Ronaldo did not have the best career but the 100% R9 is by far the most talented player ever and at 100% when he was a talent he did outscore everybody. This video is not the ULTIMATE COMPILATION. There are more player that reacted about R9.
@@andrewbunch6599 Messi did have a better career but for more enjoy in football R9 is by far better. R9 was a more talented player that showed much more on the field as Messi.
In Germany, football is like part of our national culture. And I think it is fair to say, that German football is among the most established in the world. Back in the day, there was no internet etc, and ofc, through world cups and euro and uefa, you had a pretty good picture of what is out there. You knew Brazil, and ofc Argentina and Maradonna and you heard about Pele, etc. You knew club names like Arsenal, and Barca and Ajax and Man United and Inter... But, we did not care that much, because Bundesliga was providing enough really outstanding figures at the time, including the emperor of football. And then came R9. He turend the world around. Suddenly we cared much more, we were all amazed by Brazilian kids playing in the streets, suddenly, Brazil felt like this mythical place where world class footballers are forged, dont forget, R9 came along Ronaldinho, Carlos, etc.. Every kid wanted to play Brazil, wanted a yellow shirt, wanted to be R9. Suddenly, Bundesliga felt a bit boring in comparison. At that time the whole world repeated one name constantly: Ronaldo. The real Ronaldo. He was a phenomenon, the only phenomenon. Sure, Messi and CR7 are great. But experiencing the dawn of R9 in the world of football, and seeing him play, back then... No one can reproduce such jaw dropping moments. We watched to see him do magic, no one cared about the outcome of the matches, it was ALL about him, when he played. This kind of general mood and consensus and draw coming from one single player, was a thing of the century. And it will likely take another century, before anyone comes along, who can captivate the world of football again like R9 did.
@@104thironmike4 this comment is beautifully executed!!!! I love this! I can attest to that R9 brought a new wave of love, and appreciation to the sport. Literally brought people and nations together, bc as a whole, we were experiencing him together all at the exact same time. What a time to be alive, it was like a new beginning. I’ve seen hype around football and football players but never like that before.
@@OutRegisTV Thank you! After writing the comment yesterday I went back in memory a bit and rewatched some footage, and then I remembered: we actually did not care about his goals, we were amazed by his dribbling, etc. But what we were all constantly waiting for, was for him to go off like a rocket. Like, it is hard to describe nowadays, but just imagine, R9 is about 3-5m behind the 4 fastest defenders in the world, all of them are sprinting, fast, in the same direction, towards the defender's goal. The defenders are running very closely together to build a wall. And then it would happen. Suddenly, like a switch being turned, like someone pressing the nitro boost, R9 would take off. And I literally mean take off. It was unbelievable, not only would he catch up to the defenders, mind you, all of them being in FULL sprint, he would blast through them - all while dribbling the ball, in complete posession - overtake them, and then he would find ANOTHER freaking boost button, and get even faster and leave them behind. NO ONE, no other player on earth could explode like this. No one. This was the epitome of watching R9, his inhuman ability no one could believe, even when we saw it, right there, in plain sight, right in front of our eyes. It was alien, it was not human what he did. Dribbling, scoring, passing, playmaking, yes, all of that was crazy good. But him outsprinting EVERYONE in full control of the ball - was really what made you rub your eyes over and over again. R9, the forever GOAT. While others count trophies, points and goals, he will always be the one who could outrun them all, with 8 knee injuries, a desease and overweight, lol. At his lowest, he was still above the peak, of whatever the year's goat's peak it was. Even my girlfriend, who never cared about football, when you say Ronaldo, she will immediately think of R9, never CR7, and will say, "yes, Nazario." Just because she grew up in that time. If you did, no Ronaldo can replace that image for you. Even if you never cared about football at all.
@@104thironmike4 why did I smile with joy reading this comment hahaha 😂 We have all seen some exceptional talents, speed, strength, ball control, dribbling from other greats over the years. R9 was the player that was a one stop shop… haha You didn’t need to look else where for your football fix. The complete package and more. His element of surprise was a gift, you just didn’t know what the hell he was going to do! That was his aura. As you said, his first 10-20 yards were a joke, and once he got up a few gears in pace, it was a freight train, all with the ball to his feet too! 🤯 The guy was a joke lol and sometimes Disrespectful with it 😂😂😂 It was like watching a grown man playing football with 9 year olds at times. 🐐🇧🇷
reading your commi throw me back for a few sec..for a mom i felt it again.... what just happened to all of us when he R9 entered the stage.....thank you .. hahah this wild man ... truly a PHENOMEN....
