RONALDINHO WITH BRAZIL |
|
|
 He was introduced into the Brazilian national
team in 1999. He debuted for the national team on June 26, 1999,
and in his first appearance he scored the winning goal against
Venezuela which helped the team win the Copa América.
Ronaldinho helped Brazil in their successful 2002 campaign to
win the World Cup. One of the highlights of the tournament was
an outrageous 35-metre free kick he scored against England in
the quarter-finals in Shizuoka, although he was sent off soon
after for a foul on Danny Mills.
On June 29, 2005, he played a pivotal role as the captain of the
Brazilian squad which won its second FIFA Confederations Cup
title, where he was named Man of the Match in a 4–1 victory over
Argentina in the final. Pelé named Ronaldinho in his 125 Top
Living Footballers in March 2004.
