Who was better for Barca, Ronaldinho or Neymar? 🤔
Ronaldinho
Ronaldinho
Neymar pretty godly but not as good as him
Ronaldinho of course
Neymar is not even close to him
I can’t even imagine what it was like for those kids. “Hey remember that kid who scored 23 goals on us in a game?” “Yeah, why?” “He just won the ballon d’or”
Atleast they aren't as embarrassed about it anymore.
I would be honored to tell a story about Ronaldinho tearing up my team because it would mean that I played with him. Absolute dream.
Y’all cause they forgot about him and didn’t follow him after playing against someone with his skill lmao gtfo
Lol
Remember that guy who tried to grab you by the pussey. He's president
He was pure talent. Whatever he did was natural to him. If he had CR7’s mindset and hardworking capacity, no one would have touched him in any department of football 😂
If he trained like Ronaldo does he would've been strong even at Ronaldo's age
@@lucabrandalesi1265 how do you know that .. if you have seen Ronaldo at his early man united days then you will be shocked to see how disfigured he was .. but he had the champion mindset and came back . At the defence of ronaldinho..man won Every thing before the age of 25 ....
Well his downfall was lack of motivation. Until he was in Barcelona he was a consistent player but when he left Barca that's where his downfall started because by the time he left Barca he had already won everything there is two win in football he won the world cup, UCL, Ballon dor etc. he didn't have the hunger to keep winning trophies like Messi and Ronaldo has
I mean he definitely had high work ethic to get to his mystical level. He was dribbling a ball since he was a toddler.
@@GabiN64 unfortunately that was pure talent and love for the game. It was no work ethic 😂
Even if not the most consistent by modern standards, Ronaldinho is for me the definitive face of the sport. His spirit was not just that of an athlete, but that of a player. He wasn't trying to be a performance machine like C. Ronaldo or achieve the insane optimization of Messi, but he was a positive caricature of playfulness, skill, ingenuity and plain love for his craft. The guy would outshine anyone when on the field. Much like watching a match of Nadal or witnessing Usain Bolt run, when Ronaldinho was in, you were there to watch a Ronaldinho match, not any match of football.
This was so beautifully put ❤️
Yesss ... If football is entertainment, he was an entertainer...and he is up to date one of the chilliest players out there, always with a smile on his facez minding his business and doing his thing. He was an absolute force to reckon with. It was very rare that he got stopped by even the worst of tackles. He was absolutely beautiful to watch. The "joga bonita" was revived with him.
What a beautifully worded and logically objective tribute! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Kids nowadays vill never understand just how good he was. He was the game changer. He could carry the entire team on his shoulders and everybody loved him. Everybody.
Most overrated player all time
@@27FreddyG no
@@27FreddyG fuck no dude was a beast, he would show up in big moments in his prime. Like people feared it when he had the ball running up the field and it’s a 1v1 with a defender. Dude would make anyone look like little kids lmao
@@27FreddyG No.
i really love ronaldinho but saying " He could carry the entire team on his shoulders" is not the way to describe him, he never carried any of his teams, sure he had many magical moments and in his prime probably the best dribbler ever in the sport but to say he could carry his team on his shoulders is not true there are many players that carried their teams way way more the ronaldinho.R9(before injury) for example would carry 10x harder than him and was way more consistent... ronaldinho was just pure joy to watch he had magic in his feet he has some of the craziest highlights ever but that doesn't mean he was carrying his team there are atleast 10 players that would fit that description way better than him
Fun fact: He got arrested for a short period of time in Paraguay for trying to enter the country with a fake passport. At the time the prisioners had a football tournamente and he made his team won the competition, what makes him probably the only player who has the title of prision's football tournament winner, despite world's cup and etc
haha lol didnt know that, just read it was even his 40. birthday and over 30days in jail and 5 months under arrest and btw it was last year and not before his pro career what makes it even more hilarious lol, esp the fake passport as if not every single person would know that hes ronaldinho and brasilian
And it was during the Corona so even when football is on lockdown RONALDINHO still finds a way to play and win a tournament 🤣. The guys a top 10 goat.
The tournament's prize was a PIG!
And, as far as I know, he didn't even need a passport to enter Paraguay (he is Brazilian, so his original ID should be enough)... And everybody knows his face, how did he expect not to get recognized? 🤣

I think the reason why so many Brazilian players end up partying a lot and losing form is the reality that they came from. The Brazilian players you cited came from impoverished families, so they did not have much growing up. So when they got to Europe and became wealthy, they wanted to enjoy what they did not have in the past. They became fascinated by all the things that they now had access to.
