Yes! It's Messi. When Messi debuted as a professional wearing the number 30 shirt, Ronaldinho was Barcelona's number 10. Messi, just over 17 years old, was very shy and insecure. Ronaldinho practically adopted him and kept looking for Messi on the field, encouraging him. He took him home, acted as teacher and godfather. The first goal that Messi scored in his career is precisely what happens at the end of this video. Ronaldinho had already tried situations for Messi to score his first goal several times in this game until he managed to get the boy to score. Messi is eternally grateful to Ronaldinho and considers him an idol.
WOW! I had no clue. That makes Ronaldinho so much more awesome to me because I really respect Messi. If Messi looks up to him, that must really mean something. Thanks for all of this info. I need to rewatch the assist now and maybe even the highlights from that specific match. 😱
@@kickinitwithray I enjoyed that and you have good knowledge :). You did miss the crossbar trick after he put on his shoes. He set the ball up and hit the crossbar, it came straight back to him and he chested it down and hit the crossbar AGAIN, deliberately: One thing you MUST learn is the "5-second rewind" button because in some videos(not really this one( so you break the continuity and flow by pausing and when you continue, you may have missed the end of the previous segment or start of the next clip and it will bear no relation to what you are referring to.

Ronaldinho is the most magical player to have ever graced football. No one was as skilled as him. Unfortunately, he lost interest in football quite early. He won everything there was to win: the World Cup, the Champions League, the Ballon d'Or, and more. He became very wealthy and decided to leave the European stage and play purely for fun. Even today, at 43, he continues to play for the sheer joy of it and can be seen in various games around the world. Another Brazilian football genius (for me and many, the best number 9 in history) is 'Ronaldo Fenômeno.' I'm not sure if you've reacted to him playing, but if you haven't, I highly recommend it. He is, by far (alongside Ronaldinho), one of the best the football world has ever seen.
Aprowed he is a witch and I as a fc barcellona fan say, there wasn't any player to cover him. When he plays a match opposite team gave him dubble or even triple cover, and he just smile with that horse teeth passing them like a stones on grass 😂😂😂
He is amazing but as long as Zidane still exist in this dimention you can never say about another player "the most magical". myabe as magical in his owm right.
My favorite thing about Ronaldinho was not just his otherworldly skill, but the infectious enthusiasm he had when he played the game. No matter how big the stage, he played like a little kid who never left his local neighborhood pitch. I'm not surprised to learn from you that he lost interest in the professional game. It probably took the fun out of it for him. He was such a joy to watch. I'm glad to hear he's still playing purely for the love of the sport.
The most skillful player ever. Not the best numbers, not the best career, not the greatest footballer but sure the most charismatic. Glad you liked it. His skills are out of this world.
Ronaldinho for me is the GOAT. There is no player who seemed as magical to me as he did on the field. The ball was like an extension of his body, he was simply UNIQUE.
Roanldinho is arguably the best dribbler Football has ever seen. I think it was 2005 when an interviewer asked England defender John Terry, how do you stop Ronaldinho and Terey replied legally it's impossible. Only way to stop him was to foul him. He was that good.
Garrincha is the greatest dribbler that has ever played the game. I was too young to have seen him play, but I did meet him a few years after he'd retired. What I can say is I have never met a person who had seen his games and not talk with astonishment about Garrincha with the ball. He was a sensation in Sweden during the 58 World Cup, and four years later was considered instrumental in conquering the 1962 World Cup after Pelé was badly injured and out of the games. Of course these conversations I had with various older fans were done in the seventies, about fifty years ago. Not many folks alive nowadays to give testament so I felt compelled to say something. I'm now in my sixties and I can agree that Ronaldinho was a player with an extremely high level of ball control as well as a quick play thinker; two highly valued skills in this game. And yes, possibly the best in the art of dribbling in the last fifty years.
@@marcribe6483 I respect that Sir. I just turned 40 and i have biases towards Diego Maradona. So, i totally understand your point. There are many great players from different eras and it's hard to say who is the absolute best.
Yes that was Messi, Messi started playing for the senior Barcelona team when Ronaldinho was about to leave. Messi's first goal for Barcelona was assisted by Ronaldinho, when Ronaldinho left, Messi took over his number 10 jersey and he did not disappoint.
Ronaldhino transcended football and sports. It was art in motion. The ultimate zamba baller and on the eye/whooooah/wow scale he was on the same level as His Airness, doing shit in every game that really shouldn't be humanly possible and doing it with such beautiful grace. And even if he was having an off or bad night, you just knew that at some point he was going to do some crazy shit, you didn't want to miss. 90s Detroit Lions runningback Barry Sanders comes to mind as well. Just beautiful and wildly exciting to watch. Speaking of... Ronaldhino would have made a Barry Sanders like RB, if that had been his lot in life.
