I was watching this game and I never forget that day.... The last game for Ronaldo as a fenómeno.... After that day nothing was the same about him and about football
+ronaldo9fullgate13 actually the world cup 1998 final was the last game of Ronaldo as fenomeno. between that and the ligament injury he played with constant pain and fear, didnt have the hunger and daring of his Barca season + 1st season at Inter. he played more technical and less with speed. this Ronaldo and post 2002 are the same except that post 2002 was heavier (more strong). but post 2002 he wasn't any slower, just more technical and not as ambitious after winning the World cup
At the beginning of the 1999 - 2000 Serie A season, Ronaldo had the same appetite and cheer like his first season with Inter. He had an excellent performance at Copa America during summer of 1999. But unfortunately his body didn't withstand the side effects of the steroids he took on PSV...
+bosilkof true, in the 1998/1999 season he didn't have injuries but performed poorly. He wasn't even among 10 candidates for the ballon dor, something happened in that wc final that put him down
before his injury, Ronaldo was the best player football history has known. after his injury, Ronaldo descended to the extraterrestrial level of Pelé and Maradona. before his injury, he was the most impressive player in history, with his supersonic start, his extraordinary speed, his incredible technique, a great scorer, he won titles for all the teams he played, captain at 21 in a great team, the great trophies they linked together like pearls (world cup, copa, confederations cup, European cup, championship etc ...), nobody could stop it except injuries.
Sadly he was never the same after this match.. He came back eventually but you could sense there was something missing. His injury restricted him from doing the unworldly things he did in his prime...
I watched many of his matches prior to his injury in this game both at Barca and Inter. I noticed after this and the other subsequent knee injury vs Lazio that he lost a some of his explosive pace and agility. Also the direct, penetrative, and artistic style of dribbling he was famous for was toned down and he wasn't willing to take on many defenders as before.
the real fenomeno was gone after world cup 1998... watch the 98/99 season, hes clearly not the same player anymore, nothing to do with weight. he started playing less physical and more technical from then.
Many people here saying this was the last game of Fenomeno... It is true. But this injury (november), although it was serious, was not the issue. This one could've been treated and he could've healed totally. The problem was that his return (april) was way sooner that what it should've been... He wasn't ready to come back and Inter said he was good to go against Lazio... He wasn't. THAT was the day he destroyed his knee. If you ask me, that was medical neglect.
I read that his muscles were very high in relation to the support provided by the bone structure of his knees, because when he was younger during his PSV stage it was suggested that he increase his muscle mass quickly, in this video of the injury, It is seen that at the moment of braking is when he feels the small tear of the patellar tendon. He was out for 6 months, and when he returned he injured the SAME TENDON in his right knee again, that time the injury was a complete rupture of the patellar tendon. So yes, this was the last game of the real PHENOMENON
Aunque en la temporada 98/99 no fue la mejor por sus lesiones que tuvo, pero igual fue el mejor de esa temporada pero 99/00 sin esas lesiones como se ve en este vídeo su nivel es superlativo con paredes arranques cambio de velocidad pero la maldita lesión de esa temporada Para mi esa temporada si no pasaba lo de la lesión, era nuevamente balón de oro y hasta podía pelear la Serie A hasta el final contra la Lazio
Who knows Ronaldo, sees that here he is already tired and doesnt have the power which he normally has. Maybe he suffered pain already and therefore he must adapt his playing style..
He is the only player ever that you see in every game that he played who had every time minimum 2-3 defenders near him. And countless time half the team chasing him. I've never seen that before! All teams feared him. It's a shame that this was his last game as an extraterrestrial football player 😢

@@FearsomeVoid he did have injuries

Ronaldo il Fenomeno..classe, velocità, potenza, tecnica e tanta magia ! Unico e irripetibile !
Best player of all time..legend 🐐 "phenomenon" very very sad to watch end of the video..😥
3:52 here is the moment when Il Fenomeno faded away, sadly.
This was the day ; the last day of prime Ronaldo; his movement changed after this surgery. Still History will remember him favourably.
yes before injury he was wonderfully/beautifully dynamic and unpredictable in movement
Per Ronaldo Fenomeno non ci sono più aggettivi...che dire..? Il più forte e spettacolare di sempre...e con tanto distacco !!
2:21 He is SO slim here.. and so agile.... hard to watch him so restricted for movement in his later days.
"NON SEMBRA NULLA DI GRAVE"... le ultime parole famose
Sadly he was never the same after this match.. He came back eventually but you could sense there was something missing. His injury restricted him from doing the unworldly things he did in his prime...
in general, or in specific terms (speed, power) ?

Sad, wonder how far he could have gone without...
watch him when fat when back in Brazil = he was still amazing even in 2009 - so much body intelligence - i think still amazing amazing amazing
He lost his skills after this
He's best footballer ever about his personality
Beautiful person
very rare game ........... the first Major Knee injury for RONALDO ...
sadly the last game of the REAL fenomeno

@@bosilkof he was great in copa america 99 though
@@bosilkof nah, it's because Inter was a pretty bad team in 98/99 and he had to do more midfield work than he did in 97/98
@@fedeeeeee no. In 98/99 he was playing injured
The beginning of a series of injuries. Nevertheless, I will always tell this generation to choose their GOAT wisely
1995 was the beginning
Ronaldo fenômeno The Best King 👑 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

Podés contar que lesiones tuvo Ronaldo en la temporsda 98/99, mire su historial y jugó pocos partidos.
@@gonzaloaguirre3051In 98/99 he had knee pain and was injured against Manchester United
Malditas lesões se não fossem elas hoje ninguém falaria em Pelé
Ainda falariam, mas colocariam Ronaldo no mesmo patamar
Curiosidade nesse jogo tem um jogador Manauara do Lecce: Francisco Lima camisa 10
1:47 great solo run
Who knows Ronaldo, sees that here he is already tired and doesnt have the power which he normally has. Maybe he suffered pain already and therefore he must adapt his playing style..
Still hurts watching this.....

He is the only player ever that you see in every game that he played who had every time minimum 2-3 defenders near him. And countless time half the team chasing him. I've never seen that before! All teams feared him. It's a shame that this was his last game as an extraterrestrial football player 😢
