Ronaldinho aims for the Libertadores

18copa-articleLarge

His full name is Ronaldo De Asis Moreira but he is also known as Ronaldinho. He is now 33 years old and he is a legend of soccer: in all teams that he has ever been, he was the best.

He always won a lot of trophies, but now in his actual club he wants to win one of the most important trophies of the world: the “Copa Libertadores” of South America.

Against Newell’s Old Boys, his team lost the first game in Argentina. But Ronaldinho never gives up; they beat them in penalties in the second match. Now, the final is against Olimpia, team which has won this competition 3 times before. Ronaldinho won a lot of things in Europe but he said that he wants to win this trophy because it isvery important to him and his career.

There will be two matches: the first one will be in Paraguay and then, in Brazil. The favorite is Ronaldinho’s club Atletico Mineiro. I hope Ronaldinho wins this trophy because he is amazing. I like very much how he plays. A lot of people said that he doesn’t have his magic anymore but I think he still is fantastic and he will win that important trophy to end his career.

Ronaldinho wants Paris Saint Germain

PSG_RonaldinhoRonaldinho should end his career at a big club because he still has a lot of potential. It would be an honor similar to David Beckham retiring at Paris Saint Germain.

And as a matter of fact, Ronaldinho wants to go to Paris Saint Germain because he has history there. It was his first big club in Europe and it was an important step to move then to FC Barcelona, where he played his best football. In this time with Barca, he won the FIFA World Player of the year award, two Spanish leagues and a UCL title.

I think it would be good for Paris Saint Germain to see Ronaldinho end his career with them, because of his football history with the club. Besides, it would be good publicity for the club as he is an ambassador of good football and a very fair and loved player with a great personality.

Joga Bonito Ronaldinho


This youtube video shows a feat of football skill performed by Ronaldinho.

I think it’s great because Ronaldinho doesn’t allow the ball to touch the ground for an extended period of time. It shows him juggling the ball using his head and feet. It also shows him breaking in boots which is usually an uncomfortable process and he makes it look easy.

His body language is relaxed and he shows he enjoys playing with the ball.

This video captures Ronaldinho at his peak. It shows a moment in time when he was the best football player in the world.

I believe that anyone with an interest in football can appreciate this video and his talent at that time.
