Ronaldinho lives his second youth. When it seemed that no one gave a damn for him anymore, Ronaldinho Gaucho has risen from the ashes. During the first years of the 21st century it was one of the best football on the planet. Watching Ronaldinho play was synonymous with spectacle and talent, It was fantasy at the service of the viewer.
His seasons at Barcelona were possibly his best years as a footballer., even winning the Ballon d'Or. In that Barcelona where a certain Leo Messi was beginning to emerge, Ronaldinho dazzled fans around the world with his imaginative football, talented and almost from another planet.
Like almost all Brazilian stars, His public life and scandals weighed down his career.. He put aside his physical form to the point of reaching a regrettable level and being better known for his affairs on the field.. There came a time when I didn't even go out to the training field..
Then he went to Italy to play for AC Milan. In three seasons there with the eighty on his back he was never the same again and in possibly his worst form., He returned to Brazil to join the ranks of Flamengo.
There he lived the best and the worst. He alternated periods of high level and others with less. The torcida of Flamengo took it with him and created a telephone line to report his nightly parties, which were not few.. In the end he left the club with controversy and a judicial resolution.
This took the summer of 2012 to Atlético Mineiro where he seems to have resurfaced. Ronaldinho (21 de mayo de 1980, Porto Alegre, Brazil) perhaps faces the last opportunity to return to who he was, to prove that he deserves a bigger place in history. He was called up by Scolari shortly before the Confederations Cup in 2013 although in the end it was not mentioned. Who knows if the World Cup in Brazil 2014 could be the return of Ronaldinho.
