Fun fact: In Brazil R9 was known and called "Ronaldinho" before Ronaldinho Gaucho became famous playing in Europe and for the Brazilian national team. So we just started calling R9 as Ronaldo only
If r9 didn't have those injuries we wouldn't be having a goat conversation nowadays He was just god gifted perfect height, fast with the ball, high football iq, strong physique, magical ball control and dribbling dude had it all
R9 ❤ he s been the ONE. I never loved any actors or player in sports but luise nazaria delima , the one & only. If u watched him play u know what im sayin..

The crazy thing is that at 18 / 19 years of age R9 was playing at the same level as CR7 in his prime. The knee injury robbed us of seeing him at that same level again. He was still class but never completely the same.
For me Henry is far more talented footballer than cr7. forget the real Ronaldo because nazario was on whole another level But CR7 is only more hardworking
R9 was awesome, everyone goes on about CR7 has more goals.... but they also forget the horrific injury that ruined R9 career! Watch him in his youth he was incredible! Never fell over for the sake of it, always tried to stay on his feet and continue playing, gone are the days of real mens football, they all fall over now and fain injury!
@@jal051 okay "old dude", since you are the master of football knowledge, how many match did you watched him played live ? and again, how many did he scored in a single season in his prime ? fyi, i watched him played in his prime.
I’ve never seen a player get this much hate for being that Great🙆🏽♂️😭 how is it every time I see a football video of Ronaldo there’s somuch hate😂 even Ex players hate 🐐Ronaldo
*For the pure sake of the "real Ronaldo" argument, it's definitely R9. He's the older one and the one who started his football career first. Also, R9's first name is Ronaldo, while the latter's is Cristiano. Not only that, I believe I heard somewhere that the reason Cristiano chose to go with Ronaldo on the back of his shirt is because he knew it'd be more memorable/marketable.* *No hate, though. Both players are legends.*
Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima Vs Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. I think both can make a claim to being the real Ronaldo but R9 was Ronaldo before Cristiano was. And he was similarly a superstar and the world's best player for many years. Arguably just as good a career as R7 overall, with the World Cup wins and golden Boot on top of what C7 has. Winning the world Cup for me is still the very pinnacle of a career. The only thing we can learn from this debate is to name your kid Ronaldo if you want them to be good at football.
I know it is nothing serious but Don't let it not skip your mind that CR7 has five champions league , champions League top scorer ever and a lot of trophies to his name and cabinet even the Brazilian Ronaldo didn't even achieve half of this doing his prime that you guys usually black about. Even R9 best season ever Cristiano Ronaldo did that multiple times. (And pls don't blame injury) even haalad and mbappe has surpassed his UCL goals 😂😆😂, I don't hate him though but the truth is the truth ✌️🕊️

When Henry said “when you were growing up” it sounded like R9 is much older than them when he’s only a year older than henry and 2 years older than Carragher lol
I'm a United fan and CR7 fiend(its my old post code) but if you watched footy in the 90s/00s Henry is totally right, there is One Ronaldo and One Cristiano Ronaldo and they are two different people 😅
@@scottpaulson206 people will reach wherever the opportunity arises. I don’t think Henry has disrespect or disingenuous intentions when talking about R9 and CR7. We all know CR7 is the GOAT now but R9 was different gravy during the 90s/early 00s
That's Jus to distinguish them different cause people would get it twisted it doesn't matter cause The real Ronaldo was first b4 CR7 came along after..... still a goat but not the real Ronaldo 😂😂😂
I mean it's pretty normal, if a guy called Antonio Messi started playing and turned out to be one of the goat he would be called Antonio and Lionel Messi would still be Messi
Henry almost won it in 2003. R9 from ages 19-22 was the best player in the world by a mile. Injuries and Hyperthyroidism was the only thing R9 had a problem with. His play even then with all that was spectacular.
@@user46421cristiano clear, if r9 never got injured hed be the greatest of all time, sadly that isn’t the case, all we can look at are accomplishments, and cristiano is 🐐

You guys never saw the "real Ronaldo" in his prime that is why you guys are so triggered. The Ronaldo at PSV, Barça and Inter is unrivalled. That's before he got his 2 knee injuries and the World Cup. He never was the same after the year 2000. I am old enough to see the two play from the beginning and end of their careers. As good as Cristiano is, he is not better than the "real Ronaldo".
I remember in world cup 98 in France, every time Ronaldo scored, everyone wanted to see how he did. That man was a pleasure to watch, even people who didn't watch football wanted to see R9 goals. Even now when I watch clips from that tournament, I get nostalgia, the music, atmosphere, the players. It was such a good tournament. Zidane was playing at his peak as well.
Cr7 from 08-14 was as explosive as R9, but CR7 did it longer, had way better stats, way better peak. Only stupid people think CR7 was a box poacher his whole career. Cr7 has ligament damage, so don’t cry about R9s injuries only….
Yes, but that's not what it is in this video. Saying you prefer a player to another one is very different from saying he's real, meaning that the other one is fake. That's not respectful for some people at that level.

