RONALDINHO WITH GREMIO |
|
|
 His career began, playing at the youth team of
Grêmio, in the era of head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, who would
later become Brazilian national team coach. His first senior
appearance came in the 1998 Libertadores Cup, and his penchant
for goalscoring was quickly displayed; generating speculation
and interest around his career due to his phenomenal ball
control and ability to score. This was followed by his
introduction into the Brazilian national team in 1999.
Towards the end of his career at Grêmio, in 2001, many clubs
from all over the world, particularly Premiership teams in
England, were eager to sign him as an attempt to attain a "big
name" player, as well as a well performing player. Despite
several generous bids from Premiership teams, including a £50
million bid from Leeds[citation needed], and several requests
from Grêmio, Ronaldinho signed a five-year contract for Paris
Saint-Germain, and started his contract at the beginning of the
following season.
