What happened to "The end is near" Reaction Have to be next From that u will get a little bit clear picture of leagues, cl And journey of both the GOATs
He was the greatest of all time. Ronaldinho was with Messi in the same team, but Messi was like 19 years old or something like that. Messi was just starting his career back then. So Ronaldinho wear the no. 10 shirt and Messi was often a substitute in that team back in 2004-2006. That was Ronaldinho's prime. The thing is Ronaldinho liked to party a lot, so he didn't maintain that high level for too long. But in his prime, he was greater than Messi and Cr. Ronaldo.
Spme skills exist from over 50 years ago, so all the players that use usually some skills like the most famous or basic, they learned them from somewhere(sorry for bad english)
when this guy hit the world stage, CR7 and Messi were barely out of kindergarten to coin an american term, this guy was the man who lit up the 'new era' of football with the skills and techniques that influenced many even today, if you go back and watch some of the Euro 2020 games, you will see when teams get a free kick on the edge of the penalty area, behind the wall there's a player laying down, it is because of Ronaldinho that they do this since he coined the technique to hit the ball under the wall instead of going over/around, and so many things that happen in the game today are attributed to him.
Ronaldinho won the ballon d'Or in 2005 and said this: “This award says I’m the best player in the world, but I’m not even the best player at Barcelona" Talking about 18 y/o Messi
At the height of his career Ronaldinho was much better than Messi and Cristiano; It was so good that he won every possible title, then he got sick of playing professionally
Stanley Matthews 1940's Garrincha 1950's Pele/George Best 1960's Johann Cruyff 1970's Maradona 1980's Ronaldo 1990's Ronaldinho 2000's These players were all considered the MOST skillful of their era's (by the people who played with them) with regards to natural talent with the ball. Legacy doesn't just start this century. Matthews was the first World superstar known for his skills. Maradona is the Godfather of freestyle skills.
@@nicknewman7848 haven’t watched much of maradonna but are they really skills?.. most of what i have watched is great change of direction ability. And by skills i mean the types of dribbles not if he had any skill obviously
"He doesn't have the sharpness Christiano has..." 🤯 My head just exploded. The comparison of CR7 and Messi as a reference to Ronaldinho is a sacrilege🤦🏽♂️💀☠
So when he left Barca, Messi took over the #10 which is always the “playmaker” number or the number for the best player on the team, prior to this Messi wore #19 Messi was only 16-19years old when they played together
In tactics ten is the position on the field, mostly the zentral position behind the strikers, with the tactics it can change a little bit, Gerd Müller for example was number 13, Franz Beckenbauer was for a long time the player with number 4 and later number 5, Johan Cruyff switched mostly between number 14 and 9 and Cristiano Ronaldo is usually number 7, Raul playing for Real Madrid had number 7.
@@Jonathan-gl3tf I’d say Raul was def as close to a #10 for Madrid more than anyone else ever besides maybe Ozil. Modric always played too deep same with zidane they’re probably more classic #8
Yes, with Cristiano it’s almost mechanic, and he almost relies on a repertoire that he can chose from for various situations whereas Dinho’s is outrageously natural, freestyle and is improvised from the situation he is in, to great success!
Ronaldinho flows like water. Water flows like the river it is in. Water always finds a way. Cristiano is like a machine his moves were programmed in and chooses the best to use in a situation. Unlike water you can stop a machine. However a machine does what it's programmed to do the same every time. To me though a bit exaggerated sums up what these two players are like.
Ronaldinho was already The best player of the world when Messi got Pro... Also, Messi's first goal was assisted by Ronaldinho... He pass the torch to Messi
5:20 "he looks like he just wants to have fun". And that is extremely true. Ronaldinho was a big party animal, and he would almost always show up to training hangover or still drunk. He was all about having fun. And he really didn't like to train. He was this good with so little effect. That's incredible honestly.
I've got a few suggestions for players you could watch but they're not modern players so may not be of interest to you and for some of them there may not be a lot of footage but they are some of the best so there should be enough. 1. Ronaldo (but not Christiano, I'm talking about the original Ronaldo, the real Ronaldo, R9 the Brazilian Ronaldo) 2. Diego Maradona (he may have broken English hearts with his hand of God goal but he's still one of the greatest players of all time. He might've been flawed in many ways but was still a genius) 3. Paul Gasgoine (probably one of the best players we produced in England. He was very talented but sadly his career was ruined by injury and eventually addiction mainly to alcohol. That aside he was a great player and is a very funny guy. I'd reccomend not only having a look at his ability on the pitch but listening to a few stories about some of his antics away from the pitch too, definitely a few good ones I've heard from his ex Rangers team mate Ally Mcoist) 4. George Best (Another great sadly addiction was a big part of his life like Gazza but he was incredible, so much so that the airport in Belfast is named after him I believe although Irish people will correct me if I'm wrong. An interesting story about Best, towards the end of his career he signed for Scottish club Hibernian. They were hardly getting any crowds for their matches but gained a crowd of over 10,000 for his first game, shows you the power one player had. If you think of how crazy people go for Ronaldo and Messi these days that's what it was like for Best) 5. Pele (nothing needs to be said really just enjoy the greatest player ever to step onto a football pitch) 6. Johan Cruyff (again nothing much needs to be said here. For me he is second best of all time behind Pele, what a player and I'm still trying to get a Dutch shirt with 14 Cruyff on the back. I'm not Dutch but if I had one it would take pride of place in my house but unfortunately it's really hard to get one) There's quite a few I could've recommended but I didn't want to overload you. I'd start with those six and you can get more after
My favourite player of all time I genuinely think he’s the most naturally gifted footballer ever, if he stayed healthy and was more dedicated he could’ve been even greater than he already was
Sounds like you're describing R9 Ronaldo baring the dedication bit. He had the flair and the effectiveness. If we're talking natural gift, R9 is the best ever. Shame his knees gave out. Ronaldinho problems were more about mentality.
He did play with Messi when Messi was young. At that time Messi was wearing number 30 and later 19. When Ronaldinho left, Messi got the number 10. And yes at 18:15 that was Messi.
@@rodrigocortez4092 Ele tá certo. Pare de procurar pelo em ovo e encrenca onde não é pra existir. O samba é o modo que os europeus entendem o movimento do futebol do Ronaldinho, a influência no talento dos jogadores brasileiros, para eles, vem do samba. Os narradores europeus utilizam a palavra samba. Todo tempo é assim e você vem enfiar problemas que são nossos e não deles nesse vídeo sobre um dos nossos grandes e esforçados trabalhadores da indústria futebolís tica. Porte-se com decência, jovem.
Its beautiful how innocent you are, I suspect you're going to get a little hell in the comments :D I would say that Ronaldinho is responsible for more young people getting interested in football, than any other person ever. He played with such beauty, executed the hardest tricks to get through the defense and still seemed like he does all of this just for fun, like he really loves footbal, same as we all do as little kids, when we first start playing. It was amazing to watch him play. He also has all the titles you can imagine, more important ones than Christiano or Messi. If you enjoy the curved shots, I would highly recommend to check at least one of the legendary free kicks from Roberto Carlos. And since you enjoy Christiano Ronaldo, you might also enjoy the real Ronaldo... Ronaldo Nazario, number 9 Brazil :) I really like your content, keep up the nice work!
Ronaldo Nazario, the real Ronaldo, inspired us to play football too, just like the Brazilian National team at that time, all legends + they won Brasil's 5th Word Cup in 2002. I already have goosebumps for 2022 although i'm against Qatar being the host for the World Cup. i'ts gonna be lit and super hype. Quaranteed.. like always
It's just now that a lot of Americans on internet admit getting interested in Football... like we say in French.. "Mieux vaut tard que jamais". Spaß! xD
And i'm 50% sad that they didn't grow up like the rest of the world, together with Football leagues, clubs and the set rendez-vous every 4 yrs for the World Cup, where we feel like the whole World stops, even geopolitical conflicts just for this event, imagine the final match. Every citizen, of the qualified countries, become one to cheer for their country. The magic of Football.... and then comes 'Soccer'.. -_- mehh
This is a hard-to-watch reaction by someone who still doesn't get the intricacies of football. But hopefully she'll get there. SoGal should really sit down n watch football along with someone who actually understands this sport.
