The Brazilian Ronaldo


Ask any Brazilian who their favourite player is and most would say Fio Maravilha. He's was like a Brazilian George Best on and off the pitch.

He was the best ever for that spell.

Hmm for a ‘best ever’ forward his goals record doesn’t stand comparison to messi ronaldo pele. At the end of the day a forward is judged on goals and his goal stats are good but not great. He was good for a year or two then went fat. The lasting impression he will leave on the game is his fat f***ing ass

Just probably described Adriano there, not Ronaldo.

At his peak he was better than this Ronaldo as a No. 9. No doubts about it.

The game has changed now. Its almost non contact. Then you've also got second phase offsides etc too.

I'm not taking away what this Ronaldo has achieved in terms of goals but having seen them both from start to finish, the Brazilian was a better player.

Exactly this!! He was phenomenal and had absolute everything. Complete center forward

Correct.

I would prefer to watch fat ronaldo at his peak I agree to be honest. However I think the bloke with the other variant of the name- Ronaldinho - was better than the pair of them to watch. Absolute genius
 
Love out like the SMB's 90s lads trying to argue their childhood heroes haven't been totally usurped by the two modern legends me like

Take your bedroom posters down lads, they were good in their time but we're in the presence of all time greatness with Ronnie and Leo.
 
Most know the Brazilian, pre injury, was a better forward marra. He's called the Phenomenon for a reason. He played In a time you could be tackled, be offside etc. Sky boys won't know.
Peak Ronaldo is the greatest of all time. Shame his peak only lasted for 2 or 3 years. During that time he was a complete freak of nature. Never seen before or since.