Yeah, Ronaldinho was like Messi's mentor during his time at Barcelona. Ronaldo R9 was also Messi's idol (plus Ronaldinho's too) growing up and be the footballer Messi admited to be better than him. 7:42 If you want to know where he got additional boosts of confidence from; He, together with Ronaldo, won Brazil their 5th World Cup in 2002. Most of what he displayed in the video was after that WC where he perform wonders in many club levels. 19:50 I mean, if you think Ronaldinho is unreal, then I suggest you wait and see his Brazilian 2002 teammates: The Bullet and The Angel, Roberto Carlos and Kaka 🚀👼
Ronaldo R9(Ronaldo phenomenon) from Brazil and Ronaldo R7(Ronaldo "siiuuuu") from Portugal just for the record of those who might not understand which Ronaldo is referring to.
I’ve subscribed to your channel your enthusiasm is infectious. I’m 60 and I’ve been watching Ronaldinho all of his career. In my honest opinion the GREATEST entertainer I have ever seen in football. The best dribbler with both feet, Messi a close second. He could pass a ball with all parts of his body and for me the best acrobatic overhead kick of ALL TIME! Absolutely GENIUS!! Keep up your channel Ray and you are beautiful 🤩 😂
2005 - 2006 was prime Ronaldinho and i have never seen anything like that in my life... He was the kind of player that made you pay the ticket just to see him... He was GOD with a ball at his feet...
Even Nasa can't comprehend this guy. Out of this world. Ronaldinho was and believed me, he still a beast. I literally stopped watching football when he retired and I had been watching football since the 80s
Ronaldino, just unbelievable, one of many who came out of the famed Brazilian team. Went onto Barcelona and promoted Messi, now the worlds best football player. Watch Barcelona, who became the best team in the world in their heyday. Football at its very best and with a trophy room to prove it. If you are into football, there are many ,many great footballers and goal keepers. Thats why football is a world wide phenomenon, nothing comes close.
@@kickinitwithray Well, first, if you like Ronaldinho, you should watch him in one of the videos where he kicks the ball at the top bar of the goal and it comes back straight to him, then he does it again and again fantastic. Some Barcelona games are just epic, probably one of the best teams around at the time of their hey day and have the trophies to prove it. I know because I,ve been to Camp Nou (Barcelonas ground) in Barcelona and seen their trophy room-fantastic! Now the video to watch is :- BARCA, Top 10 most beautiful TIKI TAKA goals. (Tiki Taka is a way to keep the ball while attacking- absolutely brilliant) No I'm not Spanish, just a Brit who loves good football. Enjoy
Great reaction! At 9:38 in your video,right after you talked about Dalas Cowboys,the people applauding is actually the opposing teams supporters..That's how good and admired he was.
And don't forget it was Real Madrid vs Barcelona the arch rivals. I don't remember any player from Barcelona getting a standings ovation from Madristas. Ronnie was that good.
Great reaction! I am glad you like Ronaldinho. He was different, he was a joy to watch... I was watching him play for 13 years. Since he retired I don't like football like before...
Yes Ronaldinho played with Messi. One journalists asked him how it was to be the best player in the world he responded that his young team mate Messi was better than him.
For me personally Ronadldinho and Zidane were the 2 most impressive and entertaining players of the era around the year 2000. While Ronaldinho had the absolute wow effect thanks to his incredible dribbling and teqnichue, Zidane was the complete midfielder who truly had a command of the game with incredible awareness, deceptively good technique and the perfect touch and ball control. Hope you enjoy more fun football moments while watching the greats.
hahahahahaha you have to be French or drunk to say that. Iniesta could eat Zidane any time, Xavi even more and they are just 2 examples, I'm not even going to call for the huge names in football history.
Sure there were many greats throughout history, I was however talking about the time around year 2000s, so Zico and others dont really factor in. And honestly nor Iniesta nor xavi were dudes 1,85 tall, with physical presence who might also head the ball AND have incredible ball control. Zidane could change a team by being there, because he contolled the tempo of a game. Xavi and Iniesta were good, but their quality was underlined by being used in a system that perfectly fit them for their entire careers, most of them with messi btw and that goes for national team as well... oh and btw not French but Czech. Oh and the french gave us what for good couple of times...
@@kickinitwithray Messi already said in an interview that Ronaldinho was one of his teachers and inspirations in football and they still managed to play together from 2004 to 2007
The greatest footballer ever. Maybe not won as much as the guys he inspired, but that's because he always had fun. He never seemed to take it seriously, and it showed. He's the Michael Jackson of football. Even his charity matches are something to watch. I could, and still would watch any game he ever plays in. He destroyed every team he played in England. (Loving your take on his skills, and looking forward to seeing more)
Ronaldinho was a bit of an odd one out. Rather than signing for PSG in his later years, PSG was his first european club and they were the ones who developed him.
