I totally understand how people would think the numbers are fake or lies. However from my memories of his entire career to the many videos of KZhead.. NEVER EVER have I seen the acceleration that R9 had in particular when he first went to Barca. Kaka also said that when the Brazilian team trained for the World Cup none of them could beat Ronaldo in sprints.

@leolare2 жыл бұрын
@@leolare I think Messi is better than the others, simply because Messi is so good, in so much. R9 and Maradona are all time dribblers Ronaldinho, R9, Maradona and Neymar are all time technicians Laudrup, Xavi, De Bruyne (yes he is recent but his skill is undeniable) are all time creators Pirlo, Xavi, Scholes are all time passers Juninho, Beckham, Mihajlovic are all time dead ball specialists CR7, Müller, Pele, Puskas, Romario, these were all time goalscorers. I say Messi simply because he is all time in everything. Take the last decade for example. People see Messi and Ronaldo (CR7) as goalscorers, so it's no surprise they were the most prolific in 2010-2020. However, people don't also realise that Messi created more than anyone else, assisted more than anyone else, scored freekicks more than anyone else, passed better than *almost* everyone else (through balls, short-quick, long balls, all of it). The argument for Messi is that, he is simply amongst the best of all time in so many categories. All these other major players mentioned excelled in one, maybe even two or three things, but Messi is so proficient, and so prolific in almost all aspects of the offensive game. That's the difference. R9 could pass well, but not 'amongst the best in football history', well. Laudrup could score, but not at a high level level. Pele and Romario had great control and technique, but not the highest level, i.e. technique on the ball like R10, Messi or Neymar. Messi is the odd one out, because I have never seen this combination of being amongst the best in football history, in: Goals scored Finishing ability (not always directly correlated to number of goals scored) Passing ability Assists Vision - through balls etc. Creativity on the ball - ability improvise and create a goalscoring chance out of seemingly nothing Strike Technique - linked to finishing and passing ability, this is just the way in which the player strikes the ball. For example, amongst active players KDB and Messi have the best strike technqiue. Control - both controlling a ball to a dead spot, and controlling it on the move, and close control as part of the next category, which is Dribbling - not much needs to be said here for Messi, we all know. Tactical awareness - the impact a player has without necessarily having the ball at his feet. Off ball movement is up there with CR7, although people tend to miss it. All I'm saying here, to wrap it up is, Messi is amongst the best passers, playmakers, goalscorers, dribblers, technicians and finally dead ball specialists of all time. That's why I think he is the best. I have never seen that combination. R9 had the unusual combinations of being strong/stocky yet very skilled, and also being extremely fast yet controlled on the ball at the same time. But at the output end of it, this didn't equal absurd ability in every aspect of the game like Messi. R9 was rapid, could score at will, extremely skilled on the ball, but only passed well, created well - that is, he did it well, no doubt, but not " _amongst the best passers and creators in football history_ " well. That's what I mean. What do you think?

İf he Never injure he will be The Real Ronaldo
@@KayraXKayraAntiPetese He already is the real Ronaldo
El fenomeno. What a player. The greatest ❤️
he was the fastest player even after the injury 98 speed and 99 acceleration
Could break Usain Bolts 100m record running with a football lol 😂
You are a pes player ?
Thierry Henry was faster than post-injury R9.
@@princesofthepower3690 No, but very fast yes
@@michaelmullins8866 good joke for 1.april :)
Strong, Fast, and Technical. He was complete
Best striker of all time and one of the best forwards of all time. He definitely could of played as a left winger or right winger!
He plays like the player with 99 ratings in Amateur difficulty. LEGEND!
greatest of all time... what a player ..a treat to watch.
This guy is the Greatest of All time look at how deep he drop to create play. If he play as pure no 9 poacher like Lewandowski it will prolong his career and maybe dont get injured
He just wasn't - there are camera frames missing. Mad skills, ball control, deception, dexterity and his frame/ strength are what a young R9 was known for. He was the best dribbler i've ever seen from the old school.
Exactly
Man, Ronaldo was the real deal. Miss seeing him play...
@john Cenna I have the same 6 names in a different order Diego, Ronaldo, Messi , Zidane, Ronaldinho CR7 but you cant really compare, Vision and craft Zidane, best forward Ronaldo, Best wing forward Messi, Most complete CR7 , highest natural ability Diego, best trick player of all time Ronaldinho R9 and Ronaldinho would top the list if they held their peak for 10 years, sharing with Maradona
@@jacksmith4460 Diego was the GOAT !
