    It pains me that Ronaldo lives his life thinking football gave him more than what he gave football. The pace, the power, the stupid haircut, his imperfect teeth, his short but glistening career, the world cup performances, he's given everything. I watched him play when I was 6 randomly on the telly during the World Cup. Didn't know the sport, my family didn't watch football and I had no clue of football as a sport but I remember this memory so vividly, watching this player dance on the small TV screen my family had with me sitting right in front of it with my eyes glued to him. After the match ended I remember for a few days begging my dad to put on more football, conjuring the words and explanations out of thin air because I didn't have the vocabulary, I'd run about pretending to dribble like r9 with an invisible football just so my dad knew I was asking him to put on some football. And we he turned on the TV and Brazil wasn't playing and r9 wasn't playing, he couldn't work out why I was upset. Didn't know the scores, didn't know the players, I just loved the guy with the stupid haircut. I was only 6 at the time but those early memories of football have been with me my whole life and watching this documentary was almost like therapy, time travelling back to that moment to relive it. R9 is in the history books forever.

    I remember 2002 very well, he just came back from his 2nd knee injury. Missed an entire year of football. Came back just in time to help Inter but sadly lost the league on the final game of the season, sitting on the bench crying after being substituted. 2002 World Cup was his redemption from 5 years of pain. Not just an incredible footballer, but he deserves to be among the Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Roger Federer, Usain Bolt figures who define greatness

    I still remember the moment. 1997 - I'm a 5 year old boy sitting with his father in his garden and watching football. Some game of the Brazil national team. Then my father said: "look.. There's the best player in the world". That was the moment I became a fan of ronaldo. I watched every game of him throughout his career. Every team he played in was my favorite team. And today he still is my favorite player and to me the best striker in history. I remember in 2002 when my whole family cheered for Germany (we are Germans) and I was the only one going absolute crazy and cheering for Ronaldo's goals and everyone was kinda confused at my reaction 😂

Ronaldo before his injuries played a lot closer to the style of Messi--someone who made things happened outside of the box--much more than he did compared to a typical nine.

    There’s no one who was more dangerous and unstoppable on the ball than El Fenomeno. With a combination of speed, agility, dribbling, tricks and technique, he had so many ways to humiliate defenders. Stepovers, nutmegs, roulettes, body feints and fakes going in both directions, plus that crazy burst of acceleration to suddenly get away. He made everything look so effortless. He toyed with some of the greatest defenders ever in Maldini,Nesta and Cannavaro on their hardest tackles. They simply had no hope to prevent him. He broke the World Transfer Fee record three times. He won 3 World Player Awards before he turned 23. It was like you take a little bit of each legend and combine it to make R9. He had the speed of Henry, and the dribbling of Maradona and Messi. He possessed the flair Ronaldinho specialized and had the power of Cristiano. Ability wise, there’s only one Ronaldo, the greatest miracle on football’s biggest stage. Before his knee injury, he was the best player the world ever saw, and to this day, no one has surpassed that.

I cant remember any great defender in todays world...so its not about goal scoring my friend..because if we judge on scoring level only..so you thing cavani is better than zidane or maradona?Its about overall perfomance... I am not saying scoring is not important...but it is only one part of the game...so my friend do your research...in my eyes both messi and cr7 even they will score around 1000 goals but they are not as great as zidane or maradona or any other great legends...GROW UP...

    Ronaldo had this mystical hold over football. He won less at club level than Messi or the next Ronaldo, but his "aura" was unique. It may have had to do with the specific time period, the embryonic state of the Internet and the absence of social media, plus the ubiquitous and clever sponsorship (who can forget the Pirelli advertisment with Ronaldo-Jesus over Rio) but it was all very true. If anything, his injuries only strengthened his legend. His solitary season at Barcelona (96-97, won Cup Winners' Cup and Copa del Rey), his first season at Inter (97-98, won UEFA Cup) and first season at Real Madrid (02-03, won the league) were his best at club level. And the 2002 World Cup was beyond epic, a personal redemption so complete that not even Ronaldo himself could have dreamed (and it all felt so right).

    He's career may not live up to his talent but don't get me wrong, he still had one of the most extraordinary story. Its like if your going to make a movie about a football player, Ronaldo's story is the one to look up to. A promising talent at a young age, go to Europe and became the best player in the World, winning trophies and invidual honors. Then came the 98 World Cup, the perfect stage to become a legend. He didn't disappoint as he clearly performed to the highest level, helping his country to reach the Final. Then from that moment, he's career turned up side down. Poisoned, didn't performed well and eventually lose the final. Then two grueling injuries that made him sideline for almost two years. Then came back in WC 2002, Scoring a staggering 8 goals to exorcise his demons of 98'.... There's only one Ronaldo!

    Oh Ronaldo, so many memories rush into my head now. Where should I ever begin? From the moment I knew you in WC 98 or from the countless playstation matches I won playing with you. I still remember the year 2002 because of 2 incidents. Me and my dad watching the WC together, match by match. The oh, the rush and the pleasure we got from watching you. This same year, after you butchered every rival team and lifted the cup, my dad died. I now have 2 memories where love and joy, sadness and sorrow mix up. Thank you Ronaldo, thank you phenomenon.

    I actually met him personally when I was a Kid, he was playing for my home town team, Cruzeiro, and was fixing his car at a workshop near my school. I remember dozens of kids running to meet him, he was 16 or something, and a very humble guy. Back them I wasn't that much into football, even though I supported Cruzeiro, but after that I start to follow his career. Sadly he didn't stay long in Belo Horizonte. Ronaldo always received so much coverage from Brazilian media outlets, so every kid my age was able to follow his career with easy, and could feel a little bit of desperation with all the injuries. In 2002 I was 17 y/o, and the whole WC was a special moment for me. The WC Finals happened to be the same day I made out with my first love, for the first time. Nowadays Ronaldo became a sort of a shade figure, involved in politics and questionable business, I usually disagree with his political points of views, but I do everything in my power to detach the Man he is today from the Player he used to be. As a player he was, and still is, my hero!

    My love for football started with Mr Luis Nazario Da Lima Ronaldo. The greatest ever striker of all times, if not the best player. In 1998, i was 10 years old, I remember crying in my bedroom and praying to God that Brazil losing to France was a nightmare. Was so heartbroken not seeing play for few years and then in 2002, bingo!!! History. Even though he came back and won, he didn’t have the same pace, power and explosiveness. He was more a clinical scorer. And then he signed for my dream club, Madrid! Oh my God, the best ever!

I am not sure, but I think his second goal against Germany is my first actual memory of him. He was an amazing striker! We have yet to find another 9 like him. Great video!! =)

Maybe u don’t know much about basketball, it’s sure u don’t know nothing about the game since u just said that O’Neal was dominant because of his physique. Both Ronaldo and Shaq had an privilege physique that added to their skills resulted in a superb combination of power, strength, talent and skill. And the point is that this combination make them absolutely unguardable for any defender on the world at the time. Ronaldo couldn’t make goals like he scored to Compostela and Valencia (when he was playing for Barsa) if not were because of his insane power, pretty much the same with Shaq on his prime with the Lakers. Shut up if u don’t know what are u talking about.
