Ronaldinho was born on March 21, 1980 in Porto Alegre, a small city in Brazil, to a family with a strong soccer tradition. Ronaldinho, whose full name is Ronaldo Assis de Moreira, lost his father Joao when he was eight years old, at a time when Ronaldinho aspired to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Robert Assis, who starred for Gremio in the Porto Alegre region and was a successful member of the Brazilian national team.
Like many Brazilian internationals growing up, the most enjoyable part of Ronaldinho's day was going to the soccer stadium, and the route from his humble home in the favela to the pitch was the most frequented route for Ronaldinho, whose name hit the headlines in 1997, when Brazil's Under-17s youth team won the World Junior Championships in Egypt, with Ronaldinho became the top scorer for the championship team, a success that opened a new chapter in Ronaldinho's career.
Ronaldinho took his first step towards success in 1998 when he signed his first contract with local club Gremio, which soon earned him a place on the national team. on June 26, 1999, Ronaldinho made his debut for Brazil against Lithuania, and his first national goal came in the not-too-distant match with Paraguay. Paraguay.In 1999, he helped Brazil win the Copa América with six goals and was top scorer in the FIFA Confederations Cup with six goals.
In the international competition frequently eye-catching performance attracted the attention of many European giants, and Ronaldinho lovely "buck teeth" become his personal characteristics memorable. 2001 March, Ronaldinho transferred to the French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain and signed a five-year contract, and because the two clubs on the transfer fee has been controversial. Because of an ongoing dispute between the two clubs over the transfer fee, Ronaldinho waited five months before making his official European debut, but Gremio received only $4.5 million for his services.
More than two years in Paris was not exactly a success, with Ronaldinho scoring just 13 goals in more than 50 games, but he still shone at international level. Brazil stumbled in the 2002 World Cup qualifying round in South America, but has maintained a high level of athleticism since entering the final round of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, with Ronaldinho combining with Rivaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo to form the strongest attacking trident. With England's game, Ronaldinho first assisted Rivaldo to equalize the score, and then with a 35 meters away from the shocking hanging shot incredible breakthrough. Although he was shown a red card for a tackle on Mills seven minutes later, his brilliance was still hard to hide. And Brazil eventually went all the way to the gold cup.
After returning to Ligue 1 from the World Cup, despite his occasional fine performances and eight goals, his relationship with club manager Luis Fernandez deteriorated, and after failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, Ronaldinho was tempted to leave. His brother Robert Assis, his agent, began to approach Premier League giants Manchester United, while La Liga giants Barcelona, under new president Laporta, also entered the fray.
In July 2003, Barcelona bought Ronaldinho for a transfer fee of 25 million euros and signed a five-year contract. The Brazilian began to make his mark on this fertile soccer ground, and his arrival breathed new life into a sickly Barcelona. In the match against Sevilla, Ronaldinho made his La Liga debut when he drove the ball from the back of the field until he scored from 25 meters out. Ronaldinho scored a hat trick in an 8-0 win over Slovakia's Puchov in the League Cup.
In his first season in La Liga, Ronaldinho contributed 22 goals in all competitions for Barcelona, including 14 league goals, while the second half of the league created a 17-game unbeaten streak, as the Catalan giants finally awoke from a four-year slumber. In addition to Ronaldinho's unique psychedelic crossing, he can use free kicks, hooks and other ways to break the goal, the opponent's defense in front of him looks quite fragile, Ronaldinho not only for Barcelona to bring victory, but also more fans to bring extraordinary enjoyment.
In August 2004, Ronaldinho scored a hat-trick in Brazil's 6-0 win over Haiti. He has scored 13 goals in 34 appearances for Brazil so far. The new season of Barcelona after the introduction of players such as Deco, Eto'o, Edmilson and Belletti for Ronaldinho to provide a better interpretation of space. 2004 November, Barcelona in the Camp Nou 2-1 victory over the Serie A giants AC Milan, Ronaldinho with a dazzling false swing to make Nesta at a loss, the Brazilian followed by a powerful shot to bring victory for the Barcelona, which made the whole crowd of 90,000 fans suddenly boiled. 3 years, the Brazilian team has been the first to win the game, but the Brazilian team is not the first to win. Three weeks later, Ronaldinho led Barcelona to a 3-0 victory over La Liga rivals Real Madrid.
Ronaldinho's ability to combine vision, passing and deceptive breakaways with all manner of shots on goal has been an unmatched skill that has entertained the crowd. And the important thing is that he almost in any game with a smile on his face to fight, relaxed attitude to life also infected the Barcelona camp at the same time teammates, they can always be in the relaxed atmosphere to kill the opponent in the invisible. Barcelona captain Puyol said: "Ronaldinho's ability is not only to win the game, after leaving the field he also brings us important value, he always maintains a high mood, because he always has a good mood."
Winning the World Footballer of the Year in 2004 and the European Footballer of the Year in 2005, all these have fully proved the strength of Xiao Luo, who has gradually become another "King of the Ball" in the era of post-Maradona.