@@chrisg9615Did someone say Real Madrid were best team or were we talking about individual players? I guess you must think Luke Chadwick is same level if you rate players by winning Leagues lol 🤣🤣
Imagine you are a Player and really every Football legend puts you on the top of football what an honor what a feeling this Must be ... and he is so humble
@@davidduro974 that’s a great point and observation. He is very humble, yet world football elite rate you as the best ever! Yet he never speaks on it… Gotta love R9
How Zlatan is looking and smiling as he is standing across from his hero, the greatest of all time, Ronaldo. Brings tears to my eyes every time. Such an honor to have been alive and watched this magnificent talent. GOAT.
@@DARKORBITPYRO Zlatan watching R9 is a powerful yet telling moment. He’s literally looking at him, as most of us would if we ever got to meet R9. In complete awe and admiration. R9 is the one player that brings out emotion in me, he is the GOAT for more reasons than a few haha Great comment, thank you!!
@@OutRegisTVexactly. Considering too that Zlatan has been a special player throughout his career. R9 was almost alien. I would have hated (and loved) being a top CB in his era
@@Diezel16N If I was ever a CB in that era playing against R9, I would have sleepless nights. One or two things are happening… I’m getting a red card or humiliated! Or both, at the same time 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine a personality like slatan admiring another player in that way tells everything. He was really some kind of messiah for the sport of football. His knees couldn't bear his talent was literally the case with him
@@nestorastatas7785 I 100% agree with the comment. When big egos tell us he’s the greatest, we must listen haha Knees aren’t supposed to do, what R9 was able to do…
I'm a ManchesterUnited fan from birth since 1985 in my life time R9 the original Ronaldo is the best player ive ever seen play i was there when he played against United and got a standing ovation when he got sub of don't get me wrong ive seen incredible players but no one stood out like him
@@Christopher-us1tk oh wow you got to witness the hatrick and standing ovation!!! Respect 🫡 I can only imagine what that was like!!?? R9 had no comparison in my opinion…
I hate it when people compare CR7 to R9, R9 was a magical genius a natural player like george best. CR7 is a combination of skills and serious hard work. To all the casuals just so you guys know R9 took on the keeper 80 something times before scoring the goal. that is 1V1 against the keeping in the game not penalty.
@@Johnnyjawbone your are so right! These players are the best of the best. Once you get that consign, it’s a solid as it gets really! There’s nothing more to say!!!! 🙌🏾🐐🇧🇷🙌🏾
@@OutRegisTV Ronaldo loved that famous photo of him running past Maldini and Cannavaro. They're both sliding in, trying to get the ball. And as Maldini said himself “If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake.”
@@Johnnyjawbone legendary photo! I would love to eventually make clothing for the channel, with iconic moments in football. That would definitely be a great image to use.
@@Johnnyjawbone can you imagine having those defenders to choose from in their prime, manager’s nightmare to pick a team… but then, R9 would likely ruin them anyway at some point
The player who made me fall in love with football. That season he had at Barcelona was out of this world! There have been some incredible strikers over the years, but R9 was the most complete striker I've ever seen
@@JamesAtkinson85 I agree with you! The most complete striker EVER and more! That Barca season was a joke! lol Literally a perfect season, at such a young age too.
I am 44 years old now I am a football fan since I was 10 years old or something. This guy made world class defenders look like its their first day in a human body. I remember seeing the 17 years old Ronaldo playing for PSV when PSV played against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA cup. Must have been 1994 or 95. Leverkusen won 5:4 and Kirsten and Ronaldo both scored 3 goals each. This was the moment when this young fella caught my attention. I thought to myself "Man, this guy is freaking 17 years old. Hes something else man." Later on he went to Barcelona and thats when he became the best in the world. At 44 years of age I have never seen a player with this package of instinct, speed, skills, power, explosiveness and goal scoring ability. He is the absolute GOAT in my book, no doubt about that.
@@remokelm1838 you are making me travel down memory lane here. We are of the same age. I didn’t get to see him at PSV BUT through the football grapevine, there were whispers amongst managers, agents, and players about this kid from Brazil. And like yourself, when he went to Barcelona I got to see the hype. I’ve never been the same since!!!! I literally mimicked this guy. So grateful to have witnessed his career. The ups and the downs. It was a true pleasure 🙌🏾
@@OutRegisTV Oh okay, gotcha. Yeah well when he played for Barcelona that might have been being him at his peak. I would love seeing him play for Barca way longer.
@@htpangestu I completely understand your sentiments. We share the same love haha 🤣 Playing football my whole life, I went through a stage where I started to hated it. Watching R9 made me love football again. He had every skill/component!! He was a sight to see, every time he played.
mine for sure too,im from barcelona,when ronaldo was signed was 12 y.o. , from the frist supercopa game against atletico de madrid was my hero,and we've got romario in 93 94,a true magician,but ronaldo was unvelieable. compostela,valencia,betis,atletico,deportivo....the goals against that concrete teams are the most crazy goals ive even see.
@@franciscomiguelromerocarri8623 I’m with you! As a team I had never seen anything like it, it was truly breathtaking to watch. He will always be my GOAT!
