What made Ronaldinho a unique footballer among his peers is his uninhibited playing style which is similar to that of a kid in the playground, he plays the game because he likes it and wants to enjoy it. His peak only lasted a few years. The same carefree whimsical attitude which made him unique on the pitch caused his downfall.
Agreed, if you watch documentaries about his life as a kid you really see the moves he used on the field are often adapted from his playground. He often played in very close small fields, so his ballcontrol and strenght against other players is phenomenal, all the tricks he used as an adult were used as a kid to some degree. That makes him such a nightmare for defenders. They never know what he does, he is allways ready to push in or no-look passed his teammates and was never stressed out by pressuring from defenders.
Probably the most entertaining footballer I have ever seen. It was so much fun to watch him play. The R3 National team with Brasil was pretty much football porn.
Ronaldinho was an absolute magician! He played the game like a kid in the park, just utterly loving putting on a show for everyone. He didn't care too much for training and living a healthy lifestyle though lol, which is why he's peak was only a few years. But I think that was he's brilliance, that he didn't take the game too seriously. He is a once in a generation player! LEGEND
I wasn't born yet when Maradona was at his prime to witness his greatness in real time, but thanks to the internet I've seen quite a handful of videos of him playing. And then there are Messi and C. Ronaldo who's primes I've been lucky to live through and witness. I've also seen Ronaldo, the real one. I can tell with absolute certainty, that when it comes to pure joy of seeing one footballer play and the excitement I felt every time he touched the ball, because I knew something magical is about to happen, no one comes even close to Ronaldinho. For me he is the greatest to ever do it, even if he played for somewhat short period of time at his prime, compared to the other greats. It doesn't matter, on the contrary, it kind of makes sense, because you can only display so much of that kind of magic, before it burns out and fades away as a beautiful dream.
Man I feel the same way. Kids often ask me who's better Messi or Ronaldinho, CR7 or Ronaldinho and I always say the same thing. They might have had a greater career but if we are talking about skills, there's no comparison. Ney it's the closest I've seen
The single most skilled footballer of all time. Children when starting soccer should be shown videos of Ronaldinho and told "This is what is possible and you can have fun while doing it."
By far my favourite footballer ever. His aura on the pitch alone was and still is pure magic to me. Awesome guy and easily the best entertainer to me + he did everything with so much joy too, what made me always happy. And that says a Real Madrid fan. (He played for the rivals 5 years long)
Not the world's biggest football fan, but it is very refreshing to see a top player actually staying on their feet after, before, or during a tackle instead of turning it into a elegant swan-dive of pseudo anguished outrage and pain!
1:46 - That move is called "The Elastico" and it became popularized by Brazilian players. (Most famously the person above.) I also hear it called "flip-flap." Funnily enough, Ronaldinho assisted Messi on his very first goal in Barcelona, and he celebrated by hoisting Messi on his shoulders. 4:06 - "Nutmeg" when you pass the ball between someone's legs. His favorite highlight of mine wasn't on there, but the goalie was going to drop punt the ball and Ronaldinho slyly taps it out of the air before it reaches his foot and scored a goal. It didn't count because you cant interfere with the goalie while in the process of releasing and kicking, but just the amount of skill and creativity that takes to actually complete the play was jaw-droppingly beautiful. He had hands for feet lol Juga Bonito forever
@@NoProtocol He and Messi were at Barcelona together, but only played together for a short while, just as Messi was coming up and Ronaldinho was starting to decline. There are definitely similar elements in their dribbling styles, which always made me think that Messi learned from watching and practicing with the Brazilian.
He literally got me back into soccer growing up. I quit playing competitively around 8th grade and then I started watching the games again (Mainly the EPL, Chelsea was/is my team) but Ronaldinho is still my favorite player of all time. This clip is a little too chaotic and zoomed in at times to show his skill, but it's still great. His love for the game and his love for life definitely cut his career short, he wasn't as dedicated to just purely the game as the Messi's and Rondaldo's of the world. But he was the best in the world for a few years.