Ronaldinho had: - Goals - Assists - Speed - Strength - Power - Free kicks - Vision - Dribbling - Trophies People rule him out as the GOAT because his prime lasted like 4 years, but during that time it was like watching a magician. He wore No. 10 for FC Barcelona and was the predecessor to Messi. There's a quote that goes "Football can make anyone smile, but Ronaldinho can make the football smile". It speaks of his ball control, skills, and flare, that left people in awe because it had never been seen before. 7:44 - In this clasico, Real Madrid fans gave him a standing ovation as they acknowledged they were in the presence of a great. The thing that makes this even more chilling is that Ronaldinho was thrashing them in their own home. Sadly his father passed away, and that appeared to be the beginning of the end for him. By that time he had won about every trophy there was to win, so people say he lost a lot of drive and discipline, which caused him to go on the decline. He is still one of the greatest without a doubt.
@@boss180888 And thats why Ronaldinho can't be considered one of the greatest ever by anyone with common sense. Ronaldo earned his way to the top, and still works harder than everyone else at 36. Ronaldinho had the natural talent but cared more about drinking and partying than playing football, and barely had 5 good years in his career as a result.
@@tensemurm5924 lol u must be fun at parties. Football isn’t all about numbers… it’s about what emotions they bring to you also. By those measures, for me no one goes on top of dinho
Why's she saying Ronaldinho got Cristiano moves lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Ronaldinho is GOD of these skill moves and he did all those moves way before when Cristiano wasn't even professional. It should be like, Ronaldo got "A BIT" of Ronaldinho moves and not the other way round.
"Slower". Erh... You were watching mostly slowed down video, so you can _see_ what he actually does. :) In a way, he was a perfect mix between C. Ronaldo's and Messi's features, but he came to fame earlier than both of these, and sadly, his years career was shorter than those two's.
Footballers in Ronaldinho's days (up to 2010) were all like BULLS, such muscle strong and fast runners they had to be. Ronaldinho himself (like Ronaldo Fenômeno) was one of the great synthesis of it - and his carrer's apex marked the excel of that Era in the sport.
7:27 he's hitting the crossbar. It's called the crossbar challenge. Very hard to hit because it's basically just a small rod. He's doing it easily multiple times
There's this story about a dutch football team, bad weather and a beverage can and the crossbar. That's how i remember hearing it: The weather was bad, and the players didn't want to train because of the rain and them considering themselves trained enough. The Trainer back then (Ernst Happel) an "old grumpy austrian (and a pretty good player in his time) argued that he would let them skip the trianing if they were in fact good enough. He told one player to place a coke can on one end of the cross bar. (this was at a time when the goal bars weren't all rounded bars like today) He then placed the ball at the 16m box and shot the can off. He then said that every player that could do that could skip the training. The ball and can were placed again, and each player tried. -> All of them had to attend training. ;-) (One of the former players told it in a TV docu 20 years or so later when Ernst Happel died. That's when i heard it in the 90's)
At the end when you said "That's not Messi", that was Messi :) Ronaldinho is the player who set Messi up for his first goal ever - he actually set him up for the same exact goal twice that game because the first one was ruled offside lol.
Short version for the timeline: in the 90's there was a famous brazilian player called Ronaldo, then came Ronaldinho (smallification of the name Ronaldo if i am not mistaken) and then came Christiano Ronaldo and Messi. Also i, for the last 20 years or so was of the impression that it is pronounced like "Ronaldinio". (with a short i before the last o) 🤷♂️
Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were the same generation. Its that Ronaldinho only became more known, and top player later in his career. While Ronaldo (9) was at the top and world wide phenomenon early on at 19. And its pronounced Ronaldinho. Im Portuguese.
@@knightheaven8992 Thanks for the explanation of the pronounciation! Same Generation, yes, but 4 years age difference. And as you said Ronaldo was at his top at age 19, that makes for the time difference in international recognition.
@@nirfz lol he didnt explaine anythuing he jut wrote the name...i also know it as ronaldin"io ponouned ,thats what the commentators screamed...they should know..
@@DNAisWookieUSER To me his last sentence reads like he confirms what the pronouciation check in the video revealed. Commentators? That reminds me of "Lech Walesa" and the many ways german and austrian news readers and reporters pronounced. 😂 To this day i don't know how polish people would pronounce it.
I'm so happy you reacted to Ronaldinho! He made football look fun and just amazing to watch that's also a reason why everyone loved him. You should watch a video with Messi and Ronaldinho playing together if you wanna see more of them!
There is someone known as Iniesta, which might be worth a reaction. To someone who's never played soccer, he might look unspecial but he was as good as Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho. The vision, mentality, presence, creativity, intuition, awareness... this guy bossed the midfield, it was like he was watching the game through the stands,... like for us it all looks easy but being there changes the game, remember unlike basketball the ground is huge and there are more players, you cannot constantly turn your head around and tiredness also plays a factor. But Iniesta transcended all of that. This guy was pretty much playing the sport like a video game like he had 3 eyes or something. You should watch the video named "Art of Defending" to learn how some of the best defending looks like. Ronaldinho played in a role known as Attacking Midfielder... and to be specific, a creative midfielder. Most of his job is to take the ball ahead by being creative and make sure it reaches the striker. He was just so good that he scored a ton himself. He didn't defend much. Other examples of midfielders like him are Zinedine Zidane, who played for Real Madrid. Also, Iniesta is considered one of the best in this role, he used to defend more and not be as flashy or end up scoring much, but Iniesta was a big role in FC Barcelona's 2 runs where they were deemed the most unplayable and scary team to play against.
True..Ronaldinho was effective AND entertaining .. His speed and balance is also underrated by many.. He had it all ..the technique, brain, skills but also the charm !! He will always be Nr1 for me!!! Don`t miss to react to Roberto Carlos..an other Brazilian with amazing Freekicks!!
Basically Ronaldinho's style is similar to the OG ronaldo but improved I'd say (although ronaldo was better players overall). With that said, Christiano copied lots of his moves as did many other players. They are very hard to do at the level Ronaldinho constantly did.
Just so she doesn't get more confused, there was another Brazilian player named Ronaldo (yes there's a lot of Ronaldos) you should react to him as well... Was one of the most skillfull players of all time and also am amazing goalscorer
@@athumen For me its easy. Ronaldo is the brazilian, Cristiano is from Portugal. Ronaldo was a mixture of pure tank and pure skill. Problem with super speed and super weight is your ankles and your knees cant take it. This is what was demize of original Ronaldo, probably the best player ever.
You need to watch "zlatan, he came to visit" he's the Swedish player who has basically won a league title every year for the last 20 years and is still playing at age 38
Zlatan is unreal. No one has scored sicker goals as a full on "big dude" striker. His passing is waaay under-rated too. Those one touch volley goals by Zlatan... in traffic from crazy angles that no one else can make will probably put her to sleep. She gets an A for effort--but I don't think she grasps the insane, generation-defining, skill and all time great she's watching. To be honest, it's mostly people who dedicated a lot of time to the game or watched waaay too much football (soccer) who know that stuff just doesn't happen that often... You can go games and not see a Ronaldinho or Zlatan highlight... They did it frequently and on the biggest stages, against people who are paid to stop them, even if it means playing dirty.
Cristiano Ronaldo can only dream that he could be as good as Ronaldinho was. Ronaldinho was playing with a heavier ball, in a time when it was a far more physical game and he had nearly every player on the other team kicking chunks out of him. And yet he still managed to play the greatest style of football in the game, Messi is the modern Ronaldinho because they were born with their talent. Cristiano Ronaldo has spent his entire career trying to imitate Ronaldinho's natural magic. Plus, when you can do all of the magic whilst being kicked to pieces and stay on your feet, that makes you one of the three best of all time.
I think you are being a bit unfair. Cristiano Ronaldo has a lot of records and is undoubtedly one of the best, most consistent scorers the game has ever seen. He also trains more and is all in all more dedicated to his craft than any other player. It's sad that you just want to hate on him, as if he ever did something wrong. He always supports his fans
@@almerindaromeira8352 I'm not hating on him, I'm not a teenager. What I was pointing out is that he is not in the same class as a player such as Ronaldinho, not does he exude the joy that Ronaldinho or Messi do. To him it's a business, to the other it's the joy of the game.
@@almerindaromeira8352 Scoringwise id say Ronaldo is way ahead of Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho is the whole package tho scoring, passing and also making everyone around him better whereas Ronaldo is more of a pure goalscorer. But thats just my opinion ofc. Both of them definitely up there with the greatest, i prefer Ronaldinho myself tho.
@@almerindaromeira8352 I know the statistics, and yes he has scored more. Messi has more assists, trophy's and is a play maker and team player. I'm not saying Ronaldo isn't good, because he is. What I'm saying is players like Pele, Ronaldinho and Messi just naturally flow with the ball. Ronaldo has had to work at his craft every day of his career, and I do admire the dedication, but I haven't seen the joy.
