Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are very successful footballers, no question about it. But there was a man like Ronaldinho that is like no other. Children growing up in his time tried to play like him when they were playing with their friends, and they still try to do it whenever they play football. After that, the street culture was over, the Playstation culture began... But in that generation, Ronaldinho's love and admiration were not finished.
Ronaldinho started playing football on Brazil's Gremio team, wearing PSG, Barcelona, Milan, Flamengo, Atletico MG, Querétaro FC and Fluminense respectively. The brightest years of his career were in Barcelona. The Catalan team won the Champions League Cup, and the championship of La Liga twice. Again in his Barcelona years, he became the owner of Ballon d'Or, 'World Soccer Player of the Year' award twice. And many more. These were for those who wanted to see concrete things about Ronaldinho. For most footballers, these are nothing but a waste of time because nothing is enough to explain Ronaldinho!
That man is Pirlo by the way.
No one even thinks of making a hit from that point. Even if they do, only Ronaldinho can score with that technique.
He would also hit in such an unexpected moment. You'd still look.
By worse we don't mean he has lost anything from his skill, his talent. He is still the man with the best wisdom.
'I support x team but if Ronaldinho goes to y team I'd still buy his jersey'
'If he comes to our rival team and passes all 11 players of my team, I'd still get happy and watch him'
Because he was Ronaldinho...
