@@27FreddyG No.

i really love ronaldinho but saying " He could carry the entire team on his shoulders" is not the way to describe him, he never carried any of his teams, sure he had many magical moments and in his prime probably the best dribbler ever in the sport but to say he could carry his team on his shoulders is not true there are many players that carried their teams way way more the ronaldinho.R9(before injury) for example would carry 10x harder than him and was way more consistent... ronaldinho was just pure joy to watch he had magic in his feet he has some of the craziest highlights ever but that doesn't mean he was carrying his team there are atleast 10 players that would fit that description way better than him

and he was the master of great assistance. Eto said he was one of the favorite people to play with .

Not a great scorer of goals, but a scorer of great goals

@@yelyharmony2047 '' Stats are the ones that tell the true''. Well no. Senna is considered to be the best F1 driver in history but Hamilton has better statistics than him. Statistics did not say which cars they have driven and under which rules they have raced. You can apply this concept to soccer as well. More If a player score 3 goals in 3 matches with identical final score 1-0 for all matches is by far more dominant that another one that score 3 goals in one match lost 3-5 and with clean sheet in the other 2. The statistics for both player will be 1 goal per match. Coming to Ronaldinho, in his peak 2004-2007 was by far better than Neymar.

Well his downfall was lack of motivation. Until he was in Barcelona he was a consistent player but when he left Barca that's where his downfall started because by the time he left Barca he had already won everything there is two win in football he won the world cup, UCL, Ballon dor etc. he didn't have the hunger to keep winning trophies like Messi and Ronaldo has

I mean he definitely had high work ethic to get to his mystical level. He was dribbling a ball since he was a toddler.

Yeah, Ronnie and Diego are the most "natural" talents I've seen. The grace and easiness they control the ball... is like it's an extension of their bodies.

@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI Messi lacks the grace and sheer creativity of Diego and Ronnie Gaucho in my opinion. When you turned on the TV to watch them, you didn't expect just a football match, but a showtime, a spectacle, a form of entertainment that went beyond winning or scoring goals.

​@@lessavini The Funny thing is, players like Ronaldinho or Xavi said in interviews that, during training, Messi would start doing crazy skills that left them amazed just to show off, he just didn't need to show off while playing to dribble half a team and score.

@富岡くん so true

Correct

Imagine if maradona was - different level entirely

Ronaldo was the most dedicated footballer ever,messi didn't need to be that dedicated or hardworking,he already had talent,and if u look at tall attackers who are considered one of the best(except CF) ,they tend to decline early and retire early,for eg.ronaldo(brazillian) kaka,theirry Henry(although he played for barca but wasn't as good as he was before),the only player I remember playing at a top level at 34 was zidane and maybe it's cause he was not that fast like these footballers,short people have an advantage over tall players in important attacking aspects of football.

Messi has taken things to a new level from learning from these ex barca stars such as Ronaldinho. Dinho only makes you happy because he plays with a smile on his face. Thats the phychological side to it. Better way to put messi is hes like a sponge he soaks up everything he sees. Ronaldinho was at that level in 2003-06. Messi been at that level since 2005 to present day. Wow i sound so intelligent.

yeah

really

exactly!

I'll bet he didn't even checked anything from those times, just dismissed them for not being on Europe. He played phenomenally during the 2012-13 seasons, should've won both Brasileirão and Libertadores while playing really fucking good.

i would say the same, he won libertadores, how is this not relevant???? absolute desrespect for south american football

Tais de brincadeira

did he carry a smaller team to victory?

@@nelotharen8599 it wasnt a small team, but without him i personally think they couldnt win libertadores

As a brazilian I couldn't agree more with you. Most youth players in Brazil think they're just like Ronaldinho when they get promoted, leading them to a lack of discipline and focus with training. That tipicaly leads those players to have issues with partying and stuff like that, we have multiple cases here in our own national league.

Guilherme Perina Is the situation in Brazilian football similar to Game Theory? ie. Most of the players in the league are hard partying/don’t have as good a work ethic as other leagues so it sort of cancels out?