He’s the best I have ever seen to this day. Forget the records on paper. Just looking at the way he moved , he was like a physical piece of art by the way he touched the ball and moved around. It was insane. He was something special real phenomenon. By the way great video. Im also a big fan of Ronaldo and I would probably shed tears if I ever met him. Watched him as a child.
@@MamaMia84oo7 thank you for the great comment. Mate, I get emotional watching his highlight reels 😳 so meeting him… I’d need assistance bc I’d be a mess! Haha The PHENOMENO was literally perfect for him
Let's just put it this way. R9 is the football equivalent of Mozart in music. Generational, no, epochal talent. You don't see this kind for hundreds, if not a thousand years.
When something is so good, so exceptional, you can't have it all the time. Its for a moment. Such was the greatness of R9 and Maradona. One was plagued by injuries, other one with addiction. They are above Messi and CR7.
@@Mr_Pussi all players mentioned are GOAT level states, just have to pick your poisons. Haha Every great player has a crutch/weakness. It’s apart of the game unfortunately.
This is what makes me laugh when people say R9 was overrated, LISTEN to what the top top players/defenders who played against him are saying about him!!
@@ruddock7 anyone that says Ronaldo is overrated, I automatically know to end the conversation swiftly, and remove myself from their presence immediately… 🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️
@@dondidi2726 those stats you just gave me are insane!! And I like it a lot hahaha I back this comment! The most complete player. It’s like he was playing on chest mode.
There are kids who have seen CR7 and Messi but only heard stories of R9, so they'll never really know how good R9 actually was.. I can't see any player being completely out of football for 3 yrs and instantly comes back with a bang and as long as he played even after that horrible injury he did absolutely amazing, it is scary what he could have done without that near career ending injury..PHENOMENON FOR A REASON
@@phiaklangtangjang5250 great points made here. You had to see it to truly understand the levels R9 was playing at. It was scary stuff! And to take 3 years out, doesn’t get mentioned enough, it’s like the world skips over that part. To overcome such odds, is not normal!!!! And to come back swinging and win trophies and play the best clubs in the world, the PHENOMENO is a understatement to me 🙌🏾🇧🇷🐐🙌🏾
You misspelled best defenders as R9 was up against the beast of defenders especially when he got to Italy. That generation of defenders is yet to be surpassed and not to mention the midfielders…
@@jaysparrow6631 he treated the best defense and midfielders as tho they were children. I’d never seen anything like it, nor will again.. Not like that anyways
The reason why my love for football began back in 97-98, for me, the Greatest to ever play the game, if we ever see a player like him again no amount of money could buy him
@@CofPunk if prime R9 was for sale now 🤯 That’s a scary number! He would be top of the food chain I know that much!! Haha He will always be my greatest player of all time!! Without question!!!
@@OutRegisTV All good dude, I hope you get to meet your Idol. Video was fantastic. I'm actually coming back today to send a video clip to my mate of part of it. Says your video was a good one. I'll send him the link too, but he's one of those with little time. (He does love R9 though so maybe he'll get to watch it)
I grew up watching Ronaldo. He wasn't player, he was gift to the humanity. God, aliens or some other superpower put him on the planet Earth to show humanity at what level football can be played. We will never see player like him again. Never. I think I would die if I met him.
@@TeamDogFan I’m with you on this, hence why I put it in the thumbnail nail. He’s an alien to the sport of football. I’m grateful I got to witness his time on the pitch. I plan to cry when I meet him one day, and I have no shame in that!!!!
@@AudioStorm_Music for all the football I’ve played, and footballers I’ve had the pleasure of meeting!! He’s the one player I’ve never even seen in person or come close to 🥺 Like yourself it’s my dream to meet him. I already know I’ll loose all composure in a very embarrassing way… And I’m ok with that 🤣🤣🤣
I still watch the same R9 highlights and get goosebumps every other time - I know what he is going to do, but I don't want to miss even a second as it seems like am watching it for the first time- that is what we call MAGICAL. He is absolutely the best 4 me
@@idolahmed1884 we are the same in that regard. I watch him before I play for inspiration. And still so small nuances I’ve never seen, and still shocked at what he could pull off at a pro level. There will never be another R9!!!
He was so feared by defenders all over the world. And yet loved by football supporters all over the world. From Australia, England, Peru, Nigeria, Russia, Italy, Scotland, Holland, Croatia, France, Portugal, Uruguay, Germany, Japan, Argentina, Poland, Norway.... The media attention on him during the 1998 and the 2002 World cup tournament was immense. You could feel it on him wherever you where based in the world. It was the 1st time I truly felt that a soccer/football player had reached the levels of attention that Mike Tyson had done in the 1980s.. That's what it felt like here on England at the time He was footballs Mike Tyson in regards to Media attention he was getting. And rightly so. Because of the speed of the mark. The close dribbling skills with either foot. The touch, the deadly finishing and finally how strong he was.. God only knows what it must have been like in Italy, Holland or Spain to see him playing live there...
