The Best No.9 in Football History..
Hello from Croatia🇭🇷✌️
I’m only 41 but no other player in my life time was as exciting to watch as this guy. U just wanted the ball to go to him constantly to watch something amazing 🙌🏻
Me too
Same here
If you comare with today's football is really hard to undesrtand. He is the number 9, I mean his position on the field, and he recieves the ball in the middle of the fied and he bring the ball alone like it's the easiest thing. And then he finishes the game after dribbling half of the rival team or he passes the ball like he's playing against kids.
Compravo le VHS e registravo le partite per mandare indietro più volte e capire quello che faceva in campo, perché guardandolo solo in diretta, non era sufficiente per comprendere come facesse a mandare i difensori da un lato far sparire la palla per poi ricomparire dall'altro.
@@marcoscontrerascruz2358 Exactly it was really like that. A grown man playing with little kids. And imagine doing that against the most toughest defenders we have ever seen. That my friend is out of this world class. For me the greatest striker ever.
It's amazing how many times he put himself in a situation where he's 1-1 with the goalkeeper and dribble past them, we don't see that anymore in today's games.
The only player in history that gave nightmares to the defenders. Even Maldini was very scared of him.
And another Italian legend, also considered one of the greatest defenders of all time -
"Ronaldo is the hardest attacker I’ve ever had to face. He was impossible to stop. The worst experience I ever had was playing against Ronaldo when we faced Inter in the 1998 UEFA Cup final in Paris. He’s an incredible player. I have watched that game on video so many times since then, trying to work out what I did wrong. We lost 3-0, but I don’t think now it was my fault. Ronaldo was simply unstoppable. He is so quick he makes everyone else look as if they are standing still.”
-- Alessandro Nesta
Kaká também fazia isso
The only? Pelé had the same effect on defenders
@@MrVvulf but guess who Maldini's mentor Franco Baresi said was the greatest..... D10
@@dorlydj No Pele didn't because he played against atrocious defenders and spent his entire career playing against non professional players in Brazil who were playing football part-time. Pele would have been obliterated in the 90s/early 00s Serie A. Especially by Maldini, Nesta and Cannavaro. Shit, he would have been obliterated even in the 80s Serie A.
For those who wants know football before comparing players, I will give you the following important points:
#1. Serie A during this era was exteremly challenging and complex competetion.
#2. 1 goal in that Serie A means 3 goals in the current Serie A.
#3. Best players in the world were playing in that Serie A followed by La Liga, EPL and then Bundesliga.
#4. The best defenders like Maldini, Canavaro, Desailly, Thuram, Nesta all said that Ronaldo Nazario is the most difficult player they face with.
#5. Ronaldo Nazario never dived, unstoppable and selected as the best player of the decade in Serie A.
#6. Ronaldo Nazario was impactful for his clubs and national team.
#7. Ronaldo Nazario was one of the best dribblers, playmakers and passer.
#8. Ronaldo Nazario is the best striker in history.
#9. Ronaldo Nazario is the youngest player who won the Ballon D’or.
#10. Ronaldo Nazario scored 47 goals out of 49 games at Barcelona in 96/97 season.
Most people say that Ronaldo without injuries could be the best player in history. In my point of view the mistake that Ronaldo did was that his move from Barcelona to Inter Milan. Because Serie A at that time was extremely aggressive. If he were stayed at Barcelona, he would have been won the 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and even more Ballon D’Ors.
If you recognize what I am saying current football stars like Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo are not even close to Ronaldo Nazario.
True, well said
True
Very True. Very Strongly Agreed.
EPL was shit at this time.
You only said 2 or 3 things there that are correct. You're probably too young to remember him in his prime and even though he's a great to say Messi isn't better makes everything you said absolutely pointless.
Ronaldo era um jogador tão foda que vc assistia as partidas torcendo pros outros jogadores tocar logo a bola nele, pois toda vez que Ronaldo pegava na bola ele já partia correndo com tudo pra cima da zaga e vc sabia que a qualquer momento ele poderia fazer gol, e parecia que o cara não cansava nunca.

