The only thing that, in my opinion, Rivaldo was way better than Zidane is that he TRULY loved to play. To play in your late 30's, early 40's...that's really hard.

[@michaelmetcalfe4882]

Congrats on the recent success. Well deserved. One thing though: I was under the impression that the issue with van Gaal was that he wanted Rivaldo to play wide but stay wide - he was big on structure and didn't like wingers drifting inside and possibly hurting the team's attacking width. Rivaldo himself wanted a more central attacking role - either as a drifting inside winger or as a number 10. I wasn't watching La Liga regularly at the time so, as with my comment on your other video, I'm willing to admit I might be wrong. But that was the impression I had.

[@clala1815]

Yes rivaldo asked to talk to the team and demanded that he play as a number 10 so van gaal said sure, but in the second team. Players like guardiola asked van gaal to let rivaldo play at number 10 as Barcelona stopped winning and scoring goals. This shows how important rivaldo was to Barcelona

Rivaldo was a coaches favorite lapdog. He was very proficient for the Brazil offense. Think about it, he played in Brazil's 2nd golden era with offensive players like Romario, Jardel, Edmundo, R9, R10, Tulio, Giovanni, Luizao and Bebeto. He had horrible management. He would of fit perfect in the EPL. It's a shame the CBF never gave him a farewell game.

this man is above being a LEGENDARY footballer an example of a human being. SALVE RIVALDO! O monstro!

THE WORLD HASN’T FORGOTTEN ABOUT RIVALDO WE CANT BE TALKING ABOUT HIM SINCE HES NOT PLAYING ANYMORE

We still talk about Ronaldinho R9 pele but they don’t play anymore and Rivaldo was elite like them

Great vid could you do a Paul Gascoigne or Ruud Gullit video

he dont do the step over like Ronaldo, he dont dribble like Kaka, he dont do much style like Neymar, but he's power shot & finishing was a superb level! his name is Rivaldo!

[@asgharkhan7489]

For me one of the best icons of Brazil among the best of them .

[@amaechix1802]

Prime Rivaldo carried Barcelona on his back. When they were done with him they dumped him like a sack of potatoes. He was awesome with his bowlegged left foot. Let’s not forget the 3Rs in 2002, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho.

wait, 10 miles to train???????!!!!! That is insane, holy hell, just for that he deserved everything that he got in his career and more

Makhaya Ntini used to run 10k every morning, even on match days...

[@educampo95]

@@Crasky1992 good for him, what I don't understand is what criquet has to do with this video or my coment

[@educampo95]

@@Crasky1992 also, 10 miles is more than 10 km and a football player runs 10km literally every match, so yeah, good job on that one

[@Crasky1992]

@@educampo95 Calm your tits. I'm simply pointing out that other sportsmen are known for these feats. 10 miles is more. I know that. I'm simply pointing out that Ntini used to run 10k daily, including match days. A footballer may run more in 90 minutes, but that's much easier than a grueling 5 day test match where he could bowl 40+ overs.

My favorite player. I met him in the airport on my way to the World Cup in 2014. Nice guy, a legendary player.

[@nelsonthekinger]

This is a portuguse narrator for sure eheheh I Love Rivaldo! He has class and is not a party animal I love lo listen him talk

[@giannistsoukatos4205]

To me he is the master that handed Ronaldo half his goals in a plate just to finish the play,while he made everything by himself when he had to and made the difference.Brazil from 1996-2003 was great because of him.If he wasn't there that great team would be like an orchestra without a conductor.And what a great conductor he was!!!He played at the twilight of his career for 1 year in my team AEK Athens in Greece.We still remember him and feel deeply honored that a legend of his caliber played for our team.We practically won the championship that year that was removed in courts by a disgusting decision that helped Olympiacos get the championship outside the football courts. He felt disgusted after that and left Greece. We will never forget him.He is the greatest player that ever played for our club.
