This is why messi and ronaldo continue to be the best players in the world at even in their mid 30s, because are incredibly talented but also work hard as heck.
Another one is Adriano. Man, he was a beast and had amazing technique. He started misbehaving after his father's death, so the root cause was psychological, but he brought it into the job by drinking. He ruined his career, he could have become one of the best of all times.
Facts. He was my favorite player. Had the body and strength of a boxer the elegance and dribbling skills like a brazilian legend and I dont know which player had a more powerfull shot like him. I am afraid he is still drinking when you see his pictures nowadays.
this just makes me respect messi and ronaldo even more because in ronaldo's case he is known for training like a machine. he worked so hard to perfect his skills. in messi's case people regard him as "god-gifted" but often forget that without the hard work and determination in training he won't have reached the level of where he is today.
I once watched an interview of zatlan saying if Messi stopped playing football for 2 years and returned he would still be the greatest because of his talent. And I'm like what? Talent alone is not enough. If so, why would he even show up to training sessions? 😂😂Pure rubbish
Those who say Messi is better than Ronaldo, Ok lets say Ronaldo is bad. But he plays just as good if no better than Messi which is reality. The summary is, if Ronaldo can engineer himself to be as good as Messi, isn't Ronaldo the better role model and better person than Messi? Why should i look up to Messi (a god given talent), when you and me and everyone can use Ronaldo's ethics to be just as good at anything we want to be good at? In this case Ronaldo worked hard to be the best because he was not that good in the first place? 🤪
For me, it was very painful to see Ronaldinho Gaucho decline that way. On the other hand, if he wasn't easy going and fun loving, he wouldn't be Ronaldinho.
Exactly. Sometimes the problem is that a player peaks too soon. Ronaldinho won everything worth winning in football by an early age so I guess he kinda lost the motivation to keep going and decided to just party instead. He had a successful career by all measures but when your heart is no longer in something, it doesn't really matter how good at it you are, you are bound to underperform.
You could say Dinho would be the GOAT if he took his career serious or had a sharp decline from his peak, but you can't say he ruined his career. Ruining a career would be players with undisputed, high ceilings but never achieved the ultimate peaks in the sport because of their own lack of dedication. How could Dinho ruin his career if he won all the most difficult trophies there were available for him to win? Ballon D'or WC Confederations Copa America Champions League Libertadores Spanish Champion Italian Champion Name any other player with all of these. Dinho had a better career than every other player other than a handful of players in the history of the sport.
@@maroda8094 I saw him play in person 4x and likely 50x on TV. A pleasure to watch early on and then incredibly sad to watch. As he got puffy and slow from excessive partying, who could help but think of what he might have been!

Kane is good, I admit physically questionable as he is one of the slowest strikers I've seen. But he certainly makes goals. I Just think he's stuck in a very mediocre team.
Listen for hazard, he was at Chelsea which is a big club but you're moving to real Madrid, the biggest club in the world for trophies and finances, you should be 100% focused at all times because real Madrid is a club which you dont mess about.