That’s a good theory
Naah Partying is a big part of socializing in Brazil, even with family. You know that. People party a lot, even in the favelas, where it’s pretty much free.
Partying is just a big thing in brazilian culture
@@wavewatcher_ bruh, the writer of the comment its literally brazilian. brazil its a fucking great country at most of the things, but unfortunately the economics and government cant catch up the rest, love from brazil man, have a good one
Or they simply wanted to enjoy life 🤷♂
Ronaldinho carrer at Brazil was greatly relevant. He even won the Libertadores in 2013. He was just not as physical, but an absolute genius tho.
One of the few players to won both UEFA and Libertadores
To the gringos reading this if you want to see how good was Ronaldinho if he has a good mindset. Go see Flamengo x Santos a clash for the ages with ronaldinho x a young neymar. This game was one the best i ever see.
@Ayrton Sergio probably the only player from south America to win WC,UCL,Libertadores and ballon d'or
People forget that he basically invented like 80% of all modern “moves” that everyone uses now… he was like MJ but for soccer. He legit changed the way the game was played.
People who really know both basketball and football know that he's the Allen Iverson of football. Absolute wizard for a short stretch of time, inspiring an entire generation and winning the respect of every one of his peers.
@@micahmackinnon99 PERFECT ANALOGY LIKE AI made the crossover popular he did the same for many tricks which were later more improved. Oh man I still remember me and my brother try to copy him just something else he was.

@@asongforthemostbeautifulwo6476me too! Hahahaha 🤦♀️
What is soccer?
Stats don’t tell you how good Ronaldinho was .. that man would Dominate games in a way that didn’t show up on the stat sheet
exactly, him alone was enough to set and change the pace of a game, something a statistics sheet saying neymar has higher score rate can't tell.
Intangibles... same for Maradona
i like your comment but i must say they probably just havent found/created the right stats to demonstrate his dominance. if they have then you and I both just lack the statistical knowledge
Well...but the stats are the ones that tell the truth...Are you dumb? Ball possession Passes completed percentage Assists Goals Goals/assists per game But of course...you all idiots only see "the magic and skills"...What a bunch of IMBECILES! I prefer to have on my team the record scorer even if he scores the ugliest goals ever than just having the most skilled guy in history that doesn't hold any record...(meaning he's not the best at nothing) FOR NOTHING!
@@yelyharmony2047 '' Stats are the ones that tell the true''. Well no. Senna is considered to be the best F1 driver in history but Hamilton has better statistics than him. Statistics did not say which cars they have driven and under which rules they have raced. You can apply this concept to soccer as well. More If a player score 3 goals in 3 matches with identical final score 1-0 for all matches is by far more dominant that another one that score 3 goals in one match lost 3-5 and with clean sheet in the other 2. The statistics for both player will be 1 goal per match. Coming to Ronaldinho, in his peak 2004-2007 was by far better than Neymar.
I was one of those little kids who grew up seeing Ronaldinho playing for Barcelona and Brasil. Even though his prime didn't last long, his career between 2004 and 2007 was something magical so difficult to see ever again: no matter which team you supported, everyone watched him just to see which trick he was going to play next. He made a whole generation fall in love with football. It was a shame he didn't play the world cup in 2010.
Me too
He only reached his best by 2004 to Mid 2006. From, and especially after WC2006, he started drop.
@@nguyenai1337 That 2003/2004 season was where he had strength, pace, vision, top tier skills all combined.
Even after his prime, when he came back to Brazil to play on Flamengo, his 5x4 match against Santos is considered one of the most legendary matches of the brazilian league, against a young Neymar. Even at the end of his career, with a beer belly and all, he dunked on every team he played against professionally, every match a spectacle.
I remember him at ACMilan. He was fat, totally unfit, partying almost every night, being late at training sessions... and yet, he was able to score 14 goals and assisting his teammates 14 time in one season. LOL What a legend!
He was suffering with depression by then. Depression, the great Equalizer. 😔
And if Milan back then had better strikers so he had 20 assists 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
tbh seems the pattern with lots of brazilian superstars. they ruined their career with their never ending party lifestyle.
@@limariooppa6169 I really don't understand with some kid nowadays saying neymar is better than ronaldinho lol😂. Neymar is showboating and try hard to be like ronaldinho, meanwhile ronaldinho just natural,have his identity just do what he want

AMEN
@Purebred Shekelberg Why messi loss 8-2
@Beese Churger coz they just wanna spread their hate & jealousy
Ronaldinho's magic was not scoring, was his playing style. It was beautiful.