@@BigSmokeMUFC I'm not a personal fan of either, I just speak the truth. R9 played in a more difficult era with better defenders where the threshold for a foul isn't as low as it is now. However, I wouldn't put him ahead of Messi
R9 the real deal. Have more talent than Cristiano can wish for no matter what the record says. When you have the likes of Ronaldinho and Zlatan saying you are their idols you know you are the GOAT
The issue is you have the new generation that idolize Messi and Ronaldo. Players like Mbappe are going to have such better careers than Zlatan and Ronaldihno. Also Ronaldo has 1 thing that R9 never had and that's discipline. He was his own biggest enemy and robbed himself of having a better career more than the injuries did.
People make beefs out of anything, Henry just said something everyone who grew up with R9 actually thinks, that he's the "real Ronaldo". He never disrespected Cristiano in any way
Hardcore football fanatics will 100% agree with this statement. If he didn’t get all them injuries, without a doubt he would of been the best ever to do it. For the short period we got to see him, was just woooooooow 🤯😲🙊…he was too much!

The el phenomenon was a rare breed..His movement was like a whirlwind that blows opponents away.It a shame his myriads of injuries robbed us probably the best player to ever grace the pitch to reach the pinnacle of his career!

@@Thekingslayer-ig5se I already can gauge your age by your comment. As I said, after 2 knee injuries in either knee, R9 was never the same after the year 2000. Whatever he achieved or won after that was based on pure talent and muscle memory. You're too young to even know what I'm talking about. R9 had 2 FIFA World Player of the Year Awards by age 21 (which was the equivalent to the prestige of the Ballon d'Or today) and then won another one at age 25 after 2 knee injuries (left and right) after the '02 WC. I know you think that your era is the best football ever but I'm afraid social media has influenced you guys in the wrong direction
@@o̸ණ See I actually like R9 and consider him as one of the greatest strikers of all time! He literally rattled the serie a in the 90s among the great maldini nesta and cannavaro As you said that if not for injuries he could have been the greatest ever , it’s the ‘if’ which is in question . Surely if R9 hadn’t had that knee injury he would have won Atleast 5 balondors 5 golden boots, Multiple UCLs and much more! His pace was terrifying too! But you also have to understand that Cristiano ronaldo coming from a much inferior country achieved even more success than ronaldo nazario! He has also proven that in different leagues ! CR7 too had a tendonitis issue which will only detoeiate as time goes on ! Still he went on to win 3 balondors 4UCLs A Euro a nations league and laurels in itlay. R9 was sensational to watch but was lacked longevity. He was a party animal and had he focused on his health and fitness, he could have been the superior. No body is trying to vilify Ronaldo nazario but what CR7 achieved both on and off the field is superhuman stuff. Only Leo Messi could be brought into this conversation. Still I will take R9 as the CF in my best 11. It’s quite sad that we never witnessed his prime
@@Thekingslayer-ig5se Ofcourse I agree with you that R7 accomplished more in his career than R9. That's a fact and it's not even up for debate. All I am saying is that R7, even with his accomplishments, cannot be compared to R9. I know that is hard to understand because of all the Ballon d'Ors that R7 won, but if you were old enough in that time that R9 played, there will be no doubt. Henry played against both and I understand why he said what he said. The problem is that the younger generations are often dismissive of everybody before them, which is crazy to me, because my generation was never like that. But for some reason the social media generation believes everything they see is the best thing ever to happen to football. For example, Håland is good but ppl are saying he is already better than Henry because of his numbers. But there were no Sheikhs in English football back then, so you had to play with whoever was available. There was no VAR, no 5 subs, football was not as soft back then as it is today. Everything is a foul in football. Every minimal contact in the box is a penalty now. All these factors make a difference. Manchester City can buy anyone even with 100+ alleged breaches of FFP rules. Even though I'm old enough to see multiple generations of football, I've never seen anyone like Messi. So I am not at all bias to former generations
R9. The real Ronaldo who played for Barca, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and AC Milan (4 of the biggest clubs in world football) and helped those clubs win 1 league title 😂 and failed to help any of those clubs win the CL People also talk about him winning 2 world cups 🙄 When Brazil won the 1994 tournament he didn’t play 1 second so he done absolutely nothing to help them win that tournament (so he has 1 really)
Prime R9 >Prime CR7 sorry. Especially given He played in a more physical time and league in his prime. He carried Brazil to a WC and did it coming back from major injury. I saw R9 during his early days haven't seen a player as physically gifted w the ball in the modern era....at 17 years old R9 was honestly a top 10 player in the world.
These kids..that think CR7 is the GOAT must be crazy..he definitely not better than R9...talk about his prime?? CR7..When was his prime exactly?...he gradually got better through hardwork and training..while he was already at a Big club like Man united...R9..hit the ground running..there is no comparison...compare Messi & CR7 at 22 years old...No comparison either..the guy has been playing catch up to Messi...
@@SERGIO-cr6uy I know, cr7 is legendary 🙌 but r9 was elite in his prime and was as good as cry and Messi when he was at his best, it just didn't last to long unfortunately
R9 in his prime could fit onto any team he wanted. He would still terrify any defence. Cr7 performs good in any team. But for him to perform exceptionally the team must mould around cr7.
2nd arrival at Manchester united is it a good team? He still scoring goals for fun mate in that absolute joke of a team. I think r9 wants the good team around him. Brazil was great madrid was galacticos era.

