@@MrKevCoan how you going to say 12 year old kid when mostly 12 year old kids now don't know who this man is lmao you stupid af. Ronaldinho to some people is the best player for different reasons. Dude always had a smile on his face and the way he played made alot of people fall in love with the sport myself included, watching him since I was 10. His handles and skills is unmatched.
i am a real madrid fan but ronaldinho was the one that made me love football , i remember as a kid i used to watch him play and then go out for the whole day and practice all the stuff he do and i got so good at it , the big dudes at my hood used to ask me to play with them all time i was like 8yo , they were like 14
Ronaldinho is considered the most skilled player in history. conquered many important titles in its peak that unfortunately lasted only a short time. He does not have a career like that of Cristiano and Messi. But at its peak it was the best the world saw with the ball at its feet. his charismatic and Brazilian way enchanted the world. Because Brazil is considered the country of football. It inspired players, it won everything a player can win. made history in the selection where he won a World Cup (most important football championship). He's a legend.
Hands down he is the most skilled player in history, was the perfect mix of showmanship and competitiveness bro knew when to show off and when to get down to business on the field if only he had some discipline off the field then he could possibly have a higher claim in the GOAT conversation but then again he achieved so much at such a young age it's hard not to lose focus.
Ronaldinho's greatest legacy is how he showed the world how joyful the game of football really is. He smiles when he wins, he smiles when he loses. Heck he even smiles when he misses a penalty kick. That's to show how much one can love football beyond the fame, wealth and achievements. And he's loved by so many because of that, and the game of football continues to be the most popular sport in the world to this day.
True that. This is the most joyful player I've ever seen playing this game. I mean even prison couldn't take the joy for the game out of the guy. I don't know what took his fellow inmates, but they challenged him to a game. Well, you can imagine the rest. He proceeded to wiping the prison floor with everybody. :D
He was a modern day Garrincha. Great dribbling skills and the same care-free attitude. Garrincha didn't even know a lot of the time who he was playing against, he'd ask at half-time: who are we playing? It didn't matter, for him it was all about the joy of the game. This is why Brazilians nicknamed him: Alegria do Povo (the joy of the people).
@@leguel28 the guy is a Legend, the criminal factions on the prison made a cease fire to the guy(usually rival factions have to be completely isolated from one to another because will strangulate each other if nothing on the hands), both teams are delight to meet the guy even if to take an ass whooping.
He is the only soccer player/ legend with no haters in his whole career. Opponents even loved to play against him because he always made the game fun with his skills
@@bennybtv5912 100% agree, Messi and Ronaldo are very good! also but if u watch them and compare them to Ronaldinho they look kinda stiff, but hey its probably their style, Ronaldinho's ball control is unmatched lol
@@BulletESV there is no wrong it what you are saying , ronaldinho was the best at his pick powers , but hey , ronny is the cause of players trying to be that good , so well done!!
My dear americans, here is something you need to know about "soccer": There might be more efficient players in football history than "dinho", like Messi and Christiano Ronaldo. They are just unhuman goal and stat-machines who do their shit for a way longer time than dinho. But no one ever was more skilled then Ronaldinho. He didn´t even try as hard as a CR7, he was a pure brazilian "for fun" footballer. Summary: Christiano is a freakin robot, Messi is an Alien and Ronaldinho a magician.
Christina is cry baby, and if things doesn't goes his way he sulk like a little girl, Christina just stay in the game longer ,if his career was as short as Ronaldinho Nazario, he would not exist!!
I’m American but this guy is the reason I fell in love with soccer way back in like 2006 when I was kid, in fifa 07 and the Fifa World Cup game, I always played with Brazil just to play with him
Not the first. Apparently Maradona did too, but I didn't see that match. I did see Ronaldinho's though -- magnificent! www.givemesport.com/1530130-el-clasico-the-barcelona-and-real-madrid-players-who-got-standing-ovations-from-opposition-fans
That award is the highest accolade as far as personal achievements.. that means your the beat player in the world .. mvp is more of a league award .. the ballon d or is including every league in the world
@@paquinraino8180 Messi is not like MJ, but Allen Iverson and Ronaldinho both have the similarity that they mainly played street football/basketball and implented that into a professional league.
