The subject was not very unexpected. It would have been surprising if Romario was also offered to Brazil in 2002 World Cup. 35-year-old Romario was also in the planning of Brazilian coach Scolari after two World Cup qualifying matches against Bolivia and Venezuela, and scored 4 goals .
But in the absence of eye surgery, Copa América did not play, and Scolari went off to play friendly matches and Romario was supposed to miss. Eventually, the young people of Brazil, the selectors, even after the President's request, did not believe in Romario without being in the team . The young man named Ronaldinho
The 2002 World Cup for Ronaldinho was not the first in Brazil's jersey. He also played in the 1999 Copa America winning team and also scored a goal in the tournament. But naturally it was not getting to play from the start of the match.
The first time that opportunity was won in the 1999 Confederations Cup. In that tournament, many senior players, including Rivaldo, Ronaldo, were rested as the main players, and also took advantage of the opportunity. Before the final, he scored every match, made a remarkable hat-trick in the semi-finals. Not only did the goal go in the finals, perhaps because of the reason Brazil lost to the final of the tournament. Ronaldinho won the tournament's top goalscorer and best player award.
However, replacing Romario was not an easy thing to do during the World Cup tournament. Ronaldo has just returned from injury. He did not play very bad in the World Cup matches, he scored his second penalty goal against China in the penalty. However, Ronaldo and Rivaldo were both very good, and therefore, Limelight did not come up to Dinho.
He did not take too much time to bring the focus on himself. There are many performers, but the player who can match the most needed day, he must be special. That day came to the quarter-finals in the final In the group stage, Costa Rica, China and Turkey, and the second defeat in Belgium, the main barrier came in the quarter-final against England. The match was in the tournament's unwritten final of the tournament. The golden generation members represent the England team. Players like Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand or Michael Wayne are in English squad.
Michael Owen, England's lead in the 23rd minute of the game, goes forward. Brazil's supporters are skeptical of being knocked out of the tournament naturally. In that conflict, Rivaldo plotted the first hope for Rivaldo. He scored the equalizer in the second half of the match with Brazil to equalize. But Ronaldinho, who was the master craftsman, dropped the Defenders at a brisk pace and threw England goalkeeper with Wayne in one position with Rivaldo on a perfect pass. There was not a slight problem for the goal from rounds.
However, the work that Dinho did, the result was that the whole of the spotlight came up on top of it. Brazil got a free kick in the 50th minute of the match. From about 40 yards away, English keeper David Simon was fooled by the fact that he was recognized as one of the best goals in the tournament and Brazil got the next episode ticket. Two goals in the tournament and 2 assists were found in the All-Star team of the World Cup . The emergence is a new superstar.
Although Ronaldinho did not perform as a central player in Brazil, he did great performance in the World Cup. Ronaldo and Rivaldo were the main players in the attack, and Ronaldinho had originally played as a supporting player. Barcelona got the opportunity to identify themselves for the top club in Europe.
The time Ronaldinho joined Barcelona, the club was crossing a very transitional period. The league won 1998-99 season In the next four seasons, the league is ranked second, fourth, fourth and sixth respectively. The election pledge of Barcelona's new president, Huan Laporta, was David Beckham. But Ronaldinho, who was defeated by the rival club Real Madrid, lost the war.
The bad conditions of the club are going on, at this moment a young player like Ronaldinho should be a big challenge for the team to return to orbit. Ronaldinho quickly joined himself to join the team. But unfortunately, he missed many early matches of the league. When he returned to the team in the middle of the season, Barcelona's position was 12th in the league. At the end of the season, he brought Barcelona to second place. Although the club did not win a title, FIFA won the year's prize for personal performances .
In the next season, he won the league in Barcelona, which is the first since 1999. In that season, Barcelona started well in the Champions League, but in the second leg, Chelsea were dropped 5-4. Ronaldinho scored 2 goals in the second leg of the second leg, losing 4-2. Although Barcelona were eliminated in the second leg, the team scored 4 goals for the day.
Ronaldinho also won the Brazilian Confederations Cup in the same season and also won the Man of the Match in the final of the tournament . Get the FIFA World Player of the Year award also.
Ronaldinho's 2005-06 season is very cool for Barcelona. Won the second leg of the league title Apart from the 3-0 win over Real Madrid, Madrid fans got the salute with two goals , which is not what happened after Maradona's second in the history of Barca. Ronaldinho was not the main reason behind losing the star-studded team with the likes of Casillas, Roberto Carlos, Zidane, Beckham, Raul, Robinho, Ronaldo.
Ronaldinho was also a great champion in the Champions League. Barcelona had won only once in their history in the Champions League, in 1991-92. The statistics are enough to prove how much Ronaldinho had won in the champions league after 14 years. He was the highest assistant of the tournament (4) and second highest scorer (7).
Ronaldinho went on to win the World Cup in Brazil for a great season.
Ronaldinho was the only player to win the award twice, since the start of the FIFA World Player of the Year since 1991, his cradle Ronaldo But three times no one could win. To make the truth come true for the 2006 World Cup. The defeat of the rest of the team with the powerful Brazil was not going to be a very difficult thing to do with the club like Real Madrid, like Barcelona. Ronaldinho went to the World Cup after being the top performer at the club level, to be the best of all time.
World Cup win is one of the main reasons for Pele or Maradona, who are ahead of all-time runners. It was won by Ronaldinho in the previous World Cup, but still the drawback is that the win was not found as a central player. When Pelé or Maradona won the World Cup, the group was surrounded by them. Ronaldinho found that opportunity in the 2006 World Cup Ronaldinho, who won the FIFA World Player of the Year three times as the first player and won the Brazilian title for the sixth time, went to the World Cup.
However, Ronaldinho was the super flop in the World Cup. Can not make a single goal in the whole tournament. The team dropped out in the quarter-finals against France. Ronaldinho understands how bad a World Cup has happened, from an information. The year was won by the Italian Caravaro in Italy and secondly Jean-de-Zidane of France, who did not win any title for the club in that season. However, Ronaldinho became the third in the list of the year after winning the UEFA Champions League, the club's highest-ranked title.
Ronaldinho's fall began since that World Cup.
Ronaldinho failed to win Barcelona's title in the 2006-07 season with 21 goals in the league. Real and Barcelona's points are the same at the end of the season, but according to the tournament's bilaje, the head-to-head ' Dinaho failed to stay in the top three of the FIFA World Cup at the end of the season.
AC Milan did not return to the best form in the 2008-09 season. Later in the Brazilian domestic league. There Copa Libertadores won for Atletico Mineiro, but never got the FIFA World Player of the Year or the FIFA Pro XI. The form was so short of that, at the 2010 World Cup, Brazil were not included in the World Cup squad.
The star of Ronaldinho, which started in the 2002 World Cup, was the beginning of the fall from the 2006 World Cup.
However, during this short period, Ronaldinho has shown to the whole world the magic that experts are concerned about it when it is discussed. Pale-Maradona is never blamed for his ability or the lack of talent, because of his ability to not be the best of all time, he is blamed for his fanaticism.
At least in the 2006 World Cup, he could have played his best, but he was still at the top of the world considering the best of all. The regret of not doing that is not only his own but also the supporters.