Being born in 1983 and watching football since 1990-ish, I'd say Ronaldinho is without any doubt the best player I've seen playing in a live match.
So true 😊
"Play with happiness, play with joy. When you have a ball at your feet, you are free." - Ronaldinho
yeah, not that free anymore :D
@@zzzzz3649 still won a tournament in that prison, so who are you to say he wasnt free? ;)
@@VjRj84they can trap the body but they can’t trap the mind 💯!
When you play for Barcelona but even Real Madrid fan respected him is enough for you to know he was absolutely spectacular.

Agreed
Couldn't more agree
His legend is that he played the game for fun. He had fun doing it . And it is so so obvious. There is no ads. No online businesses ...no nothing . Just pure joy when he scores goals. And smiles when he is disappointed with the referee's decisions . Just one of those rare sportsmen who makes you love the game .
Before even watching past the first 30 seconds of the video, Ronaldinho's greatness cannot be boiled down to statistics. What he gave us is an adoration for the game - seeing a man enjoying what he does so much, and doing it with such incredible style, it made you want to stay glued at the screen. I still remember how every time the ball got to him, and he would start dribbling, my dad would always say "watch Ronaldinho's magics". His attitude is what makes him stand out even today.
Maradona said when they called him king of the football: "if I'm king of football, Ronaldinho is a God", also he bowed to him at one match and kissed his hand.
Thank you!!! Yeah we can say Messi is goat thaht Level over 15years.. but Prime Ronaldinho was the best Player ever!!! And everybody was scared Off him... He wasn't Just skyfull He was one with the Ball

If you could have given Ronaldinho the work ethic of C.Ronaldo, he would be the best player of all time. Easily the most entertaining. He brought joy to the football pitch. Ronaldinho could nutmeg a mermaid.
Lmfao @ nutmeg a mermaid
Not the work of Cristiano, the best for Ronaldinho whould be to go to training. As i know we has spending a lot of it's time on party
Ronaldinho played for fun. CR7 plays for his career. There's a difference.
He is naturally gifted.
Totally agree. Most gifted of all time. The fact, that he is known as one of the goats with only having 2-3 years on prime level Shows how impressiv he was at his prime.
You can't measure Ronaldinho's success by the number of goals scored. He wasn't a goal scoring machine like Romario and Ronaldo, he's the rare jack of all trades that instead of being good at everything excells at nothing, he excelled at everything. He was a complete package, but most of all, he was a performer. The moment he set foot on the pitch, you were about to witness one spectacular show. Watching him play was like magic, always with a lot of enthusiasm and a big smile on his face, he would dance around, toy with, and embarass some of the best players in the world like they were amateurs, there's a reason here im Brazil we call him Bruxo(Witcher/Wizard) because at the of the match, he had you caught under his spell. No one has ever played Football like Ronaldinho, came before or came after, he's made of sheer talent and passion for Football, the guy who turned a sport into art. The ball was his brush, and the pitch was his canvas.
Romario and Ronaldo-R9 had completely different style of play.. Romario was a typical box striker iwth brazilian touch.. R9 was the only striker in history who could dribble like a playmaker.. and Ronaldinho was one of the greatest playmakers..
Ronaldinho was one of a kind on the field. He wasn’t the top scorer, but his passes, dribbling skills and free kicks were phenomenal.
these are just numbers. watching him playing was a joy to watch. noone in my family supports barcelona, but when ronaldinho was playing everyone was watching. he saw football as a game and not as a business. and he was happy playing it. not faking, not pissing people off, just enjoying the game. best football player who ever lived in my opinion.
Completely agreed. He is the best on this planet, I don't think anyone was or is capable of his qualities, even i doubt anyone in future would match him.
He will always be the best player in the world
He was just something else. Modrić, Kroos, Zidane, Ibrahimović, Henry, all world class players, but Ronaldinho was on a scale higher than anyone else. He is the reason why many people started watching football. I don't think there was a single more talented player than Ronaldinho.. Except Messi perhaps
Perfectly said
@@marko514 Ronaldinho actually taught Messi a lot of what he knows today. And fun fact, Barcelona actually sold Ronaldinho to avoid fucking up Messi. By that time, messi was seen in parties and bbqs with ronaldinho
Aside from "stats", he brought joy to the football fans. And that's priceless. He's definitely one of the best ever.
The greatest entertainer of all time.