yup thats what people dont get some people are high flyers and want to have the best scores while some just enjoy what they do case in point ronaldinho a truly magical player
The difference out of all the players mentioned is that RONALDINHO has put his name on the history book of football. Living legend. The rest will not be remembered.
Ronaldinho (you may have heard this before, a lot, but it had to be said) achieved the success he did because of who he was, he could’ve changed as a player and trained more often but we don’t know whether or not he would’ve achieved more success, but a Ballon D’Or and bringing the most joy to the game of football in recent and long term memory is more than we could ever have asked of him and we are so thankful for that.
Dele Alli.. so much potential but the lifestyle became a priority for him. Luckily he's still young and still has a chance to turn it around. Hope to see him do well at Everton
"Everyone can agree ronaldinho was a flop" I dont even know what to say he was one of the best of the best and was never and never will and be even close to a flop he was one of the goats
His career could have been much better. His talent was incredible, he was such a fun to watch… but yes related to his talent he was a flop. He had everything to be considered the greatest of all time - maradona and pele taken into account
@@hadishamson393 really ? Compare what Ronaldinho won with what all the other Number 1’s won. Only PELÉ is really unreachable with 3 FIFA world cups won.
@@holkounholkoun6945 really ? Compare what Ronaldinho won with what all the other Number 1’s won. It is all there in the internet. Ronaldinho won every possible thing and even more. Only PELÉ is really unreachable with 3 FIFA world cups won.
Doesn't matter. If we are gonna compare trophies, Xavi & iniesta, Pele is up there. There is a reason maradona's name is mentioned in the same breath as Pele despite only winning it once. What makes Messi or Ronaldo a goat, is that both shown consistency & extreme professionalism till the end of their careers. How often do you see 34 or 36 year olds still performing for accolades & at elite level competition as a first team player? I think they can still go on to play till 38 or 40. Its an incredible achievement along with Zlatan, who is at AC MIlan at 39. This are what legends are made of.
True. I don't even think prime Steven Gerrard would be signed by Klopp since he was a little too lazy defensively and, not selfish, but over reliant on needing to be the one distributing the ball offensively that it would not work for Gegenpressing football. Klopp has a certain type that others undervalue and they become amazing when paired together. However there are a lot more football coaches coming through that share Klopp's philosophy so now it is a lot harder and more expensive to sign the type of players that fit.
@@callumpolaa.k.adjvinylrise2543 Dinho the man, the footballer, the legend... This man shouldn't be in a list with these other guys?! Madness bro... Long live Ronaldinho
putting Riquelme on a list of ruined careers is disrespectful on so many levels. The only real argument there is "he didn't do well in Barça and he wasn't really liked in Villareal despite playing really good football". Dude is a legend for Boca Juniours history and supporters, as well as for South American football in general. Overall good video, but placing Riquelme on a list of "failed careers" is downright outrageous
Another guy is George Best. One of the best players ever to play the game. What an amazing talent he was. His lousy habits such as Drinking and partying ended his career at a young age, same like ronaldinho. Great talent wasted..
The thing about Ronaldinho is that at PSG he was under the wing of a player who both loved him as a "kid brother" and one of the best examples of marrying extraordinary talent to dedication Jay Jay Okocha.
Van Gaal was right. When the team lost the ball, it was like playing with 10 men. It was the same in Argentina's national team. And he was a toxic person in the dressing room, very conflictive and whimsical. He always wanted to be the boss and thought he knew better than anybody, including the coach. That's why he only shined in Boca Juniors, where he effectively became the boss.
Ronaldinho was the ultimate player. Best at everything. In his peak, no player could do what he did. He only lacked consistency. Messi and Ronaldo play simple football as it is and are consistent. That is why they have reached this level. At being the greatest and the most talented player of all time. I will always go with Dhino.
Please put Mesut Ozil in this category. His new lifestyle change so as his football performance after signing a mega contract. In Wenger's last era, he decline so fast, he only provided 2 assists and zero goals in 28 Premier League games.
You can't inculcate talent by going to training. Its inborn....watch Ronaldinho....he would drink till early morning and show up to matches where he performed like a boss
Talent without hard work... Pure example,Novak Đoković in tennis 🎾. The guy who dominate tennis over a decade,the best on the planet, probably the Greatest of all time!!! But still training,even harder than before at age 34. Kobe Bryant in basketball 🏀, Ronaldo in football... Hard,hard work, every single day,no excuses!!!
To become a footballer is hard work you start at the age of 6 to 7 years old age in a youth club and you pay a weekly fee around £20.00 - £25.00 to the training manager.They have strict diet and strict training and when they reach age 15 they are told if the are good enough to become a footballer.You could train Saturdays and Sundays because of school.
From 03-06. Messi and Ronaldo have been at the top since 08. Year in, year our. Ronaldinho was as talented as them, maybe more so than CR7 but he didn’t have the right attitude the Brazilians never do
He start to going downhill when he moved to milan and he's like 28.... that's supposed to be your prime age... In other hand, michael jordan was still putting a good numbers even when he played in wizards and he's like 39 or 40 in that time
Ronaldinho did prevail wether on the pitch or in jail. Going to different league's winning or ending up runner up. Always an inspiration but the times have progressed on forward as if he knew Messi would take Barcelona to another level which he did! To myself and us supporters he has given an example of what could have to what truly what is
Mourinho was telling about the laziness of Hazard something like 10 years ago, many people thought it was just Mourinho that was speaking bad about another guy. Mourinho will only say shit about you if you don't give all for the team, he never told shit about the old Chelsea team, in fact it was the opposite, he always defended them (the first time he went there). Cause Lampard, Terry, Carvalho, Drogba and all the other guys were thinking about the team first and winning. Nowadays everyone criticize him because he doesn't manage to get the best of his players, but the truth is the players now just think about what they want, not what the team needs, and they rarely are thankful. Most of them just care about social media, money. That's why it's hard to get the best of guys like this. Pogba never gives everything on the pitch, he does efforts only when he wants to (and that's not that often). Many players could be way better and improve than what they are, like Alli in Tottenham. Now watch what's happening with Hazard, Mourinho was already telling that he wasn't very motivated as he should have been.
Ronaldhiño in the dance floor= Strong legZ and serious mobility plus rhythm!!!!!!! Maybe there’s something for future footballers to study after all rhythm is important in life.
Lmao Ronaldinho won everything a football player could win. He was so amazing in his prime brought a spark different than any other. Made Brazil the face of football for a while

