yes he played with Messi for a little while as his mentor. the clip at the end is Ronaldinho assisting Messi's first ever goal with Barca .

I had an honor to sit and watch him play against Real Madrid in Madrid, been on this rock for 30 summers, he is the greatest players my eyes have seen. CR&M 0 disrespect towards them and old legends like R9, Zizu, Maradona, Pele, Romario and list goes but nobody can do things this man could with his eyes closed and hands tied behind his back.

[@FactsWithActs]

@@ggleonel5173 respectfully, your brain is non existent

[@Unit27]

The crazy thing about Ronaldinho is that he didn't just show off. He knew how to use all his crazy arsenal of moves to create offensive options. Teams could send 3 guys to be permanently on him whenever he got the ball, and he still had ways to get past them or create scoring options for himself or his teammates. I remember seeing everyone trying to learn how to control the ball like he did back when he was active. He really was a game changing player. It was like he understood the weight and mechanics of the ball to a whole new level.

[@guittadabe5214]

Ronaldinho is one of the most beloved superstars ever. He played with such joy that he brought millions of people into its fandom, and even his opponents loved him and respected him. He did things on the field that got even the fans of the opposing team applauding! Like you would see when Michael Jordan would do something incredible. His smile is similar to Magic Johnson's smile. No wonder as they are both entertainers. His technical contribution to the game is immense as you could see techniques he created be utilized by superstars that came after him (including Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic). Messi is a different animal. Nobody's like him.

[@kanyekubrick5391]

Free kicks are very hard to score because the goalie usually has a long time to react. Not to mention they require accuracy . With that said, it’s become more common these days and Ronaldinho is one of the pioneers of the modern techniques

[@vinadkc]

Also the defending team can set up a number of players, i think the quantity depends on the distance, to help him cover the Goal.

[@rafidog]

Ronaldinho explained that his trademark move of lobbing the ball over opponents head and the "elastico" where he flips the ball from one side of his foot to the other, came from him juggling in his home over the chairs and practicing against his dog "Bombom" who was apparently a tireless defender and only matched by very few players in Europe.

[@gandalf_thegrey]

Breaking news: Manchester United signs "Bombom" as central defender. Ten Hag: "It was time for Harry to go and be replaced by someone with more than a single season of good performances!"

[@TaterFriez]

my dog is the best defender I've faced. not surprised Ronaldinho developed such a knack for going vertical to get away. Tenacious pups.

[@Hi-fm1xg]

Ronaldinho is definitely in the goat conversation. His prime was way too short, 'cause of his lacking discipline. But he won everything there is in a short time. No trophy missing, and even Ronaldo Phenomeno, Ronaldo and Messi and I think Maradona had like one trophy they never won. And I think Ronaldinho was the most talented ever.

[@mattvideoeditor]

Yes Ronaldinho has every trophy, from World Cup to national championships in Spain, France, Italy and Brazil... Plus Champions League, Libertadores de America, Confederations Cup, etc. Several prizes, Golden Ball in 2005, the list goes on and on. Not even Pele and Maradona were able to collect the whole gallery. He stopped a civil war in Haiti because the people wanted to watch him playing. He was applauded by arch-rival fans from Real Madrid during a match against Barcelona. So, yeah. One can claim he is the GOAT.

[@lordskysixss]

Actually, there was only 1 thing Ronaldinho didn't get. A olympic gold medal, but that's ok.

[@mattvideoeditor]

​@@lordskysixss true, but that tournament is for juneviles, not the main adult team. Kudos for Messi for grabbing that one tho.

[@gandalf_thegrey]

@@mattvideoeditor Im sorry, Ronny is one of the greatest football players of all time, but to be considered the GOAT, you need to have more than 4-5 seasons of prime football. Longevity is just as important as your inital skill level.

