R9 without training was the best player in the world at 19 years old! Hes simply the greatest player in football history. Imagine without injuries and actual training? And he achieved this while playing in the greatest and most competitive era in football history: 90s-2000s. Ill stop right there, its just not fair for any human.......or alien. 👽🏆🥇⚽️🇧🇷
I love him and he is one of the best players oat, but he is more like a "what if". Even before his injuries, he never reached the same level as Messi in his prime
even with injuries he is regarded as the best striker of all time.. for me he is always one of the top 5.. coming to 'actual training'- I think he was beautiful because the way he used to enjoy the game.. its the Brazilian way.. flamboyant and samba..
in R9's prime?.. the best ever for sure.. better than even Maradona.. 1 season in PSV 1 in barca and 1 in inter.. these 3 seasons of R9 can be termed as ultimate footballing perfection for a football player..@@ModernFootball866
R9 never reach his prime. What we saw in Barcelona and 1st season in intermilan is just teaser. But sad, he was injury before we witness R9 full form. So sad so sad. The true GOAT is R9. His biggest mistake is went to Italy.
sadly, but the truth is we never saw his prime....can not say 19, 20 yrs old as primen.....he never reached his actual prime which is around 27 ish for most of soccer player......having said that, things he achieved after career ending injuries many times showed clearly he could have certainly for sure the greatest the best player ever laced soccer shoes......just Fenomeno it was.....
I've come to the conclusion , people who understand football deeply also understand that R9 is the GOAT. Meanwhile others who are still in the process of growing will think the goat is whoever player is doing the best at the present time.
BS. I think R9 was fantastic, I was there to see him play......and his legend is being blown out of proportion. He was impressive because he dribbled at high speeds and was super direct towards goal. But that's not the ONLY way to be good at football. He stands out from his peers because of his speed dribbling. Even Romario, from Brazil too, for me is a better 9.....and people always forgot him. Your comment is based on the simplistic football narratives. And people like you ALWAYS have to teach others who the "GOAT"s are. You know Zidane was great...but you have no clue how close Rui Costa and othesr were to him at the time. You hear of two season that were good with Ronaldinho and think he also needs to be a GOAT...... R9 was great...but he had his carreer cut short.
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502- You know better than Mourinho, Seedhof, Maldini, Nesta, Buffon, Zidane, Henry I can go on. Every striker of is generation call him the greatest striker of all time.

Yet, you keyboard warriors that create your own narratives and pretend as if you know more than the entire generation of managers that played and managed him is laughable. You seem to lack the basic ability to make th distinction between ability and application. Instead you think all Ronaldo did was dribble at high speed. Madness 😂😂
@@embisonjones4996 You are the one that are conflating ability with being the best. It's not. Also, I don't care about those names. As if being good at football made you a good judge.

Ask Zidane what he thinks about Eusaebio or Buffon. Ask them about Romario. Gimme a break pleb.
R9 is the best ever. Period. It's unfortunate that people nowadays don't really know how superior he was in every human/alien way possible. Getting the golden boot after injuring both knees and a double in the WC Final vs Oliver Kahn who was almost unbeatable is just another level . The G.O.A.T

Messi came from barcelona academy, play the style of barcelona, mentored by ronaldinho, xavi, iniesta, having played for the first team since he was 16, 3 years later at 19 destroying madrid with a hat-trick and ankara messi to getafe. On the other side though, 19 yers old R9 just arrived at barca the day before spanish super cup vs atletico with no time to adapt after coming from lesser league, no 3 years of ronaldinho and co mentoring, never in the la masia, AND SCORED 2 GOALS IN THE SPANISH SUPER CUP WHILE STILL HAVING JET LAG. THAT'S WHY A MANAGER AT MOURINHO STATURE SAID IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER "CRAZY, CRAZY,CRAZY" "THE BEST PLAYER I'VE SEEN ON THE PITCH". Wins FIFA POTY at 20 (youngest recipient ever) wins BALON D'OR at 21 (also youngest recipient ever). At 23 BLOW his pattelar tendon fyi thats the tendon that holds your knee cap and the doctor said his knee cap was up in the mid of his thigh when he they do the surgery. The cause is his body can't handle the explosiveness that he generates every time he runs/dribble. That kind of injury reduce his then potential for being the GOAT to the best striker of all time.
