If messi and cristiano had 3 knees injuries that could ended their careers like R9 had, i don’t think both of them could achieve more than R9 did with those 3 major injuries..

@Boboiboy@93 the way you write, your english is hard to comprehend. Seems like it's been written by a 5 year old. R9 at his peak had the speed and strength of cr7 ,skills of dinho and qualities of messi all in 1 and was unstoppable. Messi and cr7 have never come close to being that good and have never been unstoppable although have played at a higher level for longer.

It's amazing how much control he had at those insane speeds he liked to play at. Also if you didn't know which was his dominant foot you'd be hard pressed to find out as his weaker left foot scored some screamers in his day. Just overall the perfect striker! Power, balance, speed, technique, ball control and finishing! Truly a nightmare for entire defenses and the goalie. This guy was unstoppable.
Ronaldo was an anomaly. I think that's partly the reason why his body broke down on him. You're not suppose to be that strong, that fast, and that technical. I don't think his knees were able to support that kind of pressure.
His injury against Lazio was the last straw for him. you can see everyone even the Lazio players and staff rushing to help him because he was held in such high respect.
Lesartistes101 , this Ronaldo was ten times better than CR7. But CR7 achieved more due to his discipline and hard work. But still CR7 can never give us the same happiness as R9 gave us.
Most people argue Senna is the best F1 driver of all time even tho he's doesn't have the stats of Schumacher. R9 is the same for me, he doesn't have the goal stats like Messi and C ronaldo but as a gifted on the pitch footballer probably the best ever.
This is called class... I was born in 1987, and I saw him playing in world cup. I am from India and my most favourite footballer is Ronaldo from Brazil. No one can take his place... It's just not about speed, it's about the standard... You know what I mean
@@pedrolelispedrolelis3718 I mean he does only because R9 never reached his prime the injuries killed his knees to early. Messi 11/12 was unbeatable imo.

There is no other way, he had to be injured, or his alien identity will be exposed because he was gonna make a record in football history that no human could've ever broken.
I watched Ronaldo at the 1998 world cup which was before injury. To be honest these video clips seem sped up for dramatic effect and to deceive. Just my 2 cents

The ball control was his best skill. He could do anything he wanted with the ball as if it was glued up to his foot. Amazing ball control and precise finishing were his best football skills.
Also I have never seen a player getting past the goalkeepers so easily... he put so many goalies to sit down before his dribbles... probably more than any other player I've seen
At one specific time no player has ever reached the quality of Ronaldos prime. Some might have had longer or better carreers but none have surpassed Ronaldos level, it was a shame he suffered those injuries.

this guy had an amazing football carreer and legacy even with the limitations, the hypotetical R9 prime was demonstrably the best player to ever touch the grass of a football pitch
Ive wittnessed Prime Ronaldinho, Messi, CR7 and Kaka but these few seasons of Prime R9 were by far the most unreal seasons Ive seen from a single player. Only Kaka ever came close to this guys speed, he literally ran through defenders.
All thoes time that I set my alarm just wake up and watch Ronaldo play and my eyes was half way sleep and at the same time couldn't wait to see him play. Amazing player and amazing time.
Ronaldo is untouchable incomparable, he is phenomenal and complete player, he put a soccer to a deffirent level none of existing players can even think to reach.....
Fenômeno eterno. Obrigado Ronaldo Nazário ! Quem viu, viu, quem não viu, fique com os vídeos. Mesmo em final de carreira e acima do peso jogou muito no Corinthians ! Obrigado, obrigado, obrigado !
Prime Ronaldo was the most complete footballer of all time. He was virtually unmarkable and no defender on the planet could stand up to him. I mean, people would go crazy if he got possession of the ball at the halfway line. No one in the history of the sport comes close to being as good as him
pulling tricks in that kind of speed.. no wonder he got injuries, bad one, for his career.. The one and only 'phenomenon' in this football universe, Ronaldo Luiz Nazario Da Lima.
1:42 I like how his team mate knows that the job is done after Ronaldo controls the ball. He just stops, turns its back to the action and start returning to center of the field
Imagine if Ronaldo had never been injured and suffered from thyroid problems, what a gift for our delight and visual enjoyment this man would have given us!
