You should react to Eden Hazard when football becomes art

@john shore he reacted to a different video I'm pretty sure.
GREENWOOOOOOOOOOD
Fun fact : Ronaldo had that haircut so everyone can stop asking him about his knee injury and talk about the hair cut . And it worked
haha that's not happen, the truth was about his convulsion in 1998 world cup final (the high pressure on him cause he was the best of the world in 96 and 97 is the explanation behind) so he do that haircut to everyone stop asking him about the problem in last finals
@@erickx22x Nao
@@erickx22x era um novo problema, accho q era na coxa dessa vez
Well, he did that haircut after the match against Turkey on semi finals 2002 (Football World Cup). There is a Turkish soccer player with this haircut. Everyone can find this match here.
Facts
He is the most complete striker ever in football history.He had everything.
But Cristiano Ronaldo is definitely the most complete FORWARD of all time, no one is like Cristiano as a forward
Also we can also add Marco van basten here
had everything but a good knee,so he didnt have everything
complete?? His header skill??
most talented maybe
@@sahibwr10 Lewa and Pele says hi too 🙌
That knee injury really stopped Ronaldo to become the greatest ever to play football
he had to be nerfed somehow, and he was..twice
@@jjotinha 3 times he got a severe knee injury in milan
@@matheusbarneche I was talking about booth legs
He still is!!!
if you only look at players peak, he is the goat
Fun Fact: Lionel Messi was asked who is the player that is his Idol and he said "Ronaldo Nazario he is the best player I've have ever seen everyone wanted to be like him".
Messi's idol is Pablo Aimar ..but Messi told the best player is R9..There is a difference between idol and best player
Yh Pablo aimar
His idol is pablo aimar but Yeah ge considers r9 as thr best
Mr PK; so true & not only him. Most of legendary players & coaches said that same thing about R9.
Messi said r9 is the best striker ever NOT player
As someone over 30, when I hear Ronaldo I still only think of R9. Everybody wanted to be like Ronaldo.
if you think about ronaldo most think about cristiano but if you say r9 or ronaldo nazario everyone knows its the brazilian one
@@theman1594 if I hear ronaldo I think about R9 too. He was the better players so that's why.
R9 will always be the best striker ever...at least in my opinion. He is the only one I know as Ronaldo...the other one is Cristiano. 😅
@@coxx2807 cristiano is definitely better lol
@@LeonPessanha Same Brother
I know this Ronaldo.
Other one is Cristiano
Just as a bonus, Mourinho was asked this same thing recently, his answer remained the same, even after having seen Cristiano and Messi
Personally, R9 was the best all-around striker to ever play. However, I never got to see Pele play live, but I was able to watch R9 in his prime and no one, not even today's top strikers, are doing what he used to do to defenders and goalkeepers alike.
That haircut was legendary btw, don't hate.
That style of play where it looks like a gym floor that they're playing on is called Futsal. It's a bit different from regular football or even indoor soccer. How it's different? Well first off, the game is played on a gym floor as you can see, but what makes it different from indoor is that in Futsal they use a ball that is much smaller and more weighted, so that the ball does not bounce as much and it will stay on the floor for most of the game. Why is this significant? Because most players who have grown up playing Futsal at a young age have been honing their foot skills and their touches on the ball since the game is heavily based on passing and skill moves, where as regular football encompasses the whole side of the game, and indoor soccer will mainly focus on the fitness side of the game.
Unfortunately, this has to be said. I don't know if it was Internazionale's decision to play Ronaldo in that game or if it was his decision, but I believe that they both came to an agreement for him to play that day. The club wanted him to play, but didn't want him to injure himself further. Ronaldo, being asked if he felt fit to play, was never going to say no to playing. He loves the game too much to watch from the sidelines. I don't think it was anyone's fault as to what happened to him in that match or there after. I think it was just a man's desire to play the game he loved and a club wanting to see there star player play against one of the league rivals at the time, Lazio.