The talent that R9 was born with is madness That guy was like a glitch from the universe that has to be corrected by injuries .. I saw them all till current generation . R9 b4 serious knee injuries without training as Jose said b4 23 was the best ability I have ever seen in this game
Im 40 years old ive seen football ive seen r9 playing there is no one like him people need to see a game of r9 playing at his best to see what he can do i cant compare anyone to him
R9 was like a wild horse.. force of the nature.. you can’t compare him with the likes of messi Cr7 or mbappe.. they went through rigorous methodical training and achieved everything in the game.. but if you put R9 or maradona in systematic training they will be dumbfuck product..
People who really really actually understand football know that R9 is the best footballer ever. Every manager and player says the same thing. I’ll name a few who state this. Also I think these players and managers know ball better than fanboys. Mourinho Pep Bobby Robson Zidane Seedorf Zlatan Benzema Buffon Cafu Roberto Carlos Ronaldinho Kaka Maldini Nesta Eto Ruud van Vieri Klose Zico Henry
Before Ronaldo, Romario played for PSV. Ronaldos arrival at PSV was less special for us because we already saw the Brazilian style with Romario for 5 years. Before Romario, there was young Maradonna dribbling for Napoli. Doing things nobody ever done before. Ronaldo one of the greats. No doubts. But Maradonna, Romario made far more impact on the game in my experience. Later on Ronaldinho became a true wizard
@@petermulder7480 you're the first dutch I heard say that. I heard van der vart say himself that for the fans it's ronaldo, romario then farfan..and he said that on tv to peruvian reporter. I think you like Maradona and romario better, bur 11 ronaldos vs 11 maradonas, and its a slaughter. same with romario, but romario would probably be a closer score...
if you think messi is the first false 9, man you have a lot to learn. I think Messi is one of the greatest offensive players and one of most gifted handling a ball. That's undisputed, but he has not impacted the actual sport. I think Holland of the 70's did, perhaps Pele made the 10 position look spectacular and inspired 10's for the rest of the sport's history. But change it? i dont know? Im a sport enthusiast and Ive seen tons of fooatge of legends and Im still in my search for the guys that changed the game, kind of like Oscar robertson in basketball. All that being said, I think messi is the best player since prime kaka, dinho and cristiano in man u. He has benefited from a cleaner game, like a lot of offensive players have ( retiring close to 40), and he is fitting for the era@@markfish1113
Ronaldo was the definition of gifted, he was tall , janky and balanced, he was strong as insanely quick, so agile and smart, if he didn't get that many injuries or get hypothyroidism, there wouldn't be a debate for the greatest ever, i myself believe that even with Messi, Cristiano, Pelé, Maradona, Di Stefano, Puskas, Ronaldinho, abd the others playes . Ronaldo still is the greatest ever.
purtroppo gli infortuni hanno limitato il tempo! ma non la grandezza di un giocatore straordinario ! il mio preferito di sempre e per sempre! RONALDO R9
Yeah, that's like an artist it's not that he paints paintings to copy nature but to shape it and evoke a feeling. R9 was an artist. Where if football has an emblem like NBA. He would be the poster boy because it's just beautiful what he did.❤
Messi had 91 goals in 2012 calender year and had many better seasons than that one season by Ronaldo. Same goes for Cristiano Ronaldo. But R9 is definitely the greatest striker of all time. Mbappé is very reminiscent of him.

I find very interesting when the current generation of soccer fans say thar CR7 or Messi are the best players of all times. They clearly don`t know much about the game. At the same time, it is understandable, as it is easier to see what`s happening now than to find videos of R9 on youtube and make clear comparisons. You can only tell the difference if you actually saw R9 playing and you see whats happening today. R9 is the real G.O.A.T(period)
R9 was the Goat , he was able to dribble 5 players at a time as if he was toying all of em in one go and such an amazing finisher , I have been watching football since the 90s and I haven't seen anyone like him , though his career was cut short due to injuries but it was always captivating to see him play and make defenders look like helpless worthless lol
You know which crazy statistic R9 has? No other player in history of football scored more goals after outplaying the goalkeeper. Think about that one for a second.
How a news anchor introduced him in my country : "Football now, the shortest path from point A to point B is...a straight line." *Cuts to R9 running through 4 defenders on a 50m solo goal. I spent the rest of the day in disbelief.
I got a first glimpse at R9 on Nintendo 64 where his name was Allejo. Then I watched him during the Atlanta 96 Olympics and in Barcelona in 1996. I have not seen anything like him before and after then
Bobby Robson is one of the godfathers of football. Inspiring managers like Jose, Pepe and inviting Sir Alex to training sessions showing people globally the art of football.
im convinced that if there was ever a brazilian player with talent AND discipline they would be unstoppable, meaning no laziness, no excess party or drinking. That'd be a sight to behold.
