RONALDO- O FENOMENO

Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima ili jednostavno Ronaldo za mnoge nogometne fanove je jedan od najvećih nogometaša u povijesti nogometa. Jedan je od glavnih razloga zašto su neki zavoljeli nogomet. Smatra se za jednog od najkompletnijih napadača u povijesti. Bilo ga je divota gledati kako igra. Bio je iznimno moćan, brz i tehnički potkovan ali i sjajan golgeter. Ronaldo je također bio jedan od najboljih driblera. Mnogo golova je zabio zahvaljujući svojim dribling vještinama. Ronaldo je bio u stanju nanizati par igrača zatim preći i golmana te postići sjajan gol. Nije bio samo odličan golgeter već i timski igrač koji je asistirao za puno golova. Imao je dobru viziju, pas i sposobnost centaršuta. Prirodno je bio dešnjak ali je mogao igrati sa obje noge na raznim napadačkim pozicijama. Mnogo je cijenjen od drugih bivših igrača i trenera. Tokom svoje karijere igrao je za mnoge velike klubove ali da nije bilo mnogo ozljeda mogao je postići puno više.   

-Ronaldo in his young ages

Ronaldo se rodio u  Rio de Janeiru u Brazilu. Treće je dijete Nelia Nazaria de Lime i Sonie dos Santos Barate. Kao i mnogi drugi veliki brazilski nogometaši došao je iz siromašne obitelji. Negovi roditelji su se mučili da ga pošalju u školu. Učitelji su u njemu uvidjeli čudo od dječaka. Bio je vrlo dobar u školi ali ju je morao napustiti sa 11 godina. Njegovi roditelju su se rastali i zbog toga što se nije imao tko brinuti o njemu morao je otići iz škole. U to vrijeme je igrao ulična nogometna natjecanja kako bi zaradio koji novac. U to vrijeme nogomet mu je bio jedina ljubav. Pomogao mu je da preživi. Ulični nogomet mu je dao puno iskustva. O svom djetinstvu jednom je rekao: “U Brazilu svako dijete vrlo rano počne igrati ulični nogomet. To je u našoj krvi. Svaki put kada bih išao van varao bih majku. Rekao bih joj da idem u školu ali ja bih na ulici igrao nogomet. Uvijek sam imao loptu sa sobom.“ Njegov trud se isplatio jer je uočen od bivše brazilske legende Jairzinha. Jairzinho je u to vrijeme bio trener Sao Cristovala. Nakon nekoliko godina provedenih tamo Jairzinho ga je preporučio svom bivšem klubu Cruzieru. Ronaldo je tada imao samo 16 godina. Već u svojoj prvoj sezoni sa Cruzeirom Ronaldo je pokazao kakvom igračinom može postati. U 47 utakmica je zabio zadivljujućih 44 golova. Zbog svojih sjajnih igara za Cruzeiro, Carlos Alberto ga je uključio u momčad za nadolazeće Svjetsko Prvenstvo u SAD-u. Brazil je osvojio to prvenstvo ali Ronaldo nije odigrao ni minute. Unatoč tome što nije odigrao ni jednu utakmicu ime mu se našlo u bilježnici Pieta De Vissera, u to vrijeme jednog od najbolji skauta. Značilo je to da će svoju karijeru nastaviti u nizozemskom velikanu PSV-u. U to vrijeme je bio poznat pod nadimkom Ronaldinho (mali Ronaldo) jer se njegov stariji suigrač u Brazilu zvao Ronaldo (Ronaldo Rodrigues de Jesus). Došavši u PSV nastavio je gdje je stao u Cruzeiru. Nije prestajao zabijati. U dvije sezone sa PSV-om zabio je 54 gola u samo 57 utakmica. U jesen 1996. je otišao u Španjolsku gdje je potpisao za jedan od najboljih svjetskih klubova, Barcelonu. Barcelona ga je platila 19,5 milijuna dolara. Tada je to bio najskuplji svjetski transfer. Sa Sir Bobbijem Robosnom na klupi i s njime u napadu Barcelona je osvojila Kup Pobjednika Kupova te Kup Kralja. Još jedna sjajna sezona za Ronalda u kojoj je zabio 47 gola u 49 utakmica. U 1996. je osvojio nagradu za Fifinog igrača godine te je tako postao najmlađi igrač koji je osvojio tu nagradu. Nakon samo jedne sezone u Barceloni otišao je u Inter. Došlo je do problema sa produljenjem ugovora u kojem je Barcelona htjela da potpiše na duže vrijeme. Pregovori su propali te je Barcelona prihvatila 27 milijuna dolara tešku ponudu Intera. To je ponovno bio rekordan svjetski transfer koji je Ronalda učinio tek drugim igračem koji je dva puta imao prilike da ga obori. Prvi je bio Maradona. 