[@Mr.v]

@@gandalf_thegrey to be considered the goat, you just have to be better than anyone else. it's that simple. it doesn't matter if you last 5 seasons or 15 seasons. ronaldinho was the best by far in the era of probably the best defenders in history. longetivity is important, but only when the skill gap between the contenders for the goat title is small. but with ronaldinho, that matters very little. he was levels above the best of the best. no comparison. the only player who is close to him is messi. here is where longetivity becomes important. the skill gap is tiny. messi is maybe one level under ronaldinho, but the amount of titles and records he has are greater than ronaldinho's. that's why i like to say: messi is the greatest ever, but ronaldinho is the best ever.

[@tsv1376]

He is the most loved football player. He played always for the beauty of football, with a smile on his face...

[@acmilankid1091]

You should react to Ronaldo el fenomeno. In his prime he made defenders and the goalkeepers scared literally would pass the defense and goalkeeper. R9 is considered as one of the goats as well he was a joy to watch but sadly he had so many injuries that held him back. But I totally recommend you to react to him.

[@TehStormOG]

he also might appreciate r9 because I think r9 is one of the few world class footballers that could've played in the nfl if he was american, he was basically the brazilian bo jackson

[@caralho5237]

@@TehStormOG he wasn't strong enough for the NFL, but unbelievably agile, quick and precise on his decisions and strong enough to give defenders a run for their money

talking about this, theres a video called "Exactly How Good Was Ronaldo Nazario?", by Raymar football, thats a really good one to see

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

@@caralho5237 could definitely be a wide receiver. He was ridiculously strong and quick.

[@Khaleel587]

Watching the games would help for sure. Part of understanding and reacting is understand what the status quo is. It’s hard to understand what’s good when you’re starting from the very best and that’s it haha It’s also hard with edits like this that are super choppy, I personally like when they aren’t as choppy and you can see what comes from whatever happened

[@marcosdheleno]

either that, or try playing it. you cant really explain how hard something is to do, until you go out and try it for yourself.

[@gandalf_thegrey]

The thing about those edits is that they *always and without" fail use "cinematic" camerashots, that look good for a replay, but make it almost impossible to appreciate or even see, what the players are actually doing. They massively screw with the perception of speed and direction changes. Some of those clips look like he just runs straight while doing funny stuff with his legs instead of constantly moving, changeing direction, slowing down or speeding up etc. Additionally add often high rmp music and op really trying harding to hit the tact and you have a video that only makes fun when you already now the situations it shows. Drones (or moving cameras in general) can be useful in filming sports, but in 9/10 situations is results in the direct opposite of what you want to do: Actually show the sport.

[@slaize1337]

Ronaldinho's technique was so good that most other professional players would embarrass themselves trying to do the things that Ronaldinho did frequently in his games. Best wishes from Munich, Germany!

[@leptonparticle238]

He has some great achievments but his prime was very short due to him liking to party a lot and getting out of shape, but still at his prime he was the best and the most spectacular player to watch.

[@duckers5120]

Some would say he was here for a good time, not a long time 😂

[@dariogutierrez6716]

I actually respect your perspective. Its refreshing to see non football fans interested in the tactical aspect rather than the spectacle. I hope you get to learn a bit. I'd recommend TIFO as channel to look into here in KZbin. If you become invested in the stories, maybe later Copa90 can be an option.

[@r.h.f.6073]

definitely one of the GOATs, he's probably the most skilled dribbler to have won as much as he did while playing at the highest level.

[@given0077]

Ronaldinho single handedly brought multiple generations to watch futbol. Brought a new magic to the sport that influenced the biggest players today. Messi and Ronaldo have had incredible longevity, Ronaldinho was like a spark but was enough to light up the passion for futbol in many of us.

[@theomusico6634]

I love football because of this man the smile on his face. And when he was done Messi kept the magic running through the world of football.