Na F1 existiu, Ayrton Senna. Infelizmente os jogadores de futebol do Brasil vem das favelas, a maioria deles não tem qualquer educação ou disciplina, o maior exemplo é Neymar
Os melhores jogadores, tecnicos, etc dizem que Ronaldo foi o maior que ja viram, e para mim tb, nunca vi um jogador TAO talentoso e intimidador como o Fenomeno. Messi e Cristiano Ronaldo, são mais longínquos e "focados" mas no talento natural, ninguem supera o Fenomeno.
I love the way he says Mr Robson,But Ronaldo was a genius.Every time he was one on one with the keeper you knew the out come, Injury cost him and the football lovers worldwide so much more
Why Ronaldo Is Called The Phenomenon ! It's not real when ppl say that a player carreer is over just because he left Europe to play elsewhere. Like Ronaldo at Corintians, Ronaldinho also was still really good when he was playing at Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro when he left Europe, Marcelo and Felipe Melo just won the '' champions league '' equivalent for Fluminense on South America and Cristiano Ronaldo is still doing the best in Saudi league. So no, leaving Europe does not mean your carreer is over nor does mean youre not a good player anymore . Best 9 i've ever seen in my life Ronaldo. amazing dance at world cup 98 . Ronaldo is not just phenomenon . so humble,good person and funniest too. Ronaldo is the best ever for ever!
I watched a reel of mourinho talk about r9 and I search in the UA-cam about r9 goals and skill iam tottally crazy 😮why this guy is very very underatted for my generation i didn’t nowhere see like that type of skills

@@thebengalurubong2047 He had changed his playing style when he was in Madrid and Milan. You will find the more exciting R9 by watching his reels in PSV, Barca and the first season in Inter.
Mourinho always said, that Ronaldo was the most brilliant player he'd seen on a football field. Even after all these years. You can *_still_* see in his facial expressions, how much Ronaldo blew his mind back then. Zidane & Seedorf have said, that he was the best player they'd played with & that he did things in training, they'd never seen before or since. Injuries cruely robbed him off his full potential, *_fully_* unloaded. I think his game was a tad route-one & lacked the variation that Pelé - Cruyff -Maradona-Messi, had to their game. Therefore, I'd rank him slightly below those players. All players, i was lucky to have watched, when they were still playing. Messi of course, still going strong.
R9 has fully loaded whatever he could winning everything he wanted... Even the Ucl while at ac milan Ancelotti mentioned... His 4 years of prime from psv barca and Inter is still unmatched together with his 98 & 2002 WC performance... Only maradona and zizou has individual brilliance that matches r9..
I can't put anyone above D10S Maradona. Never seen anything like him. It's as if God's spirit had transcended his physical body, placed a football at his feet and said, "it will obey your every command just talk to it". Maradona gliding on grass and cutting through players as if they weren't there was POETRY in motion. I am sorry but no one could make a football so subservient like DM did. There is Maradona, then a blank space and then everyone else.
@@aqeelyousuf31 Messi's the best controller of a moving ball on the ground I've ever seen. Especially in tight spots, with numerous bodies around him, to stop him.

When numerous oppostional bodies got around Maradona, he struggled ( players back in his time, weren't pressed, the way Messi had to deal with numerous presssing on him, while dribbling ). Also as a dribbler, he's way above any other dribbling player to *_ever_* play in Europe club football. Matthews, Sivori, Eusébio, Best, Cruyff, Maradona, Ronaldo 9, included. No player as scored the amount of slalom goals, dribbling from deep zones on the pitch in European club football. Getafe '07, Real Madrid '11, Atlectico Bilbao '15, Eibar '17, etc & many more.

Maradona's close control and taking out 3-5 players with one deft move and shimmy of his body (did it so many times)? Forget his exploits with Argentina, did you see his Napoli playing career? With regards to pressing, Maradona released the ball early with a beautiful pass that any intentions of pressing would be null and void - no exaggeration. Maradona is the closest to perfection you will observe. Also, one cannot compare today's game with yesterday-Maradona seldom got protection from the referees, as per norm, whereas players are afforded an enhanced level of protection in modern football. Messi has been fouled a lot but nowhere near the level Maradona was.
@@aqeelyousuf31 Mate, i watched the whole of peak Maradona career. From 1979 to 1988 back then.I remember his game very well.

