Ronaldo De Assis Moreira

The best football player in the world. One of the greatest players. A true champion. Unique. Incredible talent with extraordinary technical qualities. Excellent playmaker and true organizer. Such epithets were awarded to Ronaldinho by his equally titled colleagues Pele, Maradona and Kaka. And i must admit, they were not mistaken.

On March 21, 1980, the family of shipyard worker Joao de Assis Moreira and Miguelina nurse Eloy Assisdos Santos had a third child, a son. The boy was given the name Ronaldo. Twenty years later, football and the whole sports world recognizes him as Ronaldinho.

The family lived in Brazil, one of the largest cities of Porto Alegre. His father worked part-time in the parking lot of the football club "Gremio" - winner of the Intercontinental Cup and two-time winner of the Copa Libertadores. Unsurprisingly, the sons loved the sport in all its diversity - both futsal and beach. Moreover, to give a football on the first birthday is in the tradition of Brazilians.

Ronaldinho's football came after his older brother Roberto, who had high hopes as a striker for Gremio and competed in the 1987 Junior World Cup. To motivate Roberto to play, the club gave him a villa in the prestigious area. But a knee injury ended his brother's career.

Ronaldinho earned his nickname, meaning "little Ronaldo," at the Langendonfootball School, which he attended from the age of seven. And at 13 brazilian media started to write about him. Then his Belo Horizonte mini-football team won the match with a crushing score of 23:0. All the goals were scored by Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho's career began, of course, at Gremio. The teenager joined the team at the age of 15. He signed his first professional contract and managed to play at the 1997 World Youth Championships.

Two years later Ronaldinho made his debut in the national team. After a brilliant performance at the Confederations Cup, the old World clubs became interested in young talent.

The Brazilian's biography changed dramatically when the young footballer was in Paris Saint-Germain. The transition to this club was not easy. According to pele's law, the player was released to another club on condition of compensation, two hundred times the player's salary. And in 2001, the contract with Gremio ended, and Ronaldinho was not going to renew it.

In the end, the French paid compensation in the amount of more than 5 million euros, but the home club, nevertheless, was dissatisfied.

PSG were then considered the middle and were considered only as a springboard for Ronaldinho. After 11th place " Paris Saint-Germain in the national championship and losing in the fight for the French Cup Ronaldinho left the club.

Such a trophy did not fail to capture the Spanish "Barcelona". Manchester United and Real Madrid also took part in the fight for the talented legionnaire. Joan Laporta's team personally went to Ronaldinho and his brother, who became a personal agent of the footballer. The result of the telephone negotiations was a contract for 32 million euros.

Ronaldinho became the star of the Blue-Granat. From the first season the fans saw a brilliant game, beautiful goals and branded feints. The most famous trick performed by the Brazilian is "elastico," which is sometimes also called "flip flop" or "snake".

The athlete said that his game is improvisation. An attack is impossible without it at all, especially in a situation where seconds are taken to make a decision. A footballer should not show the same game, unpredictability should take the opponent out of balance.

Two "Golden Balls" of FIFA as the best footballer in the world, the best player of the Champions League, twice the champion of Spain - this is an incomplete list of awards of the striker. In the 2005-2006 season he set a personal best performance in European teams.

The "cost" of the player grew exponentially. In the 2006-2007 season, Chelsea offered 70 million euros for Ronaldinho's transfer, but the Catalans refused.

In 2007, Ronaldinho was granted Spanish citizenship. At the same time, another future football legend, Lionel Messi, appeared in Barca's main line-up. As the Argentinian himself said, Ronaldinho was an example for him.

Not the most brilliant performances at the World Cup in Germany and at the 2008 Olympics, a serious injury and the subsequent withdrawal from the team forced Ronaldinho to look for a new club.

There were still many teams who wanted to see Ronaldinho in their line-up. The Italian AC Milan was lucky. From 2008 to 2011, the footballer spent there, despite receiving a better offer from Manchester City. But he just didn't want to go to England.

The first Italian season was difficult, everything was new - language, people, environment. As Ronaldinho admitted in the interview, he had to prove persistently that he was worthy to play in the base.

But the golden period in Ronaldinho's biography is over. Conflicts with the coaching staff began. The footballer was increasingly met in nightclubs in violation of the regime. It didn't slow to affect the quality of the game, the performances became uneven. The press wrote more about the player's behavior outside the stadium than about the Brazilian's signature style.

The amount of contracts went down. Clubs changed one by one. In 2011, Ronaldinho joined Flamengo, followed by Atletico Mineiro in 2012. In 2014, he signed a one-year contract with Mexico's Keretaro. Ronaldinho then played for Peruvian club Cienciano and Ecuadorian Club Barcelona (Guayaquil). In 2015 he returned to Brazil to the Fluminense di Feira club, where he spent only a few months.

Even playing for PSG, Ronaldinho said that he never fell in love and even more so did not suffer from unrequited love. And prefers girls smart, with a sense of humor. Officially, Ronaldinho is not married, but has a son. The child's mother is dancer Jeanine Nattienella Viana Mendes. The son, born in 2005, was named after his grandfather, Ronaldinho's father.

French model Alexandra Paredan and Romanian Liliana Cevereshan were seen in the company of the sultry handsome man (the player's height is 181 cm, weight - 78 kg). Although ronaldinho calls his first love a football.

With the first beauty at the "Tooth of the second" it would seem, it was serious - the footballer even introduced the girl to his mother, filled with expensive gifts. What was the unbeaten act with sending a charter plane for a friend's favorite dog. But Alexandra allowed herself to be too frank with the media. And Liliana chose her own career.

Ronaldinho did not forget to attach to work and next of kin: Brother Roberto is a personal agent, sister Daisy - a manager of media relations. But Ronaldinho's family life is not flaunting. The official Instagram posted mostly photos from games, meetings with fans and friends and, of course, their own.

For the last two years Ronaldinho as a footballer has been unemployed. Advertising contracts and participation in charity matches do not count. In the summer of 2016, the athlete released his own mobile app "Emojinho" based on Android and iOS.

In the same year, Barcelona opened a new office and football school in New York as part of its brand promotion in America. Ronaldinho is the official ambassador for the commercial expansion of "blue-grenades" in the United States.

In 2016, along with Hollywood stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Christopher Lambert and boxer Mike Tyson participated in the filming of the film "Kickboxer. Retribution." Ronaldinho is no stranger to cinema. Back in 2002, as a cameo, he appeared in the film Play as "The Siz." There are also films with the participation of football stars - "The Clone", "Prospect of Brazil," "Mad Dogs."

In 2017, news feeds spread two news stories. According to agent Roberto de Assis, Ronaldinho plans to return to professional football and sign a contract with the team that will play in the Copa Libertadores. The most likely contender is the leader of Uruguayan football "Nsional".

According to Globoesporte, the former striker is being treated as a player of the Brazilian futsal national team. In any case, there was a discussion of the terms of joining the club "Sorokaba" with the legendary mini-footballer Falcao. Before that, Ronaldinho played in the futsal league of India. He left her after being offered a goodwill ambassador at the Rio Paralympics.