Dear Lady To me as a german i grew up with football. There are millions of fans on every continent who cheer for their national teams. It is estimated that there are four billion football fans worldwide, a considerable number of whom appear in front of the ball themselves. Especially in Europe and South America, football is like a popular religion. I love your interest THANK YOU 😍
Plzzzz react to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the most spectacular players of all time. You will learn a lot of things Tip: Zlatan Ibrahimovic craziest skills and impossible goals I need to just throw it in, I really injoy watching your videos❤️❤️Lot of love to U
i am waching this video and still remember the other reaction to CR7 that she did @nii adjei dsane is right CR7 robotized Ronaldinho yeah he is fast but if you compare the two you instantly notice that CR7 is much too rigid and it looks forced and Ronaldinho is fluid and generaly makes his moves from out of nowhere when you least espect it he is much more freeflowing and smooth and to cuote another in the comments CR7 has a bag of tricks that he uses in certain situations while Ronaldinho just does whatever happens to work to the situation that he finds himself in and he generaly does it better than CR7
Yeah its true that ronaldo's moves are a bit robotic and less pretty to look at, but ronaldo had his own spin to those moves and generally ronaldo had the better results. Ronaldinho is obviously one of the greats but ronaldo is pretty far ahead in terms of success.
@LEOMESHI well I'm not really in mood for arguing over some footballer who is not even from my country, but if this is the biggest lie you've ever heard then you should probably check on your girl and mates. cz you are way too simpleminded.
barishailla mofo WTF Ronaldinho is way better than CR7 the only reason that Ronaldinho is not playing right now is that CR7 is way younger than Ronaldinho for reference when Ronaldinho started playing in Barcelona CR7 barely started playing and got sended to Manchester United a year later making his copying of Ronaldinho even worse
ronaldinho (pronounced ro-nal-di-nyo) was messi's mentor at barcelona (last clip was him assisting messi's first goal) and i think everyone can agree he was a joy to watch because he really loved the game even his oppenents used to applaud him, he won most major honours but unfortunately he was a bit of a party animal which meant his career didnt last as long.
@@almerindaromeira8352 the spelling of the pronounciation may be different but we are pronouncing it exactly the same, if youre gonna stand on your high horse like that then this conversation will go no further
@@jacklobb3510 But you are neither pronouncing it correctly or the same way. And frankly It's pretty disrespectful to not even try or to accept advice from native speakers.
The shot he makes to get over the goalie is called "chipping the goalie", a bit like a golfer chips on to the green, the bit about Ronaldo being serious is because of his ego, i.e. he thinks he's "Gods gift"
Dinho is way flashier than Ronaldo and remained that way throughout his career. Ronaldo took a lot of that out of his game later on in his career. And you’re wrong to say he doesn’t have the same sharpness. CR7 is more ‘robotic’ in his movement, Dinho has a much more of a free flowing style - that samba style where he looks like he’s dancing. Both styles are equally effective. Also, you’ve never seen Ronaldo assist his own bicycle kick, there are levels to this. There were plenty of things in here that you’ve never seen Ronaldo do, maybe you just don’t have the eye to pick up on them.
So glad you got around to Ronaldinho. Ronaldo and Messi are by far the best players in the world currently... but Ronaldinho was pure magic to watch. Played purely for the love of playing. Could do things with the ball nobody has seen before or since.
Ronaldinho was a novelty to european football. He came at a very young age and skyrocketed at Barcelona (red/blue jersey). the yellow/blue jersey = brazil national team in which he carried alot. He was a very humble and fun player to watch. VERY skilled and a great teamplayer. Hard to find anything negative to say about him. AND he was the ONLY player so far even the enemy fans clapped when he scored as he was so much appreciated by everyone. He played with Messi (when Messi was VERY young in the early 2000). He did what Cristiano Ronaldo does but 10 years earlier.
In that free kick the ball went under the wall. The wall will usually jump, which means that its possible to get the ball underneath it. This is why there is a modern trend of players literally laying down behind the wall at a free kick.
Ronaldinho was a great showman, I never saw a player like him, happy, funny and a historic player. The futbol never was the same since Ronaldinho rised up on the sport.
One thing, it's rare to find people who don't like Ronaldinho. In my entire life I have never met or heard anyone say they don't like Ronaldinho. This man inspired a whole generation and more
Ronaldo (an amazing player of course) is so in love with his own mythology that his sense of entitlement now has to travel in the hold on international flights because it's so weighty. Ronaldinho, on the other hand, plays spectacular football and knows he's amazing, but seems incredulous that it's bought him money (lots), women (lots), fame (lots) and cake (lots). Hey - we all like cake right?!
Such a dumbass take. Ronaldo has absolutely no sense of entitlement - he's never stopped working to stay at the top, even now when he's 36 years old. Ronaldinho, on the other hand, stopped caring about football as soon as it allowed him to party. He was a spoilt brat even before Barcelona. Great player (for about 4 years), but felt entitled ever since he made it to Europe.
Barcelona is 💩 now.... They're in billions of debt, struggling to keep messi, terrible record at the UCL in recent times, had a terrible former president who went to jail, Made Really bad signings.
Messi is pure talent, born to play football, he is not human, he is an alien who feeds on football, he makes the impossible seem easy to do, and he does it almost every day, he does it better than everyone: he scores more goals than anyone, he gives more goal assists than anyone else. He is the one who plays the best (for 15 years) and also makes your team better. Never in my life will I see a player better than him for so long. Cristiano Ronaldo is the insatiable search for perfection, working hard to have the perfect physique, the perfect power, the perfect technique, the perfect kick ... he is so insatiable that he is only happy when he is the one who scores the goals of his team. He is the perfect egoism of the perfect athlete. Ronaldinho is magic, he is the most fun player to watch that I have ever encountered in my life, he plays and has fun like a child, he moves like a dancer, but his technique is so impressive that when he plays with the ball he looks like a prestiditator, a magician that drives defenders crazy. What a pity that his magic shone with fullness so little time.
From 2002/3 to 2006, Ronaldinho was untouchable. Every game, he would do something you had never seen before, he really was entertaining. Footballers should make you smile, Ronaldo doesn't make smile, Messi and Ronaldinho most certainly do.
RONALDINO, played from as boy, on sand or dirt streets, in Brazil learning these skills takes years and he was one of many of the brilliant Brazil team of the past.
Ronaldinho,[note 1] is a Brazilian former professional footballer and current ambassador for Barcelona. He played mostly as an attacking midfielder, but was also deployed as a winger. Often considered one of the best players of his generation and regarded by many as one of the greatest of all time, Ronaldinho won two FIFA World Player of the Year awards and a Ballon d'Or. A global icon of the sport, he was renowned for his technical skills, creativity and dribbling ability, as well as his use of tricks, feints, overhead kicks, no-look passes and accuracy from free-kicks. Ronaldinho made his career debut for Grêmio, in 1998. At age 20, he moved to Paris Saint-Germain in France before signing for Barcelona in 2003. In his second season with Barcelona, he won his first FIFA World Player of the Year award as Barcelona won the 2004-05 La Liga title. The season that followed is considered one of the best in his career as he was integral in Barcelona winning the 2005-06 UEFA Champions League, their first in fourteen years, and another La Liga title, giving Ronaldinho his first career double, receiving the 2005 Ballon d'Or and his second FIFA World Player of the Year in the process. After scoring two spectacular solo goals in the first 2005-06 El Clásico, Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player, after Diego Maradona in 1983, to receive a standing ovation from Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu. Following a second-place La Liga finish to Real Madrid in the 2006-07 season and an injury-plagued 2007-08 season, Ronaldinho departed Barcelona to join AC Milan, where he won the 2010-11 Serie A. He then returned to Brazil to play for Flamengo in 2011 and Atlético Mineiro a year later where he won the 2013 Copa Libertadores, before moving to Mexico to play for Querétaro and then back to Brazil to play for Fluminense in 2015. Ronaldinho accumulated numerous other individual awards in his career. He was included in the UEFA Team of the Year and the FIFA World XI three times each, and was named UEFA Club Footballer of the Year for the 2005-06 season and South American Footballer of the Year in 2013. In 2004, he was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players. In his international career with Brazil, Ronaldinho earned 97 caps and scored 33 goals and represented his country in two FIFA World Cups. After debuting with the Seleção by winning the 1999 Copa América, he was an integral part of the 2002 FIFA World Cup-winning team, starring alongside Ronaldo and Rivaldo in an attacking trio, and was named in the FIFA World Cup All-Star Team. As captain, he led his team to the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup title and was named man of the match in the final. He also captained the Brazil Olympic team to a bronze medal in men's football at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
I started taking football more seriously when I saw Ronaldinho for the first time on the TV when I was a kid. When he was on the pitch you knew the game would be fun to watch. Shame partying and the star lifestyle took him from the football carrier he had. If he trained like Cristiano does he would be on par with him and Messi when it come to longevity. After Ronaldinhos decline I saw the same spark in Cristiano when he was playing. Ronaldinho was god gifted when it came to controlling the ball and football in general. Whereas Cristiano grinded the hell out and got to Ronaldinhos level and honestly surpassed him way beyond. But yes Cristiano basically took the flashiness of Ronaldinhos play and combined it with great athleticism and work ethics. Both are legends, because they were are and will motivate young players to be like them.
