    As a Corinthians fan, I appreciate you highlighting this. Ronaldo jump started our most successful decade where we won the Libertadores and the Club World Cup within two years after Ronaldo’s retirement. Will forever be grateful for being able to watch him at my club and for what he did for us

    Ronaldo was the definition of gifted, he was tall but not too tall where he would be janky and unbalanced, he was strong but he was also insanely quick, also was agile and smart, if he didn't get that many injuries or get hypothyroidism, there wouldn't be a debate for the greatest ever, i myself believe that even with Messi, Cristiano, Pelé, Maradona, Di Stefano, Puskas, Ronaldinho, etc.., Ronaldo still is the greatest ever.

    I hate when ppl say that a player carreer is over just because he left Europe to play elsewhere. Like Ronaldo at Corintians, Ronaldinho also was still really good when he was playing at Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro when he left Europe, Marcelo and Felipe Melo just won the '' champions league '' equivalent for Fluminense on South America and Cristiano Ronaldo is still killing at the Saudi league. So no, leaving Europe does not mean your carreer is over nor does mean youre not a good player anymore

    His season with Barcelona, in 49 games he scored 47 goals! I remember watching him play some of the games, his whole team was defending, he was staying in the midfield area, they would throw a long ball at him, and he would rip to shreds the opponent's defensive line, 4 guys sometimes 5 against a single man, and he would dribble and play with them, until either having some help, but in most cases he would speed to the goal and score!

    • @giovannigio3764
      @giovannigio3764 Před 3 měsíci +29

      And he was only a talent but was voted the best in the world. When he joind a indoor football club at the age of 11 he scored 166 times in his first season. At the age of 16 he was playing in the 1e squad (Brazilian pro league.) and did score 5 times in a single match. At the age of 18 he should have been worldplayer of the year but he did get it when he was 20 and is till this day the youngest best player of the world ever. And his stats as a talent with the performances are also unmatched.
      Neymar was a outstanding talent but Ronaldo was the best ever. Sadly destroyed by major injuries and the disease for sure started when he was at Real.

      @@HelmHammerhand1709 His time at Inter before his 2 major injuries was indeed with less goals than before. But the opposite teams did not only have amazing d defenders but also was known for their type of play that was heavily defensive. Indeed the most hard time to play in as a striker. Ronaldo could overcome everything. But not the biggest problem. And that was that they could make much more and much harder faults on players. That was the main reason that the best player was kicked over and over again because there was no other way to stop him most of the time. Even the best defender ever Maldini could not always stop him.

Before 2005 it was a novelty for teams to be running as much as they do today (excluding some teams - a lot of them from the Netherlands I guess). I think compared to the 90s teams run twice as much now therefore it was just easier for the defense to stay organized and mark your opponent's strongest offensive players tightly.

    My favorite player of all time. I remember I was finishing high-school staying late to watch his final seasons at Corinthians. And I am from Bulgaria. On the other side of the planet it was 3-4 AM when he and Corinthians played in Brazil. I loved him so much and I was praying for Dunga to take him back just for the good old times when he carried Brazil. He might've been 115 kg, but you didn't show ( I think I didn't see the video in this clip) where the supposedly "unfit" Ronaldo outran a defender. Ronaldo made us love football in 2002. For me and my generation he will always be the G.O.A.T, because look at him - 115 kg doing unthinkable things. Every time you cross him off, he returns back even deadlier. That's why he is the "The Phenomenon". No other player is called like that.

Whenever I see videos or just think about el fenomeno I've to cry. It makes me so sad to see how many people were so harsh to him. For me he is the all time greatest player, even better than ronaldo and messi.

    Ronaldo in Real Madrid, was like 1.83cm and 90-94kg, you gotta understand how dangerous it can be for your knees by just tryna run and jogging, and this dude was playing high level football, being heavy and practice high impact sport is very very painful and cause lots of injuries, even tho this man was killing players and goal keepers, it cant amaze me more, today Im 1.84cm and 91kg and when I jog my knees hurt, doctor said I cant do a alot, imagine being a professional player.

    The most complete forward, dare I say, football has ever seen. He would be the undisputed GOAT if he wasn't affected by injuries left and right (still ended up being one of the greatest ever). He was so talented and his moves, speed, strength, skillset etc. were so vicious even his own body, let alone defenders, couldn't keep up with him. And with the current style of football and tactics followed, I doubt whether we will ever see another genius on work like R9. I consider myself blessed to have been able to watch him in his prime.

He gave everything for those last years of glory and even now his inspiration is inspiring others in his new roles in spain.

    For me Ronaldo Nazario is the best and greatest striker in football history, no debate imo. Also i think it is wrong how people call him some mean things, without knowing that Ronaldo had/has a disease which makes it hard to keep in great shape no matter how hard someone train. Ronaldo wasnt lazy, it was more about him not being able to do the things he used to do, which prevented him from performing at the highest level anymore. Either way Ronaldo is a top 3-5 player of all time even when his career was shortened, his peak is top 3-5 all time imo and he is overall the best striker ever in my opinion 🇧🇷9️⃣💯

    He was a great italian (but born and grown in USA) footballer and striker, being considered a very promising player in his youth and potentially one of the best forwards in Europe at a point. Unfortunately, his career was filled with injuries and it seemed like his knees were made of glass, so he remains a big "what if", but I think his story is a very interesting one.

    This is the reason why we cannot say Ronaldo is like normal Brazillians who only loves to party because he is indeed work hard like normal "Europeans" always claimed to have. It is just his body failing him every freaking time. He is both gifted and hard-worker and this video doesn't even show his greatest feat of all time (that miracle WC 2002 comeback, revenge and redemption). Only him can do what he did in 2002 (not even the four of Pele, Maradona, Messi and CR7 can top that).
    There is a reason true fans always say if his body doesn't betray him, he will be the undisputed GOAT.
    In fact, His career is a blazing glory despite his injury proneness (352 goals in 518 matches, 2 WC gold, 1 WC silver, 1 Confed Cup, 2 Copas, 1 Olympic Bronze, WC golden boot in 2002, second top scorer of all time in WC, 1 WC golden ball, 1 WC silver ball and 2 Ballon D'Or).

      I am not a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, definitely not, but I have also seen him play in at least 2 tournaments where his teammates seemed to be incapable of getting him into the game. Also, as far as I know, didn't he score in every other competition when needed? I don't quite know, but if the answer is yes, then sorry, to me that is just bad luck or whatever other circumstances. I doubt that he would have become nervous or anything like that. And I doubt that someone like him wouldn't have done whatever he could do to score and help his team.

    Even at 115 kilograms during his time at Corinthians, most of the time he was still playing 'walking football' in a league full of professionals. In a league that is currently the 4th strongest league in the world. It should not have been possible, but yet he did it, game after game. One of the most clinical finishers to grace the field.

      By the time he was at AC Milan, he already had 4 major injuries and when he got another major injury again at Milan that was it pretty much. I remember the interview very well and it would have been impossible for him to take the medication to help him due it being on WADA'S banned list for many years prior and I know about his condition because my mum had overactive and underactive thyroid meaning she gained and lost weight without any control and the medication available had many negative side effects.