@@ElectricSoulShow I’m a big big fan of Mike Tyson, and your comparison is spot on! R9 was the first true mega star of football in my eyes. He transcended the sport in a way I’d never seen before!!! Great comment by the way. Thank you!!
R9 is my GOAT, I have about 4 magazine pages on him. From his early day in Brazil and his time in Amsterdam. That's how I know that he was born in September like myself. Up to this day, I still watch him. Best ever.
For those of us who had the honor of watching Ronaldo (R9) play in the 90s and early 2000s, we know what a phenomenon he was! Even today, I get a big smile on my face watching his videos. He made me fall in love with football. For me, he is the Greatest .
@@augustomelo6424 Right!!! I can watch the same clips and I know what’s about to happen, and I’m still in awe! Simply magic, and always will be!!! 🙌🏾🐐🇧🇷🙌🏾

@@dhananjaymalhotra7854 RIGHT! To be completely honest with you, this would be how I would react to him right now 😂😂😂 I have no shame when it comes to R9 hahah
Ronaldo Fenomeno was the greatest player ever to walk on earth there are no words to describe the talent he had. I don't even call him Fenomeno anymore but Stratosferico which means stratospheric. For me he was the ultimate player his talent was beyond human imagination... People say : " without injuries he would have been even greater... And I say EVEN with those injuries he was untouchable that's how extreme his talent was. We'll never see another player like him again
@@JeremyDM-u4y I agree with you. He has no comparison. Pure footballing talent, with every element you could ever ask for in a player. He was literally perfect in very way!!
@@priyesh0071 ABSOLUTELY!!! both of those players are worthy. Give me a little time, as I like to gather the footage slowly and accurately. I want to give it the justice, and the proper care it deserves. Thank you for untrusting in me to make another video on the greats 🙌🏾😂🙌🏾
@@Misterloy his 2002 World Cup was a redemption story, a moment in time for us all to learn from. To overcome, hard work, dedication, and to do it with numbers, goals, and silverware is what makes R9 the PHENOMENO

Absolutely loved this video, seeing all this fantastic players talking about R9, the French squad was a World Cup winner and they feared him and loved him at the same time, this is mind blowing. We all loved Ronaldo, everybody everywhere in the world knew how great he was and what a fenomeno he was
@@FlorianGheorghe88 thanks for the compliment on the video, I appreciate it. Every player in the video is an elite athlete of the same discipline, and all have the same regard for R9 (And there’s so many more) He truly is the PHENOMENO 🙌🏾🇧🇷🐐🙌🏾
Probably the best defense line in football's history ( even better than 90's Milan) talking about Ronaldo. They completely owned us brazilians in 98. Thuran is a monster. Desailly is a beast. They deserved that title. Zidane is probably the most respected foreign player in Brazil.
My Ronaldo moment was when he scored THAT goal against Compostela, Sir Bobby Robson & the technical bench were in utter disbelief. It felt like "what did I just see?" I grew up when R9 was at the peak of his powers, at that point in time TV wasn't liberalised in much of the African continent & we mostly consumed football in print media & the weekend highlights....Ronaldo was always in the highlights. I remember George Weah winning the FIFA player of the year then being dethroned by R9 the next year, that made me take notice. He had it all, this guy could pull off some dribbles at full flight that defied logic. In 2002 he was a pale shadow of himself at his peak but even that version of R9 was heads & shoulders above the rest of the players at the world cup. Having won the WC in 2002 as the top scorer, he became only the 3rd player in WC history to be the top scorer in the tournament from the winning team (Mario Kempes in 78 & Paolo Rossi in 82 being the other 2). And this was with no penalties & other dead ball goals. Simply phenomenal
@@Detroiy2k Billy Goat Gruff! 😂😂😂 I can relate! The player that was more than just football. I still watch his highlights till this day just in case I missed a skill, goal or move haha
People should remember, Van Nistelrooy also played with Cristiano Ronaldo at ManUtd, but a Ronaldo(R9) that was past his peak *_still_* blew Van Nistelrooy head off 🤯when he played with him at tReal Madrid, leading Ruud to say that R9 was the most insane talent he encountered in his whole career.💪⚽️💥
@@johnpacino007 that’s such a huge point made here! Great comment!!! CR7 Man U was my fav era of Cristiano. And for Rude to make that statement is a huge testament. As you said it wasn’t even prime R9 😧
He is the reason for many who started watching football just to watch him play , its like he is dancing on the ground and football was his partner following his feet
@@knowinterestingfacts hahah Right! He made me fall back into love, after I decided to walk away from the sport. I’ve never seen anything like him, it was truly mind boggling.
Even Franz beaconbeur (if that's how you spell it) said in the paper next day "I've just seen the next pele" and that's coming from a legend whos played with Pele after watching Ronaldo 1st match in Europe.