Messi and Ronaldinho played together for a few seasons, as right and left wingers respectively, linking up with striker, Samuel Eto’o. Messi was just 16 when he made his 1st team debut for Barcelona and after his first training session, Ronaldinho told his team mates that he believed one day Messi would be a better player than himself.
The great thing about Ronaldinho was that it always looked like he was playing for fun. Not for money, not for fame, just for fun. You can tell ´cause he´s smiling most of the time :D
- Near the beginning of the video when the ball was going back to him its because he was hitting the crossbar to send the ball back to himself (which for many people hitting the crossbar alone is hard enough but to get the ball back to yourself is even harder). - Ronaldinho was playing for Barcelona before Messi made the first team and had to number 10 shirt which was passed onto Messi when Ronaldinho left (also as another note Ronaldo skills would've come from Ronaldinho as he used them originally one of the reasons Ronaldinho is football's greatest entertainment is because he was one of the first big players to do those kinds of skill moves). - The lob over a goalkeeper is just called a chip shot, and for the freekick the players in the wall jumped so the ball went underneath the wall. Also as an added fun fact in case you didn't know Ronaldinho is his nickname because a Ronaldo already played for Brazil and his name is actually Ronaldo he went by Ronaldinho which means Little Ronaldo As for defending against players like Ronaldinho its incredibly difficult and as someone who used to play as a defender when I was younger the main 'tactic' really is to watch the ball as a lot of skill moves involve players moving their legs around/over the ball so I was taught to try and focus on the ball as the ball is my target to get it away from the player but it also just comes down with try to predict the skill a player is going to do and maybe get a little lucky on the way, another tactic is to try and crowd those kind of players so they don't have the room to move about but as you've seen with Messi sometimes even that doesn't work.
Born and raised in Madeira, Ronaldo began his senior club career playing for Sporting CP, before signing with Manchester United in 2003, aged 18, winning the FA Cup in his first season. He would also go onto win three consecutive Premier League titles, the Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup; at age 23, he won his first Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo was the subject of the then-most expensive association football transfer when he signed for Real Madrid in 2009 in a transfer worth €94 million (£80 million), where he won 15 trophies, including two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey, four Champions Leagues, and became the club's all-time top goalscorer. He also finished runner-up for the Ballon d'Or three times, behind Lionel Messi (his perceived career rival), and won back-to-back Ballons d'Or in 2013 and 2014, and again in 2016 and 2017. In 2018, Ronaldo signed for Juventus in a transfer worth an initial €100 million (£88 million), the most expensive transfer for an Italian club and the most expensive transfer for a player over 30 years old. He won two Serie A titles, two Supercoppa Italiana, and a Coppa Italia in his first three seasons with the club. Ronaldo made his senior international debut for Portugal in 2003 at age 18, and has since earned over 170 caps, including appearing and scoring in eleven major tournaments, becoming Portugal's most capped player and his country's all-time top goalscorer. He scored his first international goal at Euro 2004, where he helped Portugal reach the final, and assumed full captaincy of the national team in July 2008. In 2015, Ronaldo was named the best Portuguese player of all time by the Portuguese Football Federation. The following year, he led Portugal to their first triumph in a major tournament by winning Euro 2016, and received the Silver Boot as the second-highest goalscorer of the tournament. He also led them to victory in the inaugural UEFA Nations League in 2019, and later received the Golden Boot as top scorer of Euro 2020. One of the most marketable and famous athletes in the world, Ronaldo was ranked the world's highest-paid athlete by Forbes in 2016 and 2017 and the world's most famous athlete by ESPN from 2016 to 2019. Time included him on their list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2014. He is the first footballer and the third sportsman to earn $1 billion in their career.
Late to the party, but still here. I wouldn't say he doesn't have Ronaldo's sharpness. It's more so that his level and skill is so high that he can move slower and more relaxed because he knows he will overcome them anyway. Let me put it another way: Cristiano is like a smart kid taking a test but putting all of his focus on his paper, double checking his answers, and hyperventilating with urgency to finish with the best score possible. Ronaldinho was the genius that didn't study, showed up to take his test 15 minutes late, hummed, smilled, and was just chillen the whole time without a care in the world only to finish before Crstiano and get a better score than him.
Ronaldinho is Messi's mentor. When Messi was 19 years old he played with Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho was the number 10 until he left Barcelona and gave that number to Messi. Lol I remember because I grew up in Spain from 2001 to 2006. And Ronaldinho is way older than Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo learned those moves from Ronaldinho. And on top of winning everything with Barcelona, he has also won 2 World Cups with the Brazilian National team. A straight up legend. He is still my favorite player ever. Love his free spirit way of play.
Ronaldinho was a traditional "number 10" player. The number 10 player (attacking midfielder) is mainly responsible for creating goal opportunities. These are usually extremely skillful players in the art of dribbling and passing. They are the players with the best creativity and vision in the game. They will also create scoring opportunities for themselves but their main purpose is to create for the striker.
5 years of Ronaldinho's Magic and Stamina, doesn't compare to anyother player, the difference of just doing tricks an pass the ball back to your defence ..... And the magic of make others fall during the 90 minutes ❤️

You saying he is more like Cristiano: Nah, he is nothing like any other player. No any other players can match his skills.
the bit when you where confused he was hitting the crossbar with the ball and it was coming back to him
What happened to
"The end is near"
Reaction
Have to be next
From that u will get a little bit clear picture of leagues, cl
And journey of both the GOATs
So weird seeing these iconic goals in reverse! Or flipped, or whatever...
He was the greatest of all time. Ronaldinho was with Messi in the same team, but Messi was like 19 years old or something like that. Messi was just starting his career back then. So Ronaldinho wear the no. 10 shirt and Messi was often a substitute in that team back in 2004-2006. That was Ronaldinho's prime. The thing is Ronaldinho liked to party a lot, so he didn't maintain that high level for too long. But in his prime, he was greater than Messi and Cr. Ronaldo.
Ronaldinho doesn't have Cristiano moves. Cristiano has Ronaldinho moves :)
Nope.

lol! I stopped the video at 5:10min and scrolled down to write exactly this comment! Word by word!
@@hurtigheinz3790 Same my blood pressure raised, it does every time I hear her praise the Ronaldo that isnt the Brazilian Ronaldo
Fun fact: Ronaldinho made the assist for messi’s first career goal

Fun Fact 3: Messi’s first goal with Ronaldinho’s assist is the very last scene in the video she’s reacting to.
Fun Fact 3: fun fact.
"he has a lot of the same moves as Cristiano...", well, Cristiando had to learn from somewhere, Ronaldinho is Cristiano's wikipedia source
👏👏👏
Very well said!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
100% accurate !!!
Spme skills exist from over 50 years ago, so all the players that use usually some skills like the most famous or basic, they learned them from somewhere(sorry for bad english)
Probably the most technically gifted footballer of the last 30 years. A true Brazilian ideal.
yes i gree but don't forget the phenomenon ronaldo ithink if he was her today i can't imagine what will happen
when this guy hit the world stage, CR7 and Messi were barely out of kindergarten to coin an american term, this guy was the man who lit up the 'new era' of football with the skills and techniques that influenced many even today, if you go back and watch some of the Euro 2020 games, you will see when teams get a free kick on the edge of the penalty area, behind the wall there's a player laying down, it is because of Ronaldinho that they do this since he coined the technique to hit the ball under the wall instead of going over/around, and so many things that happen in the game today are attributed to him.
For me , with bergkamp, the most entertaining players ive seen playing football live.
Great comment

At the height of his career Ronaldinho was much better than Messi and Cristiano; It was so good that he won every possible title, then he got sick of playing professionally

Johann Cruyff 1970's
Maradona 1980's

These players were all considered the MOST skillful of their era's (by the people who played with them) with regards to natural talent with the ball. Legacy doesn't just start this century. Matthews was the first World superstar known for his skills. Maradona is the Godfather of freestyle skills.