The Goat. He won all the titles even in Sth America WC and European trophies. 2 balon dors. Technically the most gifted player of all time.

That's the Ronaldo 1996-1999 model. People tend to forget how ludacris was to see Ronaldo in his prime.
OOh .. I think i just preferred R9 personally but i wouldn't complaining with Ronaldinho. Both are the most destructive and skillful and inventive players i have ever seen in my life. The thing i loved about both of them was that you never felt they were showing off like Neymar does. It was like everything they did even though incredible was always with the purpose of scoring and not for show!!
I wouldn't say the best, but most entertaining for sure. The fan's choice.
Ronaldinho is pure excitement. He’s not only talented, but he takes the spectators on a joy ride. That’s what makes him incomparable.
Plus Ronaldinho is such a class act, a gentleman who was always great with fans.
That is the meaning of football and sport in general, is played for spectators, without spectators to see who is the best, football is irelevand.
Ronaldinho is the most showman in football ever, hands down, you will never find another player that can do the things he did, he was strong and ligth feet at the same time, wizar whit the ball, and also genereus with team mates, as he always said: "the important is play beautiful"

Nobody dribbled a football like him. His confidence on the pitch was unmatched.
Growing up, ronaldinho was my idol... he's the only player i've ever seen play top level football for fun.
He's the most naturally talented player ever, of all the players he had the highest high, nobody ever touched a ball with so much ease. This is a guy who used to control a ball coming from a goal kick with his back! Have you played football? Do you know how hard it is to do that? This is a guy that, by the time he was 18, had already played football for 15 years, 6 days a week, from morning until you couldn't see the ball anymore at night. Other players may have been more successful, more impactful, had longer careers, but no one was "better" than him. And he also won every possible competition there was for him to win.
You should watch Maradona.. But yea, beside him, no one else touched the ball with so much ease as Ronaldinho.. Ironically, Maradona is Ronaldinho's childhood hero.. And as footballer, Maradona loved him as much as Ronaldinho loved him
Yeah, Ronnie and Diego are the most "natural" talents I've seen. The grace and easiness they control the ball... is like it's an extension of their bodies.
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI Messi lacks the grace and sheer creativity of Diego and Ronnie Gaucho in my opinion. When you turned on the TV to watch them, you didn't expect just a football match, but a showtime, a spectacle, a form of entertainment that went beyond winning or scoring goals. Messi lacks such power, in my opinion, even if he is arguably the most efficient player ever.
Zidane has the easiest first touch on the ball....
@@lessavini The Funny thing is, players like Ronaldinho or Xavi said in interviews that, during training, Messi would start doing crazy skills that left them amazed just to show off, he just didn't need to show off while playing to dribble half a team and score.

I had the pleasure of being a child in Brazil watching him play for Gremio (my club in Porto Alegre) and growing up admiring his skill. There is no player that could do what he did. He was an artist and invented most of what you see nowadays in the modern staple players. He brought soul to any football match, and forever will be my all time favorite player in the history of the sport. He's my Michael Jordan.
I think on my opinion He is among the first 5 best football players to this day !! It was a pleasure to watch him playing his beautiful football, ethics, friendship, kindness, humbled, and down to earth person !!
My childhood hero right here, this guy made my fall in love with the beautiful game. I remember when my dad bought me the first football jersey, it was an Hernan Crespo Chelsea jersey and I became a Chelsea supporter. I remember watching Chelsea vs Barcelona in the CL with my dad and Ronaldinho embarrassed the Chelsea defense on multiple occasions. I knew about Ronaldinho and what he was about, but I started following him religiously after that game just so I don’t miss any of the “‘Dinho show”. This guy had kids skipping school so they could practice the latest trick he pulled off in a game. After that my dad bought me a Ronaldinho Barcelona shirt and wore it to school every other day. No footballer ever captivated the youth like Ronaldinho and I grew up in Eastern Europe where I’m not sure everyone could watch Ronaldinho at home on a regular basis, yet everyone wanted to be like him and like him. Played with a smile which made millions smile, gotta love Dinho ❤️.
Perfectly said, the first time I watch Dinho play was in the 2002 world cup when they defeated Germany(I was a Germany fan due to being a Shumi fan in F1) and then again that game vs Chelsea got me loving football and I started playing it as a 10year old boy. We used to fight over who would be Ronaldinho when we played as kids and I used to obsessively watch his skill videos and tried them out myself. He was even the reason I started supporting FC Barcelona. He is the reason I fell in love with football and he'll forever be my all time favourite, my GOAT

Actually, his Brazilian clubs return in the end of his carreer was pretty relevant, because he managed to lead Atlético (average sized club) to his and most important title, the copa libertadores (south American Champions league)
hes one of the best. The guy was seriously talented. He got bored though you can tell lack of challenge definitely bored him and he understandably believed his legacy sealed after winning everything and clearly chilled afterwards. I can respect that.

