Lo avevano etichettato con ogni epiteto possibile, da ex-calciatore ad obeso senza più speranza di rilancio di carriera. Ronaldo Luis Nazario da Lima, nato a Rio de Janeiro il 22 settembre 1976, ha annunciato il definitivo ritiro dalla carriera calcistica; la colpa va ad una sequela di infortuni infinita, ad un fisico penalizzato da fibre ossee e muscolari fragilissime.
Nella sua carriera sono state scritte tantissime pagine stupende.
Essendo impossibile ricordarle tutte, è preferibile guardare anche alle cifre che il Fenomeno ha consegnato alla storia del calcio mondiale:
- 15 i gol segnati ai mondiali, miglior marcatore nella Storia dell'intera manifestazione;
- 300 gol segnati nei campionati di Brasile, Olanda, Spagna ed Italia;
- 97 presenze nella nazionale brasiliana, decorate da 62 gol;
- 3 Fifa World Player;
- 2 Palloni d'Oro;
- 4 Coppe Nazionali vinte;
- 3 Trofei internazionali vinti.
In contemporary football, many are undecided on what has been the strongest player of all time. Before the new generations, the debate seems far Maradona-Pele, what is objective, beyond the reviews, is that Ronaldo has been able to be that thin line of demarcation between the after Pele and pre Messi.
In yesterday's press conference we saw tears, sighs, and broken voice, interspersed with hands over her eyes to hide the pain, " too much pain, do not take it anymore. [...] Four years ago, when I was in Milan, I found that I suffer from hyperthyroidism, which causes a slowing of metabolism. Hormones that are used to treat him do not marry with the world of football, being considered as doping. Many of you (reporters ed) have joked about my weight, but I have no hard feelings. "
placed next to the malice, the grown children and the glory for a sample that has generated great excitement to lovers of football. He leaves the footballing career of the first phenomenon of the new millennium.
He leaves his two-pass, they leave angled shots with pinpoint accuracy.
He leaves the joy Brazilian who has defended the colors many links, it is leaving many fans immense saudade.
Had it not been betrayed by patellar tendons and muscles of diamond, could ignite stages for a few years. Beloved in Brazil, courted by all the biggest teams in the world in its golden age. Sleeping for ninety minutes, he could pull off winning paw continue to decide the fate of a game.
" Today I seem to die. ," was the comment on the sidelines of a press conference that marked the end of his first life as a footballer.
To many it seems that a part of real football is gone, including changes running for this player indelible history. In between, many players who move heavy steps behind him.
" Football is the last sacred representation of our time " Pasolini said, not too long ago. Among
sacred representations, it happens that representatives are no longer sacred to share their wonderful play.
However, The Show must go on.
Thanks again for the spectacle, Ronaldo.
