The scariest thing is that he wasn’t even at his best at this point. He had clearly put weight on after his injury and was much slower, yet he was still unbelievable on the ball and could finish anything
vipul jain Actually he had career threatening injuries in 1999 and 2000 and definitely wasn't in shape for the 2002 world cup. He even said himself that he felt a lot of pain after his first WC match of 2002. And yet, he went on and won the whole damn thing...
czcams.com/video/ZN99b8SJYI8/video.html watch his documentary, his patellar exploded. It would be impossible back then to come back from such an injury
Depends on what you want to use as the merits for a good striker. Prime R9 was unstoppable but overall his career wasn’t as good as some of the other great strikers.
@@Jearbearjenkins It really is a question of criteria. I think it is what makes football discussions always interesting and difficult to settle. Many perspectives and factors, and everyone prioritizes those factors differently
@@reinaldomanuel8488 oh But so yeah, MESSI then. From losing 3 Finals in a Row to 'Retirement' and then winning Copa, Finnallisima and World Cup within 1.5 years
To be honest: It was shit. The Referees... They did everything to get South Korea through the tournament. The only positive aspects: This Brazilian Team (Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho - the best you could imagine at that time^^) and Oliver Kahn.
HollyWood Aliu Why? I think 98's was way better, I think the best of modern football. The best Dutch team since Cruyff (should have won imo), a powerful chille, powerful croatia ( Suker, Boban etc) , a very decent Mexico and nigeria and overall very beautiful and competitive games. The positive from 2002 was the unstoppable 3R (Rivaldo,Ronaldo,Ronaldinho) attack of brazil and of course the comeback of the very legend Ronaldo
Literally recovered from an injury that surgeons, doctors and pundits said he would never play football again. What does he do? Recovers, jumps in the national team at the last minute and plays at the highest level of football. Greatest!
even with a serious knee injury that could damage any football player's career,ronaldo still comeback and win a world cup for his nation,the real ronaldo,el phenomeno
I can not hold my tear.......When I first time saw this video while I was still in the school,10 years ago maybe. Today again I saw this video.,.that feeling can not say.....That video,that music,yes....My memories
In 3:08 CR would have stayed there laying on the ground, complaying to the referee. But not Ronaldo. He stood up chased the ball, stole it from the German player, passed it to Rivaldo then followed the shot, and scored! That's how you attack kids, you give it all.
2002 first time i watched football WC final. Because of this legend ronaldo..he was the only reason i started waching football..but that time i did'nt know about his injuries.even so i think he was the best.after knowing that then i know he definitely is a legend.."phenomenon"💪
i.e.m. I hope he didn’t mean anything related to Great value ronaldo, commonly referred to as “CR7” who recently got absolutely, ridiculously destroyed by cavani in the world cup.
Free Brazilian running finds a pass to reward the passer and himself good signs up forward that Portugal fellow seems all about him less sense of team,,,,,,,,
Used to be his crazy fan. He’s considered by many great footballers as the best striker ever. Though massive injuries held him back, otherwise we would have seen a much more powerful number 9
Except the match against england, this guy brought a world cup to Brazil. I can imagine the other brazilian players thinking: "omg, i'm gonna win this cup just because this guy decides every match."
Hudson Geovane Rivaldo's contribution was also huge and perhaps even greater. But I was extremely happy that the legend Ronaldo came back after 2nd severe injury, scored 8 goals in the WLC and reminded to the world who is boss. Along with Pele the best ever!
And to think that he wasn't even at full power, those injuries from 1999-2002 really hurt his prime years. And still, this dude was better than the rest...never seen anything like that.
By seeing Ronaldinho at the bench, you know that 2002 Brazil team was legendary. Accurate short and long passes example 1:15 Striker receive and shot on 1-2 seconds 2:23 and 1:23 All team are speed snd skilled even striker defend 3:10 Position always right One of all time best team if we include Brazil 94
Only reason I started watching football, only reason I stopped watching football after he exited world cup after 2006. For me he still is/was the best player to ever grace the pitch.
Pra mim a Melhor Copa do mundo até hoje inesquecível quanta qualidade individual dos jogadores tudo perfeito nesta Copa de 2002. Deus abençoe o Povo Brasileiro!!!
I remember in the group game ronaldinho took a penalty against china and in another game rivaldo took a penalty, ronaldo was on the pitch to and if he had taken them he would have scored more...what a player, he hardly played a game in 2 years for inter and played like this at the world cup.
World footballer expert said he always at the right time, he know when to just strike, to take two step, or more to make a goal n to be there. Thats made him as a star and a team player. Missed all the brasil moment in 2002 world cup. From thier 1st game in this world cup2002, I can trust and felt that brasil definitely will win the title. this is the best team ever had for brasil. when 1998, they failed in final, Im crying bro (hahaha, what a emotion feeling), after the 90mnts game done, they lose 3-0! even they played a beautiful game at that time, france goes to their third goals when brasil striked thier best, leave thier defends open! Denilson brasil was the expensive player that time in the 1998 goes really crazy to made a goal. Saddest moment ever in 1998. And, I hope for ronaldo n brasil to come back in 2002... they come back with 3R, n even more they are among the team which have come with many of stars, infamous players & legends to be! I cried when ronaldo made a second goal in final and broke the wcup record for 8 goals. I waiting for 4yrs.. I knew ronaldo before his knees injuries. he really have a will and world best football skills, thats made him to be a legendary football player. 2002 is the best world cup ever, all legends n stars at that time not just from brasil, but also from eng, argentina, much of the team come with thier best stars.. really the best moments. hoping so much, world will have a pack of stars again like 1994-2004, really full with charismatic, unics world player in the fields.
the phenomenon...greatest striker with a huge body to shield the ball, far much better than today's players who are thin and fall off easily when charged..
+RM But then you could say if England had held on to their lead and Ronaldinho wouldn't have scored from that fluky cross then maybe Ronaldo wouldn't have had the chance to score the 3 goals he got in the last 2 games after the quarters. I think he'd prefer 8 and the trophy instead of 10 and no trophy or actually it would only be 7 including 2 penalties and elimination in the quarters.
RM lol yes plus the 3 near misses he had in the final against Germany lol this guy was such a beast and could have do e so much more,still the greatest ever for me

