If he doesn’t humiliate the goalkeeper then the goal ain’t complete, legendary 🙌
Lies again? Nazri AO
He just couldn’t resist😀
@@adamnemeth5436 now u have my attention
Haha yeah,nowdays dont see more this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣it was hard being a goalkeeper during his prime years. Especially in Spain.
R9 was absolutely breathtaking in his prime years. Just an absolutely devastating player that was incredibly gifted and just built different. Most Brazilians are great dribblers but don’t have the physicality to match it, Ronaldo was the exception. The man was lightning quick, strong, could score off both feet, could dribble as good as anybody, had the Brazilian flair, could head the ball and most importantly was a freak of nature. Words can’t describe how good this man was, just pure elegance and he oozed class. I’ve never seen a player with so much raw natural ability that was built for football quite like him. Neymar and Messi are both pure natural talent as well but R9 in his prime was just footballing beauty. Incredible player
At his prime arguably the best ST of all time. The talent that he had at 19 wasn’t normal.
Neymar...pfft... Nobody close to ronaldo, literally no one
@@albertwijaya7374 Right, even prime Kaka was better than Neymar at his peak. Dude was unplayable the last 2 years before winning Ballon d’or with Milan.
@@albertwijaya7374 If you could read I said “on natural talent” so next time you say something dumb actually read first you donut. I never said Neymar was close to R9 I just compared natural talent so go cry somewhere else 😂 Also Neymar has more goals and assists than R9 so if you go by Ronaldo fanboy logic that means Neymar is better, which clearly he isn’t
@@rc1299 Again another person who can’t read. I never said Neymar was close to R9, no other striker in history is close to R9 except arguably Lewa and Luis Suarez (both players have the stats but football is about more than stats which is why I said R9 was the best striker of all time). I’ve only compared Neymar and Messi’s natural talent, nothing to do with are they close to R9 I’m literally just saying the natural talent they have is the closest I can think of to R9’s level of natural ability along with Maradona, Ronaldinho etc
This guy was a prototype! His talent is to this day unmatched! Never seen a more fascinating player as him! He was out out of this world...
for real, messi and neymar wasnt better wonder kids

True i think 70% football manias came from it.

yes sure 🤣
Football like Cinema and every other aspect of life has been Politicised. Go enjoy other stuff that doesn't give it power to grow further, but I'd be amazed if you do.
The Greatest of all time. Until the injuries. He still managed to win a Ballon d'Or and the World Cup. After the injuries.
It was really a shame his prime came this early in his career before injuries screwed him over.
He’s not even top ten 😂
@@fioredeutchmark yeah sure he is not even top 10 cause you play softball
Your opinion is not a fact, is just that, an opinion. Said that so Rivaldo, Romario, Ronaldinho, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are similar to him. Some people said Pelé, some Maradona, some Di Stéfano. Why comparison when everyone is diferent and also they play sometimes in just one position, what about the other players. Sometimes bein a fan blind your mind
Injuries are part of the game. He like almost every Brazilian get tracked brutally because of their style, that’s just the way it is.
I’m old enough to remember him in his prime and it was like watching absolute magic when he played no matter how boring the game was you waited with excitement for him to touch the ball he was an absolute super star and no where near human in footballing terms. I would go as far as to say he is above all of them, Messi, pele, Maradona, Cristiano, I think he was the best to ever play the game and only Ronaldinho was close.
U
he had it all and the only aspect ronaldinho is better is the supreme dribling out of this world
@@dadodjurovic8206 not really dribbling more skill
@@deisjj7285 quite correct .

Messi 91 goals in 2012
@@kouandtin8059 You mentioned Messi in several comments, understand one thing, we don't care, anyone who likes football knows how much R9 was bigger than Messi before his first injury, NO ONE comes close to Ronaldo in number of goals until he was 21 years old , I repeat, NOBODY. Messi and CR7 played in another era, Messi couldn't last half the season getting beat up in the Italian Serie A of the 90-00. Messi is a genius, but he never played against real defenders, nowadays he can't even have contact between players practically.