8:40 of your video is actually one of the greatest shows of Ronaldinho's charisma and genius. It's not just the opposing team's fans giving him the applause, it's their biggest rival's fans giving him the applause.
You have good observation skills, i've seen some reactions to this same video where the guys had no clue :) I agree with you, Ronaldinho's style is uniq, i doubt it'll be replicated one day. Messi and Ronaldo are great players, the best of the best but Ronaldinho in his prime was an artiste not only a footballer
I remember 2003-2007, those years Ronaldinho was fit. We were going to the Stadium just for him. Sadly after the WC 2006 he changed. Just imagine Ronaldinho fit and Messi together being Messi. They played together 2 seasons in conditions. REM (Ronaldinho-Eto'o-Messi). That was magic.
He was just so naturally gifted, you said "it seems like he worked his butt off all his life", but fun fact is actually he had a short peak of his career because he was always partying lol.. he was just talented, but didn't want to work for it, he enjoyed playing alot but didnt want to go practice and didn't take the game serious at all, he just wanted to have fun and was always smiling, that's why people love him so much.
Very entertaining reaction sista' And you a Cowboys fan too. I just subbed. Me and Ronaldinho are close to the same age. I tried out for the USA Olympic soccer team when I was 15, in Texas but I didn't make it. Growing up I was a Baggio fan and Bebeto fan and was able to watch Brazil play in Dallas in the '94 world cup. Great vid sista👍🏾
Just found you via this video and I'm so proud of the fact you are a Gooner!!!❤❤❤❤ Love seeing the coffee cup but I was proud that before you started the reaction you did some research. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Ronaldinho 🎉 the essence of Joga Bonito!❤ Always with a 😁!!!
18:50 » *_that's_* Messi, wearing shirt 30 when Ronaldinho was wearing 10 (😆) // brazilians just like to _mess_ (ba dum tss 🥁) with argentinians ─ secular feud 😂
tenho muito orgulho de ser da geração que viu o bruxo jogando, simplesmente o maior gênio que meus olhos tiveram a chance de ver jogando, e nao atoa o messi se tornou o q se tornou neh, afinal teve apenas um dos maiores genios do futebol como professor neh srsrsr
Dificilmente vai haver outro jogador com a genialidade e domínio de bola em movimento como o bruxo. Já tiveram e tem hoje bons jogadores com domínio de bola, outros bons batedores de falta, físico e velocidade, etc... Mas o show em campo, ainda não apareceu outro como ele.
10:22 Was his first international goal with the Brazilian National Team. Was against Venezuela. I still remember watching this live. Brazilian commentator was repeating “Look what he did” like 5 times.
Who Ronaldinho is comparable to... No one !! He is and always will be No 1... The Skills , the speed, the rythm, the split-vision, the technique, the flair , the joy and the Entertainment.. Neither Messi or Ronaldo has it ALL and entertains like Ronaldinho did.. !! :) .. others to watch? perhaps react to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo (the Original/1st one...) and Batistuta ?!?
You should react to Jay Jay Okocha. That is one of Ronaldinho's role models. He is from Nigeria and is one of the greatest footballers to ever play on the pitch. You will see similarities between his gameplay and Ronaldinho's
Omg how embarrassing!!! I didn’t realize at all that’s what was happening lol 😭 my computer screen is kind of small, so I feel like I miss things a lot. OOPS
Ronaldinho is my nr 1, for the reason that he was always smiling, have a true love for the sport, is a super talented player, and has won all 9 major trophies, but he had a love for partying and drinking too, which led to a shorter prime... he was also Messi's montor, had the assist on Messi's first goal for Barcelona, and even handed down the nr 10 shirt to Messi, as u would pass a torch to another, when he stopped... many players train something else on the side, like Ronaldinho also being a Samba dancer, or Zlatan Ibrahimović also doing kickboxing training... PS: u can watch games from football, online...
Yes I love players that truly love the sport. It’s shows on and off the pitch. Sad to hear about the partying but I guess no one is perfect! Thanks for the last tip!
He not only played with Messi, he also helped Messi in his start in Barcelona, and Messi said he would care about Neymar just Ronaldinho did to him. As you can imagine, they are all good friends.
hes is my favorite player of all time . his prime was at barcelona i erally do not like tha tteam but woke up everymorning to watch barcelona just to watch him . he even played against real madrid vs barcelona which is equivalent of watching celtics vs lakers , and he had the whole opposing team stadium clapping for him when he scored against them thats how good and how much respect people had for him
Defenders usually get mad when someone plays them like that but not whith Ronaldinho, he wasn't a show off, he was just too good, so being "humiliated" by dinho was not really humiliating, he was wonderfull and it was beautifull to watch him play. Unforgetable.