Imagine if maradona was - different level entirely
Ronaldo was the most dedicated footballer ever,messi didn't need to be that dedicated or hardworking,he already had talent,and if u look at tall attackers who are considered one of the best(except CF) ,they tend to decline early and retire early,for eg.ronaldo(brazillian) kaka,theirry Henry(although he played for barca but wasn't as good as he was before),the only player I remember playing at a top level at 34 was zidane and maybe it's cause he was not that fast like these footballers,short people have an advantage over tall players in important attacking aspects of football.

To me Ronaldinho will always be the best football player of all time. As said before some have won more trophies and scored more goals but to me the magic, the love and the passion for football is what gives a legendary player like Ronaldinho pure and utter edge beyond any other player then or now :)
His return to Brazil is more meaningful than you portrayed in the video. An ever declining, night life focused kind of player, but there were some genius moments (as always in his career), a few games for Flamengo like a 5x4 against Neymar's Santos and winning the 2013 CONMEBOL Libertadores Cup for Atlético Mineiro, this title made him one of the few men to ever win both the south american cup (Libertadores) and the European cup (UEFA Champions). During his career he won almost every tournament that he figured on at least once, PSG-era being the biggest exception.
What did he win at Milan
@@chotu4317 seria A 2010/2011
You completely missed the 2012-2013 season of Ronaldinho playing in ATLETICO MINEIRO. These were two magical years in his career, with plenty of unbelievable goals, assists and a COPA LIBERTADORES title (the most important one in latin America). And by the way: Ronaldinho is MILES AHEAD from Neymar. There's no comparison.
I'll bet he didn't even checked anything from those times, just dismissed them for not being on Europe. He played phenomenally during the 2012-13 seasons, should've won both Brasileirão and Libertadores while playing really fucking good.

Tais de brincadeira
did he carry a smaller team to victory?
@@nelotharen8599 it wasnt a small team, but without him i personally think they couldnt win libertadores
If he worked more he would be the undeniable GOAT but the joy he brought to the game and the impact he had worldwide while he was on Barca was unmatchable. Im from Greece and here he was a living icon during this time.

Same, he brought people into the sport that before thought it to be mediocre and boring i was more of a NBA kind of guy💯.
Watching him play live on the stadium was absolutely amazing. Numbers don't do justice to his legacy, he was an artist in the pitch. It was impossible not to admire him playing (even when he was on the opposite side).
What he did in 2013 for Atlético Mineiro was quite relevant. Won a Libertadores for the club, which, despite being one of the big clubs in Brazil, they'd had never been able to win. He was in top form again, for the last time, and did some amazing things.
Completely agree, the last term of his career wasn't irrelevant at all. That statement was quite eurocentric hahaha
Vim ver os comentários só pra ver se alguém falava isso kkkkkk, irrelevante é o caralho, essa libertadores foi suada demais
Took Querétaro, a bottom of the table team in Liga MX at the time, to the finals almost on his own. Even when partying hard he could still play laps around a lot of pros.
Então, triste ver como o futebol brasileiro é visto por esses caras
Esses canais gringos não sabem NADA de futebol!a libertadores só fica atrás da liga dos campeões no quesito importância no futebol,daí o cara me fala que era "irrelevante"a passagem dele jogando no Brasil,além de que eu vi muita gente falando que ele jogou muito no México,aí eu já não posso opinar porque não assisti,mas no galo ele jogava demais,eu sou corintiano mas adorava ver o Ronaldinho no galo e fiquei feliz pela libertadores.
On his day, a pure freak of nature, ridiculously good. Could do the most incredible things with the ball and was perhaps the most entertaining player ever to grace a football pitch. Sadly, his prime only lasted for 2-3 years, largely due to the typical Brazilian problems(no offense to Brazilians). Still, it was a huge joy and privilege to have witnessed such pure talent and charisma that Ronaldinho had.
As a brazilian I couldn't agree more with you. Most youth players in Brazil think they're just like Ronaldinho when they get promoted, leading them to a lack of discipline and focus with training. That tipicaly leads those players to have issues with partying and stuff like that, we have multiple cases here in our own national league.
