Ronaldo Wikipedia footballer biography

He played for leading European teams, but at some point he himself made mistakes, especially in the first years of performance in Europe. In addition, his teams could not always achieve great success, although in each of them he was the main star. Moreover, despite the official date of birth on September 22, he was actually born six days earlier, September 18, but his mother decided to record another date in the certificate.

The name was given to the boy in honor of the obstetrician who took birth - Ronaldo Valenta. Ronaldo's early childhood was no different from other boys. All of them played football in the yard, and not necessarily a ball. A real leather ball in the life of a future football player appeared at the age of eight, when his father made a gift. At the age of 12, Ronaldo is already playing in the children's sports club "Valkeire", however, in a footzal.

But the young man also played large football, only for another team-“San Cristovan”. In both clubs, Ronaldo began to win various tournaments, to become the best scorer in them. The journalists began to pay attention to the football player, notes appeared in the press that a new star of the Pele level was growing in Brazil. It is clear that they said this about any more or less interesting football player, it was important to show yourself in the future, in adult football.

50 thousand US dollars were paid for it, and it was worth it. At Kruzeiro, the striker played one year, scored 57 goals, became the best team scorer. In one of the matches against Baya, the striker succeeded in a penta-trick and a goal gear. But PSV had a competitor in the person of Ajax. In the year, the player was included in the Brazilian national team and went to the World Cup in the United States.

There he never entered the field, but he received the title of champion. In addition, he talked closely with Romario, who recommended that he choose a PSV. The decision was made, the Dutch paid Kruzeiro five million pounds. In 36 matches, 35 goals for a new team, the summer Brazilian delighted everyone. PSV took third place in the season. The president of the Inter Milan Massimo Moraatti came to Eindhoven and entered into an agreement on the priority purchase of the player in the future.

Ronaldo went to Milan to negotiate. But then there was the second season in the Netherlands. In the first eight rounds, Ronaldo scored six goals, then he had the first health problems, his knees began to bother him. Therapy did not help, the doctors recommended the operation, and the striker dropped out for four months, in fact until the end of the season.

Ronaldo returned to the PSV at the very end of the championship, but could not help the team. The chances of the championship remained theoretical. The striker was dissatisfied with the attitude towards him from the head of the head coach of the lawyer, and did not want to further play for the PSV. On the horizon appeared "Barcelona", who wanted to see the striker at home.

PSV did not forget about the agreement with Inter. The team’s leadership invited Moratti to kill the amount proposed for the player of Barcelona, ​​it amounted to $ 20 million. The President of Inter refused, and in the year Ronaldo became a player of the blue granatovs. In addition, as part of the Olympic team, he won bronze medals in Atlanta, a contract was signed in the USA in the same place.

The player began the season perfectly, in the first three months he scored 17 goals and gave 5 assists. Bobby Bobby Robson could not get enough of Barcelona. True, another problem arose here. Ronaldo often began to fly to his homeland and after returning due to a change in time zones he played not so brightly. He began to blame the teammates. Nevertheless, Ronaldo became the best scorer of the championship, scoring 34 goals from the common teams.

Ronaldo offered a new long -term contract, but he decided to continue his career at Inter. There, not only Massimo Minatti, but also the numerous army of Tiffozi, was looking forward to him. Ten thousand people met him on the base of the club, and black and blue t-shirts with the tenth number were bought like hot pies. The Milan paid Barcelona for the transition of the player 25 million pounds.

Despite the fact that football in Italy was different from Spanish, here he was more tough with less bright attacking actions, Ronaldo began to enchant here. Fans gave him the nickname "phenomenon." His “Inter” was confidently the first in the series of A. The only competitor was Juventus. Everything was supposed to decide in a full-time duel, where a draw was arranged black and blue.

Many fans still remember the match so far. The whole question was whether the foul was on Ronaldo in the penalty area of ​​Juventus. The Milan people have no doubt, and in Turin they are confident in the correctness of the arbitrator. Be that as it may, Nerazzurri lost with a score of 0: 1, and could not become champions. Ronaldo was the first football player in history to twice become the owner of the Golden Ball.

Many hoped that this was only the beginning, but the next season came out for the “Inter” failure.

The team took only ninth place, Moratti changed four coaches. In such conditions, even several Ronaldo could not save the situation.The striker, who again took his ninth number, scored his first ball in the Champions League, and in the vote to the title of “Player of the FIFA Year” became the second, losing first place Zinedine Zidane. The season of the year began well for Ronaldo, but soon again began to bother the knee.

It took another operation and four months without football. After that, the striker was able to enter the field in the game with Lazio, but again received injury. It took a lot of time for treatment. Only at the end of the season, Ronaldo returned to the main composition, and Inter had a chance to win Skudetto. To do this, in the last round, it was necessary to win with Lazio, but as a result, a defeat, and the title once again at Juventus.

The season for the attacker was the last in Nerazzurri. In the year, after the World Cup, Ronaldo became one of the Galakatikos as part of Real Madrid. Madrid paid to Inter £ 40 million. The fans of the former club of the attacker considered the transition by betrayal, but Ronaldo himself did not pay attention to it. In Spain, he immediately began to show an excellent game, helped to become the “Real” champion.

However, in the Champions League, the “creamy” lost in the semifinals of Juventus, and this defeat was worth the dismissal to the chief coach Vel Bosk. The next few seasons were unsuccessful for both Ronaldo himself and his team. As a result, it all ended with the departure from the post of President Florentino Perez, who collected those same Galaxy.

The new President Ramon Calderon invited Fabio Capello, a supporter of tough tactical attitudes to the post of head coach. Ronaldo with the coach began conflicts, including because of the excess weight of the player, and in the end he decides to leave the club. The fourth European team for Ronaldo was Milan.