Prime shevchenko was as good.plus ronaldo could not play as good with hes head!!
@@UAkovalchuk 😂 😂 😂 🤣 🤣
@Joy Balonda will be? messi without xavi and iniesta in barcelona was just a shadow of his past. And it's not what I think, it's facts, just look at the numbers.
Ronaldo scored 47 goals in 48 matches as a 19-year old in his first season at FC Barcelona(1996/ 1997) And what is even crazier: before he joined FC Barcelona he already scored 44 goals in 47 matches at Cruzeiro(Brazil) and 54 goals in 57 matches at PSV (Hollanda/Eredivisie). At age 20, he scored around 160 goals in Brazil, Holland and Spain combined.
His first 3 clubs he averaged 0.92 GPG. Ridiculous really. It dropped to about 0.74 when he went to Italy but that was in the best defensive / lowest scoring league in the world. Then he got injured. Overall, his GPG is similar to CR7, but that includes his post injury stats too.
Who done it before ...
A true phenomenon!💚💛
@@davidgraham8058 gpg don't mean shit, how many goals has cr7 to cr9
@@shanehopper100 cr7 was scoring 6 goals a season at 19. There’s no doubt cr7 has had the better club career but comparing them injury free is no contest. Ronaldo at 19 was better than any version of cr7.
When we watched R9 played..just one word came in our mind..MONSTER...NO other footballers on earth gave me that feeling..even Messi even Cr7..watching R9 gave me goosebumps all over my body like so unreal
I know that feel. I never felt that from others. The man was so Ufo
Ronaldo was not the goat, he was the football itself, he was the god of football.
Loooool
What we must understand that this was the 90s. No internet nothing. I was 6 years old when i saw ronaldo. He was like a ferrari. The real football superstar i think
Pace, technique, dribling, composure. Oh man, what a perfect striker.
Also, unbelievable strength, balance and agility.
dont forget killer instinct
Having lived the times to see Cristiano, Messi, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Neymar, Kaka and a lot of other absolute great players play, the R9 before the injury was the absolute best I’ve ever witnessed. As a 14 year old PSV fan, this guy took my breath away when he came to Eindhoven and totally changed the way I experienced the game untill then. And that’s even after the Romario era and I had the privilege to see them play in our stadium. Now Cristiano and Messi are absolute legends for being consistent for over 16 years, that’s just mindblowing. But purely based on the game, R9 is truly the one and only Fenomeno. Such a shame he got injured, but even after that he managed to get back on top.
Without a doubt the Greatest Ever Talent the World has Ever Seen.. Some had better careers and some were consistent for longer period, but no one, I mean no one was this good with football at such a young age - a True phenomenon, the child prodigy we all love seeing time again.... and to be that 'No. 1' in the sport most people play in this world is absolutely breath taking !
Exactly. People confuse "best" with "greatest". The latter is determined by achievements, the former by absolute ability, and those are not the same thing. Pele and Messi had greater careers, but in terms of ability Ronaldo before injuries is still the best the game has ever seen.
@@GM53946 Good point!
@@GM53946ur eyes are spoiled if u feel R9 is better than Messi
@@sattiksaha6400 At his absolute peak he was. Didn't last long, so Messi is the greater player, but R9 could do things Messi could not. Size, speed and strength matter. R9 was impossible to stop even by a determined defense, while even prime Messi could be very successfully shackled by caging him with four defenders (it happened repeatedly for about a decade).
@@GM53946 in your dreams R9 is a better player, R9 can't even dribble past 3 opponents, R9 was stopped by France team in 1998, also R9 can't score without team, Messi is a one man army, he scores everything, be it free kicks or amazing passes, R9 can't even do that
The vibe was on another level when there were games in television in which he was playing. What a pleasure that i was able to see him play.
lilisnoopy90 i was thinking the same thing............You are right.
Amen!
