A rare video i had, Ronaldo Doc/report includes interviews with Ronaldo while he was injured in 1999 (before he came back to get injured again) THANK YOU RONALDO!!!!!! Ronaldo Luis Nazário de Lima (otherwise known as Ronaldo) has picked up more personal awards than many could ever dream of. A World Cup winner, twice, the Brazilian striker elevated himself to the very top of world football almost immediately and picked up two FIFA World Player of the Year awards before he was 20 years of age. In 1999, the striker suffered the first in a series of serious knee injuries and went under the surgeon's knife. It was nearly two years before he played again with regularity, but when he did return he revealed why the Italian press had labelled him O Fenomeno as he led his side to glory at the 2002 World Cup. After completing a gruelling recuperation process, Korea/Japan proved to be a stunning revival for the brilliant Brazilian as he finished as the tournament's top scorer on eight goals. The misery of 1998 was laid to rest as he smashed both goals in typical style in a 2-0 win over Germany in the final and confounded the critics who had been quick to hint at his possible early retirement. 'It aint about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward'' THERE IS ONLY ONE RONALDO DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE SONGS USED IN ANY WAY. I AM NOT MAKING A PROFIT FROM THIS. End music from ROCKITPRO beats..Rockitpro.com Thankz :) The Legend Ronaldo Luiz Nazario De Lima. There is only one Ronaldo that scored 3 goals against Manchester United at Old Trafford won 3 times the FIFA World Player of the Year award Won 2 FIFA World Cup titles Is the greatest scorer in FIFA World Cup history Had 3 unexpected comebacks. By Ash 'RonaldinhoBarca10' Star Quotes after reirement: "After yet another groin injury, I gave it a lot of thought and decided I'd reached a point where I had nothing more to give and that the sacrifices were too great, something I never thought would happen. Once I'd made the decision it felt as if I was in Intensive Care with a terminal condition, and that this announcement would be like passing away. Giving up something that's made me so happy is very tough, I've always loved the game and would give anything to carry on. But you can't win them all and I've been beaten by my own body." stated Ronaldo in a press conference to announce his retirement from the game that made and breaked him. "He's the best striker I've ever seen." -Lionel Messi "Ronaldo is the man and I don't care what y'all say. [He's the] best striker ever, hands down, and anyone who doesn't agree has problems." -Jozy Altidore "He went to Holland, Spain and Italy and enhanced the reputation of Brazilian football in all three countries. He came back home and breathed new life into the Brazilian championship and Corinthians. Brazilian people should be grateful for what he's done for our football." -Pele "He was a one-off in terms of ability and had the skill to turn a half-chance into an incredible goalscoring opportunity. He was phenomenal when one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Those who saw him play know what I'm talking about. It's not easy to put it into words, but I'm not exaggerating by any means." -Zinedine Zidane "I'd like to have played alongside him, because I'd have been able to put him through on goal all the time. He's always in the right place to receive the ball and he thinks really quickly. It wasn't by chance that he was the world's best player on several occasions. He also did his bit for A Seleção, being a part of two World Cup wins and one second place. He even went on to become the highest scorer in World Cup history. That was a phenomenal feat, in keeping with his nickname." -Zico "I didn't need any time to gel when playing alongside Ronaldo. He knew how I played and I knew where he liked to receive the ball. It was very easy to play with him because he was great at finding the right positions both inside and outside the box. As soon as I picked up the ball, he already knew what I was going to do with it." -Rivaldo