"He doesn't have the sharpness Christiano has..." 🤯 My head just exploded. The comparison of CR7 and Messi as a reference to Ronaldinho is a sacrilege🤦🏽♂️💀☠
the majority of middlefielders are facilitators for the strikers, but ronaldinho was also a great scorer so his job was basically do everything
Rijkaard prob just told ronaldinho "do you" before the game
Except defending.
There simply isn't any defence against talent like this, you've just got to admire it.
So when he left Barca, Messi took over the #10 which is always the “playmaker” number or the number for the best player on the team, prior to this Messi wore #19 Messi was only 16-19years old when they played together
In tactics ten is the position on the field, mostly the zentral position behind the strikers, with the tactics it can change a little bit, Gerd Müller for example was number 13, Franz Beckenbauer was for a long time the player with number 4 and later number 5, Johan Cruyff switched mostly between number 14 and 9 and Cristiano Ronaldo is usually number 7, Raul playing for Real Madrid had number 7.
@@robertzander9723 CR7 and Raul never were a "classic 10" tactically. Ronaldo mostly a winger and Raul mostly 9, but both played the opposite aswell.
He also wore #30 in his first season
@@Jonathan-gl3tf I’d say Raul was def as close to a #10 for Madrid more than anyone else ever besides maybe Ozil.
Modric always played too deep same with zidane they’re probably more classic #8
Ronaldinho is the most technical player to ever grace this earth,this man is what all footballers inspire to be
He doesnt have Cristiano sharpness, he is smooth and flow with the ball, Thats exactly whats makes him better than Cristiano, thats the way i think.
Yes, with Cristiano it’s almost mechanic, and he almost relies on a repertoire that he can chose from for various situations whereas Dinho’s is outrageously natural, freestyle and is improvised from the situation he is in, to great success!
Ronaldo has never had the skill level of Ronaldinho
also ronaldino's moves were way more effective at dribbling past defenders than ronaldo.
Ronaldinho flows like water. Water flows like the river it is in. Water always finds a way. Cristiano is like a machine his moves were programmed in and chooses the best to use in a situation. Unlike water you can stop a machine. However a machine does what it's programmed to do the same every time. To me though a bit exaggerated sums up what these two players are like.
@@noahrussell2043 Hard work > Natural talent every time. Their careers prove it too.
i dont get why people downplay hard work so much
Ronaldinho was already The best player of the world when Messi got Pro... Also, Messi's first goal was assisted by Ronaldinho... He pass the torch to Messi
The last clip was a 17 year old messi with his first ever professional career goal
A good way to end the video with the master leaving it over to the adept.
5:20 "he looks like he just wants to have fun". And that is extremely true. Ronaldinho was a big party animal, and he would almost always show up to training hangover or still drunk. He was all about having fun. And he really didn't like to train. He was this good with so little effect. That's incredible honestly.
Finally the real GOAT
The 3rd best player of his generation.
"He looks like he just wants to have fun" Most apt description.
He was an offensive midfielder. When Ronaldinho left FC Barcelona, Messi takes the 10 dorsal
Attacking Midfielder. He was also an outstanding finisher.
I've got a few suggestions for players you could watch but they're not modern players so may not be of interest to you and for some of them there may not be a lot of footage but they are some of the best so there should be enough.
1. Ronaldo (but not Christiano, I'm talking about the original Ronaldo, the real Ronaldo, R9 the Brazilian Ronaldo)
2. Diego Maradona (he may have broken English hearts with his hand of God goal but he's still one of the greatest players of all time. He might've been flawed in many ways but was still a genius)
3. Paul Gasgoine (probably one of the best players we produced in England. He was very talented but sadly his career was ruined by injury and eventually addiction mainly to alcohol. That aside he was a great player and is a very funny guy. I'd reccomend not only having a look at his ability on the pitch but listening to a few stories about some of his antics away from the pitch too, definitely a few good ones I've heard from his ex Rangers team mate Ally Mcoist)
4. George Best (Another great sadly addiction was a big part of his life like Gazza but he was incredible, so much so that the airport in Belfast is named after him I believe although Irish people will correct me if I'm wrong. An interesting story about Best, towards the end of his career he signed for Scottish club Hibernian. They were hardly getting any crowds for their matches but gained a crowd of over 10,000 for his first game, shows you the power one player had. If you think of how crazy people go for Ronaldo and Messi these days that's what it was like for Best)
5. Pele (nothing needs to be said really just enjoy the greatest player ever to step onto a football pitch)
6. Johan Cruyff (again nothing much needs to be said here. For me he is second best of all time behind Pele, what a player and I'm still trying to get a Dutch shirt with 14 Cruyff on the back. I'm not Dutch but if I had one it would take pride of place in my house but unfortunately it's really hard to get one)
There's quite a few I could've recommended but I didn't want to overload you. I'd start with those six and you can get more after
Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp, Gordon Banks, Peter Schmeichel, Ian Rush, Jimmy Greaves ... the list is basically endless
Man great list but what about Henry? Shearer?
@@kevinbarr2095 All very good suggestions
@@jackwallace6899 Yes very good suggestions but as previously mentioned I don't want to overload her with great players ... the list is endless
I'm so glad you put Gazza in there Matt, was lucky enough to watch him every week at Rangers, what a player
My favourite player of all time I genuinely think he’s the most naturally gifted footballer ever, if he stayed healthy and was more dedicated he could’ve been even greater than he already was
100%
Another naturally gifted footballer I just liked to watch playing was Rául.
Sounds like you're describing R9 Ronaldo baring the dedication bit. He had the flair and the effectiveness. If we're talking natural gift, R9 is the best ever. Shame his knees gave out. Ronaldinho problems were more about mentality.
Absolutely right. Talent and hard work goes hand in hand.
The fact that he never wanted be the best it's what makes him so special. You can see that he is just having fun by playing soccer
The Messi era starts with him on the team , and a lot of Christianos moves is his.
Yeap could never be more accurate
He did play with Messi when Messi was young. At that time Messi was wearing number 30 and later 19. When Ronaldinho left, Messi got the number 10. And yes at 18:15 that was Messi.
He’s probably the flashiest player ever, more than cr7 for sure.
Brazilian football is known for it's artistic style. The dribbles, aerial play and relaxed attitude

Its beautiful how innocent you are, I suspect you're going to get a little hell in the comments :D
I would say that Ronaldinho is responsible for more young people getting interested in football, than any other person ever. He played with such beauty, executed the hardest tricks to get through the defense and still seemed like he does all of this just for fun, like he really loves footbal, same as we all do as little kids, when we first start playing. It was amazing to watch him play. He also has all the titles you can imagine, more important ones than Christiano or Messi.
If you enjoy the curved shots, I would highly recommend to check at least one of the legendary free kicks from Roberto Carlos. And since you enjoy Christiano Ronaldo, you might also enjoy the real Ronaldo... Ronaldo Nazario, number 9 Brazil :)
I really like your content, keep up the nice work!
Pele or Maradona might have something to say about that. But yeah Ronaldinho is my second favourite player ever,, after Beckham.
Junihno a good shout for nasty free kicks 👌
Ronaldo Nazario, the real Ronaldo, inspired us to play football too, just like the Brazilian National team at that time, all legends + they won Brasil's 5th Word Cup in 2002. I already have goosebumps for 2022 although i'm against Qatar being the host for the World Cup. i'ts gonna be lit and super hype. Quaranteed.. like always
It's just now that a lot of Americans on internet admit getting interested in Football... like we say in French.. "Mieux vaut tard que jamais". Spaß! xD
And i'm 50% sad that they didn't grow up like the rest of the world, together with Football leagues, clubs and the set rendez-vous every 4 yrs for the World Cup, where we feel like the whole World stops, even geopolitical conflicts just for this event, imagine the final match. Every citizen, of the qualified countries, become one to cheer for their country. The magic of Football.... and then comes 'Soccer'.. -_- mehh
This is a hard-to-watch reaction by someone who still doesn't get the intricacies of football. But hopefully she'll get there. SoGal should really sit down n watch football along with someone who actually understands this sport.
In the last one was young Messi and his first goal for Barca.
and that was asisted by Ronaldinho
Ronaldinho had:
- Goals
- Assists
- Speed
- Strength
- Power
- Free kicks
- Vision
- Dribbling
- Trophies
People rule him out as the GOAT because his prime lasted like 4 years, but during that time it was like watching a magician.
He wore No. 10 for FC Barcelona and was the predecessor to Messi.
There's a quote that goes "Football can make anyone smile, but Ronaldinho can make the football smile".
It speaks of his ball control, skills, and flare, that left people in awe because it had never been seen before.