No Ronaldinho is the Magic Johnson the most flashy player ever and at his peak he was better than both Ronaldo and Messi, but didn't have the longevity. Ronaldo is the LeBron James of soccer and Messi the Michael Jordan of soccer.
You are right about his name, it's basically little Ronaldo, he was the smallest kid in the early days in Gremio (his first team). For me he's one of the best ever for sure, he's career wasn't the longest but he won everything and still to this day one of the most skillfull players ever. He was applauded from the fans from the biggest rival from Barcelona (Real Madrid), this is really rare to happen. And I think u guys would like to see some plays from Ronaldo Nazario "the phenomenon", he was something else too, the best attacker that I saw playing
His career was not the longest because he loved to party and eat steak. Sometimes he even arrived at training sessions hungover, and still gave a show every weekend. Search google images of Ronaldinho and his hard core party lifestyle.
The only other people I know to get applauded from either camp nou or SB is Iniesta, Xavi, Casillas, R9, laudrup, cruyff, Puskus, puyol, Raul and Xabi Alonso
This guy revolutionized football, it’s like a Harlem Globetrotter going to the NBA and winning a chip, being regular season and playoff MVP, go to the hall of fame while not changing his globetrotter kind of game. Ronaldinho took training filed gimmicks, used them in real match situations and made it work at the highest level.
He truly was a magician with the ball, unlike anyone else before or after. The fact that he used the gimmicks in matches as you said, was just unheard of, but amazing nonetheless, breathtaking at times.
in the USA, we need the sports to be like this level, so far only Jordan has managed to elevate a sport in the USA to magic, art, and science level of entertainment!
Everyone loves Ronaldinho. When Ronaldinho scored for Barcelona against their hated enemies, Real Madrid, the Madrid fans stood up to applaud him. I’m a Barcelona fan, but I know that Madrid fans only accept the greatest. They are kind of self-entitled like that, but it also means they know pure gold when they see it. Plus Ronaldinho’s attitude to the game is uplifting. The only other player that got that treatment was Maradonna I believe. Messi is the greatest Barca player, but Madrid fans will never give him a standing ovation.
@@patchoockkmedor2561 Cristiano and Messi are the best players ever, nobody is even near them. so dont say the original ronaldo because Cr7 took over that name.
12:03 This goal is so underrated. Slow this down and see what he did. Surrounded by a crowd of players he can barely even see the goal, he just danced and then shoot the ball. No space, no backlift, the ball went like a bullet straight to the goal. BTW the goalkeeper was Petr Cech, probably the best goalkeeper at that time and one of the best all time. He didn't even get a chance to move. There will never be another goal like this, ever.
The end where you spotted Messi is Messi's first goal for Barca assisted by Ronaldinho, you should check out Brazilian Ronaldo (R9, phenomeno) who played alongside Ronaldinho for Brazil, probably the deadliest striker ever, trust me you will not be disappointed if you like skills, others to consider are current Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, Robinho, Thierry Henry, Roy Keane (incredible captain and leader most players feared) Roberto Baggio, JayJay Okocha, Steven Gerrard, Kaka, goalkeepers Peter Schmeichel, Manuel Neuer and Iker Casillas, 3 of the greats include Pele, Maradonna (who had a cocaine problem but was insane at football) and George Best who played with an alcohol problem..love the reactions and hope you pick a few of these up.
Ronaldinho was the only Barcelona player to have received a standing ovation and applauseby the entire Santiago Bernabeu when he was calling in to be replaced. His performance that day was so good even Real Madrid fans couldn't do anything but applause his performance
He could have been the GOAT but he was too much of a party boy, even though he sometimes missed trainings for going to the club every manager wanted him on their team. But he never reached his extreme athletic and physical potential he was raw talent and magic. He is a still a legend of the game, known as El Mago or La Sonrisa del futbol. (the magician and the smile of soccer)
I remember two games against my club for champions league quarter finals. Our defensive midfield is probably still following him to this day lol, Ronaldinho did nothing in those two games, Barcelona took the win 1-0 agreggate. But Ronaldinho didn't look bad, he was just pure class on the ball, even when he couldnt preform is best for whatever reason. He just put the ball across the pitch right in some other guys feet.