El mejor 9 de la historia. Nunca me voy a olvidar esa final de copa america que ibamos ganando 2-0 y nos dio vuelta él solo. Sin dudas el mejor. Saludos de argentina
Soy de Argentina, y Ronaldo Nazario fue lo mejor que vieron mis ojos, nos pegaba cada baile, literal en esa época acá en Argentina le teníamos miedo a Ronaldo
only early 90s kids and earlier will ever see a 9 of this talent, I feel sorry for youngsters these days. to cmpare Cr7 to this specimen is sacrilege, R9 was clearly not a normal human being LOOK AT THE SPEED AT WHICH HE DRIBBLES, THE POWER HE FINISHES WITH AND AT PACE!!!. I read somewhere that his dribbling was so fast and electric that it was unhealthy for his knee joints dont know if that's true but it would make sense.
Brutal power + diabolic driblings, we only can know he was human for his knees. In Inter he launched freekicks like R.Carlos or Ronaldinho (check videos) even was good with head when he was young, magical tricks, magic R10 style pass, and very very very nice guy, very humble, very fun, always fair play... he was perfect. At his last match "i never said i was better than others, i just wanted to be good". R9.
Yeah, his Dribbling, acceleration, speed and agility skills were too explosive for his knees. Imagine what he could have done without injuries... Ps:he's also famous for the quickest dribbles, feet and control
llavero5 dont think its true tbh, more like he has to adapt to a much tough defenders in a prime serie A, were strikers had to build fast and strong despite his talent, thats more like after 98 wc, he doesnt rest much to arrive in italy and has a minor injury due to fatigue and carry on in season 99, similar happen with other great strikers at that time like batistuta, salas, bergkamp. Just look clips for that matches, they have to face guys like maldini, nesta, stam, montero, gatusso, cannavaro etc
I am 18 and R9 is my favorite player and know, that he is better than CR7 and think that R9 is the greatest. I have seen his games (full games) on a CD and highlights on youtube. I have seen the games of CR7 and highlights on youtube, and I think R9 is better. No hate on nobody just my opinion on this.
It was very special to watch him. It’s like watching Muhammad Ali in his prime. Best in the world at his job. And something about it makes you feel like it’s a dream. Maybe it’s because you know history is being made in front of your eyes. The only contemporary player that has this effect for me is Messi. Cristiano is special, and an all-time great player. We are so lucky to have him in our lifetime. And I respect him greatly. But Messi brings the magic of players like Maradonna or this Ronaldo. It’s a deeper feeling. A special feeling that cannot be described..
His skills are what you would expect from a brazilian but the speed at which he does them is unreal, no wonder people call prime R9 better than Cr7 or Messi
167 goals in 185 matches aged 21. During the defensive era of football. He should have had at least 2 Ballon D'Or by now. 1996 was a robbery. 1997 was his. 1998 arguably aswell. A Phenomenon.
@@SilencedButNotForgotten He’s the greatest ever. He should have won every ballon dor from 1994-1999. And 2002 as well. So in total he should have 7 Ballon Dors, without injuries he would have over 10.
He is the reason why a generation loves footbal, till today I have never ever seen a more complete striker than him, when I was a kid in the 90s we played soccer in the streets and shouted out his name
@@mandaussi doubt it a lot. Looks at him play for Barcelona in 96 and then look at him play at inter in the next year in 97. The difference is huge. His passing went up by bounds, his dribbling also improved massively. There was every suggestion that he was only going to improve.
Nowadays strikers cant even dribble properly just relying on playmaker and teamates,,, Ronaldo is just another level of striker,,, he used to work hard,, he got insane speed,, he got insane skills,, and he got insane goal scoring abilities...Complete striker package. Ronaldo is the best striker in world till 2022...
Can we agree that there are 2 Ronaldos please? Easy, CR7 and R9. There is no 'fake one'. They are both real, and we should appreciate what they gave to us, and that is their style!!!!
What is scary is that R9 was about to enter his prime years (usually 23 to 29 for a striker) before suffering back to back knee injuries that forced him to miss over 650 days. When he came back, he had lost the speed, power, and strength that made him unstoppable. Even though he was still in his prime, he was never the same. Probably 50-60% of what he was prior to the injuries.
This guy dribbled past the keeper 88 times in his career. Madness

All thoes time that I set my alarm just wake up and watch Ronaldo play and my eyes was half way sleep and at the same time couldn't wait to see him play. Amazing player and amazing time.
These skills are unreal. Only legends could do this.