He gave Brazil the African touch

^This is what ppl dont get. Messi does the same dribble over and over cus he's small and agile so he doesn't even need to do tricks, and basically, Ronaldo transformed into more of a goal machine than anything else over the years. Ronaldinho however was actually magical and creative beyond belief with a football like an artist on the pitch. His skills were miles beyond that of any other player I've seen (don't even mention Neymar cus he aint at that level) and probably the only player I'd sit and watch highlight clips of for hours on end. I don't do that for messi, maradona, pele, cr7 or even r9.

Also his ball control was godlike.

Cr7 is total bullshit especially when he try to pass opponent with some skill moves. He makes some footwork but most of time his opponents stilll marking him. When Ronaldinho make a skill move to an opponent, his success rate is over %90.

Completely agreed with you man.

I don’t know man I have lots of respect for ronaldinho but to be honest I’ve never seen him play like I have for Ronaldo or Neymar. Not saying anyone is better I’m just not educated on ronaldinho. I gotta start somewhere😁

yeah I get what youre saying, but the point I was trying to get at is that they performed at a higher level than he did for a longer time, as one of the sad things about Ronaldinho is that his prime didnt last too long

@@RaymarFootball But Ronaldinho was better than eto and villa hands down.

Raymar Football this is true. Ronaldinho was not known for his long prime in football. He was known primarily for two reasons: that beautiful stunning joga bonito style of football that was amazing to watch, and his contribution to fc Barcelona that showed everyone that Barcelona was a team to be feared. Barcelona prior to the arrival of ronaldinho had spurts of greatness but was always very on and off. With ronaldinho they won the league I think twice, and the 2006 champions league and of course the 2002 World Cup with Brazil. But once again, that 06 final didn’t really showcase ronaldinhos dominance. That game easily could have been Arsenal’s victory had it not been for a red card. Eto was the monster behind that final. Ronaldinho unfortunately loved partying, had won it all, and didn’t really have the drive to continue being a top class player. Genius alone does not cut it at the top. Only a few years at the top but those few years put his name everyone, inspired a young generation to follow his style, and overall, really helped put Barca on the map.

@@gymfamily In my opinion he in his prime was a better footballer than cr7 and messi.But that's just me.And ofcourse Zidane too was better in his prime than cr7 and messi.Fyi i dont consider goals assists and trophies as the standard to measure a great player.But yeah all those stuff is important and a plus point but more important for me is the signature style of play of an individual player and the class and elegance and just how easily and naturally they grab and hold onto others attention and just show their class elegantly and discreetly without arrogance or showing off.And even when showing off doesn't look like they are trying to show off just looks classy and natural.

Saadhna Kamal thanks for your opinion. I would disagree but we all have our own opinions and I respect that. I would say in prime Messi and cr7 were better but ronaldinho has this magic and class that made every fan giggle like children in disbelief. When you say soccer magic, people think of ronaldinho. He had this presence where it was just amazing to watch him and he played a beautiful game that inspired everyone. Ronaldinhos peak was so short, but what he brought to this beautiful game is what’s not forgotten and thus gives him legendary status. The man was always smiling

xDiaBoLiKGaMeRx his prime didn’t last that long. Dinho is pretty overrated as everyone loves him (me too) but he’s nowhere near the likes of ronaldo, Cristiano, messi, pele and co

Zaïd Mayou 25 and how tf does that have to do anything ? Dinho only lasted at world class level for 3 years. The fact that zlatan is only a year younger to him and can still play at the highest level just shows how overrate dinho has become over the years. Fantastic player but not anywhere near the names like ronaldo and messi

Zaïd Mayou you’re just proving my point. If you think dinho stacks anywhere close to the likes of Ronaldo and messi you’re the one lacking knowledge my friend. Dinho is by far the most enjoyable player to watch for sure but not anywhere near the all time best

Prince Marwin I agree dinho didn’t play at World class level for a long time. However dinho at HIS top level are better than players like zidan and ronaldo and cr7. Only Messi (for me) have a higger top level

Marcaba A yes at his top he was phenomenal. I’d say even better than messi. Dinho and Best had a short stint and their best and were by far the best. But consistency is key in football. That’s why the likes of ronaldo, ronaldo 9, messi and co deserve to be in goat bracket