Ronaldinho is the greatest Football instinct to ever kick the ball. Funniest part is he was never serious about it. He used to miss training sessions and party hard.
Don't get me wrong, obviously love people getting to know and reacting to Ronaldinho, he truly is a God of the game, and we probably won't ever see someone like him again, but I think youtubers that react to him should watch a lot of other football players before, and have a really good understanding of the game, so they can actually truly appreciate how good this guy was, to understand how rare it is to find a player like him in terms of entertainment, skill,playing the game like he did and being effective is so damn hard, he literally was worth the ticket.
@@theroof6378 same, i honestly see him as the goat xD Messi's statistics are great and shit, but when it comes to raw skill, and how good someone is at the game, I think no one surpasses Ronaldinho, honestly unstoppable, Sérgio ramos still has nightmares from that night of the first Ronaldinho El classico
The biggest talent football world has ever seen. He played with such joy that you could see in his game. Its shame we didn't have more of prime Ronaldinho but what we did have was pure magic.
@@diazsangeve I can see your pont and though its not easy to name GOAT he is there for sure. But I never said Ronaldinho is greatest player but greatest talent world have seen. If he had more discipline and desire he would be in GOAT conversation no dobt. But for what "little" time of hise prime we saw it was pure magic.
Soy de costa rica y madridista desde que naci pero ver a ronaldinho fue algo increible...magia pura Ver como todo el Santiago Bernabeu se puso de pie para aplaudirle es epico
I’ve seen people that have no bias react the same way. It’s nice to see neutral reactions. Most people that follow football will have an opinion and make valid points. But I feel we as soccer fans have a bias. People that don’t know much have an unfiltered unbiased opinion. Love how they compared Ronaldinho to MJ. 🐐
Ronaldinho é o jogador mais habilidoso que já existiu. Ninguém nunca chegou nem perto de conseguir fazer as coisas que ele fazia em campo. Era um monstro!
@@fejopemoto That was words of humility, as I was encouraging Messi at the beginning of his career, however, skills like these no one has had in football to this day, Messi already said this, Ronaldinho liked the nightlife, he didn't care much about the media, his career, he didn't have much ambition to awards, but he was 3 times the biggest in the world, then he dropped out and enjoyed life
When I first saw u guys freakin out about Messi and CR7 (both amazing), calling then GOAT, me, as a Brazilian, could only hope for u to react to the REAL GOAT. Ronaldinho and Ronaldo could smoke every player today in a beat! Keep up the good work!
Uffe Franch hey man im latinamerican, i call it futbol its just the owners of the channel are american and they call it soccer. So, if you are a true fan of the sport you wouldnt mind the use of different terms to describe the same.
Ronaldinho is one of the greatest players of this century. At FC Barcelona got to his peak, and it was simply unstoppable. As a Barça supporter you just could be thankful for having him on the team and to be able to watch such an amazing player. But Ronaldinho himself meant a lot more in FC Barcelona. He became the symbol of a change, a new era of the team, after 5 seasons of mediocre players and coaches, and the team barely making it to spanish league access positions to european championships. After 5 terrific seasons, you had a player in the pitch who was just simply having fun playing football, smiling, dancing and reminding everybody how fun football could be, no matter how bad the past seasons were. Perhaps Pep Guardiola's FC Barcelona is one of the greatest teams in football history, but without Ronaldinho wouldn't been possible.
From UK brought up watching football.This guys skills are a class above.I smile everytime time I see a video of him.Most skilful player I have ever seen .He smiles as though he is So enjoying it.The dude is fabulous.
@@clayongayle8870 Pelé was like the OG of "Joga Bonito" and a more complete player - he could defend also. Dinho and Pelé had the same kind of peripheral vision and touch; Pelé had better consistency; Dinho was faster and stronger; Pelé was more of a leader, while Dinho was a bit more creative. I only prefer watching Dinho play, 'cos he'd do those things against better athletes than during Pelé's era.