Cassano was an idiot, as a Milan fan I'm still sicked to have had him and Balotelli play for my team. No matter the talent, they were hopeless, a waste of time.
Balotelli played really well at Nice, though. Cassano was a beast at Sampdoria, possibly the best player on the italian League and certainly the most decisive, as he carried an above average team to Champions League. Riquelme was a monster at Villarreal. Just because you didn't triumphed at Barcelona or Madrid doesn't mean you failed. And no one needs to go to Madrid or Barcelona to prove to be the world's best
Ronaldinho is still the GOAT and was amazing to watch back then, nowadays it's just ngubus running and shooting with 0 technique and creative vision in-between jfc.
How foolish comparing a winger to a midfielder. Hazard controls game holding the ball . De bruyne controls game by releasing the ball.Its not possible to compare them. They are equal in talent but more output is in the latter.

No, he most definitely did not achieve more than Messi and CR7. Trophies are team achievements. Dinho did not win them alone. His career was short-lived. Yes, he was very talented, but just imagine what he could've been had he put in the hard work.

Hardwork beats talent when talent doesn't work hard
But if you combine talent and hardwork you will get Messi and Ronaldo

It's not easy to have a winning mentality and maintaining level like Cristiano 🤷
I agree. Some people are just robots at some point I swear.
yup thats what people dont get some people are high flyers and want to have the best scores while some just enjoy what they do case in point ronaldinho a truly magical player
Imagine if Ronaldinho had mindset and work ethics and hardworking capability of CR7 😱
@@chetanraikar7055 and finally get benched and play for walai talai FC in middle east. "hardwork never beats talent".
Moral of the story: Talent isn't enough if you don't put in the graft 💯💯
The difference out of all the players mentioned is that RONALDINHO has put his name on the history book of football. Living legend. The rest will not be remembered.
You also need talent for Dedication and hard work. And they dont have it. It's just as important as football talent.
Ronaldinho (you may have heard this before, a lot, but it had to be said) achieved the success he did because of who he was, he could’ve changed as a player and trained more often but we don’t know whether or not he would’ve achieved more success, but a Ballon D’Or and bringing the most joy to the game of football in recent and long term memory is more than we could ever have asked of him and we are so thankful for that.
Them fools saying he underachieved. Lmao. He's the goat.
As a fellow brazillian, i will not allow any disrespect on Ronaldhino. the man is a legend on and off field. Thank you.
Gascoigne was finished at 30, whereas Beardsley was still a great player at 34.
Other than making videos for RUclips this is one of the channels that I give my time happily.great channel
Hard work beats talent! When talent doesn’t work hard!
Lukas Podolski was also quite lazy in training when he was young. That ruined his time at Bayern when he was ih his best years.
Dele Alli.. so much potential but the lifestyle became a priority for him. Luckily he's still young and still has a chance to turn it around. Hope to see him do well at Everton
Not lifestyle it’s anger issues
Gazza and Adriano obviously. These two would have been the best thee was in their time.
"Everyone can agree ronaldinho was a flop" I dont even know what to say he was one of the best of the best and was never and never will and be even close to a flop he was one of the goats
His career could have been much better. His talent was incredible, he was such a fun to watch… but yes related to his talent he was a flop. He had everything to be considered the greatest of all time - maradona and pele taken into account
A goat for a season or 2. Not a Legendary 1.