1997. opet je osvojio nagradu za Fifinog igrača godine ali i Zlatnu loptu. U prvoj sezoni u Interu je zabio 34 gola i osvojio svoj jedini trofej, Kup UEFA. U finalu Kupa UEFE su se sastali sa drugim talijanskim klubom Laziom. Ronaldio je zabio jedan u 3-0 pobijedi. Nakon tog finala branič Lazia Alessnadro Nesta je izjavio da je Ronaldo najteži napadač s kojim je ikada igrao te kako ga je bilo nemoguće zaustaviti. U ljeto 1998. Ronaldo je otišao u Francusku na Svjetsko Prvenstvo. U to vrijeme Ronaldo je bio najbolji igrač na svijetu a Brazil jedan od glavnih kandidata da opet osvoji naslov. Brazil je otišao do finala a Ronaldo je zabio 4 gola uz 3 asistencije. Ronaldo je odigrao jako loše u finalu Svjetskog 1998 u kojem je Zidane vodio Francusku do lakih 3-0. Ronaldo nije bio ni sjena igrača kakav je bio proteklih par sezona. Nakon utakmice su se proširile glasine da je imao ozljedu gležnja. Kasnije su izašle nove priče da je bolovao od nadutosti trbuha. Na kraju je liječnik Brazila iznio istinu. Noć prije finala Ronaldo je odveden u bolnicu nakon što je pretrpio konvulziju (grčenje i opuštanje mišića) tokom sna. Izostavljen je iz početne postave. Vratio se nekoliko minuta prije početka te je na kraju i počeo utakmicu. O tom Svjetskom Prvenstvu je rekao: “Izgubili smo Svjetsko Prvenstvo, ali sam osvojio drugi trofej- svoj život.“
Ostatak karijere u Interu je bio pun ozljeda koje su ga bacile van terena na više od godinu dana. U studenom 1999. je pretrpio ozljedu koljena u Serie A utakmici protiv Leccea. Otišao je na operaciju nakon koje je morao mirovati 5 mjeseci. Brazilac se vratio u finalu kupa protiv Lazija. Ušao je kao zamjena ali je na terenu ostao samo 7 minuta jer je opet zadobio ozljedu koljena ali ovog puta mnogo ozbiljniju. Vratio se nakon godinu dana i zabio 7 golova u 16 nastupa za Inter. To je bilo dovoljno da uvjeri Luis Felipe Scolarija da ga odvede u Japan/Koreju na Svjetsko Prvenstvo 2002. To je bila odlična odluka Scolarija jer se Ronaldo pretvorio u Brazilskog heroja unatoč tome što je propustio cijele kvalifikacije. Ronaldo je odveo Brazil do rekordnog petog naslova svjetskog prvaka gdje je osvojio Zlatnu kopačku kao najbolji strijelac sa 8 golova, a bio je i drugoplasirani za Zlatnu loptu za najboljeg igrača na turniru. Još jednom je nagrađen Zlatnom loptom. Nakon Svjetskog Prvenstva se vratio u Španjolsku gdje je potpisao za Real Madrid te postao članom Galacticosa. Zabio je dvaput u svojoj prvoj utakmici za Real te je u 4,5 godine zabio ukupno 104 gola u 177 nastupa. Osvojio je dvije La Lige, Interkontinental kup te španjolski superkup. Poznat je po zabijanju hattricka tokom gostujuće utakmice Lige Prvaka protiv Manchester Uniteda koji ga je nagradio pljeskom cijelog Old Trafforda. Bio je dio brazilske reprezentacije na Svjetskom 2006. Sjajna momčad sa Robertom Carlosom, Kakom, Adrianom, Ronaldinhom... Nisu uspjeli napraviti veći rezultat jer su u četvrtfinalu izbačeni od Francuske. U siječnju 2007. je potpisao za Interovog rivala Milana. U svojoj prvoj utakmici za Crveno-crne zabio je dvaput u pobjedi 2-1 protiv Livorna. U “Derby della Madonnina“  je zabijao za oba kluba i Inter i Milan te tako postao jedini uz Ibrahimovića kome je to uspjelo. Igrao je za četiri velika rivala ali ga navijači nikada nisu mrzili. Tokom svog boravka u Milanu opet je pretrpio ozljedu koljena. Na kraju sezone 2007/08 Milan ga je otpustio. Zabio je 9 golova u 20 utakmica. Iako je igrao za 4 velika kluba u Europi nikada nije osvojio najveći trofej u klupskom nogometu, Ligu Prvaka. Dok se oporavljao od ozljede trenirao je s Flamengom. Iako je Flamengo  mogao postati sljedeći klub u njegovoj karijeri on je izabrao Corinthians. Unatoč tome što je bio van pogona cijelu 2008. godinu uspio je zabiti 23 gola u prvoj sezoni sa brazilskim klubom. Pomogao im je da osvoje prvenstvo Pauliste te brazilski kup. Kao i prethodnih godina i u Corinthiansu je imao problema sa ozljedama. U svojoj drugoj godini zatresao je mrežu 12 puta. U veljači 2011. nakon što je Corinthians ispao iz Cope Libertadores, Ronaldo je najavio svoje povlačenje iz nogometa. U svojoj posljednjoj aktivnoj sezoni je odigrao samo 4 utakmice u kojima nije postigao pogodak. U emotivnoj konferenciji za novinare je rekao da se odlučio na prijevremeno umirovljenje zbog boli te hipotireoze: “Jako je teško napustiti nešto što te čini sretnim. Psihički sam htio nastaviti ali fizički nisam mogao, tijelo nije izdržalo. Zamislio bi akciju ali je nisam mogao odraditi na način kako sam želio. Vrijeme je da odem.“