Maradona 1st for me ..why? coz the way he enchanted the whole world back then where there's no sattalite TV nor internet plus he has this special aura within him that can send players and spectators into euphoria whenever he is on the field...he is the first true maestro/mega star of the game ...2nd is Ronaldo eventhough he is my favorite of all time ..then come the rest in the like of Zidane Messi Ronaldinho CR7 (with special mention for the like of Marco Van Basten,George Weah, e.t.c).
CR7 is not a complete player he is only a goal scorer MESSI is the complete player with both Scoring and Playmaking ability.
@john Cenna Roberto Baggio should be in top 5.
6:23 The defender behind him got a cramp mannnnn, just to tell you it was so difficult to catch him 😂😂😂😂 LEGEND
Aha aha ma leg ma leg 😂🤣
I've watched this video like three hundred billion times and never realized that.
He’s Thiago Motta Lol 😂
I remember a game vs Valencia when he was playing for Barca, when he scored the hatrick, he was fouled or tackled first..down to the ground, but then get back up and dribble past 4 defenders(without losing the fcking ball)...the last defender tried to bodied him but he didn't fall down....and scored. goddem.
Foi contra o lacorunha
And they mention Cristiano and Messi 😂. Ronaldo won basically EVERYTHING apart from champions league before 21 in the hardest era. That there alone is scary
I remember when I was small I always struggled with the ball control, especially when going fast. Ronaldo is just so good with it, it seems so smooth.
Talk about pace, In his "peak" he was absolutely fast, faster than anybody else on the pitch. Even with bad knees (2002 onwards) and health conditions that made him losing his rapid pace and forced him to change his style of play by relying more on his clinical finishing, he was still fast. To me, there's only one Ronaldo and he came from Brazil.
Ronaldo speed was unreal. At 6:42, his body moves so fast he seems to be a glitch or bug in a videogame !
Mbappe (speed) Messi (dribble) and Lukaku (power) = R9
Neymar (drible)

Greatest dribbling and acceleration in football history, and that at 22 years.I wonder what he could have become if it wasn't for the injuries
What's amazing was his acceleration point. Reach his Max speed in about 2 second he started running. It's like he got some kind of overpowered engine.
Not just speed, he was able to dribble at such high pace. Unreal!
3:45 Look at that insane quick feet, how many steps he had done in just 5 seconds?
He receiving the ball while his back turned to opponent’s goal and then turn and run in split second like he already was running towards opponents goal at his maximum pace. Crazy!😮😮😮 Legend! 👏👏👏💪🏼
Those insane turns were the big reasons his knees gave up
@@prajaktlade not really! All those wild tackles on him like they wanted to chop his legs off was the reason he got injured so many times. Those turns probably weakened his knees but not that much!
@@bo4Elite those sudden twists put high pressure on his knees and yes the tackles of his opponents made it even harder
When ur playing in serie a against the best defenders in the world that happens
The fitness trainer he had while at Inter said his 60m sprints were 6.2 - 6.5 seconds (36 km/h) At Madrid his 60 sec sprints were around 7.5 - 7.8 (31km/h)
Can’t be 6.2 that would mean he is the fastest man to ever run 60 meters
haha 6.2 - the world record is 6.32.....
The trainer at Cruzeiro, his first club, said that he run 10.2 at 100m
@@allcorts5997 haha what an absolute pile of shit. 11.2 maybe.....
I totally understand how people would think the numbers are fake or lies. However from my memories of his entire career to the many videos of KZhead.. NEVER EVER have I seen the acceleration that R9 had in particular when he first went to Barca. Kaka also said that when the Brazilian team trained for the World Cup none of them could beat Ronaldo in sprints.
This guy was like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo combined into one.
yess
He is known as the real ronaldo on the streets of turkey
Real ones for sure know this is the original Ronaldo love that man
Everywhere
Not just turkey but everywhere.
In ireland we call him Fat Ronaldo... said with love and respect though
@@callmedeno Ronaldo is not fat. the other Ronaldo is very weak. 🙃 but muscular weak 😋
Now thatz y he was called the phenomenon ... fast like a bullet built like a tank and out of the world skills... miss golden era brazilians ...
Nunca vi otra cosa igual, en España 1996-7, era EL FENOMENO!!! IMPARABLE Técnica suprema y velocidad
The owner of Torque, it's amazing how you can see him dueling against opponents on any side of the field, running with the ball at his feet, imposing his own laws on the scorers. This guy had the greatest field presence I've ever seen, especially after his return in 2002.
Yep I lived those days and watched those matches live, and the new generation remember only R7 and Messi , will not understand that !
If you were opposing team fan you start sweating as soon as he gets the ball, turns towards goal and starts running even when he's near the center of the field. He was the most feared player ever. This is coming from Milan's fan.