Last thing that I will note. R9 played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid. If any other player were to have done that now a days or even in the past, one side would HATE that player for playing for their rivals, which is regarded as one of, if not, the greatest rivalries in football history. However, R9 was not hated by anyone, he was just simply loved for being who he was. Same thing can be said with the biggest rivalry in Italy, Internazionale and AC Milan.
Nah van basten and Suarez are both more complete strikers than ronny
It was figured out that Inter buying Ronaldo from Barcelona would have costed around 400 million dollars if that exact same transfer had happened today
I heard about that haircut his own words. He said he knew that haircut was funny but he wanted to focus media attention away from his injuries.😂😂 But He said after WC he was very sad when he saw school children also follow him & did that haircut 😲 Because at that time he was the hero who won the love of everyone from a small child to an adult. But then he apologized to all the mothers for it. Very humble player.. you are the one & only our "phenomenon"💪
I live in Brazil and I was a child at that time. There was definitely a lot of children doing that haircut in my school in 2002 hahaha
Dude, he apologized for a haircut.... I don't understand!
@@liongordel9088 he apologized for The kids he influenced with that damn haircut, thats why he apologized to the mothers.(it was in a lighthearted way lol, it wasnt a Big deal just funny)
At his best form, R9 was the best player of all time.
Your comment is the most accurate because Cristiano or Messi in no time of their prime were better than Nazarios prime
@@olivier4916100%
100%
He was injured before the World Cup and decided to get that haircut so no one would ask about the injury. And it worked 👏🏼
Everybody loves him.
Phenomenon.
I just like him like anything.
Best Striker.
Imagine playing for Barcelona and Real Madrid and being adored by both sets of rival fanbases.
Same with playing for Inter Milan and AC Milan - only Ronaldo can do that and still be beloved by both sets of fans.
The reason why he was the best striker because he has no weaknesses
*player
Best player in the world when I started playing football, for me personally, still the best No#9 striker I have seen in my lifetime. I remember back in the day every team had one or two kids who copied his shitty hair style and many were copying his finger celebration. He was just a natural - pure, sheer effortless style combined with a killer mentality in front of goal. Brazil started to decline when this guy stopped torturing world football.
You should react to: "How a knee injury stopped R9 from becoming the greatest."
For me it's no debate R9 is the absolute goat and he is to everybody who knows his story even if he doesn't have Messi's and Ronaldo's numbers.
He actually had those numbers until injuries ruined him!
@@JohanCruyff-the-Dutch-GOAT had better numbers than messi and ronaldo until injuries but overall messi and cr7 got better numbers, that's what I mean.
@@JohanCruyff-the-Dutch-GOAT Why you are putting Messi here? He is an absolute playmaker who score more than a number 9 and also dictat the game
@@abmediatube4523 blablabla
@@henry247 clown🤡
My favorite player ever and in my opinion the best to ever do it 🤷🏽♂️
👏👏👍
Nah not the best ever but he could have been best striker ever. He probably is
@@kamilmalinowski1267 Romario is one of the best strikers ever, he's so underrated. He's the 3rd highest scorer in football history (753 goals), and was prolific in the box and could dribble anyone with ease.
@@McFlashh What about Van basten and Garard muller
@@abmediatube4523 not close to romario and Ronaldo. Van basten is top3 though
There's one thing to love about Brazilian footballers. Most footballers do so so much fitness. Brazilians like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were ALWAYS like PLAY and PARTY
it worked back then ,but where re those fancy brazilians now? theres Neymar but he is not as good, wooden leg Vinicius ,Rodrigo ? or who is the new brazilian wonderkid? who will destroy european football? coz i see nobody
@@baiacudriver Exactly
That's not true, players like Roberto Carlos and Cafú are very workout players and Ronaldo have that's numbers because he was workout a lot
Isso não é verdade, pessoas medíocres acham que o sucesso acontece pelo acaso, Romário por exemplo odiava treinar, mais treinava mais que todos e por isso foi o que foi.