Argh, annoyed with football vids that randomly zoom and transition all over the place, you can't truly appreciate the skill involved unless you see the bigger picture and from a standard pov, this is like watching a Goal movie football section
@@michaelpachuau3885 I think that another thing missing in them is the fact that the players he's doing that to... they're elite players as well, world class defenders and world class keepers. It only helps you appreciate it more once you realise he's doing that to Real Madrid defenders, not random kids on the schoolyard.
Truly Seaman was great , here he got confused because No one had ever shot a direct to gal free kick in this situation. what Ronaldinho did was a perfect shot and one in a 100 chance . the ball seems to go as a cross pass free kick , but mid stops that backspin and gets into a slight front spin perfect to the corner .
At time of his debut in brazil pro league, existed another worldwide famous ROnaldo (brazillian too, playend on PSV, Internazionale, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Milan, etc). So, to make a difference between the two, he was called Ronaldinho (same as little Ronaldo) in our country.
"he is like messi and ronaldo combined" Exactly but he Is like Messi and Ronaldo after a few beers in a lazy day. The most talented player ever. He don´t have haters. In the matter of fact, the keepers, the defense, everyone that was dribled by Ronaldinho says that with pride LoL you know? I think that Sergio Ramos, I can´t remember who said that. "Yeah I had the pleasure of watching Ronaldinho playing but when I look to the left he was in the right and then he was running toward to the goal". LoL I think that the sensation of playing on defense against Ronaldinho was something like "What a ... nevermind!"
Una gran leyenda, este jugador está a un nivel súper alto, cuando jugó en México todos estábamos como wtf porque no creímos que semejante leyenda viniera a un club como Querétaro en México
I love this reaction!! What your man said about Ronaldinho giving half of his skills to Christiano and half to Messi is hilarious. And rings true!! 🤯👌😁
Exactly. He was on top of the world. Won 2 world cups. And for his time Barcelona was the greatest. Of course I would of paritied he nothing else to win. He had won everything. Like how much more can you prove lol. Messi and Ronaldo wish they had what he had. And he did it in a shorter span. Gave the best 8 years of his career and then kicked back.
The goalie who looked so bad when the free-kick came in was David Seaman, actually one of England's best goalies ever. He was still arranging his defence for the incoming pass and wasn't expecting a chipped shot from that distance. What Dinho did was a stroke of genius and even more amazing for his age then. It was at the 2002 World Cup which Brazil ended up winning
a lot of people mention the goalkeepers in these videos but in reality not only are they directing the wall or the defenders, they are constantly being screened by both sides and the ball moves so much faster in real life than on tv or in these highlights. I played for a lot of years and videos never capture how fast a ball is moving and how little time you have to prepare for things like that. It's why keepers need to basically dive left or right on a guess in a direct kick.
@@igorlage3239 ai ai, se não fosse o fenômeno nem copa do mundo o gaúcho ia ter, libertadores do Atlético foi sorte pura, sem clubismo se o Corinthians tivesse passado do boca 2013 que foi o maior roubo da história da libertadores, o Atlético não ia ter a mínima chance o time do Corinthians estava pra ganhar aquela libertadores e já tinha uma libertadores no ano passado
"Can you show me someone better than him?" As a Brazilian football journalist, I would say, probably not. In my opinion, Ronaldinho's peak is the highest a player has ever performed. From 2002 to 2006 he won absolutely everything a player could have won. World Cup, National League, Champions League, Club World Championship, you name it. Messi probably had a longer peak than Ronaldinho, but from 2004 too 2006, Ronaldinho was absolutely unreachable as the best player in the world. "Can you show me someone better than him?" But answering your question, I can show you Pelé: ruclips.net/video/ioA0DwrriWM/видео.html You said that if Ronaldo is LeBron and Messi is Kobe, Ronaldinho is Michael Jordan. I would say Ronaldinho is more like Magic Johnson, in a way that his creativity with the ball and the unseen things he did changed the sport. Michael Jordan, as the Greatest of All Time, should be compared to Pelé. Pelé is the only player to win 3 World Cups, two of them as the absolute best player (one of those at age 17, scoring a ridiculously beautiful goal in the WC Finals) and he only wasn't the best of the other one because he got injured midway through. He won everything he could for Santos and the Brazilian national team and has more than 1.000 goals to his name (the 1st ever to do such a feat) in his professional career. I would LOVE for you guys to do a reaction on this video of Pelé. Keep in mind that he did that in the 50s through early 70s, way before Messi, Ronaldo or even Ronaldinho were born. You can say that Messi is the "best" football player of all time and I won't dispute that, but Pelé is the GREATEST, no one had his combination of skill, innovation and simply clutch abilitiy other than him. Messi never scored a goal in the World Cup knockout stages, Pelé took World Cups by himself.