@@holkounholkoun6945 really ? Compare what Ronaldinho won with what all the other Number 1’s won.
It is all there in the internet.
Ronaldinho won every possible thing and even more.
Only PELÉ is really unreachable with 3 FIFA world cups won.
Doesn't matter. If we are gonna compare trophies, Xavi & iniesta, Pele is up there. There is a reason maradona's name is mentioned in the same breath as Pele despite only winning it once. What makes Messi or Ronaldo a goat, is that both shown consistency & extreme professionalism till the end of their careers. How often do you see 34 or 36 year olds still performing for accolades & at elite level competition as a first team player? I think they can still go on to play till 38 or 40. Its an incredible achievement along with Zlatan, who is at AC MIlan at 39. This are what legends are made of.
Hazard might actually get back to his best, not prime but best, There was some rumours about him shocked some people while training
actually the news of some getting shocked is that hazard was in a terrible physical condition
Being overweight
@@movieinsider1134 hater
@@movieinsider1134 No he was actually Great
@@adityadas6638 I’d like to see you try playing in La Liga while being overweight
None of whom would be signed by Jurgen Kloop. Everyone in current Liverpool squad works their ass off and hits above their weight
So true every one of them would die on the pitch for jurgen
even bayern munich
True. And it’s Klopp
True. I don't even think prime Steven Gerrard would be signed by Klopp since he was a little too lazy defensively and, not selfish, but over reliant on needing to be the one distributing the ball offensively that it would not work for Gegenpressing football. Klopp has a certain type that others undervalue and they become amazing when paired together. However there are a lot more football coaches coming through that share Klopp's philosophy so now it is a lot harder and more expensive to sign the type of players that fit.
Man, I've watched some of Riquelme's matches on tv. When he was on .... he was really on. The guy was amazing on the pitch.
ronaldinho: the party one
eden hazard: the greedy one
jose mourinho: *the special one*
Hazard can't even be compared the Footballing God like Ronaldinho.. he did more in a game than Hazard did in his whole career

@@callumpolaa.k.adjvinylrise2543 I would put Dinho ahead but yes definitely, Kaka dominated when he was at it
putting Riquelme on a list of ruined careers is disrespectful on so many levels. The only real argument there is "he didn't do well in Barça and he wasn't really liked in Villareal despite playing really good football". Dude is a legend for Boca Juniours history and supporters, as well as for South American football in general.
Overall good video, but placing Riquelme on a list of "failed careers" is downright outrageous
Another guy is George Best. One of the best players ever to play the game. What an amazing talent he was. His lousy habits such as Drinking and partying ended his career at a young age, same like ronaldinho. Great talent wasted..
George best fulfilled his potential tho
The thing about Ronaldinho is that at PSG he was under the wing of a player who both loved him as a "kid brother" and one of the best examples of marrying extraordinary talent to dedication Jay Jay Okocha.
Riquelme passing is just on another level, opposite team where like "why is he kicking the ball to there? OH SHIT !"
Van Gaal was right. When the team lost the ball, it was like playing with 10 men. It was the same in Argentina's national team. And he was a toxic person in the dressing room, very conflictive and whimsical. He always wanted to be the boss and thought he knew better than anybody, including the coach. That's why he only shined in Boca Juniors, where he effectively became the boss.
Dinho was all about samba-on and off pitch. And he has won everything. Stellar career whichever way you look at it.
However, so far, Ronaldinho is still the best football player the earth has NEVER produced. Respect from Congo🇨🇩
Ronaldinho was the ultimate player. Best at everything. In his peak, no player could do what he did. He only lacked consistency. Messi and Ronaldo play simple football as it is and are consistent. That is why they have reached this level. At being the greatest and the most talented player of all time. I will always go with Dhino.

