I was 5 when I first saw him playing the 1998 World Cup. I remember watching the Brazil matches with Dad, and here was this guy doing things with his legs, that left my jaw hanging. He was one of my first sporting heroes alongside Sachin Tendulkar. The final loss was the first time I cried watching a sporting event. Then came the redemption in 2002. Been a Brazil fan ever since. today's Brazil team is a mere shadow of the team that made me fell in love with football - the Joga Bonito. But it was that good, that I am still ever praying for a Brazil win, wearing my canary yellow jersey. love for Ronaldo made me hate French football, although looking back that was sad, that I appreciated Zizou far less than I ought have. Mbappe has sort of brought respect for France. But Brazil is still my favourite, after all it is the team that made me fall in love with football.

He played with the best players and against the best players. Attackers idolised him and defenders were frightened of him. Everyone as kids used to try and copy his skills and wear his R9 boots. My favourite player of all time. R9 the king 👑🔥

I don't really like Ferdinand's attitude. He pretends to be humble while clearly being very arrogant and thinking he's one of the greatest ever. If Maldini said he needed help against R9 you can say the same bro, no need to blame the keeper and throw a teammate under the bus.

Kids nowadays don’t understand how legendary R9 was I seen him play back in cruzeiro when he was 16-17 year old rippin the competition apart like he was made for this sport. Sure Messi and Cristiano are amazing but this era of soccer is nothing compared to that era we had back then it was Ronaldo Zidane figo David B Henry Wayne Rooney etc so many legendary players during his era it’s ridiculous. Football is different now it’s alot more tactical you barely see one player rip through the defense and score . R9 was doing that every game shit was insane

Ronaldo always played with the ball on the ground rather than in the air. The least headers a football player does, is best for health & fitness reasons!!! Can use left & right foot!!! No.1 striker on my EA Sports FIFA Xbox digital game!!! Did not commit any foul play!!! Anyone who experiences injuries like Ronaldo will know it’s hard to recover, rehabilitate but Ronaldo continued his career!!! The first modern day capitalist footballer!!! 26:19

If we put Pele, Maradonna, R9, Messi, CR7 at their prime on the field... we have the answer who will be football player spotlights - R9. Messi & CR7 need teammates to assist. The player next to R9 is Maradonna & Pele.

3:53 People forget Cristiano was literally the most complete attacker and not just a poacher it's just the Age and injuries that forced him to change styles if Cristiano and R9 were of same generation i believe cr7 would still have an edge over him only r9's flair, pace and dribbles would be better than Cristiano

The speed of Mbappe, the dribbling & tricks of Messi and the striking ability & finishing of Cristiano. R9 Ronaldo was the best player to ever play the game before his first major injury imo. The fact he still achieved what he did in the game in an era where he shouldn't have been back on the pitch after his first (nevermind his second) injury is still unbelievable. Truly the phenomenon!

I watched this game live on TV, and to this day, that standing ovation from both fans, is firmly etched into the depth of my memories. And he did that, after all those injuries and weight problems. If he'd continued to ONLY play 5 -7 years consistently, without injuries and weight issues. That ALONE would have been enought to end the GOAT debate. He was THAT good!!
