Ronaldinho was one of the happiest players I know. He loved the sport so much. Always smiling. Great player.

Peak Ronaldinho was an unstoppable force. Probably the best footwork in the history of the sport. Strong, fast and accurate. Super entertaining to watch. And he did it all with a huge smile, he was having fun out there!

Everyone likes Ronaldinho. Everyone. He is one of those guys that makes you remember why you fell in love with the sport.

Ronaldinho was one player every fan wanted at their club. Regardless, I don't know a fan of footie that wouldn't acknowledge his incredible skill and enthusiasm.

I love how that last clip of him just shut you up. It does that to everyone. Perfect reaction.

For me, the Greatest. It was just a joy to watch him playing.

Soccer balls obey the laws of physics, contrary to the absurd claims of some, and Ronaldinho was a savant in that respect. He knew exactly how the ball would behave in any given moment.

Boys like Ronaldinho had nothing else in their childhood but the street and a ball. They played soccer from morning to night. And when there was no one else to play with, they just played with the ball alone. The Brazilians in particular are known as ball magicians, the best footballers there grew up in the slums....

As a supporter of F.C. Barcelona, Ronaldinho was an absolute joy to see playing football, he was amazing!

For those 3 years at Barca he was simply the best player on the planet. Best player I have ever had the honour to see in person. Barca at the Nou Camp was amazing!!

13:59 is the most beautiful silence I've ever seen on KZfaq.

Referee here: if you think of where your armpit starts when you stand up straight with your arms down by your sides, and draw a horizontal line out from there, that part of your arm is NOT considered to be handball. So you can use your shoulder to hit the ball, but not your bicep/tricep or lower.

Just so you know, we don't handle our balls in football! Except if you're in the wall at a free kick 😂

You may also love compilations of... - Juninho: He was a freekick god. Probably the best we've ever seen. - Manuel Neuer: A complete goalkeeper, being the 11th field player on the pitch. With an insane early masterpiece 2008 against Porto. - Ibrahimovic: The legend. Hard to find superlatives describing his uniqueness. After you watched his career highlights, search for his FIFA walkout for winning the Italian ligue with Milan. It's epic.

This guy scored an amazing and impossible goal against my beloved Chelsea... it's the first and only time that I've applauded an opposition player scoring against my team, and everything was still on the line! Ronaldinho Gaucho, I thank you for the memories btw the master of free kicks was Juninho Pernambucano.... thank me later

No one will ever come close to him with in terms of what he could do with a football.. here in Brazil we call him "The Wizard" bcuz of what he could do with it. Great reaction bro! Ive liked that you also checked some of his achievements. Plz react to "Prime Neymar was unreal" next!

Ronaldinho was and still is cosidered as most gifted and tallented football player EVER! In his peak years he was unstoppable. He wasn't making drama, he was not toxic to fans or opposition either. His attitude is the most fun to watch, he was always smiling and just enjoying the game. On top of that he was a mentor to Messi in Barcelona and he made a pass to a first Messi's goal in top league. We can't see those players on todays pitches....stakes are much higher and a lot of toxicity is in the game next to a lot of money.

Ronaldhino stands for the beauty and magic in football. Never forget his games he made. Same with Ronaldo the phenomenal.

1:00 it's the Ballon D'Or, the award of the best player of the year, kinda like a MVP but for the entire world the rule about handball is you can't touch with arm and or hand, for the limitation it's about where the line on the shirt/jersey usually are, if it's top of the shoulder it's fine i would recommand reacting to "legendary goalkeeper saves" and "Ronaldinho sexiest passes ever" he was discovered while playing futsal because he scored 23 goals in one match at 13yo

Ronaldinho is a legend 🔥

Ronaldinho was the footballer who made me fall in love with football. Bro played with passion and love for the beautiful game. As I understand, he didn't care about trophies, he just wanted to play

Ronaldinho is literally the reason why I started watching football which is why Barcelona is my favorite football club.