Vieira is still hungry to destroy plyrs 😂
Please put Mesut Ozil in this category.
His new lifestyle change so as his football performance after signing a mega contract.
In Wenger's last era, he decline so fast, he only provided 2 assists and zero goals in 28 Premier League games.
Real Madrid just sold their strictest person on diets and brought as a replacement, the lousiest person on diets
LMAO
😂
You can't inculcate talent by going to training. Its inborn....watch Ronaldinho....he would drink till early morning and show up to matches where he performed like a boss
This video is heartbreaking 💔
Talent without hard work... Pure example,Novak Đoković in tennis 🎾. The guy who dominate tennis over a decade,the best on the planet, probably the Greatest of all time!!! But still training,even harder than before at age 34. Kobe Bryant in basketball 🏀, Ronaldo in football... Hard,hard work, every single day,no excuses!!!
“Hard work is a talent” sir Alex Ferguson
To become a footballer is hard work you start at the age of 6 to 7 years old age in a youth club and you pay a weekly fee around £20.00 - £25.00 to the training manager.They have strict diet and strict training and when they reach age 15 they are told if the are good enough to become a footballer.You could train Saturdays and Sundays because of school.
Mario is the player who got featured in what the hell happened series the most number of times. 😐
#SuperMario 🥺💔
See Luigi is better !!
Baloteli was actually hard working when was in training he's not lazy ,just crazy
Ronaldinho is still the best I ever seen
He’s the Micheal Jordan of Football
He was nothing like Jordan when it comes to attitude and dedication. Which is the entire point of this video.
@@dev_kaos lol someone's mad XD
From 03-06. Messi and Ronaldo have been at the top since 08. Year in, year our. Ronaldinho was as talented as them, maybe more so than CR7 but he didn’t have the right attitude the Brazilians never do
That's just it, Michael Jordan trained hard! Ronaldinho could have been even more phenomenal if he actually trained harder.
He start to going downhill when he moved to milan and he's like 28.... that's supposed to be your prime age...
In other hand, michael jordan was still putting a good numbers even when he played in wizards and he's like 39 or 40 in that time
Balotelli is the one who disappointed me the most. He couldve been so much more but he lacked discipline and mentality 🤦🏽♂️
I know what you mean he played for juventus, liverpool, man city, you don't get there by mistake
Yh it's true, but I think Hazard still has a chance to become the player he was at Chelsea (if only he stops eating bofrot) Do you know what that is?
Bofrot/puff puff
Nigerian snack made of egg ,sugar vegetable ,fried yeast ,butter etc some what like dutch doughnuts
every single player of them went lazy after collecting 10s of MILLION$!!! anyone of us will do the same after the 1st million ... fr
where the F is Icardi? Barbecuin’ every day 😂
Oui où est Icardi 😂😂😂😂
And James Rodriguez
And Dele Alli
And Mesut Ozil
Watching a Ronaldinho highlight reel is a joy. At his best - he was a step above Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi.
I think we forgot another Brazilian legend.
Adriano.!!!
Ronaldinho did prevail wether on the pitch or in jail.
Going to different league's winning or ending up runner up. Always an inspiration but the times have progressed on forward as if he knew Messi would take Barcelona to another level which he did!
To myself and us supporters he has given an example of what could have to what truly what is
I swear down though hazard in the thumb nail reminds me of how much weight willain has put on
iya sygku
Mourinho was telling about the laziness of Hazard something like 10 years ago, many people thought it was just Mourinho that was speaking bad about another guy. Mourinho will only say shit about you if you don't give all for the team, he never told shit about the old Chelsea team, in fact it was the opposite, he always defended them (the first time he went there). Cause Lampard, Terry, Carvalho, Drogba and all the other guys were thinking about the team first and winning. Nowadays everyone criticize him because he doesn't manage to get the best of his players, but the truth is the players now just think about what they want, not what the team needs, and they rarely are thankful. Most of them just care about social media, money. That's why it's hard to get the best of guys like this. Pogba never gives everything on the pitch, he does efforts only when he wants to (and that's not that often). Many players could be way better and improve than what they are, like Alli in Tottenham. Now watch what's happening with Hazard, Mourinho was already telling that he wasn't very motivated as he should have been.
This has motivated me to not train 💀
😂😂😂😂
But how????
Ronaldhiño in the dance floor=
Strong legZ and serious mobility plus rhythm!!!!!!!
Maybe there’s something for future footballers to study after all rhythm is important in life.
Lmao Ronaldinho won everything a football player could win. He was so amazing in his prime brought a spark different than any other. Made Brazil the face of football for a while
He made Brazil the face of football for a while? What planet are you from?