RONALDO- O FENOMENO

Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima or simply Ronaldo is for many football fans one of the greatest player in history of football. He is one of the main reasons why some started to love football.

Ronaldo was also one of the best dribblers. He scored lot of goals beacouse of his dribbling skills. Ronaldo could pass trough several players then also a goalkeeper and made a great finish. He was not only a great goalscorer but also a very good teamate who provided lot of assists. He had a great vision, passing and crossing abilities. He was naturally right footed but he could use his both feets and play on a several offensive positions. He is much appreciated by many former footballers and coaches. During his career he played for lot of great clubs but if there wasn't lot of injuries he could achieve much more. 

-Ronaldo in his young ages

Ronaldo was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He was third child of Nelio Nazario de Lima and Sonia dos Santos Barata. As many others great Brazilian footballers he also came from poor family. His parents struggled to send him to school. He was recognized as a child prodigy by his teachers. He was very good at school but at the age of 11 he had to drop out of school. His parents separated and becouse no one could take care of him he left school. At that time he played street football competitions to earn some money. Football was his only love at that time. It surely helped him to survive. Street football gave lot of experience to him. About his childhood he once siad: “In Brazil every kid starts playing street football very early. It’s in our blood. Every time I went away I was deceiving my mom. I’d tell her I was going to school but I’d be out on the street playing football. I always had a ball on my feet.” His hard work paid off becouse he was spotted by a former Brazilian legend Jairzinho. Jairzinho was at that time coach of Sao Cristovao. After some years there Jairzinho recommended him to his former club Cruzeiro. Ronaldo was only 16 years old at that time. In his first senior season with Cruziero he shown what is he able to become. He scored astonishing 44 goals in 47 matches. Becouse of his great performance at Cruzeiro, Carlos Alberto included him in Brazil squad for upcoming WC in USA. Brazil went to win that World cup but Ronaldo didn't played any minutes. Despite he didn't played any matches his name got into notes of Piet De Visser, at that time one of the best scouts. It meant that Ronaldo would continue his career with Duch giant PSV. At that time he was known under nickname Ronaldinho (little Ronaldo) becouse his older teammate in Brazil was called Ronaldo (Ronaldo Rodrigues de Jesus). He came to PSV continuing where he stopped during Cruzeiro time. He just couldn't stop scoring. In two seasons with PSV he scored amazing 54 goals in just 57 matches. In autumn of 1996, Ronaldo made his move to Spain where he signed for one of the best clubs in the world, Barcelona. Barcelona payed $19,5 milion. At that time it was a world record transfer. With Sir Bobby Robson as coach and him in attack Barcelona went to win UEFA Cup Winners Cup and Copa del Rey. Another great season for Ronaldo as he scored 47 goals in 49 matches. In 1996 he won FIFA World Player of the Year award, becoming the youngest player to win it. After just one season in Barcelona he was transfered to Inter. There was problems with the renegotiation of a new contract in which they offered him to sign it in a long term. The agreement collapsed and Barcelona accepted $27 milion offer from Inter Milan. It was again a world record transfer which makes him the second player to brake world record transfer twice. First was Maradona. In 1997 he won again FIFA World Player of the Year award but also a Ballon d'Or. In his first season with Inter he scored 34 goals and went to win UEFA Cup. In that UEFA Cup final they faced other Italian club Lazio. Ronaldo scored one goal in 3-0 win. He was also man of the match. After that final Lazio defender Alessandro Nesta said that Ronaldo is hardest attacker he ever had to face. It was impossible to stop him. In the summer of 1998 Ronaldo went to France to play in the World Cup. At that time he was best player in the world and Brazil was one of the main candidates to lift the World cup again. Brazil went to the final and Ronaldo scored 4 goals and added 3 assists. Ronald played very bad in final of 1998 WC in which Zidane lead France to an easy 3-0 win. Ronaldo was not even close to a player like he was in a seasons before. After match there were rumour that he had an ankle injury. But later new stories came out that he had been suffering from an upset stomach... At the end Brazilian team doctor revealed the truth. The night before the final Ronaldo was taken to hospital after he suffered a convulsion in his sleep. He was dropped from first team for the final match. But he managed to return several minutes before kick-off and eventually got his name in starting line-up. Ronaldo about 1998 WC final: “We lost the World Cup but I won another cup- my life.“    