Better than Messi.
you are so lucky. To me he is more than football, he’s god’s gift to humanity
RONALDO WAS A MONSTER. I LIKE HOW WHENEVER HE GETS THE BALL HE INSTANTLY RACES TOWARDS GOAL AS IF EVERY ATTACK HAS A DEADLINE. NONE OF HIS SKILLS WAS MEANT TO BE FLAMBOYANT AND SHOWING OFF, HE USED HIS DRIBBLING EFFECTIVELY TO BEAT DEFENDERS TO CREATE SPACE FOR HIMSELF AND SCORE. HIS SUPER-SONIC SPEED MIXED WITH GREAT BODY STRENGTH AND DRIBBLING SKILL MADE HIM UNPLAYABLE AT TIMES, TRULY A PHENOMENON R9
,The greatest to EVER play the game.
Glad to see Messi followed his footsteps with the way he drives the ball towards defenders and just making them nervous. Ronaldo was really a beast.
Any need for all thd CAPITALS
The only time in his career that he ran in the opposite direction was right before scoring his 3rd goal against Lithuania in 1996. That was a memorable hat trick.
A PlayStation real player
Just imagine, we all saw this man do unbelievable things for so long, win WCs, leagues, scoring records etc.....and we still never saw him reach his potential due to injuries. The most talented player ever.
Man everyone is just pulling his shirt and fowling him, and he still continues and scores. What an amazing football player.
God. How many goals he scored dribbled past goalkeepers! Unbelievable.
88 actually that makes 1 out of every 4 goals he scored
@@rannyranny64 That's incredible stats. Not everyone will think of that kind of finishing
@@renjitggt he has the record
Dribbled pass goalkeepers around 100 times . 88 goals out of those

Sancho, Haaland, Foden, Bellingham...add them all together and even combined they still don't make up as complete a footballer as Ronaldo (R9) was at the same age. The football knowledge, skill, speed, movement off the ball, finishing, dribbling... Ronaldo Nazario de Lima was quite simply the best player between 16-23 that the world has ever seen.
he was in very high level but sancho and foden have a big future ahead they are complete players

Hands up fans who used to watch football because of this Phenomen 👋
For me Ronaldo and Maradona are football. There are other majestic players, geniuses, but those two just had something else - an unpredictability, an inventiveness, an originality combined with physicality that I have never seen matched. When I see Messi and CR7 in their primes I see perfection, when I see R9 I see invetivness, power, creativity, manhood - in short I see the Brazilian footballing Achilles.
This guy didn’t just dribble past the players and score he basically run most of his goals into the net after taking it around the keeper never seen a player like him 🐐
Try #GEORGEBEST
Perfect! 👏👏👏
@@jackrambo1999I didn’t see George best but yes another amazing player 👌
Old enough to remember him as a 19 yr old kid, he was special. The way he glided and skpped past defenders was graceful.
Lucky you man. First time I saw him play live on tv was the 98' WC where he was tearing it up while not even at his best
Agreed, glide and skip. Always said that
it was funny how he followed Romario's footsteps, replaced Romario in PSV, and then replaced Romario in Barcelona, different type of strikers but admired them both...
@@Spank1n Ayyy man like Shorty 💯.... Romario is one of my goats. Penalty box murderer ⚽🔥 🎯
You must be pretty old then
Everybody that has seen him play, back in the day, understands. Raw skill, talent and flair, very much unmatched. Especially nowadays. We have to keep in mind that he is the same generation as Zidane, Ronaldinho etc. Playing against Italian Defenders like Maldini and Nesta, when defending was actually taken, seriously. Just another level altogether. The game has developed but is not as exciting anymore.
Spot on fella !! The game was a different breed then. Football was pure not like today's game full of overpaid fairy's .
When I read abt defending taken seriously, maguire popped into my head 🤣🤣💀
Lemme guess you were around 12-14 during these years.
Its not about defending was taken seriously, its back then you were able to hack players more freely, you could tug on shirts, you could slide from behind. It was just a much rougher game with the yellow and red cards being used less. Today its harder to play defense because you cant rely on those dirty tactics. I dont know if Ronaldo would have had a healthy career had they protected players back then, I think his explosiveness was just too much for his joints.