I watched r9 throughout my childhood and teenage years. Looking back, I think it wasn’t really the knee injuries that did him in, it was the thyroid problem. He came back strong from multiple knee injuries and still dominated. But when he couldn’t shift the weight it was game over. People started calling him lazy and washed up but once it came out that he had a thyroid problem everything made sense.
R9 is the Mike Tyson of football, both peaked at early age of 19-22, both became the best in the world at age 20, and are both arguably the best ever in their prime
relax
@@eurongreyjoy1008 leave
Did mike Tyson went out of form early?
R9 isn't as good as messi or CR7 lol
@@knucklepuck7263 yeah cuz he's better lol
Most skilled player that ever played the game, my favourite player of all time. Pelé and Maradona already said that only if he didn't get injured, he would probably be the GOAT. What most people don't see is that his super fast dribbling at top speed, requiring explosive direction changes, is what led him to the injuries. Until this day, no one has been able to show that kind of dribbling at such high speed. It was Ronaldo's gift, but also what led him to the injuries.
Finally!!!!!! 🎊🎉
R9 The LEGEND
R9 is still a legend when he was a footballer, and he still helps out in brazil for the e-sport scène.
That 2002 haircut has a story behind it ! Ronaldo had injured a leg muscle in the semifinals morning and he didnt want the media to talk about it and thats why he shaved like that and the media ignored the injury and kept talking about the haircut 😂💙.. ohh and btw he is the GOAT 🐐 no matter what
13:05 It's good that you recognized Mourinho. One thing you missed in that photo is that the man on the right is Pep Guardiola who said, "I was a lucky guy as a player. I played with Romario, Ronald Koeman, Luis Figo... but Ronaldo is one step above".
That’s an insane 3 man to name. Koeman was insane in his time, Figo got a golden boot and honestly, Romario is absolutely revered in Brazil as one of Brazil’s best forwards EVER.
@@Lucaz99 Agreed, Romario was amazing. Really love some of the goals he had at Barca with assists from Michael Laudrup (one of the best playmakers of the 90s).
pre-injury Ronaldo was really something else, yes the numbers are ridiculous but watching him play was even more impressive, he was that kind of player who almost look like something out of a video game, it was like watching someone with the finishing skills and natural scoring sense of a lewandowski or a haaland but so much more faster and technical, it almost seemed unfair. It's to bad that the injuries really limited the insane possibilities of his career.
he is my favorite player he is just incredible if he was playing right now he will make every single league and its defenders joke if you know paolo maldini who was ramos's idol and in my opinion the best defender in the world sayed he is a nightmare for everyone aaaaaah if he was playing at this times 😖😖
Fun fact: Maldini actually did win a 1v1 with Ronaldo Nazario
@@nguyenjokergaming4353 maldini wasn't comfortable either
@@baklele9171 yup
@@baklele9171 both are true, They were like the Best 1v1 expectation, the most consistent, tactical and fierce defender against the most dangerous, fast and talented Striker, i would Say they we're 50/50 in their encounters, sadly werent so Many due to Ronaldo severe injuries
Fenômeno 🇧🇷🔥
I've been a fan of Ronaldo the phenomenon my whole life, so one day I saw the announcement that he was signed by Corinthians in Brazil (the last team he played), it was the best soccer moment for me, to see the best of all the times on my team. And he even won 2 titles.
Fun fact this is the real goat.
No, R9 its the best 9 in football history, but its not the goat because there are players that are better, for example: Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Di Stefano, Pele, Cr7, Maradona and Messi
@@Xapandem he is the goat for me
@@coxx2807 that's like me saying lingard is the best because I think he is. Objectively speaking R9 is not the goat.