Tiny Lo's upbringing
Man Utd's No.7, forever a legend, is a hero among heroes, one after another, from Best and Robson to Cantona and Beckham.
"Ronaldo", the great surname, is synonymous with legend in the soccer world. The big Ronaldo with his rabbit teeth and the little Ronaldo with his peculiar hairstyle have conquered the world with their perfect performances.
When "Manchester United No. 7" and "Ronaldo" are fused, what kind of splendor and shock will it be? Until August 17th in the opening game of the English Premier League, when flying in the United side of the No. 7 Portuguese youth Cristiano Ronaldo with near-perfect stunning performance shocked the world, the answer to the riddle was not open. Some media even exaggerated: United fans seemed to have gone to heaven overnight!
The under-30s forgot Beckham, the under-40s no longer thought of Cantona, and the over-50s, who had waited 30 years, finally saw George Best again. Everyone knew: a new era had begun for Cristiano Ronaldo!
Plum blossoms come from bitter cold
With the same two predecessors, Big Luo (Ronaldo) and Little Luo (Ronaldinho), Little Luo was born in a poor family, his family's shabby shanty on a small hill, the walls are concrete, with the roof made of scrap iron has been shaky. The walls of his house were like bread crumbs, and the fence was practically a beehive. All the household goods amounted to ￡4,000 at most. He took it for granted to step on the rotting and smelly leaves and bits of gravel in front of his door and knocked gently on it. The poverty of his family's situation has made Tiny Ro determined to face the wall for 10 years in order to break it down.
Little Ronaldo, who has two sisters and an older brother, was seven or eight years old when Ronaldo knew enough to go out and do odd jobs to supplement his family's income. Ronaldo's father is very fond of soccer, which also makes Ronaldo very like soccer at a very young age, but not rich Funchal does not have a lot of suitable sites to play football, in the yard of Ronaldo's house is full of discarded garbage and plastic bags, and the nearby streets are also full of rusty scrap iron and gravel head. But despite all this, Ronaldo's skills continued to improve at an incredibly rapid pace.
Tiny Lo's father, Diniz Aveiro, 44, is a fitter. "Although our family was poor, we were united. Now we are proud of Cristiano, he knows he comes from a poor background, he is determined and will give his best." Avello knows his son well.
Tiny's outstanding play soon caught the attention of the local Nacional club, and Tiny became a little-known star on the Nacional team. Ronaldo was the best young player I've ever seen, I couldn't believe his skills, we used to beat our opponents by 9 or 10 goals and Ronaldo used to score half of them," recalled Mendonca, the team's coach at the time. Ronaldo's talent also impressed Portuguese rivals Sporting Lisbon, who brought him in at the age of 13 for the low price of ￡1,500 in 1998. There, little Luo after 5 years of strict, scientific training, in his coach even some of the training of Figo such a big name of the master teacher. It probably didn't occur to Sporting Lisbon that five years later, Ronaldo's value has risen nearly 1,000-fold.
God favors the self-strong
In the first few months of joining the Sporting Lisbon junior team, Little Luo's Madeira country accent became the laughing stock of his peers in the capital city, for which he once had a very low self-esteem, more than once and mimic his speech of his teammates clashed, and a few times even blood flowed into the river! In the following year, Little Luo was nearly kicked out of the first team because he grew too fast, as the coach thought he was too clumsy. After 1 year of hard practice, in 2000, Little Luo finally became the best among his peers.
Then he managed to play for Athletic Club's U16, U17, U18, second and first teams, becoming the only player in the club's history to play at five different levels in one season.
At a warm-up match in August, he helped Athletic Club to a 3:1 win over Manchester United. This kind of performance made Ferguson not hesitate to 12.24 million pounds and 5-year contract to get him in the bag. At the same time also broke a year ago, another Portuguese Viana held 8.5 million pounds of young players in the Premier League transfer record, not only so, such a large sum of money is also Manchester United's history of transfer fee record in the top 5. He is worth exactly the same as Ronaldo was when he moved from PSV Eindhoven to Barcelona, more than 60 percent of this year's transfer fee for United's No. 1 target Ronaldinho and more than twice as much as compatriot Quaresma, United's No. 2 target at right-winger.
Cristiano (C-Ronaldo's given name)? He's fantastic, I think for a Premier League defender he's too technically luxurious." Figo's comments quelled any doubts about Tiny's ￡12.24million price tag. Portuguese legend Eusebio and No.1 star Figo were both full of praise for him. "As a player he can do whatever he wants, sometimes his technique of controlling the ball makes me pat myself on the back and I still don't understand how he does it." Eusebio even painted a brilliant future for Junior: "He's not just a soccer player, he's going to be one of the symbols of soccer. No matter which league he plays in, no matter which team he plays for, he will make the most important contribution."