With all due respect mate, how can a football journalist spread bullshit like 1000 goals in Peles professional career. We all know old man counted every single he scored (including friendlies and charity matches). He was good, best at his time, same goes for the likes of Best or Maradonna but with how far football have developed in terms of physicality and tactics, both Ronaldo and Messi are in their own league with their numbers, influence on the team and sheer domination for over 10 years now. As much as people have this tendency to overvalue things from past, it's really between Cristiano and Messi and picking between them is really hard.
@@RecKooo, first of all, don't need to be rude like that. Second, he scored more than 1000 goals, wether you count them or not, those were games. Is a friendly a meaningful game? Probably not. Is it a professional one? No doubt. As I said earlier and don't know if you read before raging into the keyboard. You can say Messi is the "best", or most skilled. Pelé is the greatest. Messi never, I repeat NEVER, scored a goal in the knockout stages of a World Cup. Pelé decided a Final at age 17. Messi never, I repeat NEVER, won a title for Argentina, one of the most traditional national teams in the world. Pelé won 3 World Cups. His clutch gene is unmatched. Know the difference between skill and greatness before you go on raging online.
What does greatness determine though? "Messi never scored a goal in the World Cup knockout stages, Pelé took World Cups by himself."; If this is your only point of view then why not mention messi's other achievements like the most goals scored in one calendar year (91 in 2012), and the player with the most recorded assists in football history (300). Why can't messi be considered 'greater' (hate the word) then?
@@bryndenrivers1697 Messi has around now over 1000 goal/assist in only 800 games, football is alot tougher nowadays and Pele pretty much only played for Santos wich wasnt to much of a challange for him, Pele were very good but would't say he was at Messi, Ronaldinho and Cristiano's level
@@Antee21 as I said before, if you say to me that Messi is "the best" or "most skilled", I wouldn't dispute that fact. As for your argument that "Pelé only played for Santos", heck, Messi only played for Barcelona, would you say Pelé's Santos was a better team than Messi's Barcelona? Probably not. Messi only had success on Barcelona (where he is the centerpiece of their scheme and the whole team plays for him), he failed time and time again on Argentina National team. So, in my view, that tarnishes a little bit of Messi's legacy. I find great for him this alleged move to Man City, or any other team for that matter, so he can prove he can be as successful as he was in Barcelona on other situations as well, because as of right now, he hasn't. The fact that Messi wasn't able to win a single Copa America with Argentina also taints his resumé. Copa America is not a hard to win championship. It is basically Brazil x Argentina with the occasional Colombia, Uruguay or Chile generation. It is pretty much given that every Brazilian and Argentinian generation will win at least one. But Argentina hasn't won since 1993! Messi, the greatest player of his generation, wasn't able to win a mildly easy tournament with one of top2 teams time and time again. Cristiano Ronaldo, his peer and rival, won the EuroCup, a significantly harder tournament, with a lesser team, but Messi flops every time he needs to play for the national team.
Ballon D’or is the most prestigious award in all of Football, it’s for the best individual performance of the year. It’s exactly like an MVP award but at the scale of the entire world.
You are actually correct. Ronaldinho is for little Ronaldo. His name is Ronaldo de Asis Morera but there was another popular and older Ronaldo in Brazil at that time. Another amazing player you should react to as well. Ronaldo el fenomeno
As a Brazillian, I can definitely recommend some players that have his style. Ronaldinho is prob in the top of all time Brazillian soccer players IMO but look into Robinho, Ronaldo o fenomeno (phenomenon), Pele arguably our Michael Jordan or Wilt, Zeze, Romario, Garrincha, and maybe Zico to round it out. This man was my idol growing up. The time Brazil won the world cup in 2002 was my time getting into soccer but I also recommend the 94' team to look into and the 70' team. All legends there and crazy story when they stole the world cup trophy and no one has found it since. Great content guys, love when I see Americans interested in my people and culture. Keep it up :)
Its exactly like he's playing his younger siblings. Only thing is, they're some of the greatest players ever. They can't take the ball, and can't keep up. Beautiful.