Not ball handling, dribbling! One love

love that youre into it now, and the snooker! players to check out: zinedine zidane zlatan ibrahimovic wayne rooney steven gerrard paul scholes these are all from the 2000s era!

Ronaldinho made millions fall in love with the game. Hearts of people is his biggest trophy.

Ronaldinho was such a great player! I am a Real Madrid supporter, the spanish rival team of Barcelona (where Ronaldinho played) and it was impossible not to like him. On an occasion he had an amazing performance against Real Madrid at their home stadium, and the whole stadium started applauding him after he scored the second goal. Now the rivalry of the clubs is so fierce due to historical and political reasons as well, that it is impossible to be cheered by your rivals in football let alone Madrid fans who are known to also boo and whistle at their own players if they do not like how they perform.

You're right about him being fun, he loved the party lifestyle and the nightclubs!

Ronadinho was a one-off. He played the game literally for fun. Even though he was able to make top defenders look lost, he was respected by those he played against in a way very few others have been. If only he'd taken the game more seriously there would have been no doubt that he was the best ever, but to do so would have changed how he played. Interestingly he was not a serious trainer!!! That alone must have been a nightmare for his manager. In the end he was allowed to play his way and the other team members "fitted in" around his plays. I think it was his approach to the game and the fact that he was always smiling because he enjoyed what he did that gained him respect for fellow professionals. Finally, he played for Barcelona and they have a fierce rivalry with Real Madrid. Supporters for each team are quite vocal in their support, but he was actually applauded by Real Madrid supporters when he single-handedly took their team apart at the Bernabéu Stadium. This has not happened before or since. A true recognition of his appeal as a player.

Ronaldinho first recognised and then mentored an even greater player than himself. The one and only, Lionel Messi.

That reaction to the crossbar control at the end was brilliant. As a 10 year old in 2005 when that advert came out I was equally as floored. Majestical.

His smile and happiness when i play is what will ever make me favor him over other goats as Ronaldo/Messi (especially over Ronaldo, he sometimes does not even loomks like he is enjoying the game).

Ahhh been waiting for this one 🎉 great reaction! The magician leaving people speachless still nearly 20 years later. What an icon, he wasn’t on FIFA Street, he is FIFA Street. Inspired the freestyle gameplay and millions around the world to love football ❤

Brazil had a golden years during his time ! everybody on the team was absolutely super player what a pleasure to watch them!

He never played for the team i supported but he was still my favourite player to watch!

One of the best players to ever play the game. He played for the pure love of football. 150 years of passion infused in 1 player. Pure joy to watch. George best in the 70s was something else. But the magician is Lionel Messi. Played with Groucho for a few years at Barcelona. If the ball hits below the sleeve line on the bicep, it's usually a handball. Ref decides if accidental or not. 85%/90% of the time the ref will give a free kick or if it happens inside the 'keepers box' it could be a penalty to the opposing team depending on which team is guilty of the offence. It's called the beautiful game for a reason.😉✊️

Yes. Ronaldinho is the best football player the world has seen in my opinion. People talk about Pelé, Maradona, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc., but for me no one could match Ronaldinho. He could do stuff with a ball no other player has ever been able to.

That golden Trophy at the start was the Ballon D'or, the trophy for the best player in a given year

For a few years he was the greatest in the world, and he did it with a style and flair which made a whole generation fall in love with the beautiful game. The crazy part is he did this while partying and drinking pretty much 5-6 days a week, man was pure talent. Many of the players in this video he made look like kids, is some of the greats of the game, absolutely insane player in his prime.

I was right behind the ball at Fratton park for one of those free kicks you saw, my team Portsmouth were winning 2-1 when Ronaldinho smashed in that last minute free kick to draw the match 2-2. Amazing player, who described our fans atmosphere after that match as "The best in world football"

Soccer loving American here! You’re allowed to redirect the ball with your shoulder as long as it doesn’t touch your upper arm. Shoulder is part of your chest in soccer. “Soccer” also is slang for Association Football. London based Brits took the Soc from Association and started calling it soccer. Just a fun fact. Happy to see you’re enjoying it!