7:44 - In this clasico, Real Madrid fans gave him a standing ovation as they acknowledged they were in the presence of a great.
The thing that makes this even more chilling is that Ronaldinho was thrashing them in their own home.
Sadly his father passed away, and that appeared to be the beginning of the end for him.
By that time he had won about every trophy there was to win, so people say he lost a lot of drive and discipline, which caused him to go on the decline.
He is still one of the greatest without a doubt.

@@tensemurm5924 It's common sense lmao. She looked up his age at the beginning of the video and these clips are much older than the CR7 one.
"Slower". Erh... You were watching mostly slowed down video, so you can _see_ what he actually does. :) In a way, he was a perfect mix between C. Ronaldo's and Messi's features, but he came to fame earlier than both of these, and sadly, his years career was shorter than those two's.
Footballers in Ronaldinho's days (up to 2010) were all like BULLS, such muscle strong and fast runners they had to be. Ronaldinho himself (like Ronaldo Fenômeno) was one of the great synthesis of it - and his carrer's apex marked the excel of that Era in the sport.
Ronaldinho, what a legend! He was the entertainer of any game he plays in.
7:27 he's hitting the crossbar. It's called the crossbar challenge. Very hard to hit because it's basically just a small rod. He's doing it easily multiple times
It's fake dude...
There's this story about a dutch football team, bad weather and a beverage can and the crossbar.
That's how i remember hearing it: The weather was bad, and the players didn't want to train because of the rain and them considering themselves trained enough.
The Trainer back then (Ernst Happel) an "old grumpy austrian (and a pretty good player in his time) argued that he would let them skip the trianing if they were in fact good enough. He told one player to place a coke can on one end of the cross bar. (this was at a time when the goal bars weren't all rounded bars like today) He then placed the ball at the 16m box and shot the can off. He then said that every player that could do that could skip the training. The ball and can were placed again, and each player tried.
-> All of them had to attend training. ;-)
(One of the former players told it in a TV docu 20 years or so later when Ernst Happel died. That's when i heard it in the 90's)
Yeah that's just a TV advert, but it's a testament to his skill that many, many people to this day think its legit.
@@WTL-f5u The only person who can that for real is Robbie Fowler
Its also fake.
At the end when you said "That's not Messi", that was Messi :) Ronaldinho is the player who set Messi up for his first goal ever - he actually set him up for the same exact goal twice that game because the first one was ruled offside lol.
Cristiano Ronaldo has Ronaldinho moves not the other way around. He was way more legendary before Ronaldo came around
Short version for the timeline: in the 90's there was a famous brazilian player called Ronaldo, then came Ronaldinho (smallification of the name Ronaldo if i am not mistaken) and then came Christiano Ronaldo and Messi.
Also i, for the last 20 years or so was of the impression that it is pronounced like "Ronaldinio". (with a short i before the last o) 🤷♂️
Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were the same generation. Its that Ronaldinho only became more known, and top player later in his career. While Ronaldo (9) was at the top and world wide phenomenon early on at 19.
And its pronounced Ronaldinho. Im Portuguese.
@@knightheaven8992 Thanks for the explanation of the pronounciation!

@@nirfz that guy was a phenomenon i didnt just hear the name once or twice, thats why im so suspicious / curious
Cristiano has a lot of Ronaldinho moves and vibes not the other way around.
Ronaldihno played before Messi and Ronaldo era. That is why he has number 10. Messi was a teenager at that time.
Ronaldinho came before Ronaldo and Messi’s first goal for Barcelona was assisted by Ronaldinho. He was so good that he was loved by all fans.
I'm so happy you reacted to Ronaldinho! He made football look fun and just amazing to watch that's also a reason why everyone loved him.
You should watch a video with Messi and Ronaldinho playing together if you wanna see more of them!
There is someone known as Iniesta, which might be worth a reaction. To someone who's never played soccer, he might look unspecial but he was as good as Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho. The vision, mentality, presence, creativity, intuition, awareness... this guy bossed the midfield, it was like he was watching the game through the stands,... like for us it all looks easy but being there changes the game, remember unlike basketball the ground is huge and there are more players, you cannot constantly turn your head around and tiredness also plays a factor. But Iniesta transcended all of that. This guy was pretty much playing the sport like a video game like he had 3 eyes or something.
You should watch the video named "Art of Defending" to learn how some of the best defending looks like.
Ronaldinho played in a role known as Attacking Midfielder... and to be specific, a creative midfielder. Most of his job is to take the ball ahead by being creative and make sure it reaches the striker. He was just so good that he scored a ton himself. He didn't defend much. Other examples of midfielders like him are Zinedine Zidane, who played for Real Madrid. Also, Iniesta is considered one of the best in this role, he used to defend more and not be as flashy or end up scoring much, but Iniesta was a big role in FC Barcelona's 2 runs where they were deemed the most unplayable and scary team to play against.
She will compare Iniesta to Christiano, LOL
Andres Iniesta is the greatest footballer to ever live.
he may be a good player but he doesn't compare to messi ronaldo and ronaldinho he's not smoking crack
True..Ronaldinho was effective AND entertaining .. His speed and balance is also underrated by many.. He had it all ..the technique, brain, skills but also the charm !! He will always be Nr1 for me!!! Don`t miss to react to Roberto Carlos..an other Brazilian with amazing Freekicks!!
Basically Ronaldinho's style is similar to the OG ronaldo but improved I'd say (although ronaldo was better players overall).
With that said, Christiano copied lots of his moves as did many other players. They are very hard to do at the level Ronaldinho constantly did.
Ronaldinho's style was heavily influenced by Jay Jay Okocha
Just so she doesn't get more confused, there was another Brazilian player named Ronaldo (yes there's a lot of Ronaldos) you should react to him as well... Was one of the most skillfull players of all time and also am amazing goalscorer
@@athumen For me its easy. Ronaldo is the brazilian, Cristiano is from Portugal. Ronaldo was a mixture of pure tank and pure skill. Problem with super speed and super weight is your ankles and your knees cant take it. This is what was demize of original Ronaldo, probably the best player ever.
@@unwokeneuropean3590 I know it's easy for us, I just commented in the case that she reads this comment and get confused with the Ronaldos

You need to watch "zlatan, he came to visit" he's the Swedish player who has basically won a league title every year for the last 20 years and is still playing at age 38
39 actually.
Zlatan is unreal. No one has scored sicker goals as a full on "big dude" striker. His passing is waaay under-rated too. Those one touch volley goals by Zlatan... in traffic from crazy angles that no one else can make will probably put her to sleep. She gets an A for effort--but I don't think she grasps the insane, generation-defining, skill and all time great she's watching.
To be honest, it's mostly people who dedicated a lot of time to the game or watched waaay too much football (soccer) who know that stuff just doesn't happen that often... You can go games and not see a Ronaldinho or Zlatan highlight... They did it frequently and on the biggest stages, against people who are paid to stop them, even if it means playing dirty.
Cristiano Ronaldo can only dream that he could be as good as Ronaldinho was. Ronaldinho was playing with a heavier ball, in a time when it was a far more physical game and he had nearly every player on the other team kicking chunks out of him. And yet he still managed to play the greatest style of football in the game, Messi is the modern Ronaldinho because they were born with their talent. Cristiano Ronaldo has spent his entire career trying to imitate Ronaldinho's natural magic. Plus, when you can do all of the magic whilst being kicked to pieces and stay on your feet, that makes you one of the three best of all time.
I think you are being a bit unfair. Cristiano Ronaldo has a lot of records and is undoubtedly one of the best, most consistent scorers the game has ever seen. He also trains more and is all in all more dedicated to his craft than any other player.
It's sad that you just want to hate on him, as if he ever did something wrong. He always supports his fans
@@almerindaromeira8352 I'm not hating on him, I'm not a teenager. What I was pointing out is that he is not in the same class as a player such as Ronaldinho, not does he exude the joy that Ronaldinho or Messi do. To him it's a business, to the other it's the joy of the game.
@@almerindaromeira8352 Scoringwise id say Ronaldo is way ahead of Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho is the whole package tho scoring, passing and also making everyone around him better whereas Ronaldo is more of a pure goalscorer. But thats just my opinion ofc. Both of them definitely up there with the greatest, i prefer Ronaldinho myself tho.
@@mrk8050 not same class? You realise that Ronaldo has more goals scored than Messi right? That alone should put them at least in equal footing...
@@almerindaromeira8352 I know the statistics, and yes he has scored more. Messi has more assists, trophy's and is a play maker and team player. I'm not saying Ronaldo isn't good, because he is. What I'm saying is players like Pele, Ronaldinho and Messi just naturally flow with the ball. Ronaldo has had to work at his craft every day of his career, and I do admire the dedication, but I haven't seen the joy.