The scary thing is that Ronaldinho played in the same brazil team as R9. They were known as the 3 R's, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo. This was a terrifying strike force to play against. In the same squad was a left back by the name of Roberto Carlos, one of the best ever in his position, you should check him out too. Btw have a new sub 😊
Ronaldinho is far above any other player, in pure skills. Most players do does things at training, but he did it against the greatest defenders of our time. Small clubs, big ones, he didn't care. Grass, on the beach, indoors, even in prison, he breaths football. He partied a bit too much, but he had a great career. People confuse topscoring and trophies with being the best. When I was 9 Romario came to our club as a 18nyr old, few years later The Ronaldo came, I have seen greatness weekly. But Ronaldinho will always be my nr1. That chip goal at Gremio, how insane was that. It looks so easy. It's not.
There was a short video series not a lot of people know of called "joga bonito" of highligts of players skills and it was of that era where football was playfull and fun.
My suggestion for your next Brazilian footballer is Roberto Carlos, he's a defender, a left back to be precise and... well, you'll see 😁 My recommended vid for him would be: 1/Roberto Carlos was An Absolute Monster 2/Roberto Carlos Best Goals in career (Alex JE)
Respeito o Messi assim como o Cristiano Ronaldo, não é porque sou Brasileiro mais como o Ronaldinho ninguém conseguirá nem se aproximar do Ronaldinho jogava com prazer a magia a alegria a técnica o brilho a inteligência nunca nascerá um igual,
Ronaldinho Gaúcho is the embodiment and definition of pure effortless TALENT, so forget about messi, Cristina ronaldo, merdadona and all of those other hacks!!! Ronaldinho is the GOD OF GOATS!!!
Ronaldinho Gaúcho showed the people in color what Garrincha showed the people in black and white decades prior. The true joy of football mixed with world class talent and dribbling skills
His career technically ended in 2018. But a player's career is usually considered to be over if they stop playing for a European club in a high league. I really don't know when he left Milan, maybe 2013. I didn't see much of him after 2011.
He went back to Brazil and won a national championship + the "Libertadores the America", which is the Champions League for South American clubs. Finally he wen to Mexico, but he was already paying more attention to the parties. I don't blame him.
I remember when I was a kid everyone wanted to be Ronaldinho, and if you ask someone around my age (30) in Spain to chose between messi, cristiano and Ronaldinho prime probably almost everyone will say Ronaldinho, that dude was crazy. Everyone loved him so much that even in one time he got an applause from Real Madrid fans at Bernabeu. Also for Barsa fans he is like a god (for some older fans at the level or more than messi), he is the one who make the barsa the team it is today.
I believe his prime was short lived due to him acquiring every major trophy there is, he liked to party and drink a lot, and yet he got them all To me he is the greatest.
Oh yeah, he definitely is, watched him playing in my team, this guy was just crazy. He's the most skillful player in the story. Not the best career, not the best player of all time, but nobody can deny his skill
The most beautiful video on UA-cam is actually Brother from another mother Messi & Ronaldinho, it’s a bit like a documentary of how insecure Messi was in his younger years and ronaldinho and the other Brazilians took care of him to feel like home. It’s beautiful
I know that people all over the World celebrating Messi, Ronaldo,among others, but footballing -wise Ronaldinho takes the Crown for me. He was the greatest i ever seen ( I'm 59 now, and i saw most of the greatest ever in this beautyfull Game. Likes like Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller , Johann Cruyf, the great brasiliens Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Neymar, italiens like Baresi, Totti, argentiniens like Maradona, Messi, Mario Kempes,Di Maria, frensh like Marius Tresor, Platini and Zidane among other greats) . I follow the World cups sinnce 1970 ( at age 6 ) until now. Sure it is a subjektiv view....but for me as a all time Football lover Ronaldinho takes the Cake. Kind regards from Berlin / Germany
Thank you for tuning in from Berlin! Love to hear your take as someone who has been watching the beautiful game for several years. You have had the pleasure to watch a lot of greats in football. Very jealous!
@@kickinitwithray Well , but there are many more to come. Who Know what kind of player you will see, and i'am not. So you are a very charming Lady, and i will follow you're journey here on UA-cam. Have a nice Day. Kind regards from Berlin.
A American girl saying football instead of soccer… that’s nice!! Please react to Rogério Ceni! A goalkeeper that scored more than 100 goals… and probably the best Brazilian goalkeeper of all times.
6:17 😂😂😂 Ronaldinho made us all love Football even more than before. But it‘s the opposite of what you just said. If Ronaldinho would have had even an inch of professionalism, we wouldn’t have the discussion on who the goat is, CR7 or Messi. Ronaldinho has been one of the laziest and unprofessional footballers of all time. He is, arguably, the most gifted player to ever walk the field and is the best example, that sometimes just talent is enough to make it to the top. He is 1 out if 8 billions. One of his kind. He loves Football, Food, Alkohol and Parties and we all love him for that. Messi has a lot of haters, so has Cristiano Ronaldo. I don‘t think any person on this planet hates Ronaldinho (except Real Madrid and Chelsea Fans ;))
Before Lionel Messi became a professional football player, Ronaldinho was a owner 10 t-shirt from Barcelona team and both play together for little time. Ronaldinho was a great inspiration for Messi.