From what I've watched from 1970 to 2024: Messi-Maradona-Cruyff-Beckenbauer-Ronaldo 9 -Zidane, in that order, the best off the lot.
The fact they still asking : Do you think he would be better than Messi without his 3 knee injuries.. Tell u enough how good he was... they said he would win 7 ballon' dors.. which is crazy, cos at that time the italian and spanish league and pl was stacked with star players..

R9 without training was the best player in the world at 19 years old! Hes simply the greatest player in football history. Imagine without injuries and actual training? And he achieved this while playing in the greatest and most competitive era in football history: 90s-2000s. Ill stop right there, its just not fair for any human.......or alien. 👽🏆🥇⚽️🇧🇷
I love him and he is one of the best players oat, but he is more like a "what if". Even before his injuries, he never reached the same level as Messi in his prime
even with injuries he is regarded as the best striker of all time.. for me he is always one of the top 5.. coming to 'actual training'- I think he was beautiful because the way he used to enjoy the game.. its the Brazilian way.. flamboyant and samba..
in R9's prime?.. the best ever for sure.. better than even Maradona.. 1 season in PSV 1 in barca and 1 in inter.. these 3 seasons of R9 can be termed as ultimate footballing perfection for a football player..@@ModernFootball866
He was a gift from God to this earth. Imagine he was 19 years nd not training.
He was unreal but I would still say someone like Henry had more about him and was a better player
r9 still the best ever
R9 was at his prime in the two years spanning his Barcelona single season and first season at Inter where he was unstoppable
Did you see him play for PSV Eindhoven ?
R9 never touched his prime,his prime was yet to arrive😢
Perfect !@@Grudge7
R9 never reach his prime. What we saw in Barcelona and 1st season in intermilan is just teaser. But sad, he was injury before we witness R9 full form. So sad so sad. The true GOAT is R9. His biggest mistake is went to Italy.
sadly, but the truth is we never saw his prime....can not say 19, 20 yrs old as primen.....he never reached his actual prime which is around 27 ish for most of soccer player......having said that, things he achieved after career ending injuries many times showed clearly he could have certainly for sure the greatest the best player ever laced soccer shoes......just Fenomeno it was.....
R9 was a real life FIFA my career player with injury sliders turned up to 80%.
I've come to the conclusion , people who understand football deeply also understand that R9 is the GOAT. Meanwhile others who are still in the process of growing will think the goat is whoever player is doing the best at the present time.
💯
Maradona
BS. I think R9 was fantastic, I was there to see him play......and his legend is being blown out of proportion. He was impressive because he dribbled at high speeds and was super direct towards goal. But that's not the ONLY way to be good at football. He stands out from his peers because of his speed dribbling.
Even Romario, from Brazil too, for me is a better 9.....and people always forgot him.
Your comment is based on the simplistic football narratives. And people like you ALWAYS have to teach others who the "GOAT"s are. You know Zidane was great...but you have no clue how close Rui Costa and othesr were to him at the time. You hear of two season that were good with Ronaldinho and think he also needs to be a GOAT......
R9 was great...but he had his carreer cut short.
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502- You know better than Mourinho, Seedhof, Maldini, Nesta, Buffon, Zidane, Henry I can go on. Every striker of is generation call him the greatest striker of all time. He's most players top three greatest player of all time.
Even the strikers than scored more than him, Henry, Bastistuta, Vieri, Inzaghi, Van Nisttaroy regard him as the greatest striker ever.
Yet, you keyboard warriors that create your own narratives and pretend as if you know more than the entire generation of managers that played and managed him is laughable.
You seem to lack the basic ability to make th distinction between ability and application. Instead you think all Ronaldo did was dribble at high speed. Madness 😂😂
@@embisonjones4996 You are the one that are conflating ability with being the best. It's not. Also, I don't care about those names. As if being good at football made you a good judge. Hell, Di Stefano also said in 2014, the best of all time for him will always be Eusebio.
Have you seen Eusebio play? You think he is inferior to R9? (and this is just an example).
Ask Zidane what he thinks about Eusaebio or Buffon. Ask them about Romario.
Gimme a break pleb.
The reason why many Spanish born 88-90 who were little kids back then became Barcelona fans, was that crazy season from Ronaldo.
