RONALDINHO BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
 Ronaldo de Assis Moreira (born March 21, 1980 in Porto Alegre,
Brazil) is a footballer more commonly known as Ronaldinho Gaúcho
due to his citizenship in the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil.
His name Ronaldinho, Portuguese for "little Ronaldo", was
originally devised as a means of distinguishing between himself,
and fellow Brazilian footballer Ronaldo. Among his many
achievements and accolades, Ronaldinho has been awarded the FIFA
World Player of the Year award twice as well as both the
European Footballer of the Year award and the FIFPro World
Player of the Year award once. He is widely regarded as the best
player in the world currently, although he himself considers
such talk ridiculous, having told FourFourTwo magazine, "I don't
even feel I'm the best at Barça."
In his childhood, Ronaldinho's skill in football began to
blossom due to his particular interest in futsal and beach
football, which later developed into a fondness for more
standardised football. His first brush with the media came after
a 23 goal flurry against a local team, at just 13 years of age. His reputation as a footballer was upheld during most of his
childhood, particularly due to the fact he was a prolific goal-scorer
in the Egypt under-17 world championship, and to his stylish
play.