No comparison, as southamerican I follow the football from Pele's time until today, and I never saw a better player completely full of skills than Ronaldinho. He is the best.
This Americans cashing in on football with basically the rest of the world that is on UA-cam, are very smart. We're at least 20% of the audience of most major American youtubers anyway right? We have to be.

Yes Ronaldinho played with Messi. One journalists asked him how it was to be the best player in the world he responded that his young team mate Messi was better than him.
@@69Tiburoncito He said Messi it will be the greatest...
For me personally Ronadldinho and Zidane were the 2 most impressive and entertaining players of the era around the year 2000. While Ronaldinho had the absolute wow effect thanks to his incredible dribbling and teqnichue, Zidane was the complete midfielder who truly had a command of the game with incredible awareness, deceptively good technique and the perfect touch and ball control. Hope you enjoy more fun football moments while watching the greats.
hahahahahaha you have to be French or drunk to say that. Iniesta could eat Zidane any time, Xavi even more and they are just 2 examples, I'm not even going to call for the huge names in football history.
Sure there were many greats throughout history, I was however talking about the time around year 2000s, so Zico and others dont really factor in. And honestly nor Iniesta nor xavi were dudes 1,85 tall, with physical presence who might also head the ball AND have incredible ball control. Zidane could change a team by being there, because he contolled the tempo of a game. Xavi and Iniesta were good, but their quality was underlined by being used in a system that perfectly fit them for their entire careers, most of them with messi btw and that goes for national team as well... oh and btw not French but Czech. Oh and the french gave us what for good couple of times...
Ronaldinho is One of the deffinition of being Brazilian 🇧🇷
He actually is the best player the game has ever produced, we really are lucky to have seen these guys while we watched...
Its only a second but at the end of the video, Ronaldinho knows that Messi Scores. Look at Dinhos smile. He smile and then scored Messi.
18:51 Ronaldinho assisted Messi his first ever goal in his career. Back in 2004/05 season.
I had no clue!!!! That is so awesome. Im going to watch the highlights from that match. 🎉
@@kickinitwithray Messi already said in an interview that Ronaldinho was one of his teachers and inspirations in football and they still managed to play together from 2004 to 2007
the most skilled player ever about creativity !
Yessss!!!!
The greatest footballer ever. Maybe not won as much as the guys he inspired, but that's because he always had fun. He never seemed to take it seriously, and it showed. He's the Michael Jackson of football. Even his charity matches are something to watch. I could, and still would watch any game he ever plays in. He destroyed every team he played in England. (Loving your take on his skills, and looking forward to seeing more)
Ronaldinho made me fall in love with football. I watched him play for 13 years and I feel it wasn't enough...
Ronaldinho was a bit of an odd one out. Rather than signing for PSG in his later years, PSG was his first european club and they were the ones who developed him.
8:40 of your video is actually one of the greatest shows of Ronaldinho's charisma and genius. It's not just the opposing team's fans giving him the applause, it's their biggest rival's fans giving him the applause.
Applause from rival fans says a lot 🤯
Nossos jogadores brasileiros são diferenciados para nos futebol e arte! Não basta fazer gol tem que dar show ❤!
Yes, Ronaldinho and Messi did play together for Barcelona. Quite a daunting proposition for any opponents!
I can’t imagine!!!! I’m so sad I missed out on watching these legends play together…
You have good observation skills, i've seen some reactions to this same video where the guys had no clue :)
I agree with you, Ronaldinho's style is uniq, i doubt it'll be replicated one day. Messi and Ronaldo are great players, the best of the best but Ronaldinho in his prime was an artiste not only a footballer
I remember 2003-2007, those years Ronaldinho was fit. We were going to the Stadium just for him. Sadly after the WC 2006 he changed. Just imagine Ronaldinho fit and Messi together being Messi. They played together 2 seasons in conditions. REM (Ronaldinho-Eto'o-Messi). That was magic.
He was just so naturally gifted, you said "it seems like he worked his butt off all his life", but fun fact is actually he had a short peak of his career because he was always partying lol.. he was just talented, but didn't want to work for it, he enjoyed playing alot but didnt want to go practice and didn't take the game serious at all, he just wanted to have fun and was always smiling, that's why people love him so much.
he's the most skillful player in football history
Very entertaining reaction sista' And you a Cowboys fan too. I just subbed. Me and Ronaldinho are close to the same age. I tried out for the USA Olympic soccer team when I was 15, in Texas but I didn't make it. Growing up I was a Baggio fan and Bebeto fan and was able to watch Brazil play in Dallas in the '94 world cup. Great vid sista👍🏾
Normally, people wanna see goals on football..but during ronaldinho time, people more exited to see him pull some nasty skill than the goal😂
Thts totally true, people were more eager to see him pull out a crazy skill than a goal.