@@MrAndreyoung switching subjects now?
He had just turned 21 when he went to Inter, not 22.
If it weren't for three serious injuries between 1999 and 2000, it was very likely that Ronaldo would have 5 or 6 Ballon d'Ors at the end of his career. The level presented between 1996 and 1998 was completely unplayable and out of this world, before even turning 23 years old.
More like 7 or even 8 Ballon d'or, could've been possible for him if he stayed healthy.
Actually Ronaldo did have serious injuries in PSV at 2nd season then Barça just muscular when he goes to Inter he had those 3, so actually he was already nerfed at Inter when he had that first one and still manage to deliver bangers
He had no competition....he would probably have won the Ballon from 1998 up to 2004

Inacreditável, força bruta demais, não me impressiona os seus joelhos terem ido a falha, o cara simplismente tinha uma arrancada e uma freada brusca inigualável, os jogadores trombando nele e ele mais firme que ferro no concreto, corria dms, nenhum jogador parecia difícil pra ele, inigualável, imagina esse cara com um joelho mais saudável, que sonho!!
E detalhe era muito habilidoso
The way he intantly stops after a freaking sprint. No wonder he injured himself. This man was a beast in a human body.
Most of the time, the job of his teammates at Inter was to stand in awe and just appreciate the beauty with which he handled the ball, and try very hard not to interfere with his game play.

Nothing to do with cristianascum7.
But Messi had Vision and amount of assist,Both Ronaldos was not really playmakers,only great scorers and driblling skills.
@@dariuswroclawski5521 Ronaldo Fenomeno at his prime in 1997-98 was free kick taker , corner taker , playmaker playing from deep defending and being the main man behind the counter attacks with his dribbling and speed all of that while being also the main goal scorer , and then the injuries came . Im not saying Ronaldo ever had the vision and playmaking of Messi but at his best he could do it pretty well. If you haven't yet watched the friendly match europe vs world from 1997 , watch it i know its a friendly but Ronaldo completely dominated the midfield scored 2 goals and 3 assists , he embarrassed europe so bad he had to be subbed of.

This is ronaldo who knows all word.. The real ronaldo. A fenomeno. I born at 80' and I remember magician matches and with all Brazilian team with a 3R..Ronaldo Ronaldinho Rivaldo..Fenomeno for ever
4:20 look at that hold up play, under so much pressure even before receiving the ball.. players these days hit the deck immediately - From this video you can really see how special he was, excelling in all aspects of the attacking game... keeping possession, build up play, assists, crazy close control and dribbling, and deadly finishing 🔥
hmmm and without shouting and hawking around the penalty area like some other Ronaldos that we know lol
The man wasn't human. He was from Planet Football. He was the best player ever.
The Greatest Of All Time!

He was a winger, midfielder, striker. He was everything. I do not see any player who is or was better than R9. I do not get tired of watching his videos to see what he did throughout his career. Messi, who? Cr7 who?
Thanks ✋
Ronaldo fenômeno The Best King 👑 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
what's most interesting is the positions Ronaldo took. He played more like a winger and a #10 than he ever played as a striker. His scoring was entirely due to how good he was, not because he camped in the box. I use Ronaldo as the measuring stick of what it means to be a great attacker. If an attacker cannot influence the game outside of the box, I do not consider him great.
You just described exactly why Haaland doesn't even come close to being in the same stratosphere of Ronaldo or any of the great strikers of history
Haaland comes to mind, he would be average in the 90s. Heck even know he’s just a good goalscorer, it’s not like he can take on a man or create plays
@@ubachiuchendu5385disagree tbh, i would Say players like haaland we're more prominente, and a total unit as him would surely be used as a pure 9 of that era like bierhoff, vieri, Batistuta or mid 2000s like Toni, trezeguet or van nistelrooy
@@stevel9627nah that’s stupid. Reling Haaland is a typical 90s type striker
Strong and World Class Finishing his only weakness is technicality
Good criteria to measure by 🫡

