Yes. After Milan he went back to his home country to play for Cruzeiro. After a few disappointing games he had a little dispute with the coach and even with the club's president. The result was the immediate end of his contract.

What do you think of him, still as amazing in his Milan, Barcelona, Brazil times? I assume he's still with the Brazilian team whenever they play a match?

He used to be a good/great player. Now he's just out of shape and he gained a few pounds.
He's not a first team player of the Brazilian squad anymore. The reasons why are obvious.

Ronaldo, Ronaldinho ... much nicer to see playing.

Rivaldo ... 'vergane glorie' (?)

Ronaldinho: passionate, team player and great
Ronaldo: fat, injury prone and spoiled

Exactly.
And believe me, he knows it, just doesn't want to admit it. Then again he's always been the stubborn type

But he's topscorer in the Primera Division and the Brazilian striker. Although he isn't one of my favorites either.

And so?
Real blows better than the world's best hair dryer ... what's so spectacular about that?


Ronaldo = crossover dribble and finishing

Ronaldinho = crossover dribble, finishing, scoring freekicks, through passes, crossing, making runs, shooting from a distance, heading, ...


Ronaldinho is Brazil's best player together with Kakker ... I mean Schijter ... I mean Schijt ... I mean Kaka!

But of course Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo get more attention ... why? Because they're better? No, because they're players of Real Tabloid FC.

You could be a good one for the newspaper/tabloids.

I dont think its fair to call Ronaldo fat, Some of us cant all be thin.