This ronaldo didn't care about his hair all he care about was playing football.
Bart Simpson yea he didn't care for he is body to😎😎😎😎😎
Paule Yonas lol
Except at WC 98
And then he didn't care what happen to his leg,.... Guess what happens 😢...
The best Ronaldo EVER!!
The best way to describe him is an anomaly. He was not normal. Absolute goat R9.
My Favorite player EVER!!! I remember how he used to twist defenders ankles... 100 years Will pass to see another FENOMENO like that
i count myself lucky to have witnessed this guy play, and shine in the midst of lots of super talented stars
Ronaldo is untouchable incomparable, he is phenomenal and complete player, he put a soccer to a deffirent level none of existing players can even think to reach.....
Fenômeno eterno. Obrigado Ronaldo Nazário ! Quem viu, viu, quem não viu, fique com os vídeos. Mesmo em final de carreira e acima do peso jogou muito no Corinthians ! Obrigado, obrigado, obrigado !
Prime Ronaldo was the most complete footballer of all time. He was virtually unmarkable and no defender on the planet could stand up to him. I mean, people would go crazy if he got possession of the ball at the halfway line. No one in the history of the sport comes close to being as good as him
Pure talent, imagine if this man had ethic work like cr7 and had no injuries
Goats among goats
Just the best ever player.
pulling tricks in that kind of speed.. no wonder he got injuries, bad one, for his career..
The one and only 'phenomenon' in this football universe, Ronaldo Luiz Nazario Da Lima.
Da juventino... Il migliore.. Brividi.. Grazie ronnie
Daniel Allasia 👍👍
Secondo me ha fatti pochi goal per essere un attaccante, solo in nazionale era forte, con il club non era un granché
@@matteoferrigno3576 che gran cazzata
@@simonetavano5670 interista 🤮🤮
@@matteoferrigno3576 Ma tu sei fuori, a pari età nemmeno messi segnava quanto lui pre infortunio
1:42 I like how his team mate knows that the job is done after Ronaldo controls the ball. He just stops, turns its back to the action and start returning to center of the field
LOL. Save his stamina thou. Like he said "Ah okay time to go back."
Imagine if Ronaldo had never been injured and suffered from thyroid problems, what a gift for our delight and visual enjoyment this man would have given us!
El mejor 9 de la historia. Nunca me voy a olvidar esa final de copa america que ibamos ganando 2-0 y nos dio vuelta él solo. Sin dudas el mejor. Saludos de argentina
Soy de Argentina, y Ronaldo Nazario fue lo mejor que vieron mis ojos, nos pegaba cada baile, literal en esa época acá en Argentina le teníamos miedo a Ronaldo
only early 90s kids and earlier will ever see a 9 of this talent, I feel sorry for youngsters these days.
to cmpare Cr7 to this specimen is sacrilege, R9 was clearly not a normal human being LOOK AT THE SPEED AT WHICH HE DRIBBLES, THE POWER HE FINISHES WITH AND AT PACE!!!.
I read somewhere that his dribbling was so fast and electric that it was unhealthy for his knee joints dont know if that's true but it would make sense.
Brutal power + diabolic driblings, we only can know he was human for his knees.
In Inter he launched freekicks like R.Carlos or Ronaldinho (check videos) even was good with head when he was young, magical tricks, magic R10 style pass, and very very very nice guy, very humble, very fun, always fair play... he was perfect.
At his last match "i never said i was better than others, i just wanted to be good". R9.
Yeah, his Dribbling, acceleration, speed and agility skills were too explosive for his knees. Imagine what he could have done without injuries...
Ps:he's also famous for the quickest dribbles, feet and control
Dude, do you remember, real : zidane+ronaldo (and others).. what a dream it was
llavero5 dont think its true tbh, more like he has to adapt to a much tough defenders in a prime serie A, were strikers had to build fast and strong despite his talent, thats more like after 98 wc, he doesnt rest much to arrive in italy and has a minor injury due to fatigue and carry on in season 99, similar happen with other great strikers at that time like batistuta, salas, bergkamp. Just look clips for that matches, they have to face guys like maldini, nesta, stam, montero, gatusso, cannavaro etc
I am 18 and R9 is my favorite player and know, that he is better than CR7 and think that R9 is the greatest. I have seen his games (full games) on a CD and highlights on youtube. I have seen the games of CR7 and highlights on youtube, and I think R9 is better.