Everything said here about defenders is pure bs. Defenders were not tougher than today during Ronaldo's times. And I remember watching the games. Not like some here that just say it to make him more of a legend. Ronaldo was indeed an incredibly gifted player and the defenders were just normal defenders. Like today's defenders. They just couldn't stop him. He was too good.
I was so grateful seeing Ronaldo playing in his prime. He was the real playstation player in real life. His speed, body balance, accuracy, oh my God. Everytime he touches the ball, we raise from our seat expecting something wow happen. The best player of all time
Nobody have that kind of speed and skill in the same time, turbo form 0 to 100, shoting perfection and BALANCE GOD... never be another one, he was the chosen one.
So true !
If R9 ain't in your top 3 strikers of all time, you don't know ball simple 💯
Exactly
LW Nazario CF Pele RW Maradona
@@Kyle-uz1rp pele the fraud wouldn't even make the bench on a team with those players. R9 is the CF all day.
@@Tasmanaut Why in the world would think pele was a fraud - that is one of the worst misconceptions going around. Whoever started that had done absolutely no research and has no concept of how the game has evolved to become much less physical and easier because of the evolution of technology. If pele played with the lax offsides rule, the amazing pitches, a pair of mercurials and a modern ball he would be doing things that would make you rethink football.
@@Kyle-uz1rp he is literally a fraud. He lied about the number of goals he scored, and many of them were against amateur teams thrown together so that he could put on an exhibition against them. Maybe YOU should do your reasearch
The undisputed greatest of all time. And I had the privilege to watch him play at Inter. I've also watched Messi play live against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He couldn't handle the physicality... but Ronaldo sure could. He was an absolute monster. No other player in my opinion can come close to R9 at the peak of his performances.
Yeah
If it’s the 05/06 season you’re talking about Messi was the best player on th field….wtf are you talking about 😂
Messi’s passing is levels above R9. That does it for me.
@@Tiiczencr7 is sucks
You can’t take one Messi performance in isolation. He dismantled English teams after that.
Best _player_ in history. He managed to be one of the best in history even after getting career ending injuries. Did everything with clubs and country before and after injuries. Legend. I was just a kid when he was at Inter.
The world best player of all Time
Don't be soft
Agreed
at his prime, that level, is the best of all time
No,cr7 is better than him
@@manh1014 cr7 better than who in what lol dwl how many wc cr7 win and how many wc goals he have and how many wc he play in so far u think cr 7 could make Brazil bench at 17 did he made Portugal team at 17
Pure talent,gift from God,one and only Luis Nazario da Lima Ronaldo!!
His charisma and appearance is like Mike Tyson when he was younger and his Prime, scary and beast...
Yes they were both frightening.
he makes me think of Tyson as well !
He was unmatched! Never seen anything like it
The only thing that stopped Ronaldo from being the GOAT is injuries and discipline. The man won two Balon D’ors (should’ve been three) without really having a prime. By the time he was 21, he had WAY more goals than anyone in history.
Discipline is kinda like a myth. To be fair, he had a immune disease that would not allow his body to digest food/fat properly. It was only found out later, that's why he couldn't lose weight. Alongside with his knee issues, the weight which he couldn't lose added more pain to the knee... he was playing with handicaps most of his career.
@@decode3667 I think by discipline he was talking about R9’s lifestyle. The man was notorious for being a party animal and constantly drinking and smoking and going on trips to party. It’s weird how many of the biggest superstars of the past lived that lifestyle. R9, Maradona, George Best, Ronaldinho and even Beckham were all known to constantly party and do other substances yet were just incredibly gifted on the field. Makes you wonder how many of them would’ve been better had they lived a different lifestyle but that’s a question we’ll never know the answer to
@@israelhm7339 they wouldn't have been better. Geniuses need that. They have a special brain structure that makes them be how they are.
If R9 isn't the GOAT, I don't know who else can be.
Tinha menos gols que Pelé, apenas
R9 in his Barca and Inter days was the absolute bomb. He was always incredible but the knee hindered him after the injury. (gonna see nerds give me goals and stats now but I mean puerly just to watch of course).