He is in my opinion the most entertaining footballer ever. My favorite players are great passers which is what I love about Messi as well. I love your videos. Keep it up. 👍
Não dá pra comparar Ronaldinho com outros, ele fazia a pessoa sentir alegria só em ver que a bola estava se aproximando, ele literalmente sambava enquanto driblava grandes jogadores.
Hey NoProtocol ! Do you remember the number 11 winger who impressed you in your last rugby reaction ? I am writing this to request to you a tribute video about him - and it is the best one I found so far. And I have seen dozens of them. It's called "Jonah Lomu - The Fearless Warrior" by Sailor B. I have seen there many clips of his which I never saw before. And it has very fitting music. Definetely reccomend reacting to it. Please respond if you notice this.
@@NoProtocol lomu is the whole reason why I got interested in and played rugby, first seen him play in the 1995 rugby World Cup when I was 10, he was the greatest player of his time, he was a gentle giant, rest in power to him:)
@@NoProtocol In much of the world, a nutmeg is also frequently referred to as a “panna.” Panna means “gate” in a Surinamese creole language (Sranan Tongo). I believe the word found its way into Dutch street football, where two players trying to nutmeg each other is a popular game.
To your point about technicality and creativity: You can always tell the great athletes across any sport - combat, team, individual - they’ve practiced their craft enough that they can “play around” or “be playful” in competition versus their peers. Like improvisational jazz.
Not only that you are missing context - a compilation like this hides how rare these moments really are. Only through 90 minutes of a battle of 2 teams struggling to score you can be amazed by those bright moments of joy.
You should get a compilation of Peter Drury. He is also the king of putting words together and making the moments even more special. I still go back and listen to his commentary when Cristiano Ronaldo was about to enter the man united stadium for the first time since he left the club. His commentary on that moment raised the hair on my arm. I highly recommend you give him a try. That goal he scored at minute 7:31 is insane. That is what I call creative as hell, you will never see a player who is a winger chip a ball at that angel. It is not normal and no one does that at all. It isnt the natural. That goal is forever in my mind. He was probably in his late 30's when he scored that goal can you imagine doing that ever in a professional game or even during club practice.
When i am sad and tired i just check out some of your videos and your smile just puts me on a good mood. Also, you're one of the very few sports reaction girls who genuinely understands what she's saying. Some remarks that you make proves that you are not a poser and actually gave the feel for sports.
dino! the one that mentored and believed in what is now Messi and many other great players. when i was younger i would watch his videos pause- play- pause- play back and forth to learn his moves lol i learned 2 and loved showing it off in games with friends lol
I will say he has some fancy footwork. Passing to oneself is not something I've seen before, though I haven't watched a lot of football (soccer). As for the Spanish announcers, even radio stations are like that. I spent time in Mexico as a student, and the commercials were almost all with the same hyped-up voices. They could make baby formula sound exciting. As for music, "Amazon Farewell" by Djavan comes to mind, as does "Promise of a fisherman" by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '77.
lol I’m the same. Loyalty to ronaldinho only, aside from Barcelona. Also the best compilation of himself it’s called “Ronaldinho greatest entertainment”
Incredible player and always played with a smile on his face; in the UK, when you put the ball between the legs of your opponent, we call it a "nutmeg" (I an not sure why?)
99-07 era was arguably the best time period for football in its history. It's also after this era that I stopped following actively, as the game started becoming generally boring for me. So many of the legends of football were in their prime during this era, including Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo Nazário, Thierry Henry, Paolo Maldini, David Beckham, Roberto Carlos, Francesco Totti, Samuel Eto'o, Raúl González, Luis Figo, Andriy Shevchenko, Carles Puyol, Kaka, Rivaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Steven Gerrard, John Terry, Frank Lampard, Xavi Hernandez, Iker Casillas, Didier Drogba, Javier Zanetti, Hagi, Alessandro Nesta, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane, Rui Costa, and dozens of others. You also had the next generation superstars start their careers in this era, Christiano Ronaldo, Messi, Wayne Rooney, Sergio Ramos, Iniesta, Fabregas, Fernando Torres, David Silva, Arjen Robben, Robin Van Persie, Gareth Bale, Dani Alves, and so many others. I'm sure today's players are talented enough, but for me they can't compete with that era and it just doesn't feel the same.
