Ronaldo was already an icon even before he became known as a soccer player. Everyone can describe the moment in “Phenomeno.” He is a symbol of revival and resilience from adversity.
Filling our “Hall of Fame” with the most legendary footballers of all time will force you to make the difficult choice of choosing from among the great players who have shined through the history of nearly 150 years. So, without undermining our respect for other historical stars, we are icons that represent the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the new century,In other words, I decided to start with Ronaldo.。
Ronaldo's career has distinctive characteristics that set him apart from other players. Even the least enthusiastic football enthusiasts can explain the most important moments of “Phenomeno” career.
An incredible goal against Lazio in Monte Carlo, a slalom slipping through the defensive lines, a World Cup trophy with a haircut that is far from normal, and a sound of a knee breaking at the Olympic Stadium, a famous photo of the plane's ramp that brought the Brazilian national team back home after the 1998 French tournament. The five moments that first came to mind, but are merely a snippet of a career filled with legendary, unforgettable scenes and, above all, iconic scenes.
This is because Ronaldo was an icon first before he was a great football player. An icon from the era when soccer quickly transformed. The transformation, which changed in an instant, technically, sporting and economically, was, in a sense, led by a boy who grew up in the dusty town of Bento Ribeiro.