Yeah that turn + sprint was deadly af. Cant believe legendary defenders got caught by it like a bunch of amateurs but that what makes him phenomenal. He makes legends looks like a fool.
He's that one character who got nerfed not to break the games
Cristiano and Messi have probably had better careers, but by God - in terms of natural talent, Ronaldo is without equal.
He’s a mix of both actually! Too bad his knee injuries at 23 let him down! He was untouchable
@@brbrasil2010 He was still good in world cup 2002 and also won it
At the age of 21: Ronaldo scored 152 goals in 163 matches Cristiano scored 42 goals in 184 matches Ronaldo already won a Ballon d'Or at 21 yrs 4 months. 1 Copa America and 1 World Cup (even though he made no appearance in that tournament.) This quick display of stats speaks volumes (its just a supplement to the fact that he is the best, not a primary comparison method.)
claro que tiveram o cara passou quase 5 anos parado por lesões kkk
melhores pôr que o fenômeno ficou parado lesionado varios anos na carreira,compara antes da contusão pra ver a distância dos três kkk
0:29 detalhe: prorrogação de um jogo insano em termos físicos contra uma das melhores zagas da Holanda da história
Ronaldo is an emotion
He terrorized the Greatest Defensive Generation and Era ever. Let that sink in.
Well said 👏
I never realized how fast he was. He didn't really ever have that sleek kind of look, so it is good to learn this.
He was that legendary player with every stat 100/100
the best player i like skill n speed until now...amazing n superb wonderful Ronaldo brazil prolong he carrier n will remember all the fans forever
4:47 and he's is beating that dude running off the field 😂 What a freak of nature R9 fenomenon 🇧🇷
Cuando se lesionó en el Inter, fue uno de los momentos más tristes para el fútbol. Tenía toda su carrera por delante y el destino desgraciado nos privó de presenciar ese espectáculo que solamente él podría regalarnos. Ese día el fútbol perdió, nunca volvió a ser el mismo después 😢😞
the title: ronaldo was insanely fast me: these youtubers always exaggerate me after watching video: damn, title was exactly right.
Not only fast! Also controlled speed which is why he is the best! He is the most dominant player in football history.
even the world's best keeper Kahn saluted him
Original Ronaldo is the player who had everything from Speed, Dribbling, Skill, Vision and Control. He was the player who inspired generation. What a player he was.
He was not just fast, he was fricking fast with the ball on his feet. Magical
I beleive that he is the best player ever in history (fast, skillful, accurate shooter)
I've been saying this for ever but people usually disagree and tell me Messi is better.
@@leolare I think Messi is better than the others, simply because Messi is so good, in so much. R9 and Maradona are all time dribblers Ronaldinho, R9, Maradona and Neymar are all time technicians Laudrup, Xavi, De Bruyne (yes he is recent but his skill is undeniable) are all time creators Pirlo, Xavi, Scholes are all time passers Juninho, Beckham, Mihajlovic are all time dead ball specialists CR7, Müller, Pele, Puskas, Romario, these were all time goalscorers. I say Messi simply because he is all time in everything. Take the last decade for example. People see Messi and Ronaldo (CR7) as goalscorers, so it's no surprise they were the most prolific in 2010-2020. However, people don't also realise that Messi created more than anyone else, assisted more than anyone else, scored freekicks more than anyone else, passed better than *almost* everyone else (through balls, short-quick, long balls, all of it). The argument for Messi is that, he is simply amongst the best of all time in so many categories. All these other major players mentioned excelled in one, maybe even two or three things, but Messi is so proficient, and so prolific in almost all aspects of the offensive game. That's the difference. R9 could pass well, but not 'amongst the best in football history', well. Laudrup could score, but not at a high level level. Pele and Romario had great control and technique, but not the highest level, i.e. technique on the ball like R10, Messi or Neymar. Messi is the odd one out, because I have never seen this combination of being amongst the best in football history, in: Goals scored Finishing ability (not always directly correlated to number of goals scored) Passing ability Assists Vision - through balls etc. Creativity on the ball - ability improvise and create a goalscoring chance out of seemingly nothing Strike Technique - linked to finishing and passing ability, this is just the way in which the player strikes the ball. For example, amongst active players KDB and Messi have the best strike technqiue. Control - both controlling a ball to a dead spot, and controlling it on the move, and close control as part of the next category, which is Dribbling - not much needs to be said here for Messi, we all know. Tactical awareness - the impact a player has without necessarily having the ball at his feet. Off ball movement is up there with CR7, although people tend to miss it. All I'm saying here, to wrap it up is, Messi is amongst the best passers, playmakers, goalscorers, dribblers, technicians and finally dead ball specialists of all time. That's why I think he is the best. I have never seen that combination. R9 had the unusual combinations of being strong/stocky yet very skilled, and also being extremely fast yet controlled on the ball at the same time. But at the output end of it, this didn't equal absurd ability in every aspect of the game like Messi. R9 was rapid, could score at will, extremely skilled on the ball, but only passed well, created well - that is, he did it well, no doubt, but not " _amongst the best passers and creators in football history_ " well. That's what I mean. What do you think?