R9 is the best ever. Period. It's unfortunate that people nowadays don't really know how superior he was in every human/alien way possible. Getting the golden boot after injuring both knees and a double in the WC Final vs Oliver Kahn who was almost unbeatable is just another level . The G.O.A.T
Messi is better than R9 and it's not even a debate. He had a better peak, prime, longevity than R9 and is way better vs the biggest clubs
@@ZtkW816 Messi is great at keeping the ball close to his feet.He is a little but like Maradonna and Romario.
But R9 …is the best and most dangerous footballplayer the world Will ever seen ! 🐐
@@ZtkW816 Like I wrote earlier. It's unfortunate cause you'll never really understand :)
Pls show me videos of messi nutmegging players and also dribbling the goalies to score goals…if you have those then we will talk further
@@prasanthnaidu1 sorry mate...my reply was actually to the first commentor who claims that messi is better than R9...you should have read my comment thoroughly and then you will know that i sarcastically challenge him to show videos of messi or cr7 does many nutmegs and dribbling against goalies...no one could match R9 when it comes to nutmegs and dribbling against goalies and score goals
Messi came from barcelona academy, play the style of barcelona, mentored by ronaldinho, xavi, iniesta, having played for the first team since he was 16, 3 years later at 19 destroying madrid with a hat-trick and ankara messi to getafe.
On the other side though, 19 yers old R9 just arrived at barca the day before spanish super cup vs atletico with no time to adapt after coming from lesser league, no 3 years of ronaldinho and co mentoring, never in the la masia, AND SCORED 2 GOALS IN THE SPANISH SUPER CUP WHILE STILL HAVING JET LAG. THAT'S WHY A MANAGER AT MOURINHO STATURE SAID IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER "CRAZY, CRAZY,CRAZY" "THE BEST PLAYER I'VE SEEN ON THE PITCH". Wins FIFA POTY at 20 (youngest recipient ever) wins BALON D'OR at 21 (also youngest recipient ever). At 23 BLOW his pattelar tendon fyi thats the tendon that holds your knee cap and the doctor said his knee cap was up in the mid of his thigh when he they do the surgery. The cause is his body can't handle the explosiveness that he generates every time he runs/dribble. That kind of injury reduce his then potential for being the GOAT to the best striker of all time.
RONALDO il Fenomeno il più forte e spettacolare calciatore di tutti i tempi!!! Unico, irripetibile e INCOMPARABILE!!!
Im 25….. I love watching old clips of R9 what a footballer …. shame he was a bit before my time wish I experienced him in his peak.
R9 most devastating centre forward I have ever seen with my own eyes he literally destroyed teams on his own
R9 IS THE GOAT!
The talent that R9 was born with is madness
That guy was like a glitch from the universe that has to be corrected by injuries ..
I saw them all till current generation .
R9 b4 serious knee injuries without training as Jose said b4 23 was the best ability I have ever seen in this game
R9 is the best player I have ever Seen . A guarantied Goal even after the injury he still a beast ..
Im 40 years old ive seen football ive seen r9 playing there is no one like him people need to see a game of r9 playing at his best to see what he can do i cant compare anyone to him
Regarder la final de la coupe de UEFA : inter lazio a paris.
Game over.
R9 was like Maradona and pele a gift from god we all know he would of been the greatest of all time
Capital ‘G’ for God pls
Could hear Jose telling stories all day.
For real
and his mimics, peaked when he tried to explain what he meant with "lazy" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
R9 is the only player whose feet move like a magician's hands.
I remember when he signed in Madrid, he's verry first play he score 2 goal
And first season in FCB he play 49 Games and scores 47 goals
Holy crap now I understand why everyone says R9 is the goat and not Messi and cr7
Look up his stats in Barca then you know why he's a legend
R9 was like a wild horse.. force of the nature.. you can’t compare him with the likes of messi Cr7 or mbappe.. they went through rigorous methodical training and achieved everything in the game.. but if you put R9 or maradona in systematic training they will be dumbfuck product..
That's only what casuals who watch football once a month say, people with even little ball knowledge would never put R9 above Messi

The Real Striker 👍
“Injuries made him mortal before that he was a GOD”
People who really really actually understand football know that R9 is the best footballer ever. Every manager and player says the same thing. I’ll name a few who state this. Also I think these players and managers know ball better than fanboys.

"Power Is Nothing Without Control" ~ Ronaldo Nazario
Mourinho and Barcelona is a unpopular lovestory....Iykyk
That's why they calling him Fenomeno!
He changed the sport. He made the chops and the step overs the norm. Now even defenders use it. Tell me after him, who changed the game? And how .
Before Ronaldo, Romario played for PSV.