Guilherme Perina Is the situation in Brazilian football similar to Game Theory? ie. Most of the players in the league are hard partying/don’t have as good a work ethic as other leagues so it sort of cancels out?
He gave Brazil the African touch
He may not have the same trophy haul as Ronaldo and Messi...but I watched their entire careers and Ronaldinho was still the most talented player I've ever seen.
One of the most amazing players on the pitch. Never a dull moment when he was on the ball. As a kid he was what made me appreciate football as a beautiful game and opened up my eyes that it can be more than just people kicking the ball around.
It's not about how many goals he scored, people loved him for his UNIQUE skills, smiling face,speed and effectiveness. No one can get close to his skills ,creativity and originality. Always fun to watch even when is close to 40 years old in futsal. Don't compare him with anyone,he is the god of number 10.
^This is what ppl dont get. Messi does the same dribble over and over cus he's small and agile so he doesn't even need to do tricks, and basically, Ronaldo transformed into more of a goal machine than anything else over the years. Ronaldinho however was actually magical and creative beyond belief with a football like an artist on the pitch. His skills were miles beyond that of any other player I've seen (don't even mention Neymar cus he aint at that level) and probably the only player I'd sit and watch highlight clips of for hours on end. I don't do that for messi, maradona, pele, cr7 or even r9.
Also his ball control was godlike.
Cr7 is total bullshit especially when he try to pass opponent with some skill moves. He makes some footwork but most of time his opponents stilll marking him. When Ronaldinho make a skill move to an opponent, his success rate is over %90.
Completely agreed with you man.
I don’t know man I have lots of respect for ronaldinho but to be honest I’ve never seen him play like I have for Ronaldo or Neymar. Not saying anyone is better I’m just not educated on ronaldinho. I gotta start somewhere😁
I've never seen anyone who enjoys playing football like Ronaldinho. The guy played football from his heart and was a raw talent
looks like he slept with a ball from childhood
This guy turned soccer into art...creating some of the most unbelievable moves ever...He is one of the sacred few who made soccer the world's beautiful game.... He made some magical moves with the ball...He was one with the ball and did some never before seen tricks and magic with the ball...He was a marvel to watch....turning defenders into a frenzy of confusion with his out of this world dribbling skills
Nice video. A small point: Ronaldinho’s return to Brazil was very important. Winning the Libertadores with a Atletico-MG. He made all difference to that team that still take advantage today of Ronaldinho’s achievements there.
Just to put into perspective how good he was, he was the main piece to Barcelona's rise during the mid 2000s, people became Barcelona fans because of him
Like me, am here
I’m a fan of Barcelona because of him too
I was 'cause Rivaldo, but I get your point...he was everything that Barcelona ever wanted in a player for the Dutch School (until the duo Xavi-Iniesta appeared)
The numbers says very few about Ronaldinho's football. Magic can't be quantified!
Yup. There are nill nill matches in which the quality of football presented makes it better than a 5 x 5 one.
Ur so dumb, watch some football and stop saying cringe stuff 😂
@@achuparlasocio206 What makes you think your comment is somewhere near something intelligent?
@@supastylin06 dude ur saying that overratedinho is a magician in 2k21 😴😴😴😴 it's like just sftu and watch some fotball
@@supastylin06 cringe Brazilian xddd, go watch some football and stop watching Ronaldinho top 10 skills and tricks, u cringe ignorant Brazilian
What makes a player great is not just their number of goals.. Ronaldinho made the game beautiful, and not just for himself, but for whichever team he played with.. the amount of value he added as a team mate and the influence he had in the sport is ultimately what makes him one of the greatest ever
Ninguém superou o Bruxo até hoje. Sempre vai ser lendário.
N mesmo. Foi o melhor jogador q eu tive o prazer de ver jogar e provavelmente vai continuar por muitos e muitos anos
Insuperável
Tem que chingar esse bostao ai, falando que o fim da carreira nao importou... Jogou e ganhou libertadores depois da europa e o cara nem cita direito.... Mente de colonizador do caralho
Most skillful player to ever grace a football field, and my all-time favorite, thank you Ronaldinho for all the unforgettable memories..
most skillful = messi
@@TheBigEmstos no
@@TheBigEmstos Would spin circles around Messi blindfolded. If you don't even play competitive football what would you know? Just a fan.
@@TheBigEmstos lol yeah right, keep believing that fairy tale, maybe someday it will become reality :)
@@TheBigEmstos who taught Messi? Messi is the greatest footballer, Ronaldinho was the spirit of football itself.
