Although the history of football in Brazil is not as long as that of China or some European countries; it is certainly among the most interesting and rich. Brazil had a different approach to football. The love and fanaticism are indescribable. The country has managed to develop some of the most wonderful and best football players the world has ever seen. All these elements have contributed to creating a beautiful and surprising history of Brazilian football. Many players from Brazil were some of the best players who ever lived. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé, is considered the greatest footballer of all time. Many came after him and one who really caught people's attention was Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, also known as Ronaldinho Gaucho. Ronaldinho has enchanted fans around the world with his incredible football skills. The way he can move his feet with the ball leaves you speechless. At an early age, Ronaldinho was surrounded by football. Ronald De Assis Moreira was born on March 21, 1980 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. He was born into a family of football fans. His father, Joao da Silva Moreira, played for an amateur club and also worked as a valet at Gremio Football Club. His mother, Miguelina, worked as a shop assistant, but after continuing her studies she changed career to nursing. His older brother was also talented in football but could not pursue his career due to a knee injury. Now he is Ronaldinho's coach. Ronaldinho started playing football at an early age. He started playing organized youth football at the age of 7. It was then that he was first given the nickname “Ronaldinho”. “They always called me that when I was little because I was very small and I played with players bigger than me.” up in a nei...... really poor middle of paper...... players. One of the greatest players in the world right now, Leo Messi, is a great example of this. “Ronaldinho was responsible for the change in Barça. It was a bad time and the change that came with his arrival was amazing. In the first year he didn't win anything but people fell in love with him. Then the trophies started arriving and he made all those people happy. Barça should always be grateful for everything they have done." Ronaldinho has won the hearts of many fans around the world. His playing style was rare and everyone seemed to love him. The impact Ronaldinho has had on football is unparalleled. At a young age he achieved many goals, both individually and with a team. The game of football wouldn't be the same without him. It created my passion for the game and probably many other fans just like me. Salute to one of the greatest. Ronaldinho Gaucho.