There’s nothing nerds can tell you honestly. R9 dominated the world of football at 21 years of age, ballon dor, World Cup winner and best player for the best national team in the world, all at age 21. No other player did this. Both Messi and Ronaldo weren’t the best in the world at age 21, Kaká and others ruled over them.
@@Utygyihgfggc yes, I been saying this for years, maybe only Pele light the football field as yo. R9 been doing consistently since 19 yo. He even lost by ONE point to Sammer for Ballon D'or in 96. He was the world player at 20, 96. If talking about class, skills and talent is R9 without doubt for Messi I rate him highly. But for me it's R9, R10 Baggio, Messi, Van Basten and Zizou in particular order. I never watch Maradona live and his already past his best when I start watching football. R9 all the way.
Fat Ronaldo was still world class, prime Ronaldo was the GOAT. Liked to party apparently which didn't help.
His career graph is very similar to Eden Hazard though he was a notch above if primes are compared. He was known to be a lazy trainer and very laid back in his fitness regimen as his natural ability was way too high for his own good.
>gonna see nerds give me goals and stats It won't help to make the argument he was still the same -- the stats did go down.
Growing watching dis kid I neva thought he could loose a match he's like out of dis world I could bet the whole human race on him
I been watching football since 1986 to present and can say nobody has given me as much joy and excitement as r9 most talented player ever seen injury stopped him but my god before that he was a 1 man army
Just one in a billion freak mixture of strength, balance, speed and technique. He was an all around complete striker. I miss watching him.
He made me love football when i was a kid. He put the first spark in me that became a lifelong love of the beautiful game ⚽️⚽️⚽️
He was simply unstoppable. Young, quick, fast, great reflexes, incredible on his feet. He could score goals from any angle, round keeper, dribble any player. He was unmatched in skill, talent, quickness and flair for scoring goals from any possible angle.
Personally for me the best football player of all time! Incredible in all things he done! Love him so much 👌🏿
The best Ronaldo! By far! This one was genius!
Absolute genius! Not only the best striker in the world ever but the best footballer in the world ever. A joy the watch, put it this way never really had an interest in football until I saw this guy play, I could not believe my eyes! He could take on entire football teams on his own weaving in & out of them all at lightning speed & with breathtaking skill to successfully get the ball in the back of the net. The man was simply, El Phenomenal!
If R9 was born into this modern era of football. My word. All of sport science stuff backing him up. He'd be crazy.
Before the injury, he is the greatest player ever existed in history of football. Even greater than messi and cristiano. After that he is still great and a legend but not as great as before injury.
Ronaldo R9 would cost in today's football prices somewhere around 300 million. That's how good he was

r9 had no real peek tbh which is scary
As a striker? Man, would you believe if i say that here at Brazil we have a VERY good young footballer? His name is Endrick, 15 years, plays for Palmeiras under 17 and under 20 and he has 170 gols in 176 matches (71 in oficials tornaments organized by CBF or FPF). He also won this month the Worldcup Under-17 (he scored 5 gols in 4 matches). In few years you problably gonna heard about him.
Man always tried to stay on his feet no matter what even after some heavy challenges. Unlike todays so called best in the world who go down like they’ve been shot after being touched by a gust of wind.
May be that's why injury didn’t end thier career.... Defenders used to murder back then....
He was already out of this world when he played a PSV. The man, the myth, the legend.
At his peak, up there with Pele, Maradona and Messi.
Messi, WTF?????? Messi would have been nothing if it wasn't for Xavi and Iniesta.
@@SimonBriz cry your eyes out little kiddy, don't worry it will be ok
r9 had no real peak which is actually scary
At his peak? At his peak even God watch him in awe with mouth open..