Ronaldinho was so good that you could be a Real Madrid fan and losing 0 - 3, but you couldn't hate him. You could simply watch his greatness and be in awe. And love the guy, even when he destroys your team, cause he was not simply playing to win, he was playing to express himself and make football a transcendental experience for everyone playing and watching. It was like Jesus himself was playing footbal and with every touch he was singing "Rejoyce, for I am here to brighten your days and deliver you".
Beautifully written 😂👌🏾
🤣🤣
in my humble opinion, he is the best soccer player that ever played the game, period.
As a brazilian who never loved football that much, I remeber watching him play everytime, me with a beer in hand (also not a big beer fan) and a fixed smile in my face. Just witnessing something unique and never caring about who wins or loses.
If football is a art RONALDINHO is the Picasso of the game
Not Picasso ,Leonado Divanchi.!!!!!!!!
Leonado Divanchi.!!!!!
If football is art; then he would be God..
Salvador Dali
Messi is the art...
Bruh. Why is this even a question? Even Neymar would say that Ronaldinho is better than him.
lol
Then ronaldinho would be modest and say it's neymar
@@romainempire1233 he is modest. Not a liar
Ronaldinho shits on neymar!
with the way he is arrogant that is unlikely lol
Iam a huge football fan and Ronaldinho is the reason I love this game so much. Truly a legend of a footballer, skills, sportsmanship, charisma and always humble. I always tell my kids about Ronaldinho
idk why im crying to see this legend. hes the real masterpiece! Hes a legend hes a father or football dribbling
I think he could’ve been the best player in history if he took his training seriously, including Messi and Ronaldo. Imagine his talent with Ronaldo’s work ethic, he would’ve been unstoppable
He had Messis talent but not ronaldos work ethic
Aggad He wouldn’t have been Ronaldinho then. His attitude on the pitch is one of the things that made him so likeable.
How good was Ronaldinho ?! Imagine a time in life when every person learned about football because of one man !!! Imagine a time when everyone imitated every move you did !!! Imagine a time when everyone was racing to watch your highlights !!! Imagine a time when booting football became magical,fun & entertaining because of one man !!! Ronaldinho is a savior of football in my eyes, a player which will never be replicated.
Ronaldinho was the reason i tried to smile and make people laugh when i played soccer. now i smile wherever i go
Ronaldinho the only player in history to win Fifa World Cup, Copa Libertadores, UEFA Champions League, and Balon de Oro
Latif Celovic he never won Libertadores
@Latif Celovic Kaká did not win. São Paulo only win in 2005... He was already in Milan.
Sax Dude tgss
Football is a team sport, saying he carried the team to those wins is absurd
@@hansdekker1559 he literally carried a lot of matches, the video showed his most famous one in the world cup, the guy was a magician
In his prime he was the best ever,just unstoppable.This guy was my childhood idol and made me love football! nothing but respect for this legend.There won't be another Ronaldinho.
xDiaBoLiKGaMeRx his prime didn’t last that long. Dinho is pretty overrated as everyone loves him (me too) but he’s nowhere near the likes of ronaldo, Cristiano, messi, pele and co
Zaïd Mayou 25 and how tf does that have to do anything ? Dinho only lasted at world class level for 3 years. The fact that zlatan is only a year younger to him and can still play at the highest level just shows how overrate dinho has become over the years. Fantastic player but not anywhere near the names like ronaldo and messi
Zaïd Mayou you’re just proving my point. If you think dinho stacks anywhere close to the likes of Ronaldo and messi you’re the one lacking knowledge my friend. Dinho is by far the most enjoyable player to watch for sure but not anywhere near the all time best
Prince Marwin I agree dinho didn’t play at World class level for a long time. However dinho at HIS top level are better than players like zidan and ronaldo and cr7. Only Messi (for me) have a higger top level
Marcaba A yes at his top he was phenomenal. I’d say even better than messi. Dinho and Best had a short stint and their best and were by far the best. But consistency is key in football. That’s why the likes of ronaldo, ronaldo 9, messi and co deserve to be in goat bracket
As a kid, Ronaldinho was THE footballer. In the 2000's, his face was synonymous with the sport
One of my favourite players of all time. An absolute magician. That smile is iconic.
the whole world smiles when he smile
i love this man
It's his teeth!! He's not smiling all the time
You can’t compare the stats of villa and etoo to Ronaldinhos, since he mostly played a wing and Cam position, while villa and etoo where strikers.
yeah I get what youre saying, but the point I was trying to get at is that they performed at a higher level than he did for a longer time, as one of the sad things about Ronaldinho is that his prime didnt last too long
@@RaymarFootball But Ronaldinho was better than eto and villa hands down.
