How a teenager RULED the football World at Barcelona
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Ronaldo, R9, O Fenômeno - whatever name you know him by, you know that he is one of the most iconic players in football history. Why? Because there isn’t a young player or teenager that had a more dominant spell. There’s a reason why he is the youngest player to ever win the Ballon d’Or. His goalscoring record at Cruzeiro, PSV and Barcelona are out of this world, as Ronaldo cemented his place as a football icon by the time he had turned 21. Known for his pace, power, dribbling and finishing ability, this is the story of Ronaldo before he had won the Ballon d’Or: Ronaldo at Cruzeiro, Ronaldo at PSV & Ronaldo at FC Barcelona.

Ronaldo is that anime character that is so overpowered that even his own body can't take it.
How cultured you are
hes literally kenpachi from bleach, whose body breaks because his own body cant handle the power of his bankai
Glass cannon he is.
@@_.Goat21Was about to day Deku but this works better
@@MrVinjex like itachi from naruto, his Mangekyo drains the heck out of him yet every ability is a oneshot
The best player I’ve seen in my life in terms of pure talent. Messi and CR7 did it for longer, but R9 between 1996 and 1999 was like watching something from another planet. He completely reinvented what it meant to be a forward
Romario
Ronaldo
Adriano
3 brazilian strikers one after the other who could have been the best of all time if they took care of themselves ( Romario kinda did but he said it himself he would have been even better had he focused more)
Ronaldo Nazario was such a gifted player that even after having 2 bad injuries prior to 2002 FIFA World Cup and gaining weight afterwards, he still outscored many world-class strikers back in the day.
Imagine what he could have been had he stayed fit throughout his career.
Adrian is dropping gold nuggets!🎉🎉🎉
Brazilian Ronaldo the Phenomena!!! A true icon of that footballing era!🐐🐐🐐
The greatest "9" of all time
You’re forgetting about Jesus Ferreira
Van Basten?
Glazing
I’m going to assume you’re talking about Mr champions league.
@@donkeykong6669How? U never watched him play 💀 lil bro
Ronaldo was the mike Tyson of football
People will hate me for saying this, but players like Ronaldo or Ronaldinho would be called one season wonders nowadays.
Ronaldo and Messi have completely destroyed our perspective on players. Those two are so far above every other player that ever existed, but we still tend to compare todays player to them.
"One season." Right.
@@temporaryuseraccount0012I didn’t say that was my opinion. Just look at how people still disrespect players like Salah like he isn’t one of the greatest prem players ever
I dont think he'd be called one season wonder or anything close to that, but i can see him being underappreciated cuz of his injuries which lead to percieved inconsistency.
CR7 and messi fuckd our perception of greatness imho, footballers gonna have to have more G/A than games for a decade to be "great" nowadays
@@sgafgThe craziest stat I recently saw was the fact that Haaland would have to score 50 goals a season until the age of 34 to catch up Ronaldo. It’s outrageous
not everybody think like sheep
Post 1990. The second best player I've seen on a football pitch behind Messi.
Messi, Ronaldo🇧🇷, Ronaldinho, Zidane, in that order. The four most breathtaking post 1990 players.
i was born before and i saw R9 playing and then Messi playing.
If we stop time at their 23, R9 was better.. WAY BETTER!!!!
if we take the entire careers is pretty evident r9 wasn't the same after multiple knee injuries and 2 years off the pitch.
And that's why Messi is N1.
@ Messi was ridiculous from 19-21, but was beset with injury woes. By the 2008-09 season age 21, he was solid from injuries & blew the back out of football. Ronaldo was indeed incredible from 19-22 ( 1996-99). And he too blew the back out of football. Especially, the 96-97 & 97-98 seasons. But did he score a goal has incredible as Messi's 2007 deep-zone, slalom dribble goal against Getafe, when he was just 19? Both are the two best post 1990 talent's I've seen.
@@johnpacino007 messi has to dribble all to get to the goal. R9 was faster, more physical. Sometmes he just ran towards the keeper pushing away opponents. You can see that against Valencia and Compostela when he was playing with barca.
But he already did those things in Brazilierao and Copa Libertadores at 16.
Congrats Rabona, you are now the new media my friend
Ronaldo is the greatest nr. 9 of all time he was pure joy to watch.
He is better than messi and cr7
Finally, a Barça fan on Rabona TV.