Ian, what is it? A cat bit your tongue? You have no words to describe how you are feeling right now, have you. That is the effect Ronaldinho's skills have on people. I have seen him doing that with the crossbar like 10 times in a row ,live, during the warm up before Champions league game. He is one of a kind..

He's the greatest to ever play the game, glad to see you enjoyed him!

His a legend and among the hall of fame soccer player. He is a must in FIFA soccer game and also in my football manager.

Dude you have no idea the joy this video brings me. I was 11yrs old when this majestic man came into my life. Joga Bonita por vida!

Just recently found your channel and I’m so entertained. You’re reacting to some quality stuff as well man, keep up the good work. I love seeing your reactions

King of freekicks would be Juninho. Good reaction! I really enjoy how a lot of U.S. reactors are able to understand the dribbles, techniques and all. There are plenty of people here that watched the game all their life but can't. They simply don't see it, they just watch the ball go left and right whilst drooling.

He was more an artist than a player. Unique.

Unique athlete! He's done stuff no one else can, really really amazing to watch.

Yeah! Ronaldinho my all time favourite player.♥ It's something because I'm a Barcelona fan and for 15 years I watched almost every game of Lionel Messi who is probably the best player of all time.

That smile, man. That damn smile.... My generation fell in love with the sport because of that man.

A player with no haters.. ❤❤❤

You should check out a futsal video. Futsal players are crazy technical.

Ronaldinho was an insanely talented and fun player to watch. He was one of those players who made you choose between your favorite team or a champions league match with him in it. Sadly it was only a few of those prime years. His carreer and life suffered from his social surroundings. Him being not the brightest bulb in the bulb in the basket, and people taking advantage according to tv documentaries. Specially his criminal brother dragged him deep into the hole. I have several dvd collections of players I grew up watching and admired. He is one of them. You are absolutely right there are things in football far more interesting and exiting then just the goals. Sure that is the explosion where is all comes together. But for me, I love watching the really skilled players, they don't even need to score a lot of goals. It is how they handle the ball. How they set up a counter attack. Put their team on the front foot by a single dicision. Their first touch, seeing openings and handeling accordingly just a fraction sooner then other players. The players that know when to accelerate and when to slow down the pace of the game. It is the kind of players playing with their heads up, knowing what the ball does out of pure instinct, and looking around them. Seeing everything. Knowing where the ball is at all times. It can be any position. A pass, a dribble, a tackle. As long as it is done with accuracy and finesse. And you know the that player did it with purpose and can do that same thing again. These players are rare. Youngsters playing Fifa tend to scream at every talent it is the next this or that. It does not happen. A player that changes and reinvents the game like Pele, Platini or Cruyff or Beckenbauer stands up once in a generation, if that. But when they do, be shure to enjoy it. Because that is football magic. Maybe it could interest you to take a look at European fanbases and the stadiums. The marches, the choreos of the fanbases around big derby games and champions league games, they are insane and a thing to behold. I was on the Gelbe Wand at Borussia Dortmund for many years. Sadly I got disabled by a car accident. But those where without a doubt in my mind, the best times of my life. If you ever get the chance. Go and experience it for yourself. Love the videos man. Great vibe.

The speechlessness at the end was priceless😂😂😊😊😊... That was an advert for ADIDAS

The final vid showing him hitting the crossbar is special effects... it fooled the football community for years! lol

At the end the crazy part is not his tekkers (the keep up shit), it's the fact that he pinged it off the crossbar to himself multiple times, returned with perfect control etc. It's fucking insane. One of the best technical footballers ever.

Do more of these please! great to watch your football journey!

Ronaldinho partied the night before games. It’s insane that he could still play at a high level.

hehe is that you speechless when he playing with the crossbar! yes my reaction too,he was something else,hell of a gifted player,loved watching him on the pitch with that big heart and smile, amazing footballer.

