Ronaldo, the story of an unattainable phenomenon
Ronaldo

Ronaldo feno meni turns 46 today. A player who has inspired generations of people. Ibrahimovic considers the leader unattainable, the best of all. What would have happened if Ronaldo had not been affected by injuries?

"Take a pistol with you, and the moment you shoot, pray you're quick enough to catch him."

These are the words of Billy Costacurta, who explained the only way to stop what was considered the one and only "O' Fenomeno" Ronaldo.

His story begins when he is discovered one day by a banker named Alexandre Martins, who in his spare time worked as a hunter of young talents, who found him by chance in a field on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. "Hey friend, I have found a golden boy", he says to his colleague and partner Reinaldo Pitta. From there he signed a contract with Cruzeiro, where after a while the Legend of R9 began.

"Giving the ball to him was like scoring half a goal," says Brazilian Jairzingo. In the Belo Horizonte club, Ronaldo makes the whole world talk about him. From South America to Europe.

After the stage with the Dutch PSV team where his friend and patriot Romario had played, Ronaldo is wanted by Barcelona. In his only Catalan year, the Phenomenon still amazes everyone with his fantastic play, dribbling and amazing goals.

Here we mention one of his most beautiful goals against Compostela on October 12, 1996, where his coach Sir Bobby Robson, caught on camera, shouted: “It can't be true! How is it possible?!"

But surprisingly, after just one season (47 goals in 49 games) Ronaldo decides to leave Catalonia. From there he moved to Inter after the purchase by President Massimo Moratti. He went to Inter for the staggering figure of 51 million euros, paying the full clause.

The Brazilian found the unconditional love of the Inter fans, as well as coach Gigi Simoni with whom he had a unique relationship.

"Ron was kind, funny and generous. Everyone loved him. We had a great rapport, it was just a little lazy. I told him to train a little more, and he said: "Mister, 25 goals is enough for me, he always "corrupted" me with these answers."

But while the coach, fans and teammates loved him, there were also those who "hated" him, obviously the opposing defenders.

From Maldini, Thuram, Nesta and Cannavaro, if you asked anyone who was the strongest striker they faced, they would all answer Ronaldo.

"It was irresistible. In the first control, he surpassed you, in the second, he humiliated you. An extraterrestrial," says Fabio Cannavaro.

Even the narcissist Zlatan Ibrahimovic admits that: "There will never be another player like that".

At Inter he also spent 5 turbulent years, involved in disappointments and injuries more than victories. After conflicts with coach Hector Kuper, the Brazilian is transferred to the reigning European champions, Real Madrid of Figo, Zidane, Raul.

After 4 and a half years with the Galaxy, Fenomeni surprised everyone in the January 2007 market when he was transferred to Milan, Inter's eternal rival.

Whoever you ask what kind of player Ronaldo was, the answers are the same: "inhuman", "extraordinary", "phenomenon".

But the question that naturally arises is: What would have happened if it had not been damaged? But one thing is certain, that the name Ronaldo will remain in the list of legends.
