IS RONALDO ‘R9’ The PHENOMENO your GOAT???
My 5 favourite player's throughout my life I enjoyed watching are number 1 messi 2 r9 3 Ronaldinho 4 Zidane and 5 Henry 😊😊
@@andrewbunch6599 football is subjective…
But this list is SOLID!!
I respect it, all of those names belong in anyone’s top 5 🙌🏾
Ronaldo did not have the best career but the 100% R9 is by far the most talented player ever and at 100% when he was a talent he did outscore everybody. This video is not the ULTIMATE COMPILATION. There are more player that reacted about R9.
@@andrewbunch6599 Messi did have a better career but for more enjoy in football R9 is by far better. R9 was a more talented player that showed much more on the field as Messi.
@@gi0vanni220 it’s my ultimate 😉
How Zlatan is looking and smiling as he is standing across from his hero, the greatest of all time, Ronaldo. Brings tears to my eyes every time. Such an honor to have been alive and watched this magnificent talent. GOAT.
@@DARKORBITPYRO Zlatan watching R9 is a powerful yet telling moment.
He’s literally looking at him, as most of us would if we ever got to meet R9.
In complete awe and admiration.
R9 is the one player that brings out emotion in me, he is the GOAT for more reasons than a few haha
Great comment, thank you!!
@@OutRegisTVexactly. Considering too that Zlatan has been a special player throughout his career. R9 was almost alien. I would have hated (and loved) being a top CB in his era
@@Diezel16N If I was ever a CB in that era playing against R9, I would have sleepless nights.
One or two things are happening…
I’m getting a red card or humiliated!
Or both, at the same time 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine a personality like slatan admiring another player in that way tells everything. He was really some kind of messiah for the sport of football. His knees couldn't bear his talent was literally the case with him
@@nestorastatas7785 I 100% agree with the comment.
When big egos tell us he’s the greatest, we must listen haha
Knees aren’t supposed to do, what R9 was able to do…
In Germany, football is like part of our national culture. And I think it is fair to say, that German football is among the most established in the world. Back in the day, there was no internet etc, and ofc, through world cups and euro and uefa, you had a pretty good picture of what is out there. You knew Brazil, and ofc Argentina and Maradonna and you heard about Pele, etc. You knew club names like Arsenal, and Barca and Ajax and Man United and Inter... But, we did not care that much, because Bundesliga was providing enough really outstanding figures at the time, including the emperor of football. And then came R9. He turend the world around. Suddenly we cared much more, we were all amazed by Brazilian kids playing in the streets, suddenly, Brazil felt like this mythical place where world class footballers are forged, dont forget, R9 came along Ronaldinho, Carlos, etc.. Every kid wanted to play Brazil, wanted a yellow shirt, wanted to be R9. Suddenly, Bundesliga felt a bit boring in comparison. At that time the whole world repeated one name constantly: Ronaldo. The real Ronaldo. He was a phenomenon, the only phenomenon. Sure, Messi and CR7 are great. But experiencing the dawn of R9 in the world of football, and seeing him play, back then... No one can reproduce such jaw dropping moments. We watched to see him do magic, no one cared about the outcome of the matches, it was ALL about him, when he played. This kind of general mood and consensus and draw coming from one single player, was a thing of the century. And it will likely take another century, before anyone comes along, who can captivate the world of football again like R9 did.
@@104thironmike4 this comment is beautifully executed!!!!
I love this!
I can attest to that R9 brought a new wave of love, and appreciation to the sport.
Literally brought people and nations together, bc as a whole, we were experiencing him together all at the exact same time.
What a time to be alive, it was like a new beginning.
I’ve seen hype around football and football players but never like that before.
@@OutRegisTV Thank you! After writing the comment yesterday I went back in memory a bit and rewatched some footage, and then I remembered: we actually did not care about his goals, we were amazed by his dribbling, etc. But what we were all constantly waiting for, was for him to go off like a rocket. Like, it is hard to describe nowadays, but just imagine, R9 is about 3-5m behind the 4 fastest defenders in the world, all of them are sprinting, fast, in the same direction, towards the defender's goal. The defenders are running very closely together to build a wall. And then it would happen. Suddenly, like a switch being turned, like someone pressing the nitro boost, R9 would take off. And I literally mean take off. It was unbelievable, not only would he catch up to the defenders, mind you, all of them being in FULL sprint, he would blast through them - all while dribbling the ball, in complete posession - overtake them, and then he would find ANOTHER freaking boost button, and get even faster and leave them behind. NO ONE, no other player on earth could explode like this. No one. This was the epitome of watching R9, his inhuman ability no one could believe, even when we saw it, right there, in plain sight, right in front of our eyes. It was alien, it was not human what he did. Dribbling, scoring, passing, playmaking, yes, all of that was crazy good. But him outsprinting EVERYONE in full control of the ball - was really what made you rub your eyes over and over again. R9, the forever GOAT. While others count trophies, points and goals, he will always be the one who could outrun them all, with 8 knee injuries, a desease and overweight, lol. At his lowest, he was still above the peak, of whatever the year's goat's peak it was.
Even my girlfriend, who never cared about football, when you say Ronaldo, she will immediately think of R9, never CR7, and will say, "yes, Nazario." Just because she grew up in that time. If you did, no Ronaldo can replace that image for you. Even if you never cared about football at all.
@@104thironmike4 why did I smile with joy reading this comment hahaha 😂
We have all seen some exceptional talents, speed, strength, ball control, dribbling from other greats over the years.
R9 was the player that was a one stop shop… haha
You didn’t need to look else where for your football fix.
The complete package and more.
His element of surprise was a gift, you just didn’t know what the hell he was going to do!
That was his aura.
As you said, his first 10-20 yards were a joke, and once he got up a few gears in pace, it was a freight train, all with the ball to his feet too! 🤯
The guy was a joke lol and sometimes
Disrespectful with it 😂😂😂
It was like watching a grown man playing football with 9 year olds at times.
🐐🇧🇷
reading your commi throw me back for a few sec..for a mom i felt it again.... what just happened to all of us when he R9 entered the stage.....thank you .. hahah this wild man ... truly a PHENOMEN....