There was a game once with Barcelona (Ronaldinhos former club) vs Real Madrid (the one, where Cristiano Ronaldo used tp play), where Ronaldinho made a Hat-Trick (Scored 3 goals) and the Real Madrid fans gave him a standing applause for the perfomance. That barely happened again, cause of the tension and rivalry. Ronaldinho is and Outstanding Brazilian magician.

Ronaldinho is like the one player you just can't hate. Also go check out his bicycle kick against Villarreal, it's out of this world

glad you enjoyed it. He made the world love football ⚽️

Ahahah, when you were amazed by the juggling, I was SO waiting for it! Although many years after, we all had the same reaction dude.

Ronaldinho's flair and joy on the pitch were unmatched! His skill and passion for the game made every match a spectacle. Looking forward to seeing more legends like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Messi carry on the legacy. But let's cherish these moments while we can, as Messi's retirement draws near ⚽️🏆

Players like Ronaldinho are one in a million talents. There are many well talented players but he easily is my top 10 of all times. Great ball conrol 2nd to none, someone you could see having fun with the game. Unfortunately also loved partying more and more and even though he was one of the most unique talents became unbearable for the club. But he will always be remembered as one of the greates football players who ever graced us with their skills.

Ronaldinho The best Football player in World ⚽️ Respect from Brazil 🇧🇷

He was also popular because of the hardcore parties he would host at his houses along with Ronaldo Nazario another amazing player

Its 2002, i’m 14 years old and its the peak of summer in the UK and the World Cup is in full swing… Me and lads every lunchtime would play football completely negating food and would try to imitate the “flip-flap” in our Kickers… desperately trying “nut-megs” and blind passes… we were in love! Scorpion football was the big rage and we all wanted to be like that magician we saw on television at weekend… And then it happened… England pull Brazil in the Quarterfinals and the entire country is buzzing! Not only was everyone obsessed with Brazilian football on its own merit… Ronaldinho was who we all wanted to watch… the game was during school hours but the headteacher allowed us all to watch it in the school hall… He butchered us… i was devastated… he completely embarrassed us and put on a performance i think everyone who watched that match will remember… he finished the game off by scoring that goal @7.00 to knock is out of the tournament… It was on this day I knew… England are absolutely S**t at football and are never going to win a trophy in my lifetime 😝 Thanks Ronaldinho… 😂

Ronaldinho was truly the best when it comes to pure skill

The 7:00 goal was the first time I saw him. It was World Cup game against England and Brasil fielded 10 already famous guys and he was the only unknown player to me on the pitch. He introduced himself to the world stage with that free kick.

at the end there when you went speechless... now thats the perfect reaction to Ronaldinho

Barcelona fans experienced a blessed period. Ronaldinho followed by Messi (who also has the same close control). My personal favourite player was Zinedine Zidane; who played for Real Madrid, Juventus, Bordeaux etc. - elegant.

0:55 that's the Balon d'Or, an annual football award presented by French news magazine France Football since 1956 to honour the player deemed to have performed the best over the previous season (AKA the best player that plays in Europe). it's the highest prize for a football player ;9 greetings from Rimini, Italy

Ronaldino played in a great Brazilan side that had other great forwards like Ronaldo and Rivalido . They were called the three r's , they were a joy to watch and won the world cup in 2002

You’re the first American I hear to actually get his name right 😂🙏🏼, Ronaldinho was an absolute beast, a legend of the beautiful game, he was unstoppable and the greatest player of his prime , sadly his prime was only a couple years

I just love that goal vs Chelsea 3:44 . It is smooth and so natural. Pff! Golazo

To him all the stars of world football were in slow motion, just like the ball. He always had more time, and turned it into space, and back into time again at will.

I was waiting for this video.

He left you speechless, your reaction was awesome!!!

I've been playing football (soccer) for 17 years and counting, and I've been loving these reactions!