R9, Pele, Maradona, prime Cristiano Ronaldo (created more chances than Messi did when they were both in their primes and I can back this up with data sets from Squawka, the analytics company which tracks footballing metrics: C.R. won 5 UCLs as top goal contributor - Goals + Assists, no other player in history has more than 3). That's the Mt. Rushmore. Messi is a great player but he has not won much without Xavi and Iniesta and that is a fact. He never won a UCL or multiple la Liga titles without Xavi and Iniesta both on the squad. He would not make my top 4. 7 Finals for Argentina: 0 goals 1 assist
His performance for madrid vs United at Old Trafford is probably the best individual effort I've seen. He got applauded off the pitch. Scored a hattrick
And that was after all those injuries
02-03 season was the last season his playing style showed any resemblance of the real Ronaldo. Too bad he became a pure goal poacher after that season as he started to gain weight due to hypothyroidism.
It's a blessing to watch the whole Brazilian squad on the field everyone's name started with R!!
Even though he's not my favorite player of all time everybody in this world knows that he was the most dangerous in his prime years, the way his enemies talk about him as if he was their idol just shows what kind of a player he is. There will be no other Il Fenomeno.
Glitch in the matrix, runs through players like fifa. Phenom
You have world players of the years like Zidane,Ronaldinho,Kaka, legends, coaches who have won Champions leagues or coached current generation Messi or CRonaldo and they all say Phenomenon is the best they had ever seen. Sheesh, even Zlatan has a man-crush on the guy. Michael Owen who is Euro player of the year even said he is the best he had ever seen and made it a point he was talking about the Brazilian Ronaldo. The whole French National team who end up winning the word cup are just in awe of Ronaldo and talk about him like his is a magician. Take note Ronaldo played in the era of legendary defenders such as Maldini,Nesta, Stam, Desailly and Ronaldo had two major knee injuries. Im sure if he was injured free he would of surpassed players like Pele and Maradona.

A hero of a whole and lucky generation. You saw that yellow R9 jersey everywhere. Instead of beeing like Mike you, want to be like R9. Of course because football is your love. Ronaldo was a smiling killer on the pitch and at the same time a humble and fair sportsmen. And on top of that, he was creating magic everytime with the ball on hes feet. What a come back he had. Never gave up. He was not crazy when it comes to train. But he proved the doctors wrong telling him it might be over and he will not play anymore. He worked for his big comeback because he loves the game of football. After the final 2002 i had a tear in my eye while smiling and said to my friends…at least it was my idol scoring two goals against us. 😅😍

I once heard a doctor say that the injuries he suffered were just a matter of time, he was not gonna be able to avoid them. The Dr. said this was due to the things he did on the pitch, at the speed he used to play and the explosiveness he had just weren't normal and weren't sustainable for a human body. His body was gonna give up sooner or later.
Yeah, but with today's treatments, he could have lasted longer.
@@dradenhaven1549 More importantly, with today's manicured lawns. The thing is that when you run that fast and quickly change directions at that speed on some potato field it places enormous stress on your knees. They are still stressed on a smooth surface, but a lot less because each step lands reliably. Unfortunately, the San Siro in the late 90s was notorious for the atrocious state of the pitch. Just watch some of the footage and you will see it easily. And it wasn't just the San Siro, there was much worse elsewhere, and most stadiums in Italy had very low-quality grass. So it is no coincidence that he broke down once he moved to Italy. He still probably would have eventually broken down had he stayed in Barcelona, but his chances to last longer were better there.
It was a matter of time indeed, in fact people were predicting it already in the winter of the 96-97 season when he was still with Barcelona -- precisely with the argument that he runs too fast and his knees will blow up. Which they eventually duly did.
@@GM53946 Damn! I didn't know that... I didn't have the privilege to watch him live so I wouldn't know what people used to say before it happened.
@@GM53946 I heard they bulked him up fast at inter.. and of course his tendons would not keep pace with the added load of a forced bulk up.
I don't care about longevity, I don't care about how many goals and assists, I don't care how many balon d'ors you have... this man here at the peak of his powers without injuries, was the best ever. Fully fit at the top of his game, better than anyone's prime
he never trained either, 0 fitness training, 0 diet, 0 tactical training he just loved the game and played for fun
It was such a pleasure watching this genius play. Absolute wizard!
I used to pretend I was him playing football in my youth. I'm pleased I witnessed such greatness
I respect CR7 and Messi so much. They're both beasts and deserve all the praise. But if you think any of them is the goat, it's because you didn't get to see R9 playing.