[@alevaldebenito9023]

Man prime Ronaldinho is the reason i fell in love with football. I woke every weekend early just to see him play, see what trick he took off his sleeve every match was amazing and so exciting

[@ricardofont4395]

Free kicks are really hard to score. They require insane precision and enough power to prevent the goalkeepers from getting to the ball, so the fact that there are players that score them consistently like him is crazy

[@diluca1491]

These are clips of him making the greatest players of a generation look like 10 year olds, R10 was a magician and his prime is probably the closest a player has ever been to perfection. I would love to see you react to Ronaldinho again when you understand the game a little better, it must be hard to understand how magnificent this guy was at breaking the mold when you don't really understand how the game is usually played.

[@nicolasantonio4134]

R10 simplesmente o mais habilidoso da história do futebol!🇧🇷

[@unbamyotrobam]

I can't help but to respect what you said about watching the actual game instead of just random impressive skills, I recommend watching the world cup matches and understand football as it is, that's what makes these players great after all

[@nutsandcams]

You will find many futbol players that do good foot work but nothing is achieved. To me one way to appreciate the way they play (dribbling, magic) is by the accomplishments in the career and Ronaldinho's achievement are impressive. Yes, Free kicks are hard to score He played with Messi in Barcelona. First Messi's goal with Barcelona was Ronaldinho's ball pass.

[@benhicks9481]

That era from 2002-2006 when Ronaldinho and Henry were just showcasing skills every match pretty much, just balling. Made it so fun to watch both of them

[@arturog.faustoberumen7336]

Depends what you define as "one of the GOATs." He's certainly one of the most creative, fun players ever, and he's extremely accomplished -- won multiple La Ligas, won the Champions League, won a World Cup (albeit as Brazil's 3rd or 4th best player in 2002). Between 2004 and 2006, he was clearly the best player on earth, but he just didn't have the sustained brilliance over time that guys like Pele, Maradona, Messi, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Zidane and even both Ronaldos (Brazilian "Fenomeno" and Cristiano) had. I rate Ronaldinho somewhere between 15th and 25th best all-time. An all-time great for sure, but nowhere near the GOAT conversation.

[@Mark-th9vq]

I think most people would consider him as top 10.

[@arturog.faustoberumen7336]

@@Mark-th9vq I really don't think so... was his whole career better than Pele, Maradona, Messi, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Zidane, Ronaldo (R9), Platini, Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Stefano, Gerd Muller, Garrincha, Eusebio, Romario, Best, Van Basten, Puskas, Charlton, Buffon, Maldini...? You get the point. He could only be considered top 10 ever if you have no concept for the game before like... 2000. Ronaldinho was excellent but it'd be hard to even make an argument for his career as top 15 overall.

[@cmjp2008]

In his prime he was by far the best fútbol player on earth. GOAT? One of them for sure if you saw him playing

[@Mark-th9vq]

@@arturog.faustoberumen7336 With all the people u just mentioned, he certainly is in there as well, so then people still have their own opinion wether they think he belongs in the top 10, for me he does.

Ronaldinho is perhaps one of the greatest and respected soccer players in the world. In his prime he was with FC Barcelona in Spain. Won numerous championships. He then went to play on Italy and some time in Brazil if my memory serves me right. He finally went on to play in Mexico the team was called queretaro. Even after his prime, he still demolished the young generation. He was messi's mentor when he started his career alongside with him. A true soccer legend.

[@marmarmar13]

Great reaction! To get an idea of the impossible things he's doing with the ball, just go outside with any type of ball and try to replicate. Impossible.

[@LordCartanya]

I've been following football sice i was i kid and im a Barça fan and i never seen anything like Ronaldinho again, he was magical and pure skill

[@Retrostar619]

His 'dancing around' was a series of moves used to keep possession, beat players 1v1 and open up scoring/passing opportunities. It was style and substance. He's won 🏆 galore. He did it all with a smile too, and even opposition fans loved him. That's quite something!