The adrenaline rush when scoring is a good observation. Football/Soccer is a low scoring game, where 1:1, 2:1, 1:0 etc. are common results after 90 minutes. That is why goals are so meaningful and make players and fans go crazy. At the same time, creating a goal when the ball is in the middle of the field can generally happen within 10 seconds at any point. This creates a constant tension despite the low amount of goals in total. Also, because single goals can decide matches it is more likely that the underdog wins than in a high scoring game like basketball, just because he was lucky once. This adds to the tension even when one team is much better on paper. Especially in the Cups, where low division teams get to play the 1st division teams, there are regularly big surprises and beautiful stories written, when an underdog manages to knock out the big boys :)

Ronaldinho will always be remembered as one of the greats of all time. You should have a look at him juggling the ball blindfolded. 🔥

Your face when He Hits 3 Times the crossbar 😂😂😂 Very nice Nice work by the way, keep going

It's usually called 'ball control', not handling ; )

he is the king of an era... and the most fun player to watch... and assisted Messis first goal... legend.

I am almost 60 and in my whole life as a football fan I have never seen a better player at ball control. He was out of this world! There have been better overall players (of course Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, Zico, Cruyff come to mind), but the footwork of Ronaldinho Gaucho stands on its own.

Ronaldinho had a sheer joy for the game, even at the highest level. Not a competitive type of enjoyment, the way Keane and Vieira might've enjoyed clashing with each other, but a more innocent, almost childlike pure joy for football, for playing with the ball, for having fun. Ball is life, and not many embodied that spirit the way Ronaldinho did on the pitch.

My favorite footballer of all time. Watching him was magical.

His reaction to the nike spot was the same we all had 20 years ago, we all watched it so many times for fun and to find the cuts in the edit. Still looks so realistic tbh Man that was only 2005 and it feels like a lifetime ago

To show how good Messi was, Ronaldinho used to tell people who joined his club Barcelona when they said he was the best player in the world, he would say no ‘there is a 14 year old in the youth team you need to watch’. That player was Messi. Watch Messi’s goal v Getafe or just a general greatest hits video

He's the smile of the sport

Dont know whether you noticed but when Ronaldino is kicking the ball at the cross bar of the goal, (during practice))that it actually comes right back to him, for him to repeat and repeat. An absolute genius with the ball. What you have to realise, is that he's playing against pro's, which made him all the more remarkable. One the very great players that came out of the Brazilian side that won so many World cups. Truly a great ambassador for football, what a guy!

I'm watching football about 30+ years. He was "the Chosen One".

I am always here for it over the year when random accounts use the formula of American tries to understand football then end up watching compilations recommended by viewers till the views disappear 😂. Lets go!❤️

Wow, soccer always was my number 1 sport and I really saw a lot of ronaldinho, but that clip at the end i never watched, i thought he would kick it against the crossbar and catch it once, madman did it like 5 times, crazy talent.

He's the reason why a lot of people love football

Dude, out of the park, again.Senior Ronaldinho was the Bee's Knees,he was worthy of adoration, his skills were akin to Godlike,he was, always and I feel always will be The Greatest of all time, richly deserved title, there are others similar to him, but none I believe as consistently good, day in day out,he is a truly passioned player of foot ball, only one international yellow card, also very fair

Dinho was magic. He played, he smiled, we all smiled with him!!!!

Ronaldinhos prime was short, he didnt care to actually train. But when it comes to raw talent, there hasnt been anyone like him. He was known as the magician

Ronaldinho was for me, the most skilled player I have ever witnessed and certainly the most fun player to watch. He loved the sport but not to the extend to "sacrifice" his life. He wanted to have fun on and off the football field. So he lacked practice sessions and went for more parties than it was good for him. I wish he would have found a better balance to continue his professional career for some more years, so we all could have watched him for longer. But who am I to judge him? He made a fortune and had fun doing it. He still loves to play futsal. I wish him all the best and he remains in my heart forever.