Sporting Lisbon is a Manchester United partner club, and Ferguson has long had his eye on Quaresma and Tiny Lo, who is said to have signed a secret agreement with Lisbon last September that would have given priority to getting Tiny Lo in recent years. I did not expect Barcelona to strike quickly and get Quaresma first, and Chelsea was involved in the deal for Tiny Lo, threatening to bid a little higher than any United bid, and Ferguson was forced to double the original 6.6 million pounds offer to 12.24 million at the end of the day. Many in the British media mocked United for making a loss-making deal, but Ferguson still felt he had picked up a treasure by handing him the No. 7 left behind by Beckham.
A former friend of Junior's, Antonio, said: "He was so good on the ball that I was really amazed and jealous. At that time we all believed he would become famous one day. So when he joins United now, we're not really surprised except for being happy because he would have been able to do it."
Loyal boyfriend and dutiful son
Small Lo's girlfriend is none other than Joanna, the sister of Brazilian shot-stopper Jardel and now a Portuguese model. In his hometown, locals are already buzzing with speculation that he and Joanna will be the new Bey and the Spice Girls. A close friend said: "They love each other very much and are a very cute little couple. Joanna is a beautiful girl and although Cristiano is still young, he is quite loyal to Joanna. I'm sure they'll be England's newest center of attention - just like Beckham and Victoria."
Joanna is currently a hot domestic model in Portugal. She was introduced to Junior a year ago by big brother Mario Jardel, who had been in Lisbon for five years and was a rising star in the Sporting Lisbon team. When Joanna and Junior met, the fire of love between the two was burning brightly, and they couldn't get it out of their heads.
Mrs. Granja, who knows a lot about the relationship, had a good word to say about Junior: "They still don't live together, which is a very serious thing. Cristiano is a rare good boy, he is not like other players all day and beauty alcohol for the company. The relationship between the two is quite solid now and I think she will come to Manchester to watch him play when the day comes." In Madeira, Joanna became the object of every local girl's eye, as was the case with Victoria back in the day. Cristiano Ronaldo is the most household name on the island; everyone knows him and his family. Ronaldo represents the quintessential example of a poor boy's journey to success. Although Ronaldo now owns his own mansion, the tiny house surrounded by rubble and rusty metal that he lived in with his parents is still in his father's name.
Smaller has created a path to success with his soccer skills, but he has not forgotten his parents' upbringing. Earlier this year, he paid 50,000 pounds for a villa in the exclusive residential area of Madeira as a reward for his parents. The villa has five bedrooms and a beautiful view of the Gulf of Funchal from the windows. In addition, the villa is fitted with a strong metal gate and visual intercom for security purposes.
It's easy to see that Junior is a loyal boyfriend and a dutiful son, and we're looking forward to seeing how he performs on the field. 18-year-old Junior and 17-year-old Joanna Juddle will be the new "Bey and the Spice Girls" if they can achieve the same level of success as Beckham and Victoria did in the past.
Can we break the No. 7 circle?
Before the game with Bolton, most of the comments about him were in Portuguese, but after that 29-minute game, English became the dominant language, and it's clear that many Manchester United fans have joined the group of fans of Junior, with words like "genius" and "hope" everywhere. The words "genius" and "hope" were everywhere. Even the ever-harsh Ferguson didn't hide his praise for the Portuguese, "He seems to be a new heroic figure in the minds of the fans, and I have to use him carefully because you have to be clear that he is only 18 now, and I have to look after and protect him carefully."
Legendary superstar George Best was United's No. 7, and Ferguson's 17 years at the helm even made the shirt the symbol of the club's top players -- Bryan Robson, Cantona, Beckham. Now, it's exciting to see if Tiny Lo can continue the legend. In Ferguson's words, "This is a talent that we hope will stay at United for a long, long time and in my opinion he will get better and better as well." Two feet all-round, which reminds people of Fanny; able to play any position in front of the field, which reminds people of Scholes; but his beautiful footwork is now Manchester United simply dare not imagine, even he may be the United history of individual technology is the most magnificent player. When faced with British journalists, Little Luo actually frankly admitted that his idol was Henry, United's number one enemy, causing Ferguson to say helplessly, "That's a good start, he's obviously an honest man."
But I don't know whether it was heaven's jealousy or a thousand-year curse promised by the devil Satan, the Red Devils' No. 7 always had to feel the extremes of ice and fire on earth after enjoying countless glories. After Best was emptied of his body by alcohol, he had to replace his liver; Cantona retired early, let a person stifle his wrists; Beckham millions of people's favorites, but became the old master's outcast. Now that Tiny Lo has become the new owner of the Red Devils' No. 7, is his fate as unpredictable as that of his predecessors?
It's true that, compared to the success of Big and Little, Tiny has a lot to prove. However, he has been selected by Scolari's Portugal national team, always very picky in the selection of personnel, "Big Phil" has been determined to small Luo's status as a national footballer, in order to prepare for Euro 2004, Scolari plan for a rainy day. Although Figo, Costa is the backbone of the Portuguese team, but little Luo obviously represents the hope of the future of Portuguese soccer, "young 15 20, walking to capture the horse riding". But little Luo on their own future is also very apprehensive: "I do not think I am a genius, if not training today, tomorrow will regress. My relatives will help me grasp the direction, I will not lose myself."