[@CrazyhorseDK]

Ronaldinho is considered the most skilled player in history by many . conquered many important titles in its peak that unfortunately lasted only a short time. He does not have a career like that of Cristiano and Messi. But at its peak it was the best the world saw with the ball at its feet. his charismatic and Brazilian way enchanted the world. Because Brazil is considered the country of football. It inspired players, it won everything a player can win. made history in the selection where he won a World Cup (most important football championship). He's a legend. The Magic Maker a brazillian dance style player with insane skill Assisted mentored Messi and passed on the torch one of just eight players to have won the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA Champions League and the Ballon d'Or only player ever to have won a World Cup, a Copa América, a Confederations Cup, a Champions League, a Copa Libertadores and a Ballon d'Or Ronaldinho is the only player on Earth to hold all the possible major titles: World Cup, Champions League, Copa Libertadores, Confederations Cup, America's Cup, Spanish League, Brazilian League, Italian League, French League... The guy has more titles than Pele and Maradona combined. Messi and Ronaldo can only dream to clean his shoes.

[@seba01374]

the thing about ronaldinho is that he did a lot of crazy things that you wouldn't see regularly in the sport, and at a point as a watcher you question if he even is competing or truly just playing football with other dudes. the way he played was called jogo bonito, and nowdays is not something that you can see easily.

[@tspmcfarlane]

Well done on spotting the ‘no look pass’ where he faked the direction by turning his head. It shows you really understand sports even if you’re new to football/soccer. Ronaldinho was one of my all-time favourites growing up.

[@VincentAbbe]

If you like about the best goals, you should react to all puskas award winner Puskas Award is literally an award for Best Goal Of The Year, not only from European League but also from all around the world There's also a lot things you can react to for first time rather than individual skills, for examples: - Unexpected Goal - Most powerful Shoot - Impossible Saves by Goalkeeper - Beautiful Pass / Assist - Most creative & smart play - Speed / Sprint / Fastest Footballer - Art of Defense - Most brutal foul / red cards - World Record in Football - etc

[@noocthys]

Whilst everyone around him has played, he danced and he danced most of his opponents to sleep. The greatest artist in the sport.

[@vladvale]

One sugestion: there is a video from FIFA about the Brazilian team of 1982. Arguably the best team of all times. That was football at its peak.

[@hollowmatic]

Fun fact; when Ronaldinho was winning awards for being the best player in the world, during an interview, he was asked how it felt to be the best player in the world. His response was (and I paraphrase); “it’s nice. To be thought of as the best.. but it’s funny to me, sometimes I laugh, because I’m not even the best player at Barcelona”. He was referring to a 16 year-old kid named Lionel Messi

[@leleotrx]

The thing with Ronaldinho is that he played for fun, you'll never see him super strong and conditioned as Ronaldo, for example. Even like this he's one of the best, x2 entitled the world's best football player.

[@qweryurty252]

Messi vs Physics is probably the best video just to show you the pure ability of Messi. The highlight reels are insane, and that's without including many of his nearly 700 goals.

[@Zerodess]

problem here is you don't listen to what he said, he doesn't know the game aswell as some of us do therefor all highlight reels are not what he needs to see now, he needs to see full games to get a better understanding of the game first

[@PLF...]

Peak Ronaldinho in the early 2000s was the most entertaining football has ever been to this date.

[@melantakwarrior8423]

I really respected you for saying how difficult it is to play football compared to other sport. People think it's easy to play football because they see professional players do it easily. But try playing it for real and I kid you not, you can't even do 10% of what the pros are doing. A lot of skills needed to become a good football player. I'm telling this because I've played a lot of sports since I was little and I can say most sports are easy to master because you only need certain skill sets but with football, there's a lot of skills that you need to have to be able to play a decent game. Passing, shooting, running, defense, spatial awareness, ball control, weak foot mastery, dribbling, physical prowess, heading accuracy and many more. Of all the sports that I've played, football is by far the most difficult to master imo.