R9, who i watched from his Inter time until his last Real Madrid game, could born 4 times that he wouldnt be half a Cristiano Ronaldo. That simple.
@@notdn right. Watch Zidane, Mourinho (people who actually understand football) among others talking about R9. Zidane even was CR7 coach and he still knows who was The real Ronaldo.
@@diogobfonseca Zidane has said 3 times (that i recall) that the real Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, is the greatest footballer ever. Less subjectivity/bias and more reality, please.
@@notdn how old are you, champ?
No its because they did it for 20 years and R9 couldnt because of injuries and ill discipline off the field. He is as talented as those guys but his body couldn't stand up to playing 60 games a season for 20 plus years and the other 2 guys did.
Um corpo humano não resiste ao futebol que tinha o Ronaldo, muitos podem ter mais títulos, gols e etc, mas futebol ninguém tem mais do que esse homem.
natural né mano nasceu pra isso, sem comparar mas é tipo o Messi, sem "esforço"
vdd
Os caras tentavam derrubar ele a todo custo, mas ele não desistia !
@@Joao-nt2io a diferença é que o Ronaldo tinha um físico melhor que o do Messi (natural) tinha mais de 1,83 de altura e era ambidestro ,e não precisava de um time bom pra jogar pra ele ,ele jogava sozinho
He was a beast. Talent yet to be repeated
His quick burst and tapping the ball up front before it even lands on the ground after a high ball was just amazing.
The true GOAT💪💯
he was simply great of all time, when I saw him during my childhood, he stays in my mind, when I closed my eyes, I saw the playing vision of him..... he was my footballing hero ...
That was that football where you never went down! Just powered through everything & scored at will! Basic low ball goals still did the job!
I remember Inter with Ronaldo played against my home team Spartak Moscow back in 1998. Sure we wanted our side to win and I remember the concern that every chance the defense line loses focus can be and will be immediately and lethally used by the guy.
I do remember how we (Inter) won that game in Moscow…. My god that was worst pitch I’’ve ever seen in my life. And that Ronaldo goal was out of this world.
@@andrethethrashe Yeah, I also couldn't help noticing the awful condition of the pitch. Winter it was. And Russian winters are brghh. :)
His Speed , Technic, Bodycontrol, and finishing was Perfect . The Last Striker El Phenomeno
His ability to stop the ball, stop his body, dribble the ball and beat a man all at the same time is insane. He's motionless and past you before you can register it in your brain. Phenomenal
Esse homem jogava futebol do jeito q a gente sonhava em jogar quando eramos crianças!
Pra frente e pra dentro do gol com bola e tudo. Não era essa feiura de jogo de equipe… de tocar pro lado e pra tras… objetivo era se a bola chegar no meu pé eu vou colocar ela dentro do gol.
Absolutely.
Goat
Best number 9 and CF ever. This guy was still a beast after the career ending injury!
I seen him play and he was unreal, skillful in every department. I don’t think we will see another player like him. Simply the 🐐
absolutely breath-taking.. When I first watched him in 1998 world cup I was in awe.. since then he became my uno numero number 1.. Messi and CR7 are GOATs no doubt but this guy in his prime use to give a shivering through the spine whenever he touched the ball..
Best that ever did it. Unbelievable player.
Maradona & Ronaldo da Lima are the best players in the history of football, ever.
There's only one Ronaldo...and He is the Fenomino. Period!
Oh come on CR7 has the most international goals ever I preferred watching R9 but CR7 is arguably the greatest ever
He played at a time when defenders were thug life and not afraid to stick a leg out lol. Makes his accomplishments even more special than LM or CR.
One for all. R9 the El fenomeno the Greatest player in History & only one in this world , we can't never see again a player like R9 born in this world
Ronaldo highlights is like the best action movie of all time... I never get tired of watching
Greatest player of my lifetime 🙏🏻
Brilliant at Dribbling, Speed, Control, Strength, no weak foot, Passing and most importantly making fool of gk almost every time is absolutely insane. The phenomenon