His turn of speed is crazy as well... Not only does he have technique to open spaces, but then he immediately explodes into them
Just found you via this video and I'm so proud of the fact you are a Gooner!!!❤❤❤❤ Love seeing the coffee cup but I was proud that before you started the reaction you did some research. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ronaldinho 🎉 the essence of Joga Bonito!❤
Always with a 😁!!!
18:50 » *_that's_* Messi, wearing shirt 30 when Ronaldinho was wearing 10 (😆) // brazilians just like to _mess_ (ba dum tss 🥁) with argentinians ─ secular feud 😂
That’s amazing! 😂
Ronaldinho is the father of Messi in the football 🔥
That’s amazing!!!
He was Messi's mentor, but still my opinion is the student still didn't beat the master Ronaldinho!❤ The goat!!❤
Love that he was his mentor! It makes perfect sense!
Nos amamos Ronaldinho mais não fala isso.
Messi succeeded the master because Messi did what everyone thought Ronaldinho would do. Be the greatest football player for over a decade
@@kickinitwithray if you like this, you should watch Pélé, Diégo Maradonna or Johan Cruijf
I was there for his prime, a joy to watch, greatest entertainer ever
EM TERMOS DE GENIALIDADE, ELE É SIMPLESMENTE O ÚLTIMO GRANDE JOGADOR QUE O MUNDO JÁ VIU EM AÇÃO. Depois dele, só existem as cópias famosas.
tenho muito orgulho de ser da geração que viu o bruxo jogando, simplesmente o maior gênio que meus olhos tiveram a chance de ver jogando, e nao atoa o messi se tornou o q se tornou neh, afinal teve apenas um dos maiores genios do futebol como professor neh srsrsr
@@geozafakoy1806
Em 2005, este homem foi o primeiro a FAZER A TORCIDA MERENGUE DOS GALÁTICOS, APLAUDIR O BARÇA DE PÉ, DENTRO DO BERNABÉU.
Dificilmente vai haver outro jogador com a genialidade e domínio de bola em movimento como o bruxo. Já tiveram e tem hoje bons jogadores com domínio de bola, outros bons batedores de falta, físico e velocidade, etc... Mas o show em campo, ainda não apareceu outro como ele.
O jogador mais habilidoso que vi em toda minha vida. Foi campeão do mundo e melhor jogador nos anos 2005, 2006 e 2007.
10:22 Was his first international goal with the Brazilian National Team.
Was against Venezuela.
I still remember watching this live.
Brazilian commentator was repeating “Look what he did” like 5 times.
Who Ronaldinho is comparable to... No one !! He is and always will be No 1... The Skills , the speed, the rythm, the split-vision, the technique, the flair , the joy and the Entertainment.. Neither Messi or Ronaldo has it ALL and entertains like Ronaldinho did.. !! :) .. others to watch? perhaps react to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo (the Original/1st one...) and Batistuta ?!?
Mágico Ronaldinho joga muito parabéns morena 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
You should react to Jay Jay Okocha. That is one of Ronaldinho's role models. He is from Nigeria and is one of the greatest footballers to ever play on the pitch. You will see similarities between his gameplay and Ronaldinho's
Would love to watch who inspired him. Added him to my list, thank you!
El maestro de Messi 🥳👏. La inspiración. El alma del fútbol, no puedes andar por la vida sin conocer a Dinho. Sol, playa, arena y un balón= Ronaldinho
8:05 Ronaldinho passing it to himself, by kicking it to the crossbar, 3 times in row !!
Ray's reaction:
Omg how embarrassing!!! I didn’t realize at all that’s what was happening lol 😭 my computer screen is kind of small, so I feel like I miss things a lot. OOPS
It is fake. It was Nike commercial
Subscribed!! Great reaction to Ronaldinho....my favorite footballer of all time.
Thank you for subscribing!!! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Ronaldinho is my nr 1, for the reason that he was always smiling, have a true love for the sport, is a super talented player, and has won all 9 major trophies, but he had a love for partying and drinking too, which led to a shorter prime... he was also Messi's montor, had the assist on Messi's first goal for Barcelona, and even handed down the nr 10 shirt to Messi, as u would pass a torch to another, when he stopped... many players train something else on the side, like Ronaldinho also being a Samba dancer, or Zlatan Ibrahimović also doing kickboxing training... PS: u can watch games from football, online...
Yes I love players that truly love the sport. It’s shows on and off the pitch. Sad to hear about the partying but I guess no one is perfect! Thanks for the last tip!