Videos like these are needed. I'm so tired of talking to people who the CR7 is the only Ronaldo ever in football 😅
Him and Zidane were the first players my older brothers and uncles told me was great; and to keep an eye on. They fuelled my love for the game and my fascination with generational talents in the sport. He hasn't left my top 5 since! Great video, Adrian!
Glad this legend existed before the CR and Messi era. Simply amazing, incredibly complete, he could honestly do it all!
there will never be ..
another striker like Ronaldo ...
Well done on this video! Ronaldo, made football popular and showed the world its treasure of beauty.
Keep in mind, he did this in an era without today’s technology and medical knowledge.
Ronaldo is God Tier level at his prime, and to come back from his injury and still win a World Cup, is staggering. His story is made up by prophecy and his lifecycle in football is unmatched.
We are all blessed to see it in our lifetime.
Fan from Niagara Falls Canada. Interista since, 1997, when I was 7.
11:40 The ballon d'or back then was accepted as the award for the best european player i.e. best player who achieved success in the European club competitions like ucl and uefa cup. The fifa award was the award you had to win back then to be the acknowledged as the best player in the world. So technically speaking, he was already acknowledged as the best in the world. But the fact that he almost beat a ucl winning captain without even playing in the ucl says it all.
Diego taking some time out of complaining to be informative! Haha love you Diego even as a Madrid fan.
Managing Madrid gang
My opinion at his peak best ever
Not only yours, but yes.
Paolo Maldini said R9 was the toughest person to defend. Keep in mind Maldini also played against Maradona.
O Fenomeno, my favorite player ever. Great vid king. 👑
Please I'd love to see the video, It's gonna be painful but it's just the classic iteration of the greek tragedy and I've got so many good memories about those years too!
R9 and klay Tompson both won it all and ruined by injuries at their peaks never knew they would have that in common
This is a vídeo so good i wish i could like more than once ❤
Your favorite striker's favorite striker. The phenomenon.
It's strange how futsal breeds world class footballers when it's closer to handball.
R9 is the greatest of all times
Just imagine if Ronaldo Nazario never got that injury
4:04 why does he resemble cristiano here? Its only a few seconds but look alike here. Now about r9, if im getting goose bumps after watching highlights of r9 on youtubes, imagine this guy who watched him live? Watching R9 play football live and have the tongue to describe what you experienced is crazy work
R9 was the strongest football player ever to step into a football pitch. Period.
Others may have had better careers, more throphies, more goals, records and fans worshipping them.
He.. he had just everything and more in his 20. More than anyone: Messi, Maradona, CR7 and even young record breakers like Haaland.
He was the personification of football at its finest.
Never reached his prime, having to play at 70% after his 23 due to multiple knee injuries.
Those who says he was not complete never saw him play.
Respect R9 "il Fenomeno" 👽
Adrian with another banger of a video!
A clickbait title that's actually factually correct. Good job.
Amazing video!
Another banger from Adrian
Great thumbnail dude, looks great.
This guy was a monster. Had absolutely everything
Great video.
So why did R9 leave Barca?
Your favourite striker’s favourite striker.
phenomenon.....
PSV Ronaldo 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
You don't have to say Balon Dor like that bro. Chill tf out
great vid but the youngest Ballon dor winner was owen with LFC
No.. it is still R9
No sir, it was Ronaldo. Owen was 22.
@ ye ur right. my apologies
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😮 first comment second view love yo videos bro from America !!!
Yamal
Yamal doesn’t score like R9 as he is still a winger. But if he improves his scoring numbers or G+A, he will probably become the youngest ballon d’or winner beating R9’s record.
Ronaldo wasn't even close to prime Leo and Cristiano.
At 19? He was WAY beyond them.
❤️
R9 >>>>> Haaland
I had a discussion once, who is more famouse between Michael Jordan and Cristiano Ronaldo. I said there's a very famous movoe star that has to use a "B" to differentiate himself from Michael.
Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably not even the most famous Ronaldo.
Cr7 is BY FAR the most famous Ronaldo idk what to tell you, but be living under a rock
Dumbass ragebait again. Mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo in a Ronaldo Nazario vid, you got his dick in your mouth or what
Bro, you create fenomenal content, props to you!
Still, please, please, stop trying to pronounce foreign words/names in the way you believe they should be pronounced in their respective languages. Just read them like you would when reading in English.
he was not the best tho
Keep doing your job.. Hater.
