Reuters abgerufen Brazil soccer legend Ronaldo retires. Sopimus ulottui syyskuuhun saakka. Ronaldo pelasi Corinthiansin riveissä 40 ottelua ja teki niissä 15 maalia.

Sopimus päättyi syyskuun Ronaldo on pelannut Brasilian maajoukkueessa 97 ottelua vuosina — ja tehnyt niissä 62 maalia. Hän oli myös saavuttamassa Brasilian riveissä pronssia olympiaturnauksessa.

Ronaldo voitti Brasilian riveissä mestaruuden vuoden MM-kilpailuissa. Hän ei kuitenkaan pelannut turnauksessa minuuttiakaan.

Ronaldo teki turnauksessa neljä maalia [7]. Hän ei kuitenkaan ollut parhaimmillaan turnauksen loppuottelussa saatuaan seitsemän tuntia ennen ottelua mystisen sairauskohtauksen [8].

Vuoden MM-kilpailuissa Ronaldo johdatti Brasilian mestaruuteen. Ronaldo voitti turnauksen maalikuninkuuden kahdeksalla maalillaan [10].

Ronaldo kertoi tavoitteekseen vuoden MM-kilpailut, mutta Valmentaja Dunga ei kelpuuttanut häntä Brasilian miehistöön. Ronaldo on kärsinyt urallaan kolme vakavaa polvivammaa.

Ensimmäisen hän sai pelatessaan Interissä vuonna ja toisen heti palattuaan kentille vuonna sekä kolmannen pelatessaan Milanissa vuonna Ronaldoa on syytetty myös ylipainosta.

Tästä hän sai kritiikkiä erityisesti Real Madridissa pelatessaan. Ronaldo kärsi varsinkin uransa loppupuolella hypotyreoosista [4].

Tämä artikkeli kertoo vuonna syntyneestä brasilialaisesta jalkapalloilijasta. Muita samannimisiä henkilöitä on täsmennyssivulla.

He had such an ease with the ball. Every day I trained with him, I saw something different, something new, something beautiful. His innate ability went beyond anything that I'd ever seen or played alongside.

On 18 January , it was reported that Ronaldo agreed terms with A. After his move to Milan, Ronaldo joined the list of the few players to have played for both Inter Milan and A.

Milan in the Derby della Madonnina , and is one of few players to have scored for both rival teams in the Milan derby game for Inter in the —99 season and for A.

Ronaldo, however, has never transferred directly between rival clubs. Ronaldo only played plus minutes in his second season at Milan due to recurring injury problems and weight issues.

On 13 February , Ronaldo suffered a severe season-ending knee injury while jumping for a cross in Milan 1—1 draw with Livorno, and was stretchered off and taken to a hospital.

It marked the third such occurrence of this injury, which he suffered twice to his right knee in and His reaction was the same.

I called him last evening and told him to believe in himself. He has enormous physical potential. Ronaldo trained with Rio de Janeiro based Brazilian club Flamengo during his recovery from knee surgery, and the club's board of directors said that the doors were open for him to join.

But I was training with Flamengo for four months and didn't receive any offer. Corinthians made an offer that will let me continue my career.

His second goal, a chip over the Santos goalkeeper from 30 yards out, sent the Corinthians fans into hysteria.

Ronaldo scored in Corinthians 4—2 aggregate defeat of Internacional in the final of the Copa do Brasil , helping the club win the trophy for the third time the second of his career , thus earning a spot in the Copa Libertadores He finished the Brazilian Serie A with 12 goals in 20 matches.

In February , Ronaldo signed a contract extension with Corinthians that would keep him with the club until the end of , and said he would then retire.

In February , after Corinthians were eliminated from the Copa Libertadores by the Colombian team Deportes Tolima , Ronaldo announced his retirement from football, concluding an year career.

Mentally I wanted to continue but I have to acknowledge that I lost to my body. The head wants to go on but the body can't take any more.