the greatest and most complete striker u will ever see
Sean Williams too true..
Pele was better than him
100% agree!
Not complete tho... the best maybe.
@Kacper Lasota but he had everything (in his prime)
Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Cafù, Lucio,,, One of the best teams ever

can’t believe it’s been 20 years! and even after 20 years, looking at his victory grin still gv me that spark of joy
There is no better name to shout than Ronaldoooooo 😎

R Mackenna thanks for corrections. Grammar is important too, although I am Greek and trying hard with English
Ronaldo coming back and winning the World Cup in 2002 is one of the best things ever
This was the real brazil team. We badly miss Ronaldo 😢
the greatest striker ever .. unstoppable one on one with speed, strength and superb dribbling skills and shot making ability even from far distance.
Literally recovered from an injury that surgeons, doctors and pundits said he would never play football again. What does he do? Recovers, jumps in the national team at the last minute and plays at the highest level of football. Greatest!
Astonishing comeback after being out for so long. A shame that he was never quite the same after those cursed injuries.
Even at 90% he looked quite sensational
Power, speed, skill are all still there
even with a serious knee injury that could damage any football player's career,ronaldo still comeback and win a world cup for his nation,the real ronaldo,el phenomeno
Injuries carved his career 80% and still considered the striker who brought new dimensions to the game... The phenomenon!

Ronaldo's classic celebration at 3:20. The best celebration ever. I call it the 'one more for the fans' celebration.
It more like an "I told you I would come back!"
Coming off 2 years without playing soccer, after knee injury R9 does this.... #GREATNESS
Simply amazing..
The greatest footballer of all time.
-De Lima.
Cafu providing so many assists. Greatest right back ever.
Oh man..i was 8 back then and i remember watching Ronaldo and trying to copy his style while playing with friends outdoors.The legend!

By seeing Ronaldinho at the bench, you know that 2002 Brazil team was legendary.
Accurate short and long passes example 1:15
Striker receive and shot on 1-2 seconds 2:23 and 1:23
All team are speed snd skilled even striker defend 3:10
Position always right
One of all time best team if we include Brazil 94
El mejor equipo que e visto en toda mi vida para mí eran insuperables un equipo increible, saludos desde colombia
This man is one of the reasons I started loving football. And I had the pleasure to see him ending his career at my beloved CORINTHIANS!!!
1998 i cried when he lost to France , 2002 i cried and celebrated , 2006 I cried again and My hate for Zidane grew . 2020 Still miss R9
real hero .... legend..... great player
first goal Rivaldo wonderful pass
That music. World Cup 2002 was something man...
Best golden boot winner of my life so far 🇧🇷
Nobody can deny Messi and CR7's greatness but they are not even close to being as iconic as this man.
Messi and CR7 not winning a world cup is a big void on their accomplishments .. R9NALDO and MARADONNA .. are a step above them until either win one.
The best 9 ever
Golden boy,i will never forget you,you were the best,thank you RONALDO LUIS NAZARIO DE LIMA.
