbappe has speed but what will happen if he loses it through injury which may happen at any time. Pretty much we have an era of players at the levels of Thierry Henry but not at the R9, Zidane, Messi levels
you are younger.... in the 80's even grandma's came to check out this dude called " diego armando maradona" . His presence changed things ... he did not have to even really do anything. Yeah they kicked the fk out of him lol
No lies detected. Ronaldo brought the crowds like nobody. Not as a result of marketing, but pure skill, excitement. Nobody did it like him. Ronaldo was trully, a Fenômeno.
There was a saying, amongst the Italian football commentaries of the time, which i totally agree with: "Del Piero is the best in the 1 vs 1 challenges ... Ronaldo is the best in the 1 vs 1, 2, 3, 4, etc..."😅 absolute machine. Never seen anything like him
@@MM-dm4xj messi is not like ronaldo. And people like maradona /cruyff/ beckenbauer those are a different breed. They were the generals in war..... all the great players you know are nothing like that. Their presence was enough to change things. I was almost sure argentina would go to win WC 1994 with maradona taking a break from too much drugs and alcohol etc. The great argentina crumbled after he was sent home. If ronaldo was not on the team, brazil could have won wc'S
The only thing unique for R9, he creates chance for himself everytime he attacked. Maybe he looks like selfish dribbling solo, but thats how hungry he is to score. Truly pure striker
@@mem5860 31 assists messi. U can sum goals + assistis multiply by 2 and then u have ronaldo goals. Remember, 21y ronaldo ballon dor, messi 22. Just numbers before the G.O.A.T get injuried
@@MrSkouterMw3 he was a striker always ,not like Messi or cristiano they were not Center forward, 2 differents conditions, so those stats dont reveal the completely truth, also you are includin Brasil leagur
R9 is the only striker whom you can watch all day long even if he doesn’t score a goal.. normally we watch players like messi ronaldinho maradona or Kaka who are either playmaker or winger for this kind of football.. but R9 the fenomeno was unique.. he was running from own half to opponents box all alone with 5 defenders around him.. unparalleled
Роналдо был просто монстроузен на пике! Как не были круты Месси, Роналду для меня номер 1 навсегда Зубастик! А какая бешеная скорость, всегда удивлялся при такой массе, просто сумасшедшую скорость демонстрировал! Гений
Now you could imagine a team with Ronado, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho Gaúcho... Well... that was Brazil in 2002. Today, you cant even remember who is the striker of the Brazilian team.
Samuel etoo the striker. was better than r9. R9 is just a hype up player. If he didn't play for Brazil. He would be like any regular flashy player's. Etoo is better than R9.. If R9 played for the current Brazil team. He would like any regular flashy dribbling players. He never won a UCL.. Etoo is far better than R9. You guys love to hype these Brazilian players up. If R9 didn't play for Brazil, which had a lot of pack players. He would not have won the world cup. That you folks glamorize Soo much. Etoo played for a weaker team and beat R9 Brazil, in the confederation cup. Being the one goal scorer. Scoring the winner. Etoo beat R9 with El clasico between Barca and real Madrid. Etoo won back to back champion leagues. No body has done that. R9 never even won a Champions league. Yet you guys hype em up just because he was a magician with the ball and could wow people. Etoo was a scorer. He put the ball at the back of the net....
@@Passportbros8and remember that when Ronaldo played for Real Madrid he was already injured and even though he was good he was not the same as before the injury so he was in his 65%
Strength, agility, simplicity, focus, tecnique, and speed puts the prime Nazario before injury before anyone else I could watch: Ronaldinho, CR, Messi, and even Maradona. R9 before injury is like a one-man army 😮
Yes, this is my "Ronaldo"...there are Cristiano Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, both amazing and 2 of the greats, but only "Ronaldo", is this one...and is the most exciting player I saw live on tv, the Barcelona period was such a joy...I was glued to the tv untill the end or untill Ronaldo was replaced. Many times he played till the end, and did some of these things at 85 minute with his team winning...he was truly outstanding
Better to call him nazario rather than real ronaldo case it's straight disrespect to other ronaldo who is Cristiano, they both are having similar name so better call both of them as nazario and Cristiano
@@anshmishra9838 Im portuguese, so I could say Cristiano is the real one cause yada yada....but Nazário came before, he was Ronaldo Nazário, Ronaldo fenómeno...but the way me and my friends refered to him was simply "Ronaldo". I only say Nazário or fenómeno for people dont mistake who Im refering to, but for me Ronaldo is that one, another player is Cristiano Ronaldo and another player ia Ronaldinho Gaúcho (he is also named Ronaldo)...for me is not disrespect to the others to treat fenómeno just as Ronaldo.
Don't disrespect Messi - I've watched football for 20 years and it's funny seeing you guys who're my age discredit Messi's talent. Messi still has a lot of young fans so they'll be immature obviously - but Messi is still the overall better player but you cannot go wrong with any of the two. b@@realnesx
R10 never filled R9s shoes and you're not older than 16 if you actually believed Ronaldinho was better than R9. R10 was extremely inconsistent, and his career was astonishingly short - Neymar I would say was a better player than R10. @@Krampus5164
The BEST delantero/Forward of all Time!! I was 14 years old when I saw him play is first game in PSV!! All I need was 5 minutes to realized I was watching greatness!!!! The Best 9 of all time!! Blessed
There were always 3 defenders around him and many times they couldn't stop him to score.Unreal talent!I am and always been a Milan fan and never had any fear that our defence couldn't deal with the opponents until I saw Ronaldo giving Maldini and Nesta so many hard days.Ibrahimovic,Maldini,Nesta,Mourinho,Guardiola always said this guy was the best and the beast.
He was so powerful that even his body couldn't handle it and turned his knees into a pile of metal bars , nails and deformed bones and tendons after all the surgeries
Sou de Belo Horizonte e vi o Ronaldo estrear pelo rival. Aos 16 anos ele simplesmente destruia as defesas, inclusive, em um clássico, ele acabou com o nosso zagueiro Uruguaio, Kanapkis. Sim, senhores, ele era o nosso rival, mas tivemos este privilégio em ver os seus primeiros passos no futebol. Saudações alvinegras!!!
Me lo ricordo bene. Quando è stato a posto fisicamente, era uno spettacolo vederlo giocare. Negli spazi stretti, nessuno come lui: una velocità d’esecuzione e un controllo pazzeschi; una gioia per gli occhi.
Tons of injuries .. gaining weight .. but the speed is too much for the defenders to handle .. I really can’t understand this That’s why he is phenomenal Ronaldo
I'm running out of superlatives to describe il fenomeno the most amazing player I've ever seen. He's the absolute player. the most imaginative the most innovative player in history... Simply the best. He had the most imposing technical baggage we've ever seen. I feel lucky to have seen him live.
A real life nightmare for any defender from any era. That is the definition of a footballing legend, and this dude is the epitome of said definition. A true honour watching his career. They don’t make em like this anymore.
The 8:32 goal, he created the play out of nothing to Zidane. Who gives back the ball to R9 to score like a boss. This kinda goal + dribbling everybody + that step over and low crossed kick ( against Bilbao 02/03 ) is the best of the best. No one can score like that.
I was 14 years old when he went to Barcelona, first knew of him as the 16 year-old Brazilian World Champion and PSV's Wonder Ronaldinho! Playing as a CM at the time I admired technical, intelligent players, that created and assisted.... Leaders and visionaries, elegant and with the soft touch of class!!!( Kulkov, Redondo, Rui Costa, Matthaus, Ginola, Bergkamp, Gullit, Dino Baggio, Lentini, Boban, Hagi, Savicevic, Laudrup (genius creator) flair and dribbling was for superstars Romário, Van Basten, Maradona (could do it all with a ball) Futre, Robby Baggio, Asprilla, Stoichkov, Figo, Djalminha!!!!! But everyone wanted to play like Ronaldo, my friends, teammates, schoolmates even the Tomboy girls who loved sports....the speed, the stopovers, the change of direction, the controlled bursts of speed.... UNIQUE... I still remember some matches played, some mirrored moves that were successful!!!! The most bombastic footballer ever, truly phenomenal!
ofc Ronaldo was a monster, probably the best 9 ever. ofc we all regret his injuries 😢 What a legend still ! But let's not forget the great players that assisted him. I feel like Djorkaeff in Inter rly made him shine. He was a great playmaker, rly rly underrated... also made Zidane shine for France. A man in the shadows, one of the best playmakers to be fair (wc champion, euro champion, uefa champion...). L.etrs not forget Ronaldinho, Rivaldo , Zidane at Madrid ... R9 rly was surrounded by the GREATEST
@@poolalien yes FIFA player. It was thanks to FIFA that he destroyed every team, won 6 golden boots and every player and manager who played against him name him as the best ever. All FIFA lmao
@@baracuda9873 Bro, you've watched this video and still saying that? Like really?? Messi couldn't manage to quarter of these things without having a really bad knee injury. El Fenomeno was like no other. Even Ronaldinho named himself after him.
You and the rest of Real Madrid must have had so much fun training and playing together in your hey day , great memories watching you guys play. Ronaldo's pace and foot speed was incredible , as you mentioned his fee today would be crazy as would yours :)
+50$ Million to pay all the medical treatments. R9 Is my all time favorite player, at his best, im one of those who believe he played on the same level, if not even better than the best players in history. Its even more crazy to think that was not even his max potential. Sadly, his career did not go well because of all his injuries.