I think of an action but I can't do it the way I want to. It's time to go. Ronaldo made his international debut for Brazil on 23 March , in a friendly match in Recife against Argentina ; [] his first senior goal for Brazil came on 4 May , in a 3—0 friendly win over Iceland.

In the Olympic Games in Atlanta , Ronaldo played with the name Ronaldinho on his shirt, since centre back Ronaldo Guiaro , two years his senior, was one of his teammates.

Brazil went on to win the bronze medal. He was named player of the tournament in , was the top scorer in , and he scored in the finals of both — against Bolivia in and Uruguay in Their partnership was brief but it was inexplicably brilliant.

Ronaldo scored four goals and made three assists en route to the final , [] [] scoring once and assisting Bebeto's goal in a 3—0 win against Morocco in the team's second group stage match, [] netting twice in a 4—1 win against Chile in the round of 16, set—up two goals in Brazil's 3—2 victory over Denmark in the quarter-finals, [] [] and scored once in the 1—1 draw against the Netherlands in the semi-finals, also netting Brazil's first penalty in the 4—2 shoot—out victory.

Ronaldo was the last Brazilian player out of the tunnel as the teams entered the field. During the playing of the Brazil national anthem the camera focused on him throughout, with Ronaldo showing little emotion.

At that moment I'd have to go and live on the North Pole. Here was the world's most famous sportsman, about to take part in the most important match of his career, when he suddenly, inexplicably, fell ill.

Was it stress, epilepsy, or had he been drugged? Prior to the FIFA World Cup , Ronaldo had barely played since rupturing the cruciate ligament in his right knee in April , and he missed Brazil's entire qualification campaign where, in his absence, the team had been poor.

Tim Vickery writes, "Without Ronaldo, Brazil were a shambles, fortunate even to get to the tournament. With him, it was a different story.

It was a fabulous feeling actually to hold it in my hands and kiss it. Ronaldo scored against every opponent in the tournament except in the quarter-finals against England.

He revealed, "when I arrived in training with this haircut everybody stopped talking about the injury". He's back to where he was; it's hugely satisfying and I am very moved.

It was a team without any vanity, or individuals. The collective was important. On 2 June , Ronaldo scored an unusual hat-trick of penalties for Brazil against arch-rivals Argentina in a World Cup qualifying match.

But I know that one day they will be broken. I have seen il Fenomeno do things nobody else has ever done. Ronaldo played for 15 minutes in a match that ended with a Brazilian victory with a goal from Fred.

Ronaldo was introduced after 30 minutes, partnering year-old Neymar in attack, and had three shots on target which were saved by the Romanian goalkeeper.

On 13 December Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane played a charity match with their friends against former and current players of the German team Hamburg in the ninth edition of the Match Against Poverty series, which Ronaldo and Zidane established in Ronaldo was chosen as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme UNDP in as he had the highest global appeal among sportspeople, and he accepted the role as he saw it as "an obligation" to help with causes around the world.

Ronaldo is regarded as one of the greatest and most complete forwards of all time. His coach at Barcelona, Bobby Robson , commented: "Ronaldo could start from the halfway line and the whole stadium would ignite.

He was the fastest thing I've ever seen running with the ball. Had he managed to stay free of injury, he had every chance of becoming the best footballer ever.

He was so natural, so cool, so utterly in control. He would dip the shoulder, step over, and bang!. What stood out to all of us, from the moment we met Ronnie, was that he could do things which other players found very difficult and make them look easy.

But he could also produce those things while running at an unbelievable, explosive pace. There will never, in my view, be a better player than him.

He was so fast he could score from nothing, and could shoot the ball better than anyone I've seen. Ronaldo, as so many of those who looked up to him acknowledge, changed what it is to be a centre-forward.

Every time you see a striker who is expected to hold the ball up, beat players, win headers, shoot from range, drop deep, do everything a striker can possibly do — it might be worth remembering him.

He shifted boundaries, challenged convention, just as much as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have altered our perceptions of what a winger might be.