@@christianindividual4550 Ronaldo is fullpackage, Speed, dribbling skills, Power, Pace, Strenght, Finishing, Ronaldo on his peak, Barça and Internazionale, is probably the best player ever.
@@christianindividual4550 I take disrespect to you saying messi is better than r9 and marandona.
@@Arte0ntv probably the best striker but not the best player in general
now i understand how he got injured. Not even his knees could handle the speed 😨😨😨😨😨
He does exactly what the manager doesn't want as a breaking(Needs to have support of pass) and scores indeed what manager wants in the end!!!
Very fast, amazing dribbler, and physically strong. The greatest striker of all time, and the most complete player.
For me he was the perfect player. Better than Messi, CR7 or even Pele
yeah, Messi ronaldo, cruyff, and others, were consistent, but it wasnt the case for R9 sadly
R9 was an Alien, people just didn't know that he had an entire speedometer system at his thighs and calves
fast, strong, precise, and smart.
indeed , for me after Pele, his is the best player together with maradona
Me : how can someone be able to run with the ball faster than without. Ronaldo : yes !
R9's top speed was very good but there are other players with top speed at that level, the secret is his acceleration. R9 can burn you in two or three strides.
Very good observation
Explosive pace and power from a standing start , no defender could live with him
His top speed was very good i agree. But dribble speed and acceleration made huge impact
Exactly. I think kaka could beat him in top speed, but definitely not in acceleration from a start position.
@@ivocoelho6588 Not a chance Kaka is touching him at top speed , Kakas great ability was there wasn’t much difference between his top speed with or without the ball but in a 100m race a prime Ronaldo would burn Kaka .
if Mbappe is fast with the ball imagine Ronaldo is super fast with the ball. Unstoppable!! I never see someone faster than Ronaldo (before his injuries) And imagine we never see Ronaldo in his true prime age how great should be because he was already injured bad back to back
Exactly, that’s the scary thing about him. He never had a prime. In his teenage years, Ronaldo had simply alienesque abilities before the injuries. Just phenomenal! Literally a cheat code. Ronaldo is arguably the best footballer that has ever existed.
We will never see a full player like him.They come and go but for me he is still my assasin.
R9's pace in real madrid was underrated
Saw him play live many times, he used to glide across the pitch.
Stunning footballer. Him and Zidane best of that generation for me.
@john Cenna kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk will comment golf, you don't understand anything about football
@john Cenna Lol. Messi doesn`t even get close to Ronaldo or Rivaldo. Zidane is bellow those two and there were a lot of other better players such as Maradona, Zico, Pelé, a bunch of them were better than these you mentioned.
@john Cenna he beat in one game, moron. Each game has a different story. Zizou was great, but didn`t get even close to these guys. And before them Brazil had a lot of other greater players. Just go watch the brazilian team from 1970 or 1982 and you will see it.
@john Cenna Ronaldinho played with high performance from 1999 to 2007. Then he was just kidding around. Go watch him playing by gremio or PSG and in the brazilian selections from sub15 to the adult team.
"Ronaldo was football for us" - Zlatan That should tell you everything
Friend, do you know the name of the first music, if you know me, can you tell me please?
for me he is the best footballer in footballhistory ! he come to run to the goal and score with his magic ! ronaldo and maradonna
Probably the fastest player ever running with the ball. Insane speed with control. There might be faster out there, but not with the ball at their feet.
Lio? Magnet and running at full speed. Conducting the ball while running for me is messi 1st and then a close 2nd between R9 and Maradona
But r9 is faster than Leo. R9 hits the ball slightly forward but still in control and that let’s him run faster. Messi has the ball glued to his feet, so that slightly reduces his speed.
R9 Fenomeno and Kaka are the only two showed great flair, strong, insane speed with ball when I grow up, There's no other player in current era can repeat what they did due to the tactics changed.
true
The man, the legend, O fenomeno was faster with the ball at his feet than players chasing after him without a ball. The best player i ever saw, I only wish he would of never gotten injured the way he did. 🤙✌️
His acceleration speed is the best in football history! Just magical R9
