Biography of Ronaldinho
Ronaldo de Assis Moreira (born 21 March 1980 in Porto Alegre, Brazil) is a footballer more commonly known as Ronaldinho Gaúcho due to his being from the Rio Grande do Sul state of Brazil.

His name Ronaldinho Portuguese for “little Ronaldo”, was originally devised as a means of distinguishing between himself and fellow Brazilian footballer Ronaldo. Among his many achievements and accolades, Ronaldinho has been awarded the FIFA World Player of the Year award twice as well as both the European Footballer of the Year award and the FIFPro World Player of the Year award once. He is widely regarded as the best player in the world by fans, pundits and peers alike, although he himself considers such talk ridiculous, having told FourFourTwo magazine, “I don’t even feel I’m the best at Barça.”

Professional career
He was introduced into the Brazilian national team in 1999. He debuted for the national team on June 26, 1999 against Latvia. In his first tournament participation he scored against Venezuela in the 1999 Copa América which the Brazilian team won.

Ronaldinho played a part in Brazil’s successful 2002 campaign to win the World Cup. One of the highlights of the tournament was an outrageous 35-metre free kick he scored against England in the quarter-finals in Shizuoka, although he was sent off soon after for a foul on Danny Mills. Following the sending-off, he was suspended for the semi final, but returned to Brazil’s starting line-up for the 2-0 victory over Germany in the final.

On June 29, 2005, he played a pivotal role as the captain of the Brazilian squad which won its second FIFA Confederations Cup title, and was named Man of the Match in a 4–1 victory over Argentina in the final. Pelé named Ronaldinho in his 125 Top Living Footballers in March 2004.

His career began in the youth team at Porto Alegre club Grêmio, under head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, who would later coach the Brazilian national team to glory in the 2002 World Cup. His first senior appearance came in the 1998 Libertadores Cup, and his penchant for goalscoring was quickly displayed, his career soon generating speculation and interest due to his phenomenal ball control and ability to score. This was followed by his introduction into the Brazilian national team in 1999.

In 2001 Ronaldinho left Grêmio to play European football. Despite bids from much larger clubs, he opted to play for PSG. During his time at PSG, the manager, Luis Fernandez, claimed that Ronaldinho was too focussed 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.

On November 19, 2005, he scored two amazing solo goals to help FC Barcelona to a 3–0 win over arch-rivals Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid. After he scored his second goal of the night, his team’s third, a large part of the Madrid faithful gave him a standing ovation, a rare feat which had not occurred since  Diego Maradona was playing for Barcelona.

In 2005 Ronaldinho was named as both the European Footballer of the Year and the best striker in the UEFA Champions League tournament of 2004/05. Ronaldinho is the third Brazilian to win the European Footballer of the Year Award. On December 19, 2005, he was again named FIFA World Player of the Year with 956 points, more than three times the 306 points of Chelsea’s Frank Lampard, who finished second in the poll, and the 190 points of Barça teammate Samuel Eto’o, third. He was chosen for the UEFA team of 2005 for the third time running in January 2006. He received more votes than any other player in that team. Over 1.5 million people participated in that vote.