You can not love the beautiful game and not love R9 especially if you watched him play, he literally put fear into defenders!
He played phenomenally for Barça & RM, Inter & AC and none of their fans hate him for that, in fact they all love him. That tells you everything you about him.
True. He was just that good everyone wanted to see him play, even the opposition fans.
Almost no one hates R9. fans of opponent team also cheers when he scored.

Fun fact: In Brazil R9 was known and called "Ronaldinho" before Ronaldinho Gaucho became famous playing in Europe and for the Brazilian national team. So we just started calling R9 as Ronaldo only

Saying the "real Ronaldo" does not need clarification
*For the pure sake of the "real Ronaldo" argument, it's definitely R9. He's the older one and the one who started his football career first. Also, R9's first name is Ronaldo, while the latter's is Cristiano. Not only that, I believe I heard somewhere that the reason Cristiano chose to go with Ronaldo on the back of his shirt is because he knew it'd be more memorable/marketable.*
*No hate, though. Both players are legends.*
His name is actually Nazario Da Lima.
Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima Vs
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.
I think both can make a claim to being the real Ronaldo but R9 was Ronaldo before Cristiano was. And he was similarly a superstar and the world's best player for many years. Arguably just as good a career as R7 overall, with the World Cup wins and golden Boot on top of what C7 has. Winning the world Cup for me is still the very pinnacle of a career.
The only thing we can learn from this debate is to name your kid Ronaldo if you want them to be good at football.
@@ArrKayLondon Even "Ronaldinho" means "Little Ronaldo". That name produces excellence.

R9 and CR7 are not in the same level. The real Ronaldo9 was a great footballer while C7 is just goal scorer.
He didn’t say that to spite Christiano Ronaldo. There is the Ronaldo! A legend just like christiano Ronaldo

Whatever he achieved or won after that was based on pure talent and muscle memory. You're too young to even know what I'm talking about. R9 had 2 FIFA World Player of the Year Awards by age 21 (which was the equivalent to the prestige of the Ballon d'Or today) and then won another one at age 25 after 2 knee injuries (left and right) after the '02 WC. I know you think that your era is the best football ever but I'm afraid social media has influenced you guys in the wrong direction
@@o̸ණ See I actually like R9 and consider him as one of the greatest strikers of all time! He literally rattled the serie a in the 90s among the great maldini nesta and cannavaro As you said that if not for injuries he could have been the greatest ever , it’s the ‘if’ which is in question .
Surely if R9 hadn’t had that knee injury he would have won Atleast 5 balondors 5 golden boots, Multiple UCLs and much more! His pace was terrifying too!
But you also have to understand that Cristiano ronaldo coming from a much inferior country achieved even more success than ronaldo nazario! He has also proven that in different leagues ! CR7 too had a tendonitis issue which will only detoeiate as time goes on ! Still he went on to win 3 balondors 4UCLs A Euro a nations league and laurels in itlay.
R9 was sensational to watch but was lacked longevity. He was a party animal and had he focused on his health and fitness, he could have been the superior. No body is trying to vilify Ronaldo nazario but what CR7 achieved both on and off the field is superhuman stuff.

@@Thekingslayer-ig5se Ofcourse I agree with you that R7 accomplished more in his career than R9. That's a fact and it's not even up for debate. All I am saying is that R7, even with his accomplishments, cannot be compared to R9. I know that is hard to understand because of all the Ballon d'Ors that R7 won, but if you were old enough in that time that R9 played, there will be no doubt. Henry played against both and I understand why he said what he said. The problem is that the younger generations are often dismissive of everybody before them, which is crazy to me, because my generation was never like that. But for some reason the social media generation believes everything they see is the best thing ever to happen to football. For example, Håland is good but ppl are saying he is already better than Henry because of his numbers. But there were no Sheikhs in English football back then, so you had to play with whoever was available. There was no VAR, no 5 subs, football was not as soft back then as it is today. Everything is a foul in football. Every minimal contact in the box is a penalty now. All these factors make a difference. Manchester City can buy anyone even with 100+ alleged breaches of FFP rules. Even though I'm old enough to see multiple generations of football, I've never seen anyone like Messi. So I am not at all bias to former generations
R9. The real Ronaldo who played for Barca, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and AC Milan (4 of the biggest clubs in world football) and helped those clubs win 1 league title 😂 and failed to help any of those clubs win the CL