Bro, his health affected his knees and the first injury at PSV in 1994/95 removed 30% of his mobility yet he still pulled of all those marvelous things at Barcelona and Inter until the biggest injuries in 1999/2000.😢 We never saw the real Phenomenon.
@@liongordel9088 thanks for the comment, I appreciate it! You make a good point, did we actually ever see him at him 100% health/best 🧐 Did we only witness the partial truth??? If that is the case, that’s a scary thought 🤯
@@OutRegisTVThanks bro, I followed World Cup since 1990 and in 1994 I saw Romario and Bebeto but the papers talked about a 16 year old Pele incarnation and I followed Ronaldinho as he was called with the hype of a religious zealot. I can honestly say the best was before the injury at PSV. After the injury it was always some fear although he was still a monster.
@@liongordel9088 I love this! I’ve seen the obvious highlights of Ronaldo at PSV, but can honestly say I didn’t get to watch full games. But, behind in the academies at the time, and being behind the scenes the rumor mills/hype about R9 was brewing like wild fire!!!!!! I even remember my dad talking about him with his friends, and thinking that’s a silly name 🤦🏾♂️😂 But once I saw my first game at Barca I was hooked, and nothings changed since lol I literally mimicked R9 style of play, and will always have time for the GOAT.
I don't put anybody above R9. I thought Pele and Maradona were better than R9, but I do not think they were. For me and many other football fans, R9 was the player to watch. Especially when he was playing for Barcelona and Inter! His speed, strenght, technique, getting through defenders, scoring goals from any corner on the pitch. humiliating goalkeepers, humiliating great defenders! R9 is the real GOAt people are scared to talk about!
@@gilfernando7623 it’s all about preference, and football is subjective. I myself LOVE Ronaldo so much that it’s hard for me to even compare to anyone else… His whole career has been a joy to watch, witnessing someone put all the best attributes together the way he did, at the top clubs, against the best of the best, was simply majestic!!!
@@achiepalaago Right! Its refreshing to see the love many have for him. Hence why I had to make a video on him. It’s only right More videos in the GOAT coming soon!!!
Excellent video, i grew up watching Ronaldo, i just wished i saw him in training. He did it with ease, He drifted into midfield just too run trough players and he he rounded keepers with ease for his own fun.
@@captinweestain526 thank you for your kind words, and comment. Can you imagine what others have seen in training OMG!!!! I’d love to have been a fly on the wall during his time. Bc what we have seen on game day has been nothing short of magnificent. Imagine what he was doing during drills! 🤯
R9 ... It'll be a long time before we see a player of this caliber. I've been saying this for a long, long time now. Yes, GOD created the PERFECT FOOTBALLER in Ronaldo Nazario, then sat back and enjoyed it very much. STRENGTH, FLUIDITY, VISION, INTELLIGENCE and AMAZING SKILL, he had it all. Best part of it is that he was such a humble, down-to-earth person. A great video. Thank You.
We respect the longevity and discipline of Messi and Cr7. However, when we look at the prime times of Messi, Cr7 and prime time of R9 and what R9 was still able to accomplish after brutal injuries, and what R9 could have accomplished without injuries, Messi and Cr7 cannot be above R9 because they did not play better football than R9. R9 is still the youngest player to win ballon'dor . He was 21 when he got it! All this was accomplished in his prime time! This is a debate that will never end because more football fans around the world are now realizing that a player who had everything and did it well, was R9!
@@gilfernando7623 I appreciate this comment. I have huge amount of respect and love for both Messi and CR7. R9 without injury and even with injury did things I’ve never seen before. Especially at a pro level against the elites. It was always boys against men with him, always one step ahead. Let’s not forget youngest Ballon winner! His trophy cabinet alone speaks for itself!
Ronaldo is the type of athlete that makes you question as a fellow professional athlete whether or not you’re any good at the sport…that’s the impression all of these players give. He was something else.
not considering the length of time he was at the top but sort of the absolute value of the quality of football R9 stands alone. No one can come close to him. A phenomenon.
@@hom-hn2gf the length of time was short by todays standard, when compared to CR7 and Messi. In the relatively short period he played for some of the best teams across the world, won almost everything.

Messi was a good player with a longer career, but if you ask anyone who isn't a tv pundit and older than 35, would you rather have (prime) Ronaldo or messi in their team?? 99% would choose Ronaldo.
even his body couldnt handle such a force.. of nature in footballs world... he came and just happened to the world .. a phenomen ... unreal , somehow scary but a joy....but maybe we werent just ready for what could have been the peak... R9 without injuries wild n hard to comprehend...

Everybody misses a player like Ronaldo and Brazil teams from 94-2006. That whole generation of Brazilians are absolute football gods. No other country has ever come close to assembling that type of talent. And Ronaldo was the best of them all.