Ronaldinho: "The wizard", "El Brujo", "Messi's teacher"!
He not only played with Messi, he also helped Messi in his start in Barcelona, and Messi said he would care about Neymar just Ronaldinho did to him.
As you can imagine, they are all good friends.
Oh I had no clue about Neymar and Messi! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
hes is my favorite player of all time . his prime was at barcelona i erally do not like tha tteam but woke up everymorning to watch barcelona just to watch him . he even played against real madrid vs barcelona which is equivalent of watching celtics vs lakers , and he had the whole opposing team stadium clapping for him when he scored against them thats how good and how much respect people had for him
Defenders usually get mad when someone plays them like that but not whith Ronaldinho, he wasn't a show off, he was just too good, so being "humiliated" by dinho was not really humiliating, he was wonderfull and it was beautifull to watch him play. Unforgetable.
90s+ 00s football fostered many legendary characters
This dude was explosive and entertaining
Ronaldinho was Messi 's Master! Nice reaction!
Thanks so much!
when i was 15 yo he was my god . still i belive nobody can be like him . best of bests
para mim o melhor HABILIDOSO da HISTORIA DO FUTEBOL. parabens pelo canal felicitaçao!!!!!!! salve desde RIO DE JANEIRO BRASIL
Ronnie had the most flair I've ever seen in a player my GOAT.
He's "Dancing" with the Opponents on another Level
The scary thing is that Ronaldinho played in the same brazil team as R9. They were known as the 3 R's, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo. This was a terrifying strike force to play against.
In the same squad was a left back by the name of Roberto Carlos, one of the best ever in his position, you should check him out too.
Btw have a new sub 😊
Ronaldinho is far above any other player, in pure skills. Most players do does things at training, but he did it against the greatest defenders of our time. Small clubs, big ones, he didn't care. Grass, on the beach, indoors, even in prison, he breaths football.
He partied a bit too much, but he had a great career. People confuse topscoring and trophies with being the best.
When I was 9 Romario came to our club as a 18nyr old, few years later The Ronaldo came, I have seen greatness weekly.
But Ronaldinho will always be my nr1. That chip goal at Gremio, how insane was that. It looks so easy. It's not.
For me and for millions Ronaldinho is considered as the best footballer that has ever lived
There was a short video series not a lot of people know of called "joga bonito" of highligts of players skills and it was of that era where football was playfull and fun.
World class defenders looked like little kids when he dribbled between them
My suggestion for your next Brazilian footballer is Roberto Carlos, he's a defender, a left back to be precise and... well, you'll see 😁 My recommended vid for him would be:
1/Roberto Carlos was An Absolute Monster
2/Roberto Carlos Best Goals in career (Alex JE)
yess hes my favorite saw him play 3 times, what a treat.
Respeito o Messi assim como o Cristiano Ronaldo, não é porque sou Brasileiro mais como o Ronaldinho ninguém conseguirá nem se aproximar do Ronaldinho jogava com prazer a magia a alegria a técnica o brilho a inteligência nunca nascerá um igual,
I love how everybody just need to watch Ronaldinho touching the ball for like 10 seconds to understand dude is a beast.
That's Ronaldinho for you. Still goes to show, 20k views in 7 days: Ronaldinho is still popular amongst the upcoming generation (as he should)
Definitely, AS HE SHOULD! So much respect.
Ronaldinho Gaúcho is the embodiment and definition of pure effortless TALENT, so forget about messi, Cristina ronaldo, merdadona and all of those other hacks!!! Ronaldinho is the GOD OF GOATS!!!
Yeah Ronaldinho is better talent wise, but consistency also plays a huge role when in comes to being the G.O.A.T
Ronaldinho Gaúcho showed the people in color what Garrincha showed the people in black and white decades prior. The true joy of football mixed with world class talent and dribbling skills
You can say lady. His skills are different and better than every player that you saw. He's the most skillful player alive.
The best thing about your reactions is that you actually read up before you react. You do not react from ignorance. Admirable.
The legendary playmaker 10 in history of football . From him Messi took lessions😊
His career technically ended in 2018. But a player's career is usually considered to be over if they stop playing for a European club in a high league. I really don't know when he left Milan, maybe 2013. I didn't see much of him after 2011.
He went back to Brazil and won a national championship + the "Libertadores the America", which is the Champions League for South American clubs. Finally he wen to Mexico, but he was already paying more attention to the parties. I don't blame him.
This is why Gerrard is the ultimate midfielder in football. You should react to this
I’ve never heard of Gerrard. I’ll add him to my list!
I remember when I was a kid everyone wanted to be Ronaldinho, and if you ask someone around my age (30) in Spain to chose between messi, cristiano and Ronaldinho prime probably almost everyone will say Ronaldinho, that dude was crazy. Everyone loved him so much that even in one time he got an applause from Real Madrid fans at Bernabeu.