Every time I see someone reacting to this video of Ronaldihno's skills, there's only one thought that ever comes into my head: "The most skillful player EVER!"
Ronaldinho's first big club was PSG. In many interviews you will hear him credit Jay Jay Okocha as almost a big brother and looked up to his skills dribbling the ball. There are a few videos on youtube for Jay Jay Okocha. Check em out. He was one of the first with this much style and flash in the early 90's.
The firsts years of Messi, he learned with Ronaldinho. His first goal was a assist from Ronaldinho
The last clip was messi’s first goal

No Ronaldinho is the Magic Johnson the most flashy player ever and at his peak he was better than both Ronaldo and Messi, but didn't have the longevity. Ronaldo is the LeBron James of soccer and Messi the Michael Jordan of soccer.
You are right about his name, it's basically little Ronaldo, he was the smallest kid in the early days in Gremio (his first team). For me he's one of the best ever for sure, he's career wasn't the longest but he won everything and still to this day one of the most skillfull players ever. He was applauded from the fans from the biggest rival from Barcelona (Real Madrid), this is really rare to happen.
And I think u guys would like to see some plays from Ronaldo Nazario "the phenomenon", he was something else too, the best attacker that I saw playing
r9 was unreal
@@doncarlo4576 Ronaldo phenomenon, probably the one other player that will blown your minds like Messi and Ronaldinho
His career was not the longest because he loved to party and eat steak. Sometimes he even arrived at training sessions hungover, and still gave a show every weekend. Search google images of Ronaldinho and his hard core party lifestyle.
The only other people I know to get applauded from either camp nou or SB is Iniesta, Xavi, Casillas, R9, laudrup, cruyff, Puskus, puyol, Raul and Xabi Alonso

Ronaldinho taught us to "play beautifully", He is a legend among legends.
This guy revolutionized football, it’s like a Harlem Globetrotter going to the NBA and winning a chip, being regular season and playoff MVP, go to the hall of fame while not changing his globetrotter kind of game. Ronaldinho took training filed gimmicks, used them in real match situations and made it work at the highest level.
He truly was a magician with the ball, unlike anyone else before or after.
The fact that he used the gimmicks in matches as you said, was just unheard of, but amazing nonetheless, breathtaking at times.
True, but guys like Garincha did that in Brazil before he was even born.
GREAT analogy!
Guys like him and Ronaldo Nazario made everyone use their feints in my childhood days. They impacted every kid in the 90’s, 00’s
in the USA, we need the sports to be like this level, so far only Jordan has managed to elevate a sport in the USA to magic, art, and science level of entertainment!
Everyone loves Ronaldinho. When Ronaldinho scored for Barcelona against their hated enemies, Real Madrid, the Madrid fans stood up to applaud him. I’m a Barcelona fan, but I know that Madrid fans only accept the greatest. They are kind of self-entitled like that, but it also means they know pure gold when they see it. Plus Ronaldinho’s attitude to the game is uplifting.
The only other player that got that treatment was Maradonna I believe. Messi is the greatest Barca player, but Madrid fans will never give him a standing ovation.

“Did he pass the ball?” IT WAS HIS SPECIALTY
I remember two games against my club for champions league quarter finals. Our defensive midfield is probably still following him to this day lol, Ronaldinho did nothing in those two games, Barcelona took the win 1-0 agreggate. But Ronaldinho didn't look bad, he was just pure class on the ball, even when he couldnt preform is best for whatever reason. He just put the ball across the pitch right in some other guys feet.
Ronaldinho is the greatest Football instinct to ever kick the ball. Funniest part is he was never serious about it. He used to miss training sessions and party hard.