Once you get that consign, it’s a solid as it gets really!

@@OutRegisTV Ronaldo loved that famous photo of him running past Maldini and Cannavaro. They're both sliding in, trying to get the ball. And as Maldini said himself
“If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake.”

I would love to eventually make clothing for the channel, with iconic moments in football.

I am 44 years old now I am a football fan since I was 10 years old or something. This guy made world class defenders look like its their first day in a human body. I remember seeing the 17 years old Ronaldo playing for PSV when PSV played against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA cup. Must have been 1994 or 95. Leverkusen won 5:4 and Kirsten and Ronaldo both scored 3 goals each. This was the moment when this young fella caught my attention. I thought to myself "Man, this guy is freaking 17 years old. Hes something else man." Later on he went to Barcelona and thats when he became the best in the world. At 44 years of age I have never seen a player with this package of instinct, speed, skills, power, explosiveness and goal scoring ability. He is the absolute GOAT in my book, no doubt about that.
@@remokelm1838 you are making me travel down memory lane here.
We are of the same age.
I didn’t get to see him at PSV
BUT through the football grapevine, there were whispers amongst managers, agents, and players about this kid from Brazil.
And like yourself, when he went to Barcelona I got to see the hype.
I’ve never been the same since!!!!
I literally mimicked this guy.
So grateful to have witnessed his career.
The ups and the downs.
It was a true pleasure 🙌🏾
@@remokelm1838 great comment!
Much appreciated!
@@OutRegisTV When he went to Brazil?
@@remokelm1838 sorry had to make an edit, meant to say Barcelona
@@OutRegisTV Oh okay, gotcha. Yeah well when he played for Barcelona that might have been being him at his peak. I would love seeing him play for Barca way longer.
Finally some one said it. R9 is one of a kind.

I love him so much.
@@htpangestu I completely understand your sentiments.
We share the same love haha 🤣
Playing football my whole life, I went through a stage where I started to hated it.
Watching R9 made me love football again.
He had every skill/component!!
He was a sight to see, every time he played.
same here. if he was never excist i wasn t intreat in football. 1998 the day i start love to watch football
@@woklam342 I completely understand what your saying my friend 🙌🏾