Also for Barsa fans he is like a god (for some older fans at the level or more than messi), he is the one who make the barsa the team it is today.
That is so amazing!!!!! Hearing that even his rivals cheered for him just blows my mind. He is truly a LEGEND.
I believe his prime was short lived due to him acquiring every major trophy there is, he liked to party and drink a lot, and yet he got them all
To me he is the greatest.
hey, i'm a dallas cowboys fan from Brazil too, nice reaction!
Some great footballers worked their asses off to be good at football.
What Ronaldinho had was a gift from God. What he had, you don't coach.
Such a great way to put it. He was truly gifted!
Oh yeah, he definitely is, watched him playing in my team, this guy was just crazy. He's the most skillful player in the story. Not the best career, not the best player of all time, but nobody can deny his skill
Yes! Crazy is the perfect way to put it. I’m still shocked at the highlights! 🤯
The most beautiful video on UA-cam is actually Brother from another mother Messi & Ronaldinho, it’s a bit like a documentary of how insecure Messi was in his younger years and ronaldinho and the other Brazilians took care of him to feel like home. It’s beautiful
ua-cam.com/video/kKegnCRRT6I/v-deo.htmlsi=VMFKClqSpOschL8r
I’m excited to check this out! Thank you!
This man did jail time with a smile and still entertained.
I know that people all over the World celebrating Messi, Ronaldo,among others, but footballing -wise Ronaldinho takes the Crown for me. He was the greatest i ever seen ( I'm 59 now, and i saw most of the greatest ever in this beautyfull Game. Likes like Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller , Johann Cruyf, the great brasiliens Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Neymar, italiens like Baresi, Totti, argentiniens like Maradona, Messi, Mario Kempes,Di Maria, frensh like Marius Tresor, Platini and Zidane among other greats) . I follow the World cups sinnce 1970 ( at age 6 ) until now. Sure it is a subjektiv view....but for me as a all time Football lover Ronaldinho takes the Cake. Kind regards from Berlin / Germany
Thank you for tuning in from Berlin! Love to hear your take as someone who has been watching the beautiful game for several years. You have had the pleasure to watch a lot of greats in football. Very jealous!
@@kickinitwithray Well , but there are many more to come. Who Know what kind of player you will see, and i'am not. So you are a very charming Lady, and i will follow you're journey here on UA-cam. Have a nice Day. Kind regards from Berlin.
Cristiano Ronaldo 50 Legendary Goals Impossible To Forget
During Ronaldinhos tricks with the ball surrounding by a couple of kids, “One of those kids” at 09:59 is Lionel Messi
12:22 Yes he was older and that was a cherity match playing for Barcelona legends.
A American girl saying football instead of soccer… that’s nice!! Please react to Rogério Ceni! A goalkeeper that scored more than 100 goals… and probably the best Brazilian goalkeeper of all times.
Amazing!!! I’m adding him to my list now… thank you for the recommendation! 🙏🏽
Ronaldinho was Messi masters! they played together in Barcelona in the beginning of Messi career....
Ronaldinho is awesome
YES HE IS
6:17 😂😂😂 Ronaldinho made us all love Football even more than before. But it‘s the opposite of what you just said. If Ronaldinho would have had even an inch of professionalism, we wouldn’t have the discussion on who the goat is, CR7 or Messi.
Ronaldinho has been one of the laziest and unprofessional footballers of all time. He is, arguably, the most gifted player to ever walk the field and is the best example, that sometimes just talent is enough to make it to the top. He is 1 out if 8 billions. One of his kind. He loves Football, Food, Alkohol and Parties and we all love him for that.
Messi has a lot of haters, so has Cristiano Ronaldo. I don‘t think any person on this planet hates Ronaldinho (except Real Madrid and Chelsea Fans ;))
Before Lionel Messi became a professional football player, Ronaldinho was a owner 10 t-shirt from Barcelona team and both play together for little time. Ronaldinho was a great inspiration for Messi.
No comparison, as southamerican I follow the football from Pele's time until today, and I never saw a better player completely full of skills than Ronaldinho. He is the best.
that last cut was Ronaldinho assisting Messi's 1st goal for Barcelona
Yes Ronaldinho Missy and played together 2 seasons at Barcelona and guess what? … at 9:56 that little kid at the left was Missy 😊😊
You said you nerver ever seen something like that, and probably it will be 50 years or even more to be someone like him before in soccer again.
A magician at work there's nobody like him and yes that was Messi they played together he was Messi's teacher
Ronaldinho is comparable to nobody, the true GOAT
The one where you thought he was older was a charity match they hold every year between celebrities and ex pros for unicef in the uk
And you are a gunner🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️ I’m sold 😂
This Americans cashing in on football with basically the rest of the world that is on UA-cam, are very smart.
We're at least 20% of the audience of most major American youtubers anyway right? We have to be.