@@knucklepuck7263 R9 is the best who saw him play. You don't need the numbers in his case. And objectively speaking he is the goat cuz he has better numbers than cr7 and messi until 23 when he got injured
@@Xapandem Yes these R9 fans are deluded. R9 probably the best number 9 along with van basten but talking he is the GOAT is a shit
Numbers don't always tell the full story, it's the emotion that someone conjures up, that stays with you forever, I never got the same feeling of enjoyment & excitement from any other footballer....waiting to watch him play was an event itself, & every goal was a special occasion, almost like you knew, you'd never see the likes of him again.... Ronaldo is to Football, what Senna is to F1
or what Michael Jordan is to basketball. R9 is my GOAT, and I did not watch football before and probably the next couple of years after he left AC Milan. I liked the Galacticos (Zidane, Luis Figo, Beckham, Roberto Carlos), Del Pierro, Inzaghi, Ronaldhino, and Thierry Henry
The emotions you felt during the video are the same emotions we all felt watching him during his career. Great reaction.
17:47 really good example actually and it’s crazy how when he did comeback he was unstoppable. Apparently he’s one of only a select few to make a full recovery in NBA history
The best striker ever
Dude , love this reaction video ... R9 is the most tragic story in football history... as incredible as his career was, it would have been so much more incredible if not for his career ending knee injuries .... before those Injuries, he could do the 100 m at 10:2 according to test from Inter without the ball and yet many know he runs faster with the ball than without it.... simply blessed with insane pace , power and skill and he easily would have been undisputed GOAT if not for those injuries
For many people(including me) he is the best ever after Pelé.
Yes ofcourse
He's above Pelé in my opinion
@@Bien_se_passer_tkt_pas same
He is above pele and probably the best number 9 but definitely not the best ever player because Maradona, Cruyff, Messi, maldini, Bechanbauer, Di stefano all are better
@@abmediatube4523 you forgot CR7
Ronaldo ane Messi have stats like this now, Ronaldo has those kind of stats....20 years ago when the best scorer has a ratio like...0.47. he's crazy
ronaldo and messi had better ratios than R9
Many people have said it before but Ronaldo really was the man. Lots of great players from that era but no one is really comparable. It's crazy to think that kids growing up in rural parts of northern Sweden knew and loved him. You'll hear the same story from every country where they play football. The crazy thing is, back in the day, they only really got to see him on TV every 4 years during the World Cups! That's how magical he was.
Watch his highlights of PSV, barca and inter please. He was an alien, better than anyone else of all time
R9 was the a beast..a monster terrorizing defenders giving nightmares..the most complete striker..he got badly injured during his time at inter milan..he didnt play for 2 years..sold to madrid and most people said that he was finished..he came back won the World cup and even the ballon d or..R9 was truly the phenomeno..during his prime he was unstoppable..unplayable..a true champion..a fighter..he overcome all obstacles to be the best no 9 in football history..for me he was the greatest no 9 that ever played the game..what a legend
That was a great reaction. It was nice to see you two so emotionally invested in his story despite not having witnessed it or even had ever a proper reaction to him. (I say that as someone who found following R9 through the years a really emotional, esp when he had that "come-back-injury" and all the world said he'd never come back again. Thankfully he proved them wrong.) If you dig deeper it gets even crazier with the bad luck, the vid kinda skips over the loss to France in the 98-world cup, but for mysterious reasons to this very day he had a random seizure-esque episode on the day of the final. He also skipped over the fact R9 has won two Copa Americas, named best player and being the top scorer respectively in those runs.
Ronaldo was an "error" of the universe, so the matrix had to be "fixed". That's why it was very important to injure him in the knee and giving him hypothyroidism, so that way the universe is balanced. Fun fact: the universe couldn't stop him.
R9 foi o maior monstro no tempo dos monstros. Zidane, Figo, Ibra, Trezeguet, Henry, R10, CR7, Messi, Adriano, Kaka...
Ronaldo era temido e admirado por todos eles. Definitivamente o melhor 9 que já existiu.