God was so afraid R9 would be able to drible him too so he gave him knee problems, but still R9 got up and did it in the end. The phenomeno, with injuries too
I went to a Brazil England game once and R9 was there, he waved at my wife and beckoned for her to come into his commentary booth. I think any man might be slightly annoyed by that but given it was R9 , I felt a great happiness. What a legend.
Great video! I'm Brazilian, R9 was a great player, but it's good to know that the haters here in Brazil in 98 because he handed the World Cup to France, he had a bad time, to this day we don't believe that, France, with due respect to Zidane, almost was eliminated by Paraguay and Zidane scored two headed goals without even leaving the ground. This in our country is unacceptable. He was only forgiven because he played better in 2002, and we won our fifth world championship. But it was supposed to be the sixth. Our team entered the field destroyed in the 98 final because R9 felt ill. And to this day we are outraged by this. And regarding current Brazilian players, they are all horrible, some boots, Neymar, Vinicios Junior, Endreck, my god, what a horrible generation.
@@marcosaguiar4179 thank you sir, I appreciate the compliment, it was my pleasure to make! I have heard that Brazilians took that loss in 98 very hard, and are still feel heart broken by it, to the point they will not forgive… Is this true? Zidane was incredible during this time! For some reason he always played so well against the Brazilian national team. As for the new generation, I’ve heard it’s mixed feelings about them? The talent is there but can they put it all together, and start winning major trophies again. Time will tell I guess…
Even opposition fans applauded when R9 humiliated and scored against their team. Today’s fans of Messi and CR7 have little idea what they missed. Even the vids convey only a part of the magic, because they expect it and were fed news of this unbelievably gifted legend of football. Ronaldo Nazario was for me the most gifted football player I’ve ever seen.
@@Pulsonar highlights don’t do R9 justice at all. I’ve never met a football fan that disliked him, respected by all, which is rare in the football world lol
@@OutRegisTV Correct. This genius of the game united opposing people just by his magical skills in 90 minutes than many politicians do over their lifetime 😂
R9. Ronaldo! Ronaldinho!(Yes, he was called Ronaldinho before R10 Ronaldinho. I met him at a McD's in Brazil in 993. My cousin said: "Hy, that's Ronaldo. He's just 17, but he's awesome. Less than 2 weeks later, I saw him score a Hat-Trick against their biggest rivals ( he played for Cruzeiro, and scored against Atletico-MG). I saw him go through the worst. I was a huge fan and I believed in his recovery. When he won the 2002 Qorld Cup scoring 8 golas with 2 in the final match, it was one of the greatest moments I've live in football.
@@rrothman23 now that’s a cool story! Thank you for sharing! 🙌🏾 You got to meet a living legend. Not many can say that, and at Mc’D’s too 🤣 His come back and winning the World Cup was felt by ALL, which is a rare thing in football. I think everyone was hoping for his comeback, and he delivered with numbers, goals, and magic.
Funny thing, when I used to play football with the friends when I was small and whenever I scored a goal I was yelling his name 😂 He is the reason that I became footballer and he is my top idol to the roof 😅!
@@vancospasov4242 me and you are the same, in this regard! Well said. His redemption story is the reason the came back to football after a break. He is and always be my #1
You could tell when Zlatan was looking across at Ronaldo you could tell he was so proud to be on the same pitch. It looked like his heart was about to burst from his chest. I don’t think he even cared about the result at the end of the match. Matches were all about Ronaldo.
@@Pulsonar I agree with you here! Zlatan looks like a man that has accomplished a life goal and in pure awe of his favorite player! Could you imagine the excitement for me 🙌🏾
he had insane speed, dribbling, finnishing (even tho he misse dsome opportunities but those were him passing 5 players and just getting into some weird angle), flair, creativity, power, both foot shooting, later passing, free kicks, getting into positions(seen many of his goals been flagged just because he was to quick and it seemed like offside).. and much more, Ronaldo forever
@@Visnjik1986 excellent comment, thank you! The complete number 9, had every attribute you could ever want in a player and more!!! I still can’t watch his injury video, I genuinely feel like a kid that learnt super hero’s are not real 🥹
The world was robbed from seeing something that might never be possible again on this planet when Ronaldo injured his knee. He would have easily been the best player in football history if he didn't get injured.
@@itotallycare the world was robbed from a different level of greatness, when he had his injuries. When I saw him get injured it literally hurt my soul. I still can’t watch it till this day 🥹
I loved how this ..people respect the r9 😊😊he was truely my .. best striker in childhood . Which is unforgottable .. how good he was . Really .. at everything. ... In box very dangerous ... Striker
If R9 was playing in the same generation as CR7 and Messi football would have had its very own trinity to match tennis - Roger, Rafa and Noler. He would have had access to better medical facilities helping with faster recovery and prolonging his career.
@@ARCPA1040 that’s an interesting point! The game and medical side of the sport has advanced so much. Who knows, R9 may have never had so many injuries. It’s a good theory to ponder on. Thanks for the food for thought!