Highest peak for a pure striker but I’ll take Diego Armando Maradona as a total package. Much better passer, more influence over the game and also did more absolutely outrageous things on the pitch

@@jimclawley9117 that's injury something u can't control. I'm taking about speed, vision, driblling, pace control , stamina and ofcouse 101 with any goal lead.
@@kingroll7026 Etoo won Inter , their first UCL in like more than 30 years. R9 played for the same club previously and failed. To do that. But you guys love to hype these Brazilian players up. Give them balon d ors and more. Brazil was packed when R9 Played there.
strong , fast, smart , new and atletic btw i´m brazilian and i saw him playing in Brazil , Italy and Spain , great guy so mutch fun going to any station to watch him play

"And the rest" nobody in the history of this beautiful sport has done what this guy has done at a young age especially the hardest era with all those legendary players. He was basically a KID breaking records etc, breaking transfer fees back2back, having little documentaries on how to stop him, making the most ELITE DEFENDERS in history look like amateurs, this ain't even half but he is and will be "The most scariest player in history"
The best. What a joy it was watching him while growing up. My favourite player of all time. So many boys playing at the time were trying to replicate his skills while wearing R9 boots
I'm a millenial and I never saw either Pele or Maradona play but I grew up watching Ronaldo Fenomeno and for me he's still the best #9 I've ever seen play the game.
A lot of fans that watch modern football has no idea how ultra defensive the Seria A was back in the late 90s. It was the best league in the world. And Ronaldo schooled them week in, week out.
Alot of people do not understand how truly godlike he was, especially younger people who never watched a full match with him. He had the ball controller like Messi but with +30% strength and +20% speed and a left foot as good as a right foot. Follow that with a level of dribbling as good as Ronaldinho!
Thierry Henry Van Nistelrooy Didier Drogba Ibrahimovic have all said they tried to play like Ronaldo He is the first player of this kind and the father of the modern era in my opinion