He was my childhood superhero
If not for injuries he would have been the greatest player ever. Til this day he's the most complete player i've seen with my own eyes, not just youtube highligts or broadcasts but actually in a stadium. Solo hay un Ronaldo, el mejor 9 de la historia, el fenómeno!
He is the deadliest nd greatest strike ever in football history.
He changed the way of attacking style of football.. more speed more skill, full pressure attacking game.
His attacking , control, speed, strength, no any other players play like hi , no one can't. That's his level of quality. 💯
No one like him , no one ever will, that's why everyone mension him el fenomeno ( the phenomenon ) .
Hi is the reason that I started playing ☺️🖤
My idol 💯🙌🏼
I always tell to my strikers be like him, try to play like him.
The real Ronaldo ( el fenomeno )
My favourite after Messi, the OG Ronaldo 🔥
In the year 2000 me all my friends had the same haircut just to honor R9 wow what a player it’s hard to explain because when you see him walking to the field the felling that you’ll see something special that night it’s unique 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
R9 was everyone's favorite player round the 2000s' . I dont like the GOAT discussion, there have been so many great players and all of em played major part in what football is today 💯
He’s definitely one of the greats with three ballon d’ors I believe. 2002 world cup was his highlight , winning the golden boot with eight goals and led Brazil to victory.
Any man who chooses CR7 over Messi or R9 hasnt a clue about football. CR7 isnt on the same level as these two. If R9 played today he would be fighting for the balon dor ever year. the man was unstoppable and something else
The ORIGIONAL RONALDO
Great video comments and analysis. I'm a R9 fan! You 2 rock! 👍💯
The moment he got injured, everyone thought his career was over, he turned things around by winning the World Cup, becoming the greatest scorer of all time, and even winning the Golden Ball for best player in the world 3 times, determination and overcoming. 💪💪
Ronaldo is the goat. Every kiddo wanted to be him! A true Brazilian hero! We love him! Much respect! "There's only one Ronaldo!".
23:55 I saw this game on tv when Ronaldo caused this player to fall by the faint play, I had a Brazilian friend and we were laughing hard about how Ronaldo being that heavy accomplished this play. Ronaldo was loved by the entire Football world even though he had the overweight problem but kept the amazing skills
And you need to know the football/soccerball was heavy in the early days it only got lighter and better
Best player ever! Everybody loved him, except Oliver Kahn!
R9 had the haircut bc he was out of the game for over a year due to his injuries and he returned at the world cup. He wanted to shift the attention towards his hair instead of his time out of the game and it worked tbf Brazil won the world cup that year and he played a huge role
A true Phenomenon with unfortunately a myriad of extremely serious injuries! The true GOAT on a Football pitch imo!
I love R9, he made me fall in love with football...He was pure class, the boy wonder, the Phenomenon!
This is why so many Brazilians have injury problems in their 20’s as many start so young, they’ve already played twice as many games than most in Europe by the time they’re in their late teens. Its causes a lot of wear and tear when they should be at their peak forcing many into early retirement.
Alexander pato is og in pes... I still remember I used Pato..he scored hat trick in one game
pato sucks bro, he's aint no regular player in Brazil... He only play well in Internacional and them in Milan... In any other club he played, he sucks... look for videos of him playing in a brazilian team Corinthians...
Ronaldo 9 was unstoppable no one could enough to stop him
Except the bad injuries...
The injuries stop him and make him one of the best in history... without the injuries should retired like the greatest player in football history. Fact
Jay i love your reaction when you got angry for coaches whom let players come back too quickly after injuries!!!! 🙂
" He is crazzzy" - I love it too 😍
A curiosity for you all: the haircut R9 made on 3:06 was to 2002 world cup finals, his haircut was inspired by a brazilian cartoon character called ''Cascão'' from Turma da Monica, i recommend you to search, R9 is a legend to all brazilians. :)
The GOAT 🐐... theres not even a debate.