Ronaldo, the original Ronaldo, inspired a phalanx of imitators, players we see on our screens every weekend. But he also turned the game so that it will always look just a little bit like him.

More than most, he made that No. Most strikers need the midfielders and their teammates, but he does not. The speed of thought he had — and the speed he had to carry out his actions — were perfect.

Ronaldo is the hardest attacker I've ever had to face. He was impossible to stop. He was unmarkable. At the first check you passed, the second burned you, the third humiliated you.

He looked like an extraterrestrial. Comparing his natural ability to Roger Federer , Paul MacDonald of Goal writes, "there's a joy to be had watching something we know to be extremely difficult executed with considerable ease.

Ronaldo in his prime was able to do that better than anyone who has ever played the game. And usually, he was right". The other Ronaldo and Messi were brilliant teenagers but had nothing like the same impact at that age.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi have had longer careers. They have remained at the top every day for 15 years. However, if we are talking strictly about talent and skill, nobody surpasses Ronaldo.

At his physical peak in the s, Ronaldo became severely affected by the knee injuries he suffered from late onward and the subsequent weight gain during his inactivity, which limited his speed, fitness, and mobility.

This makes the relationship between the kneecap and the femur a bit unstable. There is no direct surgery for that so the kneecap keeps, for a lack of a better word, "dancing" on the femur.

Ronaldo's injuries weren't because his body was weak, but because of his explosive capacity. He didn't just run fast in a straight line, he also changed direction at incredible speed.

Ronaldo moved from left to right very fast Football is all about passion. We want to build the best team possible to compete while also giving information about our management with transparency.

In April , Ronaldo married Brazilian footballer Milene Domingues , at the time pregnant with the couple's first son, Ronald, who was born in Milan , on 6 April Despite his fame — a poll by Nike listed him the world's most famous sportsperson and third most famous person overall — Ronaldo is protective of his privacy, including with teammates, stating in an interview with The Telegraph , "each [player] has his own private life, and no one thinks about anyone else's private life.

Or talks about it. In a interview with Folha de S. Paulo , Ronaldo revealed that, somewhat unexpectedly, he identified racially as white , [] generating a wider conversation about the complex role of race in Brazil.

Actually, at the time, I thought it was some philosophy, something to that effect. Because he knows he's black. An individual who considers himself white may be genomically more African than an individual who considers himself to be brown or black.

In April , Ronaldo was involved in a scandal involving three travesti prostitutes whom he met in a nightclub in Rio de Janeiro. Coincidentally, Maria Alice was born exactly 10 years after her older brother Ronald.

Milan in The boy was born after a brief relationship between Ronaldo and Michele Umezu, a Brazilian waitress who Ronaldo first met in Tokyo in He invites everybody.

You'd be at a table with him and it'd be a judge sitting opposite talking to a politician with someone off the street listening in. So he just had this amazing aura, where everyone wanted to join him.

Sometimes there'd be 20 to 30 people sitting at meal times with him. He was a wonderful person. Everybody would second that, no matter what club he played for.

Ronaldo has appeared in various commercials, from Snickers chocolate bar to Pirelli tyres. Ronaldo has been sponsored by sportswear company Nike since the early part of his career.

We thought a modern construction of his boot would be a great commemoration of that moment. Ronaldo has appeared in a series of Nike commercials.

Milan da Corinthians. One of the most marketable sportsmen in the world, the first Nike Mercurial boots—R9—were commissioned for Ronaldo in At the World Cup , he received the Golden Ball for player of the tournament, helping Brazil reach the final where he suffered a convulsive fit hours before the defeat to France.

He won a second World Cup in where he starred in a front three with Ronaldinho and Rivaldo. Ronaldo scored twice in the final , and received the Golden Boot as the tournament's top goalscorer.

Having suffered further injuries, Ronaldo retired from professional football in As a multi-functional striker who brought a new dimension to the position, he has been the outstanding influence for a generation of strikers that have followed.