@@tundeadagun ABSOLUTELY!!
It’s testimony. 🙌🏾🇧🇷🐐🙌🏾
There are kids who have seen CR7 and Messi but only heard stories of R9, so they'll never really know how good R9 actually was.. I can't see any player being completely out of football for 3 yrs and instantly comes back with a bang and as long as he played even after that horrible injury he did absolutely amazing, it is scary what he could have done without that near career ending injury..PHENOMENON FOR A REASON
@@phiaklangtangjang5250 great points made here.
You had to see it to truly understand the levels R9 was playing at.
It was scary stuff!
And to take 3 years out, doesn’t get mentioned enough, it’s like the world skips over that part.
To overcome such odds, is not normal!!!!
And to come back swinging and win trophies and play the best clubs in the world, the PHENOMENO is a understatement to me 🙌🏾🇧🇷🐐🙌🏾
Let's just put it this way. R9 is the football equivalent of Mozart in music. Generational, no, epochal talent. You don't see this kind for hundreds, if not a thousand years.
@@liquidh5226 very well said!
I couldn’t agree more.
A once in a lifetime type of talent, never to be duplicated, EVER!!

He basically did this as a KID and in the hardest era. Absolutely SCARY. THE GREAT RONALDO 🔥🔥
@@originalnutzie4409 he was genuinely scary!
When a player was all attributes, with power and pace.
Its a force to be reckoned with 😅
I don't put anybody above R9. I thought Pele and Maradona were better than R9, but I do not think they were. For me and many other football fans, R9 was the player to watch. Especially when he was playing for Barcelona and Inter! His speed, strenght, technique, getting through defenders, scoring goals from any corner on the pitch. humiliating goalkeepers, humiliating great defenders! R9 is the real GOAt people are scared to talk about!
@@gilfernando7623 it’s all about preference, and football is subjective.
I myself LOVE Ronaldo so much that it’s hard for me to even compare to anyone else…
His whole career has been a joy to watch, witnessing someone put all the best attributes together the way he did, at the top clubs, against the best of the best, was simply majestic!!!
I do think that Pele is the only one above him. You gotta study Pele in order to give a good opinion, my friend.
He's not Ronaldo R9 Nazario.....he is Ronaldo. The one and only
@@MrMonne84 well said!!
I may have to use that for the next video title 😉
@@OutRegisTV Go ahead please do. I think the older generations will all agree.
@@MrMonne84 I think all generations need to know!

People should remember, Van Nistelrooy also played with Cristiano Ronaldo at ManUtd, but a Ronaldo(R9) that was past his peak *_still_* blew Van Nistelrooy head off 🤯when he played with him at tReal Madrid, leading Ruud to say that R9 was the most insane talent he encountered in his whole career.💪⚽️💥
@@johnpacino007 that’s such a huge point made here!
Great comment!!!
CR7 Man U was my fav era of Cristiano.
And for Rude to make that statement is a huge testament.

thats how we say in brazil, prime ronaldo was "the closest to Pelé"
@@ton7691 I can totally respect this, I need to visit Brazil one day, it’s on my bucket list for sure 🙌🏾🇧🇷🙌🏾
Even Franz beaconbeur (if that's how you spell it) said in the paper next day "I've just seen the next pele" and that's coming from a legend whos played with Pele after watching Ronaldo 1st match in Europe.
@@originalnutzie4409 now that’s high praise!
Wish he had said it on camera haha
Agree with the entire video, I was so lucky to meet him for few minutes. Very humble guy by the way, nobody has been better than him in his prime.

Bro, his health affected his knees and the first injury at PSV in 1994/95 removed 30% of his mobility yet he still pulled of all those marvelous things at Barcelona and Inter until the biggest injuries in 1999/2000.😢 We never saw the real Phenomenon.

@@OutRegisTVThanks bro, I followed World Cup since 1990 and in 1994 I saw Romario and Bebeto but the papers talked about a 16 year old Pele incarnation and I followed Ronaldinho as he was called with the hype of a religious zealot.

@@liongordel9088 I love this!
I’ve seen the obvious highlights of Ronaldo at PSV, but can honestly say I didn’t get to watch full games.