Ronaldinho started all of that, and players like Cristiano Neymar mbappe .. got inspired by him.
Dear Lady
To me as a german i grew up with football.
There are millions of fans on every continent who cheer for their national teams. It is estimated that there are four billion football fans worldwide, a considerable number of whom appear in front of the ball themselves. Especially in Europe and South America, football is like a popular religion. I love your interest THANK YOU 😍
In Africa too.. LG aus Mauritius
@@m2a0n0u7 so richtig 😍
i cried when u said 6ft is average height lmao
Plzzzz react to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the most spectacular players of all time. You will learn a lot of things
Tip: Zlatan Ibrahimovic craziest skills and impossible goals
I need to just throw it in, I really injoy watching your videos❤️❤️Lot of love to U
Was looking for this among all the Ronaldinho were before CR7
I agree ... Zlatan is an incredible player and many of his goals are almost impossible!
@@ROBERTOSILVA-nq2px YES!!💛💙
R10 simplesmente o mais habilidoso da história!
Ronaldinho, the best of the world until he wanted to
"Ronaldinho is fun to watch" is such an understatement. Glad you have a chance to have a look at what he could do.
ronaldinho doesn't have ronaldo vibe rather ronaldo has perfected the ronaldinho vibe.
U mean robotized his vibe
i am waching this video and still remember the other reaction to CR7 that she did @nii adjei dsane is right CR7 robotized Ronaldinho yeah he is fast but if you compare the two you instantly notice that CR7 is much too rigid and it looks forced and Ronaldinho is fluid and generaly makes his moves from out of nowhere when you least espect it he is much more freeflowing and smooth and to cuote another in the comments CR7 has a bag of tricks that he uses in certain situations while Ronaldinho just does whatever happens to work to the situation that he finds himself in and he generaly does it better than CR7
Yeah its true that ronaldo's moves are a bit robotic and less pretty to look at, but ronaldo had his own spin to those moves and generally ronaldo had the better results. Ronaldinho is obviously one of the greats but ronaldo is pretty far ahead in terms of success.
@LEOMESHI well I'm not really in mood for arguing over some footballer who is not even from my country, but if this is the biggest lie you've ever heard then you should probably check on your girl and mates. cz you are way too simpleminded.
barishailla mofo WTF Ronaldinho is way better than CR7 the only reason that Ronaldinho is not playing right now is that CR7 is way younger than Ronaldinho for reference when Ronaldinho started playing in Barcelona CR7 barely started playing and got sended to Manchester United a year later making his copying of Ronaldinho even worse
when brazilian football players play, they dance the samba at the same time lol
ronaldinho (pronounced ro-nal-di-nyo) was messi's mentor at barcelona (last clip was him assisting messi's first goal) and i think everyone can agree he was a joy to watch because he really loved the game even his oppenents used to applaud him, he won most major honours but unfortunately he was a bit of a party animal which meant his career didnt last as long.
That's not how Ronaldinho is pronounced. The nh is a phoneme in portuguese. Ro-nal-di-nho.
@@davidribeiro1064 that isnt easy for an english speaker to pronounce though, phonetics just dont work like that
@@jacklobb3510 tough luck. If you really want to pronounce it right you have to learn some portuguese 😂
Same with every other language in the world
@@almerindaromeira8352 the spelling of the pronounciation may be different but we are pronouncing it exactly the same, if youre gonna stand on your high horse like that then this conversation will go no further
@@jacklobb3510 But you are neither pronouncing it correctly or the same way. And frankly It's pretty disrespectful to not even try or to accept advice from native speakers.
I honestly think he has being the best player ever, his tecnique was superb. 🤤🤩🏆
The shot he makes to get over the goalie is called "chipping the goalie", a bit like a golfer chips on to the green, the bit about Ronaldo being serious is because of his ego, i.e. he thinks he's "Gods gift"
Dinho is way flashier than Ronaldo and remained that way throughout his career. Ronaldo took a lot of that out of his game later on in his career. And you’re wrong to say he doesn’t have the same sharpness. CR7 is more ‘robotic’ in his movement, Dinho has a much more of a free flowing style - that samba style where he looks like he’s dancing. Both styles are equally effective.
Also, you’ve never seen Ronaldo assist his own bicycle kick, there are levels to this. There were plenty of things in here that you’ve never seen Ronaldo do, maybe you just don’t have the eye to pick up on them.
The last clip was Ronaldinho assisting Messi with his first goal.
"I wonder how to stop this, must be hard"
Raphael Marquez: "Hold my beer"
Ronaldinho has retired but played a bit with Messi when he was young. When Ronaldinho left Barca Messi got number 10
Forget Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, this guys learn with Ronaldinho
Please play the videos with commentary it's more fun and energetic. Football commentry is best
So glad you got around to Ronaldinho.
Ronaldo and Messi are by far the best players in the world currently... but Ronaldinho was pure magic to watch. Played purely for the love of playing. Could do things with the ball nobody has seen before or since.
Any reaction to Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be great, he has scored some of the craziest goals of all time and he’s still a beast at 39 years old
Ronaldinho was a novelty to european football. He came at a very young age and skyrocketed at Barcelona (red/blue jersey). the yellow/blue jersey = brazil national team in which he carried alot. He was a very humble and fun player to watch. VERY skilled and a great teamplayer. Hard to find anything negative to say about him. AND he was the ONLY player so far even the enemy fans clapped when he scored as he was so much appreciated by everyone. He played with Messi (when Messi was VERY young in the early 2000). He did what Cristiano Ronaldo does but 10 years earlier.
the most talented player ive ever seen, drank the back end of his career away
In that free kick the ball went under the wall. The wall will usually jump, which means that its possible to get the ball underneath it. This is why there is a modern trend of players literally laying down behind the wall at a free kick.
Messi made some love Barcelona Ronaldo made some love Real Madrid but Ronaldinho made all people love football
You should watch Zlatan Ibrahimovic highlights, he is crazy😍
Cristiano Ronaldo no no se puede comparar con Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho es magia pura...!!!
Brazil>Portugal
Ronaldinho was a great showman, I never saw a player like him, happy, funny and a historic player. The futbol never was the same since Ronaldinho rised up on the sport.
You should react to neymar jr he is Brazilian and he’s quite a lot like Ronaldinho but he is one of the best penalty takers in the world
One thing, it's rare to find people who don't like Ronaldinho. In my entire life I have never met or heard anyone say they don't like Ronaldinho. This man inspired a whole generation and more
Ronaldo (an amazing player of course) is so in love with his own mythology that his sense of entitlement now has to travel in the hold on international flights because it's so weighty. Ronaldinho, on the other hand, plays spectacular football and knows he's amazing, but seems incredulous that it's bought him money (lots), women (lots), fame (lots) and cake (lots). Hey - we all like cake right?!
Such a dumbass take. Ronaldo has absolutely no sense of entitlement - he's never stopped working to stay at the top, even now when he's 36 years old.
Ronaldinho, on the other hand, stopped caring about football as soon as it allowed him to party. He was a spoilt brat even before Barcelona. Great player (for about 4 years), but felt entitled ever since he made it to Europe.
This is the man who reignite my love for football, and after he left, he put down my fire again.
PLEASE REACT TO FC BARCELONA THE GLORY DAYS 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Barcelona is 💩 now.... They're in billions of debt, struggling to keep messi, terrible record at the UCL in recent times, had a terrible former president who went to jail, Made Really bad signings.
@@NDL-lt8gg They're getting better now
Messi is pure talent, born to play football, he is not human, he is an alien who feeds on football, he makes the impossible seem easy to do, and he does it almost every day, he does it better than everyone: he scores more goals than anyone, he gives more goal assists than anyone else. He is the one who plays the best (for 15 years) and also makes your team better. Never in my life will I see a player better than him for so long.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the insatiable search for perfection, working hard to have the perfect physique, the perfect power, the perfect technique, the perfect kick ... he is so insatiable that he is only happy when he is the one who scores the goals of his team. He is the perfect egoism of the perfect athlete.
Ronaldinho is magic, he is the most fun player to watch that I have ever encountered in my life, he plays and has fun like a child, he moves like a dancer, but his technique is so impressive that when he plays with the ball he looks like a prestiditator, a magician that drives defenders crazy. What a pity that his magic shone with fullness so little time.
From 2002/3 to 2006, Ronaldinho was untouchable. Every game, he would do something you had never seen before, he really was entertaining. Footballers should make you smile, Ronaldo doesn't make smile, Messi and Ronaldinho most certainly do.