Yup...thats why he had a short career in Europe...but the best player i ever watched with no Eurpean stats...He was Messi's goat
Don't get me wrong, obviously love people getting to know and reacting to Ronaldinho, he truly is a God of the game, and we probably won't ever see someone like him again, but I think youtubers that react to him should watch a lot of other football players before, and have a really good understanding of the game, so they can actually truly appreciate how good this guy was, to understand how rare it is to find a player like him in terms of entertainment, skill,playing the game like he did and being effective is so damn hard, he literally was worth the ticket.

Ronaldinho is one of the greatest players of this century. At FC Barcelona got to his peak, and it was simply unstoppable. As a Barça supporter you just could be thankful for having him on the team and to be able to watch such an amazing player. But Ronaldinho himself meant a lot more in FC Barcelona. He became the symbol of a change, a new era of the team, after 5 seasons of mediocre players and coaches, and the team barely making it to spanish league access positions to european championships. After 5 terrific seasons, you had a player in the pitch who was just simply having fun playing football, smiling, dancing and reminding everybody how fun football could be, no matter how bad the past seasons were. Perhaps Pep Guardiola's FC Barcelona is one of the greatest teams in football history, but without Ronaldinho wouldn't been possible.

Truly Seaman was great , here he got confused because No one had ever shot a direct to gal free kick in this situation. what Ronaldinho did was a perfect shot and one in a 100 chance . the ball seems to go as a cross pass free kick , but mid stops that backspin and gets into a slight front spin perfect to the corner .
That goal knocked us out of the world cup. It was breakfast time, I was 10, it was heartbreaking

The goalie who looked so bad when the free-kick came in was David Seaman, actually one of England's best goalies ever. He was still arranging his defence for the incoming pass and wasn't expecting a chipped shot from that distance. What Dinho did was a stroke of genius and even more amazing for his age then. It was at the 2002 World Cup which Brazil ended up winning
a lot of people mention the goalkeepers in these videos but in reality not only are they directing the wall or the defenders, they are constantly being screened by both sides and the ball moves so much faster in real life than on tv or in these highlights. I played for a lot of years and videos never capture how fast a ball is moving and how little time you have to prepare for things like that. It's why keepers need to basically dive left or right on a guess in a direct kick.
His real name is Ronaldo, but he got the nickname Ronaldinho as a kid because he was small and the name stuck because Brazil already had a Ronaldo.

"Can you show me someone better than him?"
As a Brazilian football journalist, I would say, probably not. In my opinion, Ronaldinho's peak is the highest a player has ever performed. From 2002 to 2006 he won absolutely everything a player could have won. World Cup, National League, Champions League, Club World Championship, you name it. Messi probably had a longer peak than Ronaldinho, but from 2004 too 2006, Ronaldinho was absolutely unreachable as the best player in the world.
"Can you show me someone better than him?"
But answering your question, I can show you Pelé:
ruclips.net/video/ioA0DwrriWM/видео.html
You said that if Ronaldo is LeBron and Messi is Kobe, Ronaldinho is Michael Jordan. I would say Ronaldinho is more like Magic Johnson, in a way that his creativity with the ball and the unseen things he did changed the sport. Michael Jordan, as the Greatest of All Time, should be compared to Pelé.
Pelé is the only player to win 3 World Cups, two of them as the absolute best player (one of those at age 17, scoring a ridiculously beautiful goal in the WC Finals) and he only wasn't the best of the other one because he got injured midway through.
He won everything he could for Santos and the Brazilian national team and has more than 1.000 goals to his name (the 1st ever to do such a feat) in his professional career.
I would LOVE for you guys to do a reaction on this video of Pelé. Keep in mind that he did that in the 50s through early 70s, way before Messi, Ronaldo or even Ronaldinho were born.
You can say that Messi is the "best" football player of all time and I won't dispute that, but Pelé is the GREATEST, no one had his combination of skill, innovation and simply clutch abilitiy other than him. Messi never scored a goal in the World Cup knockout stages, Pelé took World Cups by himself.
With all due respect mate, how can a football journalist spread bullshit like 1000 goals in Peles professional career. We all know old man counted every single he scored (including friendlies and charity matches). He was good, best at his time, same goes for the likes of Best or Maradonna but with how far football have developed in terms of physicality and tactics, both Ronaldo and Messi are in their own league with their numbers, influence on the team and sheer domination for over 10 years now. As much as people have this tendency to overvalue things from past, it's really between Cristiano and Messi and picking between them is really hard.