There are plenty of good teams throughout the 2010s. Real Madrid won 5 Champions League, Klopp had great teams with Dortmund and Liverpool. Mourinho with Inter, 2013 Bayern and the list goes on. Football is exciting as always
@@iurearaujo8397 Yeah, there are always winners, and good teams, and good players, that's kinda the point of the game. But what I'm saying is that me, personally, I, don't find the game as good or exciting as it used to be in that era. You're welcome to have your opinion, but please stop trying to prove to me that I'm wrong about my preference.
I believe Maradona was the best, I've watched Cruijff with my own eyes, but I believe Ronaldinho was the most naturally gifted player ever. Purely for what he could do with a ball and his body, I had never seen anything like it nor after. He just didn't care about being the best enough to be the greatest of all time. I would suggest a good Dennis Bergkamp compilation. Not because he was the best ever but he had the best touches ever and made the most unique goals that have no similar goal scored by anyone in history.
The move at 1:43 is the flip flap, or elastico. Btw, for me, Ronaldinho is the most skillful top pro to ever play the game just for the sheer number of moves he was able to use effectively during play. Lots of people can do these skills but not many of them played right at the top level like he did. Genius with the ball
Senhoras e senhores, este é o professor do Messi, a inspiração do CR-7, o último grande jogador de futebol que o mundo viu atuar. Com vocês, RONALDINHO GAÚCHO.
Ohhh, yeah. He did dance very well. Too well in fact, as his downfall was partying to no end. Had he taken his career seriously he might have had a career to challenge that of Messi. He was THAT good in the 2004-2007 period. But he simply cared more about having fun than anything else including his career.
The Brazilian national team originated a form of football that we call Samba football because when Brazilian players play their best football its like they're dancing and have full control over the ball at the same time. Ronaldinho is the embodiment of that style of football
@@AdventurousNomad007 Actually i checked it out. Yes He was wearing Ronaldinho jersey and it was not world cup 94 it was 96 olympics. and yes There was an older Ronaldo which wears Ronaldao shirt that means Older Ronaldo... :) I picked up some other info i was interested. You made me learn some things. Thanks :)
Este homem é o professor de messi, a inspiração de cristiano ronaldo, o último grande jogador que o viu atuar num campo de futebol. Depois dele, muitos tentaram, mas NENHUM alcançou a magia que este homem tinha nos pés.
He is called Ronaldinho because he was the smallest in his youth teams and also wanted wanted to differentiate himself from his countryman Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima who in 96 Olympics was also called Ronaldinho because of Ronaldo Rodrigues de Jesus his olkder teammate ;)
Not as clinic as Messi or Ronaldo but atleast for me he is the one ive allways been the most excited to watch even tho he never played for a team i really cared for. You just knew that you was about to watch some kind of magic when Ronaldinho was playing. I believe alot of people felt this way about Ronaldinho and thats why he was loved more or less all over the world.
That move at the start doesn't have a name but the Brazilian Ronaldo is one of the first ones who did the move on a big stage in the mid 90s. The move when you play the ball through someone's legs is called the nutmeg
The joy of football, personified. And the cheeky, charming dancer to boot. He's a pleasure to watch.
Such a good dancer!

He was beautiful to witness

Thank you for the backstory!
Peter Drury is a poet of a commentator
Ele foi mentor de Messi e considerado por Messi e Maradona como o melhor de todos os tempos
imagine the opposing team fans start to clap for him, that's when you know he the man.
Not as clinic as Messi or Ronaldo but atleast for me he is the one ive allways been the most excited to watch even tho he never played for a team i really cared for. You just knew that you was about to watch some kind of magic when Ronaldinho was playing. I believe alot of people felt this way about Ronaldinho and thats why he was loved more or less all over the world.
That move at the start doesn't have a name but the Brazilian Ronaldo is one of the first ones who did the move on a big stage in the mid 90s.