I just realized, If i wanna play and enjoy much football i wud like to play with or against players like Messi, Ronaldo, Zidane, Maradona, Ronaldinho etc and If i wanna play and win the game at most, i wud like to play with players like Cristiano coz he gives goals, and great stats ultimately….but rest of those players r natural, magician, n great players who aced this passionate game of football and mastered the game. I don’t see those kinda players as great because of the trophies they won or the stats they contributed. It’s the way they play that hypnotized me and hypnotizes me always when watching them play. The pleasure i get watching their play. Winning trophy comes at lower category as many of the reasons for them being greatness.
@OutRegisTV I totally agree with you. Those two get left out a lot. Some could make the list if they took their career more seriously, like Neymar, Pato. There were many greats, but I can't list them all. Even Roger Milla, Abedi Pelé, and Okocha could make the list.

"Ronaldo didnt play football, he was football" Cold statement
@@nnamzy01 one of my favorite compliments about R9! 🥶
In Germany, football is like part of our national culture. And I think it is fair to say, that German football is among the most established in the world. Back in the day, there was no internet etc, and ofc, through world cups and euro and uefa, you had a pretty good picture of what is out there. You knew Brazil, and ofc Argentina and Maradonna and you heard about Pele, etc. You knew club names like Arsenal, and Barca and Ajax and Man United and Inter... But, we did not care that much, because Bundesliga was providing enough really outstanding figures at the time, including the emperor of football. And then came R9. He turend the world around. Suddenly we cared much more, we were all amazed by Brazilian kids playing in the streets, suddenly, Brazil felt like this mythical place where world class footballers are forged, dont forget, R9 came along Ronaldinho, Carlos, etc.. Every kid wanted to play Brazil, wanted a yellow shirt, wanted to be R9. Suddenly, Bundesliga felt a bit boring in comparison. At that time the whole world repeated one name constantly: Ronaldo. The real Ronaldo. He was a phenomenon, the only phenomenon. Sure, Messi and CR7 are great. But experiencing the dawn of R9 in the world of football, and seeing him play, back then... No one can reproduce such jaw dropping moments. We watched to see him do magic, no one cared about the outcome of the matches, it was ALL about him, when he played. This kind of general mood and consensus and draw coming from one single player, was a thing of the century. And it will likely take another century, before anyone comes along, who can captivate the world of football again like R9 did.
@@104thironmike4 this comment is beautifully executed!!!!
I love this!
I can attest to that R9 brought a new wave of love, and appreciation to the sport.
Literally brought people and nations together, bc as a whole, we were experiencing him together all at the exact same time.
What a time to be alive, it was like a new beginning.
I’ve seen hype around football and football players but never like that before.
@@OutRegisTV Thank you! After writing the comment yesterday I went back in memory a bit and rewatched some footage, and then I remembered: we actually did not care about his goals, we were amazed by his dribbling, etc. But what we were all constantly waiting for, was for him to go off like a rocket. Like, it is hard to describe nowadays, but just imagine, R9 is about 3-5m behind the 4 fastest defenders in the world, all of them are sprinting, fast, in the same direction, towards the defender's goal. The defenders are running very closely together to build a wall. And then it would happen. Suddenly, like a switch being turned, like someone pressing the nitro boost, R9 would take off. And I literally mean take off. It was unbelievable, not only would he catch up to the defenders, mind you, all of them being in FULL sprint, he would blast through them - all while dribbling the ball, in complete posession - overtake them, and then he would find ANOTHER freaking boost button, and get even faster and leave them behind. NO ONE, no other player on earth could explode like this. No one. This was the epitome of watching R9, his inhuman ability no one could believe, even when we saw it, right there, in plain sight, right in front of our eyes. It was alien, it was not human what he did. Dribbling, scoring, passing, playmaking, yes, all of that was crazy good. But him outsprinting EVERYONE in full control of the ball - was really what made you rub your eyes over and over again. R9, the forever GOAT. While others count trophies, points and goals, he will always be the one who could outrun them all, with 8 knee injuries, a desease and overweight, lol. At his lowest, he was still above the peak, of whatever the year's goat's peak it was.
Even my girlfriend, who never cared about football, when you say Ronaldo, she will immediately think of R9, never CR7, and will say, "yes, Nazario." Just because she grew up in that time. If you did, no Ronaldo can replace that image for you. Even if you never cared about football at all.
@@104thironmike4 why did I smile with joy reading this comment hahaha 😂
We have all seen some exceptional talents, speed, strength, ball control, dribbling from other greats over the years.

The complete package and more.
His element of surprise was a gift, you just didn’t know what the hell he was going to do!