Great video! I'm Brazilian, R9 was a great player, but it's good to know that the haters here in Brazil in 98 because he handed the World Cup to France, he had a bad time, to this day we don't believe that, France, with due respect to Zidane, almost was eliminated by Paraguay and Zidane scored two headed goals without even leaving the ground. This in our country is unacceptable. He was only forgiven because he played better in 2002, and we won our fifth world championship. But it was supposed to be the sixth. Our team entered the field destroyed in the 98 final because R9 felt ill. And to this day we are outraged by this.
And regarding current Brazilian players, they are all horrible, some boots, Neymar, Vinicios Junior, Endreck, my god, what a horrible generation.
@@marcosaguiar4179 thank you sir,
I appreciate the compliment, it was my pleasure to make!
I have heard that Brazilians took that loss in 98 very hard, and are still feel heart broken by it, to the point they will not forgive…

Zidane was incredible during this time!
For some reason he always played so well against the Brazilian national team.
As for the new generation, I’ve heard it’s mixed feelings about them?
The talent is there but can they put it all together, and start winning major trophies again.

What’s your favorite goal, and or moment from R9??? 🧐
@OutRegisTV 2002 World Cup. I was 10. First time I got to see the goat. I always heard about him. He was like a myth. I never saw videos or anything of him. It was just tales of this guy who once was the greatest. It almost felt like a gift looking back cus 02 was probably the closest R9 ever got to being back, and even then it wasn't until youtube I realized I had no idea who R9 really was. But I'll always have 2002 where I was gifted a glimpse of what was, and to this day, 2002 crazy haircut R9 sticks with me as something I feel blessed to have seen for my first ever world cup
@@matsalvatore9074 great answer!
I love the nostalgia.
02 was a special time, and that World Cup R9 has the to prove so much, I can’t even imagine the pressure he was under at that time, hence the hair cuts 😂
I Appreciate you answering my question.
🙌🏾
Everyone is talking about his 2 major injuries but nobody about his disease. If R9 was in a topteam on 100% he would outscore everyone. Before his injuries he did outscore everyone. And he did not reach his full potential so he could have been better that is logical.
@@gi0vanni220 I agree whole heartedly!
What we saw were literally glimpses.
But those glimpses were simple majestic!
I can only imagine what he would have accomplished without injury or disease.

Not just the testimonies of these legends in this video, In the eyes of many other greats like Totti, Maldini, Zamorano, Nesta, Cannavano, Kaka, Messi, Neymar, Shearer, Ballotelli and others R9 remains the one and only true phenomenon.

If i wanna play and enjoy much football i wud like to play with or against players like Messi, Ronaldo, Zidane, Maradona, Ronaldinho etc and
If i wanna play and win the game at most, i wud like to play with players like Cristiano coz he gives goals, and great stats ultimately….but rest of those players r natural, magician, n great players who aced this passionate game of football and mastered the game.
I don’t see those kinda players as great because of the trophies they won or the stats they contributed. It’s the way they play that hypnotized me and hypnotizes me always when watching them play.

There really is no debate. Look at the legendary names from the 90s and 2000s. When R9 came to light especially at Barca and Inter, nobody cared about all the other players. I remember Fifa99 with R9 at Inter. All my friends including I, only wanted to play with them because of this guy. I really believe R9 was a player above Ballon d'Or.

We respect the longevity and discipline of Messi and Cr7. However, when we look at the prime times of Messi, Cr7 and prime time of R9 and what R9 was still able to accomplish after brutal injuries, and what R9 could have accomplished without injuries, Messi and Cr7 cannot be above R9 because they did not play better football than R9. R9 is still the youngest player to win ballon'dor . He was 21 when he got it! All this was accomplished in his prime time!

@@katikirocharles1403 it’s a great point made!
Having been in that era, I can see and feel the difference, it’s very apparent the game has changed.
The game is much easier now to manipulate.
Players are muted in attack and defense/tackles.
Smart tricky players don’t have to be that tricky anymore, they can smartly maneuver (if that makes sense)
Some of those old school red cards warrant jail time! Lol
No doubt!!!!!
The world was robbed from seeing something that might never be possible again on this planet when Ronaldo injured his knee. He would have easily been the best player in football history if he didn't get injured.

Ronaldo was free in a world that still let free spaces for players.

@@OutRegisTV Certainly even today he would have been one of the greatest. But what I mean Is that now there is on players much more pressure since they are 10-12 years old. Talent scouts find them everywhere, and they get into the machine very soon.

Francesco Totti used to tell during the interviews a quantity of strange games with the ball he used to invent with his friends playing in the street.
Maybe I'm romantic, but It Is a fact that since 10-15 years we don't have "Number 10" like Baggio, Totti, Cassano...they all grew up in the street...non tactic, no training, just pleasure to play, and play, and play until it's night