Ronaldos arrival at PSV was less special for us because we already saw the Brazilian style with Romario for 5 years.
Before Romario, there was young Maradonna dribbling for Napoli. Doing things nobody ever done before.
Ronaldo one of the greats. No doubts.
But Maradonna, Romario made far more impact on the game in my experience.
Later on Ronaldinho became a true wizard
@@petermulder7480 you're the first dutch I heard say that. I heard van der vart say himself that for the fans it's ronaldo, romario then farfan..and he said that on tv to peruvian reporter. I think you like Maradona and romario better, bur 11 ronaldos vs 11 maradonas, and its a slaughter. same with romario, but romario would probably be a closer score...
I saw R9 live in Italy with number 10 ! Nobody comes close ! By far the 🐐
Easily its Messi changed the game after R9's striking ability, false 9 cut in from wing. R9 time was direct football true 9 going 1 vs 1.
if you think messi is the first false 9, man you have a lot to learn. I think Messi is one of the greatest offensive players and one of most gifted handling a ball. That's undisputed, but he has not impacted the actual sport. I think Holland of the 70's did, perhaps Pele made the 10 position look spectacular and inspired 10's for the rest of the sport's history. But change it? i dont know? Im a sport enthusiast and Ive seen tons of fooatge of legends and Im still in my search for the guys that changed the game, kind of like Oscar robertson in basketball. All that being said, I think messi is the best player since prime kaka, dinho and cristiano in man u. He has benefited from a cleaner game, like a lot of offensive players have ( retiring close to 40), and he is fitting for the era@@markfish1113
Ronaldo was the definition of gifted, he was tall , janky and balanced, he was strong as insanely quick, so agile and smart, if he didn't get that many injuries or get hypothyroidism, there wouldn't be a debate for the greatest ever, i myself believe that even with Messi, Cristiano, Pelé, Maradona, Di Stefano, Puskas, Ronaldinho, abd the others playes . Ronaldo still is the greatest ever.
You added Ronaldinho in the discussion but didnt even Mention Zidane or Cruyff , lol
purtroppo gli infortuni hanno limitato il tempo!
ma non la grandezza di un giocatore straordinario !
il mio preferito di sempre e per sempre!
RONALDO R9
Yeah, that's like an artist it's not that he paints paintings to copy nature but to shape it and evoke a feeling. R9 was an artist. Where if football has an emblem like NBA. He would be the poster boy because it's just beautiful what he did.❤
People who has seen him on the TV can agree with Jose. R9 was different. He was the ultimate striking power that every team could imagine.
i just checked and he really played only one year in barça and the highlights
look like 6 or 7 seasons of crazy goals.
and plays..
At 19 years of age
R9 the best player ever.
Ronaldo fenômeno The Best King 👑 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
Look up Ronaldo's stats when he was just 19 years old at Barcelona. You won't find any better stats than that ever
47. Goal in 49 matches (official) what the hell dude
Messi had 91 goals in 2012 calender year and had many better seasons than that one season by Ronaldo. Same goes for Cristiano Ronaldo.
But R9 is definitely the greatest striker of all time. Mbappé is very reminiscent of him.
@@tropical9913average goals has changed over time and haaland now is putting in the numbers... Suarez outscored Messi in that barca team imagine r9 playing with barca having 70℅ of the ball 😂.. R9 did that at 19 years of age and won best player at 20...
@@tropical9913Bro pls...dont compare Ronaldo to Mbappe its not even close 😂 thats disrespectful.
@@henry247 It's not disrespectful at all, look what Mbappé has achieved with France already. Mbappé is almost the topscorer in World Cup history already, and he's only 25 years old at the moment...
One of my all time fav players and one of the biggest, if not the biggest "what if"
I find very interesting when the current generation of soccer fans say thar CR7 or Messi are the best players of all times. They clearly don`t know much about the game. At the same time, it is understandable, as it is easier to see what`s happening now than to find videos of R9 on youtube and make clear comparisons. You can only tell the difference if you actually saw R9 playing and you see whats happening today. R9 is the real G.O.A.T(period)
R9 was the Goat , he was able to dribble 5 players at a time as if he was toying all of em in one go and such an amazing finisher , I have been watching football since the 90s and I haven't seen anyone like him , though his career was cut short due to injuries but it was always captivating to see him play and make defenders look like helpless worthless lol
You know which crazy statistic R9 has? No other player in history of football scored more goals after outplaying the goalkeeper. Think about that one for a second.