RONALDINO, played from as boy, on sand or dirt streets, in Brazil learning these skills takes years and he was one of many of the brilliant Brazil team of the past.
Ronaldinho,[note 1] is a Brazilian former professional footballer and current ambassador for Barcelona. He played mostly as an attacking midfielder, but was also deployed as a winger. Often considered one of the best players of his generation and regarded by many as one of the greatest of all time, Ronaldinho won two FIFA World Player of the Year awards and a Ballon d'Or. A global icon of the sport, he was renowned for his technical skills, creativity and dribbling ability, as well as his use of tricks, feints, overhead kicks, no-look passes and accuracy from free-kicks.
Ronaldinho made his career debut for Grêmio, in 1998. At age 20, he moved to Paris Saint-Germain in France before signing for Barcelona in 2003. In his second season with Barcelona, he won his first FIFA World Player of the Year award as Barcelona won the 2004-05 La Liga title. The season that followed is considered one of the best in his career as he was integral in Barcelona winning the 2005-06 UEFA Champions League, their first in fourteen years, and another La Liga title, giving Ronaldinho his first career double, receiving the 2005 Ballon d'Or and his second FIFA World Player of the Year in the process. After scoring two spectacular solo goals in the first 2005-06 El Clásico, Ronaldinho became the second Barcelona player, after Diego Maradona in 1983, to receive a standing ovation from Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Following a second-place La Liga finish to Real Madrid in the 2006-07 season and an injury-plagued 2007-08 season, Ronaldinho departed Barcelona to join AC Milan, where he won the 2010-11 Serie A. He then returned to Brazil to play for Flamengo in 2011 and Atlético Mineiro a year later where he won the 2013 Copa Libertadores, before moving to Mexico to play for Querétaro and then back to Brazil to play for Fluminense in 2015. Ronaldinho accumulated numerous other individual awards in his career. He was included in the UEFA Team of the Year and the FIFA World XI three times each, and was named UEFA Club Footballer of the Year for the 2005-06 season and South American Footballer of the Year in 2013. In 2004, he was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players.
In his international career with Brazil, Ronaldinho earned 97 caps and scored 33 goals and represented his country in two FIFA World Cups. After debuting with the Seleção by winning the 1999 Copa América, he was an integral part of the 2002 FIFA World Cup-winning team, starring alongside Ronaldo and Rivaldo in an attacking trio, and was named in the FIFA World Cup All-Star Team. As captain, he led his team to the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup title and was named man of the match in the final. He also captained the Brazil Olympic team to a bronze medal in men's football at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Ronaldinho is basically the perfect example of talent. Most entertaining players of all time.
He was messi's mentor in barcelona.They did play at the same time 18:14 thats messi.
Ronaldinho and Messi played together for some time in Barcelona, even Messi once said that he never saw someone play like Ronaldinho.
I started taking football more seriously when I saw Ronaldinho for the first time on the TV when I was a kid. When he was on the pitch you knew the game would be fun to watch. Shame partying and the star lifestyle took him from the football carrier he had. If he trained like Cristiano does he would be on par with him and Messi when it come to longevity. After Ronaldinhos decline I saw the same spark in Cristiano when he was playing. Ronaldinho was god gifted when it came to controlling the ball and football in general. Whereas Cristiano grinded the hell out and got to Ronaldinhos level and honestly surpassed him way beyond. But yes Cristiano basically took the flashiness of Ronaldinhos play and combined it with great athleticism and work ethics. Both are legends, because they were are and will motivate young players to be like them.
Messi and Ronaldinho played together for a few seasons, as right and left wingers respectively, linking up with striker, Samuel Eto’o. Messi was just 16 when he made his 1st team debut for Barcelona and after his first training session, Ronaldinho told his team mates that he believed one day Messi would be a better player than himself.
The great thing about Ronaldinho was that it always looked like he was playing for fun. Not for money, not for fame, just for fun. You can tell ´cause he´s smiling most of the time :D
Ronaldinho is probably the best mix of Messi and Ronaldo that we’re ever going to see.
- Near the beginning of the video when the ball was going back to him its because he was hitting the crossbar to send the ball back to himself (which for many people hitting the crossbar alone is hard enough but to get the ball back to yourself is even harder).
- Ronaldinho was playing for Barcelona before Messi made the first team and had to number 10 shirt which was passed onto Messi when Ronaldinho left (also as another note Ronaldo skills would've come from Ronaldinho as he used them originally one of the reasons Ronaldinho is football's greatest entertainment is because he was one of the first big players to do those kinds of skill moves).
- The lob over a goalkeeper is just called a chip shot, and for the freekick the players in the wall jumped so the ball went underneath the wall.
Also as an added fun fact in case you didn't know Ronaldinho is his nickname because a Ronaldo already played for Brazil and his name is actually Ronaldo he went by Ronaldinho which means Little Ronaldo
As for defending against players like Ronaldinho its incredibly difficult and as someone who used to play as a defender when I was younger the main 'tactic' really is to watch the ball as a lot of skill moves involve players moving their legs around/over the ball so I was taught to try and focus on the ball as the ball is my target to get it away from the player but it also just comes down with try to predict the skill a player is going to do and maybe get a little lucky on the way, another tactic is to try and crowd those kind of players so they don't have the room to move about but as you've seen with Messi sometimes even that doesn't work.
Born and raised in Madeira, Ronaldo began his senior club career playing for Sporting CP, before signing with Manchester United in 2003, aged 18, winning the FA Cup in his first season. He would also go onto win three consecutive Premier League titles, the Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup; at age 23, he won his first Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo was the subject of the then-most expensive association football transfer when he signed for Real Madrid in 2009 in a transfer worth €94 million (£80 million), where he won 15 trophies, including two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey, four Champions Leagues, and became the club's all-time top goalscorer. He also finished runner-up for the Ballon d'Or three times, behind Lionel Messi (his perceived career rival), and won back-to-back Ballons d'Or in 2013 and 2014, and again in 2016 and 2017. In 2018, Ronaldo signed for Juventus in a transfer worth an initial €100 million (£88 million), the most expensive transfer for an Italian club and the most expensive transfer for a player over 30 years old. He won two Serie A titles, two Supercoppa Italiana, and a Coppa Italia in his first three seasons with the club.
Ronaldo made his senior international debut for Portugal in 2003 at age 18, and has since earned over 170 caps, including appearing and scoring in eleven major tournaments, becoming Portugal's most capped player and his country's all-time top goalscorer. He scored his first international goal at Euro 2004, where he helped Portugal reach the final, and assumed full captaincy of the national team in July 2008. In 2015, Ronaldo was named the best Portuguese player of all time by the Portuguese Football Federation. The following year, he led Portugal to their first triumph in a major tournament by winning Euro 2016, and received the Silver Boot as the second-highest goalscorer of the tournament. He also led them to victory in the inaugural UEFA Nations League in 2019, and later received the Golden Boot as top scorer of Euro 2020.
One of the most marketable and famous athletes in the world, Ronaldo was ranked the world's highest-paid athlete by Forbes in 2016 and 2017 and the world's most famous athlete by ESPN from 2016 to 2019. Time included him on their list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2014. He is the first footballer and the third sportsman to earn $1 billion in their career.
Late to the party, but still here.
I wouldn't say he doesn't have Ronaldo's sharpness. It's more so that his level and skill is so high that he can move slower and more relaxed because he knows he will overcome them anyway.
Let me put it another way:
Cristiano is like a smart kid taking a test but putting all of his focus on his paper, double checking his answers, and hyperventilating with urgency to finish with the best score possible.
Ronaldinho was the genius that didn't study, showed up to take his test 15 minutes late, hummed, smilled, and was just chillen the whole time without a care in the world only to finish before Crstiano and get a better score than him.
Ronaldinho is Messi's mentor. When Messi was 19 years old he played with Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho was the number 10 until he left Barcelona and gave that number to Messi. Lol I remember because I grew up in Spain from 2001 to 2006. And Ronaldinho is way older than Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo learned those moves from Ronaldinho. And on top of winning everything with Barcelona, he has also won 2 World Cups with the Brazilian National team. A straight up legend. He is still my favorite player ever. Love his free spirit way of play.
Ronaldinho was a traditional "number 10" player. The number 10 player (attacking midfielder) is mainly responsible for creating goal opportunities. These are usually extremely skillful players in the art of dribbling and passing. They are the players with the best creativity and vision in the game. They will also create scoring opportunities for themselves but their main purpose is to create for the striker.
5 years of Ronaldinho's Magic and Stamina, doesn't compare to anyother player, the difference of just doing tricks an pass the ball back to your defence .....
And the magic of make others fall during the 90 minutes ❤️