Loved your comparison from R9 with Jordan. He was Messi and Cristiano in one player before his devastating knee injuries and sub-par rehabs. I still think he was the best forward ever.
React to top freekick in football

Thank you bro u read this so perfect for someone who didn’t know much about this man, he loved the game so much
R9 is the real Goat for me
That girl is freaking gorgeous
Fun fact: Ronaldo's son said that he can't tell the difference between His dad and R.Carlos
So R9 got that crazy haircut lol.
btw jose mourinho's quote was AFTER he saw messi and cristiano
Great reaction! You should watch highlights as well, his dribbling and finishing was crazy!
If anyone watch the dribbling of Robinho, Romário, Ronaldinho, Neymar and Ronaldo... oooh man, I assure will get crazy ! DO NOT WATCH THEM at the same time ! This Brazilian stars were INSANES ! Robinho and Neymar's skills make me... LOL.
I like these types of video. Great video!
I grew up in Brazil and this guy is ridiculous!!! I'm 50 and saw tons of Brazilian legends. He's the BEST legend bc he overcame major physical adversity and still DESTROYED clubs... just sayin'
R9 was called the nightmare of goal keepers, it was said that if he had ball near D-box, you should be prepared to concede a goal...that's how good he truly was, O Fenômeno...

You must react it.. ❤⚽
wayne rooney was 16 when he made his professional debut , didnt score five goals , but was still schooling full grown men on the field :)
I had the honor of seeing this legend up close, playing for my heart team Corinthians, I will never forget the matches in which I saw him very close to the stadium, even overweight, and carrying several injuries in his career, yet it was the phenomenon! retired as a national and international idol of the sport, and to this day he takes the name of Corinthians wherever he goes, always valuing the seasons he spent there, and the support he had at a time when no one else believed it was possible to continue in the sport. today he has at the club a training center field named after him, an athlete recovery center also named after him, and a futsal court set up outside our arena named after him, where fans can have fun playing futsal between games.
This channel also has interesting similar videos about Yashin, Van Basten, Zidane, Ronaldinho
As a kid we all were lucky to watch him play, he made our childhood a true wonderland.
FIFA world best player at the age of early 20 when football was football, there was so many good players, it was tough.
Our hero, loved by countless kids and adults.
Ronaldo, at his peak, was literally as skilled as Messi and as strong as Cristiano
Had he not had so many injuries there is no doubt in my mind that R9 would have been the greatest ever.
El mejor jugador de la historia del futbol

Ronaldo il Fenomeno in cima all' Olimpo del Calcio!!
Sofia said it right, he’s like MJ.
The difference is that Ronaldo didn’t want to make any body-training, which is the reason why of all the injuries.
In my opinion, R9 is the only one able to be in the hall of Gods together with Maradona, Pelè and Puskas.
And Messi
@@diwashkarki6591 I’m not sure about him. For sure better than CR7 and the best of his generation, but his generation is way different than the previous ones. More attention to tactics and physical training than talent. Besides, those I quoted made their national teams achive big results.
@@andremar6586 Hahahahahah, talent? Messi is the Best for sure. U didnt even saw that players
@@gracasantos1921 It’s easier to be the most talented if you’re alone in a desert.
Growing up back home playing football when Ronaldo did that iconic haircut the next day every kid cut their hair like that
Hard to say how R9 ranks among the all time greats. Attacking players are always given disproportionate attention which makes it even trickier. He would be in the top 3 forward after R7 and Messi had it not been for his medical and injury issues. At least if we confine the time frame to the 90s and onward. Players like Zidane are just as good but its hard to compare players of vastly different positions.
Someone should just make a movie about his life, R9 is the GOAT.
R9 is the best, and during his time we had abundance of some of the best defenders in the world like Thuram, Nesta, Maldini, Canavaro, Hiero, Desailly, Blanc etc yet R9 conquered them all. Those defenders will easily fit into any team in today's football.