Also probably the only player who won the Ballon d'Or in 2 different centuries/millennias 🥰
88 times! Crazy..
How a news anchor introduced him in my country : "Football now, the shortest path from point A to point B is...a straight line."
*Cuts to R9 running through 4 defenders on a 50m solo goal. I spent the rest of the day in disbelief.
Il Fenomeno❤
After the injuries he only won the fifa world cup with 2 goals at the final game. The scorer of competition. AFTER THE INJURY! so you can imagine
R9 was football for my generation. Everytime you saw him or Brazil you ran out to play.
He,is just tje best
R9
Mourinho "crazy crazy.."
People need to know he won 2 world cups almost 3 like pele after pele for me its him r9
Goat
I got a first glimpse at R9 on Nintendo 64 where his name was Allejo. Then I watched him during the Atlanta 96 Olympics and in Barcelona in 1996. I have not seen anything like him before and after then
When the whole old trafford stand up for you. You know your're a goat.
Bobby Robson is one of the godfathers of football. Inspiring managers like Jose, Pepe and inviting Sir Alex to training sessions showing people globally the art of football.
'I sink I sink...such a beautiful sing to see'
R9 is the Mike Tyson of the game. Just Ruthless with it 💯
That's why he was called the PHENOMENON! His abilities to score were incredible.
Most elegant player ever.
Naahhh :). That one is Kaka.
Zidane
That'd be Kaka...
R9 was more like a wild beast
Kaka was elegant, but for me Zidane is the king of elegance..@@henry247
Ferdinands reaction is gold. 😂...
"Without training..."
Turns his head slightly
"Hm ???"
😂
Hater's R9 PLAYED aganist legendry players not joker's
im convinced that if there was ever a brazilian player with talent AND discipline they would be unstoppable, meaning no laziness, no excess party or drinking. That'd be a sight to behold.
That goes for every country dude😂
Na F1 existiu, Ayrton Senna. Infelizmente os jogadores de futebol do Brasil vem das favelas, a maioria deles não tem qualquer educação ou disciplina, o maior exemplo é Neymar
Pelé, and many others too
That WAS Kaka until injuries destroyed him 😞
R9 is the best.
R9 best player in the world didn’t even trained 😂
Best Nr 9 that ever played by far
Unstoppable.
Mourinho is the special One forever
Os melhores jogadores, tecnicos, etc dizem que Ronaldo foi o maior que ja viram, e para mim tb, nunca vi um jogador TAO talentoso e intimidador como o Fenomeno.
Messi e Cristiano Ronaldo, são mais longínquos e "focados" mas no talento natural, ninguem supera o Fenomeno.
R9 talent was so huge that his own body wasn't able to sustain it
"Mr Robson". That there is respect.
O Fenomeno🥇
Barcelona is a legendary club. Mourinho and R9 our core enemies were once our beloved children.
AI is still in its infancy but One day, it will tell us that R9, is the best.
I love the way he says Mr Robson,But Ronaldo was a genius.Every time he was one on one with the keeper you knew the out come, Injury cost him and the football lovers worldwide so much more
Why Ronaldo Is Called The Phenomenon !
It's not real when ppl say that a player carreer is over just because he left Europe to play elsewhere. Like Ronaldo at Corintians, Ronaldinho also was still really good when he was playing at Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro when he left Europe, Marcelo and Felipe Melo just won the '' champions league '' equivalent for Fluminense on South America and Cristiano Ronaldo is still doing the best in Saudi league. So no, leaving Europe does not mean your carreer is over nor does mean youre not a good player anymore . Best 9 i've ever seen in my life Ronaldo. amazing dance at world cup 98 . Ronaldo is not just phenomenon . so humble,good person and funniest too. Ronaldo is the best ever for ever!
I watched a reel of mourinho talk about r9 and I search in the UA-cam about r9 goals and skill iam tottally crazy 😮why this guy is very very underatted for my generation i didn’t nowhere see like that type of skills
crazy..... crazy.... its crazy..... crazyyy
watching R9 playing was like watching Art pleasure the eyes
R9 is the best!
RONALDO NAZARIO SUPERIOR>>>>CRISTIANO+MESSI+MBAPPÉ+HALLAND
He was top
He did more at Real than at Barcelona and Inter. I still remember his hat trick as a RM player at Old Trafford. He was a killer.
nothing compared to his pre-injury version.. in PSV, Inter and Barca he was unreal.. and alien.. In Real he was world class but not like late 90's version.. he won world cup golden ball in 1998..