He would never😂. Messi is not only training. Messi was God given
If i trained for 15 years, I would have been like Messi.
-Cassano
Nonsense. You will never be.
Really appreciate LM10 & CR7 for their dedication.
Cassano was an idiot, as a Milan fan I'm still sicked to have had him and Balotelli play for my team. No matter the talent, they were hopeless, a waste of time.
Hazard is So Unlucky 🙏😭
Balotelli played really well at Nice, though.
Cassano was a beast at Sampdoria, possibly the best player on the italian League and certainly the most decisive, as he carried an above average team to Champions League.
Riquelme was a monster at Villarreal.
Just because you didn't triumphed at Barcelona or Madrid doesn't mean you failed. And no one needs to go to Madrid or Barcelona to prove to be the world's best
My face when he said “ Everybody knew that he was a flop 💀
Jaja yeah I didn’t like that either. That’s everyone’s idol
The list is endless. LOL
The Brazilian Adriano sticks out in my mind. He was the supposed successor to Ronaldo, and did not even try.

oh Hazard. its just sad to see you wither away even when so young
tbh I rather train and build up the chemistry with the boys on the pitch than go to a party.
tbh i love coke
A Really Pleasant And Best Way To Avoid Being Like That Is To Work Hard!
Messi just needs a Pepsi and a razor 🪒 to enter BEAST MODE
GOAT mode
You should have put in Delli Alli
hazard isn’t even 10% of de bruyne
Hazards massively overrated.. I really don't understand where people get these mad ideas from... He couldn't even lace Ronaldinhos boots
How foolish comparing a winger to a midfielder.
Hazard controls game holding the ball . De bruyne controls game by releasing the ball.Its not possible to compare them. They are equal in talent but more output is in the latter.
@@thecrazypianist8243 but people in the comments are ok to compare the likes of Messi Ronaldo or Ronaldinho to Hazard?! Are you going to chase them down now for commenting that? I wasn't comparing a positional switch., as a player, it's Kevin De Bruyne that makes my team 1st all day long
@@dappadappz9374 same here . My fav player kdb . But lets compare him only to midfielders.
@@halfvolley2273 what team do you support? Just wondering?
I have to say, Neymar has to be considered in the top ten of the list. He is already fading away and gaining weight before he even turns 30.
Ronaldinho was pure talent, no hard work and still achieved more than Messi and cr7
Bollocks
Ronaldinho did train, but not properly and went partying many times. Ronaldo, Romário and Adriano did the same.
No, he most definitely did not achieve more than Messi and CR7. Trophies are team achievements. Dinho did not win them alone. His career was short-lived. Yes, he was very talented, but just imagine what he could've been had he put in the hard work.
Ronaldinho, won everything and partied while doing it, goat status confirmed
