Have you seen one the most famous soccer player of today? Most probably you have seen him on T.V or personally. He has graced different commercials and achieved so many individual honors. He is none other than Ronaldinho. Ronaldo de Assis Moreira was born on the 21st of March during the year 1980 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. His name, Ronaldinho, is a term that means "little Ronaldo". He is more commonly known in his country as Ronaldinho Gaucho. He has played for his country Brazil in the World cup and for La Liga side FC Barcelona.
As he went and played in Europe he then dropped Gaucho and has been known ever since as Ronaldinho. Since then he has achieved so many accolades and achievements. He has become a two-time FIFA World Player of the year, a feat that only a few has ever accomplished. His dominance in Europe has also gained him a European Footballer of the Year award. Internationally, his greatness is evident as he also won FIFA Pro World Player of the Year award.
His greatness has earned him different commercials with Nike and he has become a sought after personality in the internet as well. But despite of being famous soccer player, many were disappointed of his performance in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He started out in all of Brazil's games but the expectations for him were not shown. He failed to score a goal and just had one assist all throughout. Nevertheless, as a new FIFA World Cup approaches in a couple of years, Ronaldinho is determined that he can showcase all of his skills and help his country regain their traditional glory.