@@thebengalurubong2047 He had changed his playing style when he was in Madrid and Milan. You will find the more exciting R9 by watching his reels in PSV, Barca and the first season in Inter.
Mourinho always said, that Ronaldo was the most brilliant player he'd seen on a football field. Even after all these years. You can *_still_* see in his facial expressions, how much Ronaldo blew his mind back then. Zidane & Seedorf have said, that he was the best player they'd played with & that he did things in training, they'd never seen before or since.
Injuries cruely robbed him off his full potential, *_fully_* unloaded.
I think his game was a tad route-one & lacked the variation that Pelé - Cruyff -Maradona-Messi, had to their game. Therefore, I'd rank him slightly below those players.
All players, i was lucky to have watched, when they were still playing. Messi of course, still going strong.
R9 has fully loaded whatever he could winning everything he wanted... Even the Ucl while at ac milan Ancelotti mentioned... His 4 years of prime from psv barca and Inter is still unmatched together with his 98 & 2002 WC performance... Only maradona and zizou has individual brilliance that matches r9..
I can't put anyone above D10S Maradona. Never seen anything like him. It's as if God's spirit had transcended his physical body, placed a football at his feet and said, "it will obey your every command just talk to it". Maradona gliding on grass and cutting through players as if they weren't there was POETRY in motion. I am sorry but no one could make a football so subservient like DM did. There is Maradona, then a blank space and then everyone else.
@@aqeelyousuf31 Messi's the best controller of a moving ball on the ground I've ever seen. Especially in tight spots, with numerous bodies around him, to stop him. His close-control, shoulder drops, body feints, incredible. He changes of directions, via his out of this world, " pendulum - hips" swerves, the best.
When numerous oppostional bodies got around Maradona, he struggled ( players back in his time, weren't pressed, the way Messi had to deal with numerous presssing on him, while dribbling ).
Also as a dribbler, he's way above any other dribbling player to *_ever_* play in Europe club football. Matthews, Sivori, Eusébio, Best, Cruyff, Maradona, Ronaldo 9, included. No player as scored the amount of slalom goals, dribbling from deep zones on the pitch in European club football. Getafe '07, Real Madrid '11, Atlectico Bilbao '15, Eibar '17, etc & many more. Maradona playing in European club football got nowhere near those type of dribble goals & that many also...
@@johnpacino007 Did you see Maradona at his peak (let's say 1984-1989) and not on old videos? Maradona's close control and taking out 3-5 players with one deft move and shimmy of his body (did it so many times)? Forget his exploits with Argentina, did you see his Napoli playing career? With regards to pressing, Maradona released the ball early with a beautiful pass that any intentions of pressing would be null and void - no exaggeration. Maradona is the closest to perfection you will observe. Also, one cannot compare today's game with yesterday-Maradona seldom got protection from the referees, as per norm, whereas players are afforded an enhanced level of protection in modern football. Messi has been fouled a lot but nowhere near the level Maradona was.
@@aqeelyousuf31 Mate, i watched the whole of peak Maradona career. From 1979 to 1988 back then.I remember his game very well. I started watching football back across the 1970s, when Cruyff & Beckenbauer were at their ultimate peak.
From what I've watched from 1970 to 2024: Messi-Maradona-Cruyff-Beckenbauer-Ronaldo 9 -Zidane, in that order, the best off the lot.
Il fenomeno is the most talented footballer ever lived
Robson was trainer at PSV so he probably still followed the club and knew about the exceptional talent of Ronaldo.
The fact they still asking : Do you think he would be better than Messi without his 3 knee injuries.. Tell u enough how good he was... they said he would win 7 ballon' dors.. which is crazy, cos at that time the italian and spanish league and pl was stacked with star players..
Ronaldo Nazario and Messi are my fav players
You always knew he would score no matter what
Pre Injury Ronaldo absolute Savage.
Not one player did, does that indefensible sprint with 1 stepover to the left and low cross hard kick.
It was R9 signature move. All forwarders, amateurs and Pros must learn that.
Top 5 footballers of all time:
1. Luis
2. Nazario
3. De Lima
4. Ronaldo
5. Fenomeno
The most lethal striker of all time 🙂
Unfortunately Brazil does not produce this kind of talent anymore. The likes of R9, Adriano, Ronaldinho, Robinho et al.
They are too busy posting in social media nowadays..
If Ronaldinho is the beauty of football ⚽ original Ronaldo is the craze of football ❤