[@cameronyoung853]

Speaking from personal opinion, at 23, Ronaldinho was the reason I fell in love with football. As for Ronaldinho, he had a few good seasons but unfortunately partying and drinking led him to a quick decline

[@nailer10]

[@jg285]

I'd love a video where you react to more tactical videos or videos about the game itself. Love the football video's, I just subscribed :)

[@Gadeberg90]

For me he was the best football player ever, for sure most entertaining. He had a very short prime, but consider that he was this great without really training cause he wanted to party instead. And he made people love football. For a while he made me like Barcelona which I normally don't. (Don't like Madrid either). He wasn't a stat merchant like a lot of other players and his primary goal was to have fun and entertain.

[@MrJagger112]

The thing I loved about Ronaldinho was that he always played the game for fun and with a joy that was shown across his face and whole game. A constant smile on his face and never any disciplinary issues worth mentioning. Great player! Edit: The pushing and shoving with your hands is very common and is normally allowed as long as it's not done violently or hitting someone in the head or face. And finally; Yes, Ronaldinho is widely recognized as one the greatest of all time.

[@agraulosgaming3662]

To even hold the ball like 5 second is really amazing.Imagine your teammate pass the ball to your feet and theres 1-3 person put pressure on you. The midfield/ striker need balance, vision (know what teammate movement, and strategize next move to score goal) Touch of the ball, pace, body strength, balance, agility, fast decision making, and of course technique execution, accuracy is needed to be a good striker/midfielder. That is why it is really rare in football to see one person beat 1-3 person, and then score goals on their own. Many people see Ronaldinho, Neymar as amazing footballer (being able to get through 1-4 defender) But, Lionel Messi is just out of this world. He is different. can beat all defenders while humiliating them from midfield. He even can get past goalkeeper. All of them without using tricks like ronaldinho. His signature move, using body movement (feint), anticipate enemy while accelerate with pure dribbling touch and agility and be able to score beautiful goal. Not only that, he is not a striker (the role which focus on solely score goal) but his role is attacking midfielder which orchestrated the game. His position is on wide area and in the middle of the pitch, not the front. That is why messi is scary. If defender mark him, his vision and passing accuracy is deadly, while if they leave him, he could pass the defender easily (Really, really rare talent in history of football). He breaks record with the most Ballon d'or, 7 (best player in the world) with cristiano ronaldo in the second place. That is why he is considered to be the GOAT.

[@aziizali4014]

About the hand, you can’t grab and pull someone. And you can only push with your shoulder. When you play football that’s when you can appreciate the difficulty and skill involved in what he is doing.

[@rachidbenyedder8996]

I love the fact that you show a lot of retenue before formulating an opinion/critic coz you are not so confident about your knowledge or how to truly appreciate what u watch. I’ve seen other channels where after 2/3 videos the guy has already a favorite player without even knowing why. Football is truly complex and requiers a LOT to even begin understanding what’s going on, even if doesn’t seem the case at first glance. U could do a 30min video analysing each one of the skills, Ronaldinho has a formidable vision and playing IQ. Keep up the good work dude your channel will grow fast 👍🏼

[@georgesr8979]

Yes a nutmeg is when you pass the ball through their legs, it’s considered a humiliation in football

[@619Slipk]

Considering you like seeing the goals a lot more than the tricks and you said you're preparing to see your first world cup, you could perhaps have a look at previous' world cups goal compilations. Pretty easy to find "Every goal in (insert year here) world cup" videos. My favorite is probably the 2006 World cup, but I think it would be more productive for you to start with the most recent one (2018), cause most of those players will also be in this year's tournament, so you already get familiarized with a few of them

[@HiDragLowSpeed]

Ronaldinho in my opinion is the greatest showman to ever grace football. He just does what he does without really ''disrespecting'' people while literally disrespecting people and exposing their inability to stop him. Although he played in an era where there are little cry babies not like todays players who literally get mad when a player does the things he does.