@@RecKooo, first of all, don't need to be rude like that.
Second, he scored more than 1000 goals, wether you count them or not, those were games. Is a friendly a meaningful game? Probably not. Is it a professional one? No doubt.
As I said earlier and don't know if you read before raging into the keyboard. You can say Messi is the "best", or most skilled. Pelé is the greatest. Messi never, I repeat NEVER, scored a goal in the knockout stages of a World Cup. Pelé decided a Final at age 17. Messi never, I repeat NEVER, won a title for Argentina, one of the most traditional national teams in the world. Pelé won 3 World Cups. His clutch gene is unmatched. Know the difference between skill and greatness before you go on raging online.
What does greatness determine though?
"Messi never scored a goal in the World Cup knockout stages, Pelé took World Cups by himself."; If this is your only point of view then why not mention messi's other achievements like the most goals scored in one calendar year (91 in 2012), and the player with the most recorded assists in football history (300). Why can't messi be considered 'greater' (hate the word) then?
@@bryndenrivers1697 Messi has around now over 1000 goal/assist in only 800 games, football is alot tougher nowadays and Pele pretty much only played for Santos wich wasnt to much of a challange for him, Pele were very good but would't say he was at Messi, Ronaldinho and Cristiano's level
@@Antee21 as I said before, if you say to me that Messi is "the best" or "most skilled", I wouldn't dispute that fact.
As for your argument that "Pelé only played for Santos", heck, Messi only played for Barcelona, would you say Pelé's Santos was a better team than Messi's Barcelona? Probably not. Messi only had success on Barcelona (where he is the centerpiece of their scheme and the whole team plays for him), he failed time and time again on Argentina National team. So, in my view, that tarnishes a little bit of Messi's legacy. I find great for him this alleged move to Man City, or any other team for that matter, so he can prove he can be as successful as he was in Barcelona on other situations as well, because as of right now, he hasn't.
The fact that Messi wasn't able to win a single Copa America with Argentina also taints his resumé. Copa America is not a hard to win championship. It is basically Brazil x Argentina with the occasional Colombia, Uruguay or Chile generation. It is pretty much given that every Brazilian and Argentinian generation will win at least one. But Argentina hasn't won since 1993! Messi, the greatest player of his generation, wasn't able to win a mildly easy tournament with one of top2 teams time and time again. Cristiano Ronaldo, his peer and rival, won the EuroCup, a significantly harder tournament, with a lesser team, but Messi flops every time he needs to play for the national team.

You are actually correct. Ronaldinho is for little Ronaldo. His name is Ronaldo de Asis Morera but there was another popular and older Ronaldo in Brazil at that time. Another amazing player you should react to as well. Ronaldo el fenomeno
That award is the Ballon d'Or. Award for the BEST player.
As a Brazillian, I can definitely recommend some players that have his style. Ronaldinho is prob in the top of all time Brazillian soccer players IMO but look into Robinho, Ronaldo o fenomeno (phenomenon), Pele arguably our Michael Jordan or Wilt, Zeze, Romario, Garrincha, and maybe Zico to round it out. This man was my idol growing up. The time Brazil won the world cup in 2002 was my time getting into soccer but I also recommend the 94' team to look into and the 70' team. All legends there and crazy story when they stole the world cup trophy and no one has found it since. Great content guys, love when I see Americans interested in my people and culture. Keep it up :)
I was in the stadium when he scored the 14:43 goal. I was just 5 years old and I don't remember that much, but I still feel very lucky.
Its exactly like he's playing his younger siblings. Only thing is, they're some of the greatest players ever. They can't take the ball, and can't keep up. Beautiful.
Every time I see someone reacting to this video of Ronaldihno's skills, there's only one thought that ever comes into my head: "The most skillful player EVER!"

Ronaldinho's first big club was PSG. In many interviews you will hear him credit Jay Jay Okocha as almost a big brother and looked up to his skills dribbling the ball. There are a few videos on youtube for Jay Jay Okocha. Check em out. He was one of the first with this much style and flash in the early 90's.
