All people know ho ronaldinho is but they don\'t know how good hi play soccer in the street or in the arena. If you are a ronaldinho fans or not look at this video, RONALDINHO IS THE BEST!!Name:Ronaldo de Assis Moreira\nDate of birth March 21, 1980 (1980-03-21) (age 28) \nCLUB:BARCELONA\n\n\n\nRonaldinho was born in Porto Alegre, a city in the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil. Ronaldinho\'s mother Miguelina is a former salesperson who later studied to become a nurse. His father João was a shipyard worker and footballer for Cruzeiro. The family moved to a more affluent home in Porto Alegre when Ronaldinho\'s older brother Roberto signed to play professional football for Grêmio. João died when Ronaldinho was eight, after suffering a heart attack while swimming in the family\'s pool. This house was given to Roberto Assis as a present from Gremio to convince him to stay at the club. At the time, Torino were interested in him. Injuries ended Roberto\'s career prematurely, and he now manages Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho\'s sister Deisi works as his press coordinator.[7][8] Ronaldinho\'sson, named João after his father, was born on February 25, 2005. João\'s mother is Janaína Nattielle Viana Mendes, a former dancer on the Brazilian television show Domingão do Faustão.In his childhood, Ronaldinho\'s skill in football began to blossom due to his particular interest in futsal and beach football, which later developed into a fondness for more standardised football. His first brush with the media came after he scored all 23 goals in a 23-0 victory against a local team, at just 13 years of age.[4] His reputation as a footballer was built up through his childhood, particularly since he was identified as a rising star at the Egypt 1997 under-17 world championship.[10] He scored two goals in the tournament, both penalty kicks.Ronaldinho\'s career began in the youth team at Porto Alegre club Grêmio, under head coach Celso Roth, who only played him due to immense pressure fromthe Gremio supporters. His first senior appearance came in the 1998 Libertadores Cup,[12] and his penchant for goalscoring was quickly displayed, his career soon began generating interest due to his phenomenal ball control and ability to score. This was followed by his introduction into the Brazilian national team in 1999.Towards the end of his career at Grêmio, in 2001, many clubs from all over the world, particularly Premiership teams in England such as Manchester United, were eager to sign him as an attempt to attain a player who was both a \"big name\" and was also performing well. Despiteseveral generous bids from Premiership teams,[13] and several requests from Grêmio (they offered £7000, or $13,825 USD a week),[citation needed] Ronaldinho signed a five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain FC, to whom he moved at the beginning of the 2001-2002 season.Between leaving Grêmio andstarting his contract at PSG, Ronaldinho had expressed an interest in a temporary spell with Scottish Premier League side St Mirren F.C., though this ultimately fell through owing to his involvement in a fake passport scandal in his homeland.During his time at PSG, the manager, Luis Fernandez, claimed that Ronaldinho was too focused on the Parisian nightlife rather than on his football, and complained that his holidays in Brazil would always drag on and never end at the scheduled times.[12] He developed a reputation for performing brilliantly against the bigger teams, but against the smaller teams he seemed to drift in and out of the games.After the 2002 World Cup, having shown his worth on the international scene, there was no shortage of interest from bigger clubs. In 2003, Ronaldinho made it clear he wanted to leave PSG after they failed to qualify for any European competitions. Ronaldinho\'s desire to leave set off a bidding war among the top European clubs (Manchester United and FC Barcelona the notable examples) for his services.[12] The club that ended up winning the battle for his services was FC Barcelona. Manchester United also wanted him, but due to the constraints of being a PLC, could not come to an agreement with PSGOn July 19, 2003, FC Barcelona acquired Ronaldinho for£21 million.[15] Originally, Barcelona President Joan Laporta had promised to bring David Beckham to the club, but following his transfer to Real Madrid, Barcelona entered the running for Ronaldinho and beat Manchester United to his signature. It was thought that a failure on the part of the English and French clubs to agree on a fee was the reason Manchester United\'s deal fell through. Ronaldinho is also said to have signed with Barcelona instead of Manchester United because of his friendship with former Nike executive in Brazil and Barcelona\'s then vice-president in charge of sports, SandroRosell.[16] Ronaldinho\'s signing with Barcelona follows in the footsteps of a number of illustrious fellow countrymen who enjoyed successful careers with the club, including Romário, Ronaldo and Rivaldo. best, brazil, c.ronaldo, nike, pepsi, player, soccer, street