Raymar Football this is true. Ronaldinho was not known for his long prime in football. He was known primarily for two reasons: that beautiful stunning joga bonito style of football that was amazing to watch, and his contribution to fc Barcelona that showed everyone that Barcelona was a team to be feared. Barcelona prior to the arrival of ronaldinho had spurts of greatness but was always very on and off. With ronaldinho they won the league I think twice, and the 2006 champions league and of course the 2002 World Cup with Brazil. But once again, that 06 final didn’t really showcase ronaldinhos dominance. That game easily could have been Arsenal’s victory had it not been for a red card. Eto was the monster behind that final. Ronaldinho unfortunately loved partying, had won it all, and didn’t really have the drive to continue being a top class player. Genius alone does not cut it at the top. Only a few years at the top but those few years put his name everyone, inspired a young generation to follow his style, and overall, really helped put Barca on the map.
@@gymfamily In my opinion he in his prime was a better footballer than cr7 and messi.But that's just me.And ofcourse Zidane too was better in his prime than cr7 and messi.Fyi i dont consider goals assists and trophies as the standard to measure a great player.But yeah all those stuff is important and a plus point but more important for me is the signature style of play of an individual player and the class and elegance and just how easily and naturally they grab and hold onto others attention and just show their class elegantly and discreetly without arrogance or showing off.And even when showing off doesn't look like they are trying to show off just looks classy and natural.
Saadhna Kamal thanks for your opinion. I would disagree but we all have our own opinions and I respect that. I would say in prime Messi and cr7 were better but ronaldinho has this magic and class that made every fan giggle like children in disbelief. When you say soccer magic, people think of ronaldinho. He had this presence where it was just amazing to watch him and he played a beautiful game that inspired everyone. Ronaldinhos peak was so short, but what he brought to this beautiful game is what’s not forgotten and thus gives him legendary status. The man was always smiling
For those who say he didn't modify the game: if today, during a free kick, someone is laying on the ground, he is guilty. No one has the same class of looking at one side and rolling the another side. He made the opponents learn again to look at the ball, not the player.
Ronaldinho is the proof that you need a balanced team. He is definitely one of the greats, but he biggest accolades were next other greats. Football is a team sport, all players need to show up.
This video doesn't give Ronaldinho enough justice. He is simply the most talented player of all time.
Be careful not to overestimate the player. He had a gift but he was at the very high level only two years. A gift is innate, talent is mental.
K S10 no the most talented player of all time is messi
@Pratyush dtewari yeah he was very talented too but his talent mostly layed in the goalscoring department
I don't think I'm overestimating him, in my opinion Messi is the best of all time but I also think Ronaldinho had more talent. Players like Messi and Ronaldo are 100% focused on training and being the very best. Whereas Ronaldinho was effortless he did whatever he wanted to. Ronaldinho's success is all thanks to a special gift from God.
@@Aristide.B gift and talent are both innate, and pretty much the same thing.
"whats up with brazilian stars getting caught up with brazilian nightlife" have you seen those wide hips latinas?
@robizzlor savage 😂🤣
@robizzlor HAHAHAHAHA headshot
Robizzlor You’re obviously ignorant
🤣🤣🤣🤣
wide hips turn into fat chicks
My favorite player of all time. By far the most creative to ever step on a pitch. His prime was fairly short, but he was absolutely insane to watch. Football is missing creative players like him today.
Ronaldhino had way better skills but Neymar outclasses him in diving...
this comment make me laugh, thank you
Dude flops around more than a fish out of water
Ohhhhh snap. Great one.
Are you okay
Keep rolling rolling
After Europa, he had a great season for Atletico mineiro and led them to win a Libertadores, the latin Champions League, how is it not relevant???
Guh not Europe lol
He also played the game of the century against Neymar Santos
In deed it is, the video was like half of his carrer only...
@@aldreymenezes7652 Yes, but with Flamengo
yeah, his season in Mineiro shown, that Dinho is only one of a few that have won pretty much everything Big that you can win as a player (Champions, Libertadores and World Cup)
The magician of football who won everything including hearts of even his staunchest opponents. Ronaldinho made everything look ridiculously simple. That's the hallmark of a true genius!
When I used to play footbal as a kid in germany the only name that really stuck out every time was Ronaldinho. We used to play this game where there's a FFA with one goal and everybody needs to choose what player he's going to be. I chose Ronaldinho every time :)