The best Ronaldo. The lack of regularity due to injuries prevented him from winning a Champions League.
He also didn't play for Champions League during his best seasons, stuck in UEFA Cup and UEFA Cup Winner. Won the lesser European cups, but still.
How intense he was! I think that was the reason why his injuries.
No doubt do you see players trying to do what he did now a days absolutely no
Yeah if you have that gift to do something crazy like this, of course it comes with the cost 😅
thank you!!! amazing highlights!!!
Having Ronaldo in your team in that era, mentally, means that you're already 1 nil up against any team even before the match started
😂
Yes, there is indeed 1 Ronaldo and this is the most interesting thing: Ronaldo is Ronaldo, CR7 is CR7, they are clearly different, don't compare them.
كلاهما اسطورتين
Keep hating on Cristiano Ronaldo😂😂😂😂
❤❤ CR7
What some people don't know is that the ballon d'or back then was viewed as the best "european" footballer i.e. best footballer on the european fields.
However, it was the fifa award which was seen as the one which determined the best player of the world and he won that before the ballon d'or at Barcelona.
In other words, he was already the best player, factually, during his time in Barcelona.
R9 was phenomenal but my best Brazilian was always Romario who made scoring look effortless!Ronaldo was all about pace,skill and power!
The great thing about footballers from these earlier eras was the ability to stay on their feet when pressured by defence. So many players these days go for the easy penalty whereas these players would do what they could to stay on their feet.
Thats a Big reason why players of that era retired earlier from injuries compared to nowadays, strikers had a harder time with 1-1 making and pressure from tough defenders, that takes a toll in the knees, the challenges were brutal sometimes and rarely You passed through defenderse without a scratch, no matter how skilled or fast You were
He won the ballon d'r award at the age of nineteen, a kid. None have won it at such young age, past 20 years or more
He was 21 years old in 1997. He’s still the youngest ballon d’or Winner to this day.
I was born in mid 2000s but I still knew about R9. He was my favourite player to play with in PES 5, 6 along with Ronaldinho. Too bad he was injury prone in those games
Sentimento lindo, sensacional foi ver Ronaldo, o Fenômeno, atuando em todos os clubes por qual ele desfrutou do seu dom genial, muito bom e emocionante cada partida que tive a oportunidade de acompanhar e torcer p que ele apresentasse o seu melhor nível de jogador, excelente jogador 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
El fenómeno el mejor de la historia, impresionante lo q fue y más en esos años 97,98 era una locura
The BOAT (best of all time). Maybe didn't have the longest peak/career to be the GOAT, but his best was better than anyone else's.

RONALDOOO
He was a strong bodied player but very fast and he knew how to get around defense quite well. Very innovative and had a higher IQ and was relentless.
The thing that set him apart was skill and the burst of energy to cover large distances and score.
Amazing player.
He's teammates were too slow to back him up. He made a lot of easy assists that were not scored. He was playing too fast for his teammates.
Yes, Djorkaeff, Simeone, Kanu and Zamorano were slow players in modern standards. Ronaldo was too fast for them.
Zamorano didn't play for like more than half of the 1997 season too. The only other good attackers were Djorkaeff and Recoba. Djorkaeff wasn't fast and nowhere near top 15 attacker in quality, and Recoba played even less than Zamorano and had piss poor form even in his best seasons.
He was too fast!
yes, the best striker this sport has ever seen.
What a beast. The best ever
Despite is he or not the greatest of all time, and although I’ve been watching almost all of his clips for decades. I still repeat watching and enjoy as if it’s the first time. Not just that, lately, I’d get some snacks ready if not popcorn before watching as if I’m about to watch a Hollywood interesting movie that just came out lol
So the argument of who is the GOAT that ever touches the ball will always be there, very understandable because it could relay on many factors, stats, & circumstances if not people’s favor. But I think the best football ability of all time you can see in a single player and to entertain yourself watching, from the amazing speed, skills, dribble alongside power, to scoring with ease and coolness, all that with effectiveness and productively, will only be the R9.
He is the football movie star!
No wonder his knees exploded.... so much power, just look at his explosiveness , stop and start and intricate turns. His ligaments were working overtime non stop.
Maybe with todays training , physio etc we woukd of seen a longer career
Hes my goat