[@lucaslongo5501]

He played mostly as mid field player, he ia basically the Guy who sets UP the plays so the Striker could score, but ocasionally he would blaze trhough the defence due to his incredible dribbling skills

[@novasideias531]

"He was not fun to watch as Messi", Son, he is Messi's teacher, this footage is from when Messi was starting as a professional in the same team (Barcelona), Messi himself talks about how Ronaldinho is his inspiration. R10 = GOAT

[@Reisr]

ronaldinho was a midfielder, his role was not to score goals but to create plays that lead to the goal, with a pass or even dribbling markers forcing them to tighten the marking on him and thus creating spaces in the defense, combined with his absurd passing precision he it was rather a GOAT in that position.

[@Anarkey]

Most players underestimate Ronaldinho because he's a flair player and always seem to not be serious. They think he's not strong or fast but he's actually fast, good upper body strength and has a really low center of gravity. One of the very few players from Barcelona to gain respect from Real Madrid fans. You need to check out Ronaldinho for Barcelona vs Real Madrid or better known as El Clasico. It's one of the biggest matches in Europe, if not the world due to how much hate they have for each other. It's even translated into politics. To be able to gain a standing ovation from the fans of a rival who hates you to the core means you've gained their respect and it's something special. This guy had a big influence on Messi when he was breaking into Barcelona's first team. In fact, the all conquering Barcelona team started with Ronaldinho. He had a very big influence on the rising stars of Barcelona like Xavi, Iniesta & Messi. Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic complimented him and Zlatan doesn't compliment other players that much. That's why I always have Ronaldinho as one of my favorite, even above Messi & Cristiano Ronaldo.

[@coolbreeze4249]

Ronaldinho was basically the Allen Iverson of football. insane flare/flavor, impeccable handles etc

[@Xi4V]

if you like watching nice passes and teamwork you can react to Barcelona's tiki taka, this is incredible

[@marcosdheleno]

im gonna be honest, i feel like tiki taka was one of those 1 trick wonders that are no longer usefull. dont get me wrong, they won spain their latest world cup, which is insane in itself... but now, it became more of a detrimental style than anything. proof of that is how mediocre spain has been since then.

[@psychologie4510]

you kinda have to get behind the fact, that these people are professional football players - every defender is aware of the fact that people can dribble, nutmeg, fake, etc. and football evolved in a way that it is out of the ordinary that one player actually "outplays" the defender - it is more like strategic passing and using spaces as a team, simply because you would get stopped if you "solo". Ronaldinho is the kind of player that just CAN outplay. His fluidity, passing, dribbling is just absolutely out of the ordinary. If you ever played against a player of that caliber you realize that it feels like the ball behaves differently in their possession, even if you stop him/ touch the ball/ block, the ball still comes back to his feet and he passes you. its absolutely incredible. :D

He was still beloved by pretty much everyone because he just exudes joy and talent

As a recomendation maybe you should look for some goalkeeper highlights (golero or portero in spanish) so you can also enjoy that side of the game "he looks like he likes to have fun" yeah, thats ronaldinho, he just have funs I also have an off the bat recomendation if you want to see some violence i recommend a video called "Paolo Montero - Faltas, Patadas y Expulsiones" wich translates to "paolo montero (a player), fouls kicks and expulsions"

[@eldarion933]

at 4:30 you see the real madrid crowd stand up and clap for ronaldinho because he was absolutely playing insane that game at real madrids stadium. Epic moment

[@phoenixjmp]

Yes one of the GOATS!