I am 44 years old now I am a football fan since I was 10 years old or something. This guy made world class defenders look like its their first day in a human body. I remember seeing the 17 years old Ronaldo playing for PSV when PSV played against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA cup. Must have been 1994 or 95. Leverkusen won 5:4 and Kirsten and Ronaldo both scored 3 goals each. This was the moment when this young fella caught my attention. I thought to myself "Man, this guy is freaking 17 years old. Hes something else man." Later on he went to Barcelona and thats when he became the best in the world. At 44 years of age I have never seen a player with this package of instinct, speed, skills, power, explosiveness and goal scoring ability. He is the absolute GOAT in my book, no doubt about that.

Probably the best defense line in football's history ( even better than 90's Milan) talking about Ronaldo. They completely owned us brazilians in 98. Thuran is a monster. Desailly is a beast. They deserved that title. Zidane is probably the most respected foreign player in Brazil.
My Ronaldo moment was when he scored THAT goal against Compostela, Sir Bobby Robson & the technical bench were in utter disbelief. It felt like "what did I just see?"
I grew up when R9 was at the peak of his powers, at that point in time TV wasn't liberalised in much of the African continent & we mostly consumed football in print media & the weekend highlights....Ronaldo was always in the highlights. I remember George Weah winning the FIFA player of the year then being dethroned by R9 the next year, that made me take notice. He had it all, this guy could pull off some dribbles at full flight that defied logic. In 2002 he was a pale shadow of himself at his peak but even that version of R9 was heads & shoulders above the rest of the players at the world cup.
Having won the WC in 2002 as the top scorer, he became only the 3rd player in WC history to be the top scorer in the tournament from the winning team (Mario Kempes in 78 & Paolo Rossi in 82 being the other 2). And this was with no penalties & other dead ball goals. Simply phenomenal
With or without injuries, he’s still the greatest footballer I’ve seen out my eyes.

What’s your favorite goal, or moment from R9?
@@OutRegisTVAnd even worse is that they are only talking about his major injuries but also a disease destroyed him.
I don't put anybody above R9. I thought Pele and Maradona were better than R9, but I do not think they were. For me and many other football fans, R9 was the player to watch. Especially when he was playing for Barcelona and Inter! His speed, strenght, technique, getting through defenders, scoring goals from any corner on the pitch. humiliating goalkeepers, humiliating great defenders!

We respect the longevity and discipline of Messi and Cr7. However, when we look at the prime times of Messi, Cr7 and prime time of R9 and what R9 was still able to accomplish after brutal injuries, and what R9 could have accomplished without injuries, Messi and Cr7 cannot be above R9 because they did not play better football than R9. R9 is still the youngest player to win ballon'dor . He was 21 when he got it! All this was accomplished in his prime time! This is a debate that will never end because more football fans around the world are now realizing that a player who had everything and did it well, was R9!

This in our country is unacceptable. He was only forgiven because he played better in 2002, and we won our fifth world championship. But it was supposed to be the sixth. Our team entered the field destroyed in the 98 final because R9 felt ill. And to this day we are outraged by this.

For some reason he always played so well against the Brazilian national team.
As for the new generation, I’ve heard it’s mixed feelings about them?
The talent is there but can they put it all together, and start winning major trophies again.

I respect this!
The list of forgotten ballers is endless, as you said, to many to mention.
Milla! Even I haven’t heard that name in a while haha wow!!! What a player
R9 is like the mythical man. Once in a lifetime. Nobody will capivate the world of football like he did.
@@DiamondGeeza749 you are absolutely correct!
We will never see another like him again.
EVER!!!
In my age it was R9 no one else. I hope today generation can watch him play and understood why
@@unfilterednations it’s for us to teach them!
Otherwise they will know the greatness that’s truly out there!!!!
At that time camera work was not as good as today... So modern Kids can't imagine what a beast he was.. R9
@ highlight reels just don’t cut it!
loved this video!!!! Hey next time add bufon saying "the fact ronaldo is not considered the greatest of all time is tragic" and there is also canavaro, maldini and benzema!
@@daniloelias9887 thank you so much, I’m slowly making a part two with those players in them 😉
Simply Ronaldo The Phenomenon is The GOAT Of All goat's... Period
@@nasir-my7og I’m with you!
Preach it my good man 🙌🏾
R9 ⚡ truly PHENOMENAL ! I come from a small country Nepal. But , this Legend🙏 touched the heart of billions beyond borders. After the loss of 1998 world cup, his emotional breakdown after the divorce, numerous injuries, this LEGEND proved himself that He's the BEST in 2002 world cup. Blessed🙏 to have seen him playing in our times . THE GREATEST OF ALL . The PHENOMENON 🌠
@@tejinizam1168 like yourself I feel truly honored to have witnessed such greatness in real time 🙌🏾
His redemption story in so many ways was relatable, but his talent was beyond comprehension!
Truly one of a kind, and will ALWAYS be my favorite player of ALL TIME!!!
🙌🏾🇧🇷🐐🙌🏾