No hate on nobody just my opinion on this.
It was very special to watch him. It’s like watching Muhammad Ali in his prime. Best in the world at his job. And something about it makes you feel like it’s a dream. Maybe it’s because you know history is being made in front of your eyes. The only contemporary player that has this effect for me is Messi. Cristiano is special, and an all-time great player. We are so lucky to have him in our lifetime. And I respect him greatly. But Messi brings the magic of players like Maradonna or this Ronaldo. It’s a deeper feeling. A special feeling that cannot be described..
His skills are what you would expect from a brazilian but the speed at which he does them is unreal, no wonder people call prime R9 better than Cr7 or Messi
167 goals in 185 matches aged 21.
During the defensive era of football.
He should have had at least 2 Ballon D'Or by now.
1996 was a robbery. 1997 was his. 1998 arguably aswell.
A Phenomenon.
He already has 2 ballon dors, but he deserved more
@@McFlashh Yes, but I meant at the time of his Prime.
@@SilencedButNotForgotten He’s the greatest ever. He should have won every ballon dor from 1994-1999. And 2002 as well. So in total he should have 7 Ballon Dors, without injuries he would have over 10.
My favorite player of all time.
This man in his best version would have made both the goats run for even one ballon d'or!
Rip to the potential 😅
I love his wing play breaking down those insanely strong Italian defenses and delivering an assist
He is the reason why a generation loves footbal, till today I have never ever seen a more complete striker than him, when I was a kid in the 90s we played soccer in the streets and shouted out his name
Messi & Cr7 are genius........but this guy is a Phenomenon...
Greatest striker in history
The sad thing is, we‘ve seen probably just 80% of his potential 😥😪
Seriously, bro !
I think we saw his full potential
Just that it was a really short period
Yes. 100% with 25-30 age, no injuries.
@@mandaussi doubt it a lot. Looks at him play for Barcelona in 96 and then look at him play at inter in the next year in 97. The difference is huge. His passing went up by bounds, his dribbling also improved massively. There was every suggestion that he was only going to improve.
@@kronikevaporation6007 yeah you're probably right
Nowadays strikers cant even dribble properly just relying on playmaker and teamates,,, Ronaldo is just another level of striker,,, he used to work hard,, he got insane speed,, he got insane skills,, and he got insane goal scoring abilities...Complete striker package. Ronaldo is the best striker in world till 2022...
In isolation.. this is the greatest player to grace a football pitch
When will the world see a striker like this again?? So phenomenal, so complete...🎉
The most unreal step over and he did it in blinding light speed.
Everytime I watch his clips .. I get goosebumps.. it's just heartbreaking not to witness his full potential x(( Phenomenal you are #R9
Лучший что был в футболе, GOAT.
Can we agree that there are 2 Ronaldos please? Easy, CR7 and R9. There is no 'fake one'. They are both real, and we should appreciate what they gave to us, and that is their style!!!!
Football coaches:
in football you dribble past field players and shoot past goalkeepers.
Ronaldo: and I took that personally!
Messi+cr7=50% Ronaldo GOAT
Stfu fanboy Messi is a better player
@@tommasovl6173 nope
@@tommasovl6173 honestly, who would you prefer to be on the national team of your country, to play a world cup?
BroCoTV OMG this is definitely a child... so are you gonna tell us Messi is not the best because he hasn’t won anything with his country???
@@projetoventura a million times Messi. Ronaldo had Ronaldinho (Even better than him), Kaka, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos and so many others...
3:44 ligthning speed
0:21 Mourinho 😂
ahahah it's true!!!
He was there as a translator for Robson
Damn this man could easely be the best player on history i mean wtf is that unreal skills and speed and finish is skills is a dream for every player
No one like R9,
Maradona and Ronaldo are my favourite Players
Fenomeno!!!!!
The best Ronaldo number 1
no one player that should have be compared with him,his technique,dribble,speed,finishing,skill is impossible to anybody be in top of THE PHENOMENON9
Always imitated, never duplicated
What is scary is that R9 was about to enter his prime years (usually 23 to 29 for a striker) before suffering back to back knee injuries that forced him to miss over 650 days. When he came back, he had lost the speed, power, and strength that made him unstoppable. Even though he was still in his prime, he was never the same. Probably 50-60% of what he was prior to the injuries.