[@Unit27]

Being a good free kick taker is really hard. When it's from a good scoring position, what the defending team usually does is set up a wall in front of the taker on the side the keeper isn't covering. So, as the kick taker you see a wall of bodies on one side, the keeper on the other, and what you need to do is either hit it with perfect force and spin for the ball to go over the wall and curve back down into the furthest corner from the keeper, or find a hole in the wall where the ball can go through and the keeper won't have time to react. That's why, lately, you even see a player lie down behind the wall, so the wall players can jump without the kicker shooting the ball under them. Then you have all the complexity that comes with trick plays, there the kicker passes instead to another player to take the shot from a different position, usually trying to mess up the defense positioning. As a keeper it's also incredibly hard because you have to figure out that the kicker is doing when you can barely see the ball come off. If the ball goes to the wall side corner, you barely have time to get to it, but if you move too early and the kicker tries placing it somewhere else, you might end up in a bad position to stop it.

now i believe u need to react to The Art Of Defence

[@liamowen]

They used to say “he had elastic from his toe to the ball”. “The ball stuck to his foot like glue” was another.

[@kaelren4120]

he is one of the goat. ronaldinho and ronaldo (ronaldo 9, the Brazilian) were the greatest at their era.

[@ankitysabha2577]

Ronaldinho is a footballer with 0 haters in the world ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

[@patrickechers]

You say you are more interested in the entire matches. That is the same for me too. I understand what goes into the small highlight bits, but often it's the entire build-up to a goal, or even a great save, awesome defending, how they think about and plan substitutions that makes the entire game interesting. The entire dynamic on the team etc.

[@Guestownedu]

In terms of natural ability Ronaldinho and Ronaldo Nazario are the greatest players ever, so yes, he's one of the GOATs for sure. Theres many people who consider him the greatest ever because nobody else in history was able to be effective with a playstyle purely meant to entertain. He's also the only player to win the 4 major football trophies (World Cup, Champions League, Copa Libertadores, Euros/Copa America). He was the best player in the hardest era of football history playing a style of football which hasn't ever been effective. It's unheard of, I'd put him in my top 3 personally.

[@JaimeRodriguezJurado]

You should probably start watching the Seattle Sounders and Raul Ruidiaz in the MLS.

[@minamansour3225]

You should react to best defense scenarios in football or best goalkeeper saves.

[@geizig577]

Biggest Talent ever

[@Zerodess]

you are right you should watch full games, maybe even competitions to appreciate these kind of "best of" videos. Once you understand the game better these videos will blow your mind even more I promise 🙂

[@agomezt]

It can be said that Ronaldinho was Messi's teacher, when Messi started to play in the first team of Barcelona Ronaldinho was already a legend, they shared almost 3 years and a half of matches, Ronaldinho used the "10" and this passed to Messi when Ronaldhino left Barcelona. In our country we have a saying, "la lleva atada al pie", in english "he takes it tied to his foot", it means that the player is so good that the ball seems to be tied to his foot and that no opposing player can take it away. Ronaldinho was so great at Barcelona that in a match against their biggest rival, Real Madrid, he got the Real Madrid fans to applaud them.

[@ihatesnakeu.7238]

People all know how great he was but the fact that he played in the generation were every team at the highest level were full of monsters so him making it look this easy is crazy. For me he has the best control ive seen and it mainly comes from the fact that he played futsal (indoor football) growing up but not everyone who plays futsal is like him lets get that clear🤣. Millions of kids including me would binge watch his videos just to go outside and practice it for hours

[@stobe187]

As far as achievements go, this man here won everything there is to win.

[@erichirsch9268]

Ronaldinho won it all by the age of 25. All country, club, and individual awards.

[@niklasstormly2970]

he did win everything, club, nations and personal lvl. His peak was just shorter than other of the greatest.

[@LuizFernandopr]

You gotta understand that in this clips you saw him toying with other players like they were newbies, they were actually the top players in the world, multi millionaire professionals in the most competitive leagues in the planet plus world cups. for the "how does he do this?" that's why in brazil we call him "the wizzard".

[@tharealnose]

There is a channel called The Coaches' Voice that did 2 videos with Xavi (one of the best midfielders of all time and current Barcelona coach) called Masterclass. He explains his playing style and tactics, I think it could help you understand a bit more of the sport :)