His later career in Inter was full of injuries which forced him out for more then one season. In November of 1999 he suffered a knee injury in Serie A match against Lecce. He went to surgery and had to take a brake for 5 months. The Brazilian made his return in Coppa Italia final match against Lazio. He came as a substitute and stayed on the pitch for only 7 minutes becouse he again suffered a knee injury but this time more serious. Ha came back about one year later and scored 7 goals in 16 matches for Inter. It was enough to convince Luis Felipe Scolari to take him to Japan/Korea for 2002 World Cup. It was a great decision by Scolari becouse Ronaldo will turn into Brazil hero despite he missed Brazil's entire qualification campaign. Ronaldo led Brazil to their record fifth World Cup triumph where he won the Golden Shoe as top scorer with eight goals, and was runner-up to the Golden Ball as most valuable player in the tournament. Once again he was awared with Ballon d'Or. After the World Cup he moved back to Spain to sign with Real Madrid to be part of Galacticos. He scored twice in his debut game for Real and went to score in total 104 goals in 177 matches over 4,5 seasons. He won two La Liga, Intercontinental cup and Supercopa de Espana. He is famous for scoring hattrick during Champions League away match vs Manchester United which gave him standing ovation from whole Old Trafford. He was also part of Brazilian team at WC 2006. A great team with Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Adriano, Ronaldinho... They faill to make better result as they were kicked out from France in quarter-final. In January 2007 he signed for Inter's rival Milan. In his first match for Rossoneri he scored twice in 2-1 win over Livorno. He scored for both Inter and Milan in Derby della Madonnina being only one with Ibrahimović to do that. He played for four big rivals but never hated by any of their fans. During his time at Milan he also suffered a knee injury. At the end of 2007/08 season he was released by Milan. He scored 9 goals in 20 matches. Despite he had played for four big clubs in Europe he never won the biggest trophy in club football, Champions League. While he was recovering from knee injury he trained with Flamengo. Flamengo could be next club of his career but he choose Corinthians. Despite he was out for whole 2008 he managed to score 23 goals in his first season with Brazilian club. He helped them to win Campeonato Paulista and Brazilian cup. As in previous years he also had injury problems in Corinthians. He manage to score 12 goals in his second year with them. In February 2011, after Corinthians were eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, Ronaldo announced his retirement from football. In his final year of football he played only 4 matches in which he didn't scored any goal. In an emotional press conference he said that reason of his premature retirement is pain and hypothyroidism: "It's very hard to leave something that made me so happy. Mentally I wanted to continue but I have to acknowledge that I lost to my body. The head wants to go on but the body can't take any more. I think of an action but I can't do it the way I want to. It's time to go."

Today Ronaldo plays charity matches, poker... He is a member of PokerStars.
