Ronaldinho - Brazilian Legend - 23 goals in one match!

Ronaldinho was born in the city of Porto Alegre, the state capital of Rio Grande do Sul. His mother, Dona Miguelina Elói Assis dos Santos (daughter of Enviro Assis), is a former salesperson who studied to become a nurse. His father, João de Assis Moreira, was a shipyard worker and footballer for local club Esporte Clube Cruzeiro (not to be confused with Cruzeiro). He suffered a fatal heart attack in the family swimming pool when Ronaldinho was eight. After Ronaldinho's older brother, Roberto, signed with Grêmio, the family moved to a home in the more affluent Guarujá section of Porto Alegre, which was a gift from Grêmio to convince Roberto to stay at the club. Roberto's career was ultimately cut short by injury.

Ronaldinho's football skills began to blossom at the of age 8, and he was first given the nickname Ronaldinho because he was often the youngest and the smallest player in youth club matches. He developed an interest in futsal and beach football, which later expanded to organized football. His first brush with the media came at the age of thirteen, when he scored all 23 goals in a 23--0 victory against a local team. Ronaldinho was identified as a rising star at the 1997 U-17 World Championship in Egypt, in which he scored two goals on penalty kicks.

Today, Roberto acts as Ronaldinho's manager, while his sister Deisi works as his press coordinator. Ronaldinho became a father for the first time on 25 February 2005, after Brazilian dancer Janaína Mendes gave birth to their son, who was named João after Ronaldinho's late father.

Ronaldinho's 2005 Nike advertisement, where he is given a new pair of boots and then proceeds to juggle a football and repeatedly volley it against the crossbar of a goal and recover it without the ball touching the ground, went viral on YouTube, becoming the site's first video to reach one million views.

Ronaldinho Getting His Teeth Fixed

Ronaldinho's football has usually done the talking during his illustrious career, but the Brazilian has had so many moments of magic on the pitch that we've come to know his trademark grin.

The Daily Mail brands that smile "goofy," but now he has finally had dental work to correct it.

The operation last month, the paper adds, cost an estimated £36,000.

As you can see in the video above, it's quite a transformation (the old Ronaldinho is on the right).

The 33-year-old has not been shy in courting publicity over the surgery—not only did he feature in this Brazilian news story about the work, which you can watch above, but he has also given an interview to Brazilian Playboy (in Portuguese) with the teeth very much on show.

You'll be pleased to hear that the new-look Ronaldinho has not been making wholesale changes to his lifestyle.

For one thing, the ponytail hasn't gone anywhere.

And for another, he's still curling in outrageous free-kicks such as these.

Top 10 goals of Neymar

Neymar's career!

Every so often a young Brazilian forward of such dazzling potential emerges that comparisons are immediately made with the greatest of all, Pele. As another graduate of the Santos academy, and a player who has made a stunning impact inhis teens, it is inevitable that Neymar has become one of them. However, he says his style is closer to that of Garrincha, and that Romario is his hero in the Seleção shirt. The early indications are that this hugely talented forward might, might, just have the potential to join the ranks of Brazil greats.

Though still in his formative years, Neymar has already been the subject of multi-million pound bids from giant European clubs, dazzled in Brazilian domestic football and at youth level for his country, and now he is beginning to do the same for the senior side. Overlooked for the 2010 World Cup by Dunga, despite pleas from Pele himself, Neymar is at the forefront of the new Seleção under Mano Menezes and, having already scored on his debut against United States in August 2010, caught Europe's attention when scoring twice against Scotland at Emirates Stadium when winning only his third cap in March 2011.

Neymar had already become a player of some repute in his home country though. A Santos player since 2003, he made his debut aged 17 and quickly shot to fame when winning the Campeonato Paulista in 2010 and being named the best player in the competition. Maintaining an impressive strike-rate, he shone alongside his stylistic soul-mate Robinho upon his loan return to the club from Manchester City, and was the subject of a £23 million offer from Chelsea in August 2010, which he rejected to continue his career in Brazil.

Though he also signed a new contract at the time, with his buyout clause set at (€45 million) £37 million, Neymar's continued excellence in the Santos shirt, despite some high-profile disciplinary problems, and his impact with Brazil at junior and senior level have led to persistent suggestions that he will move to one of Europe's biggest clubs.

He signed another new contract at Santos at the end of 2011, keeping him at the club until after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil but few people expect him to stay that long.

Strengths: A genius with the ball at his feet, Neymar's pace, dribbling , expert finishing and impeccable technique make him a fearsome opponent. His impressive awareness and match intelligence also mean he can operate wide or through the middle.

Weaknesses: His temperament is open to question following a number of disciplinary problems and he has been accused of being selfish, as well as indulging in some of football's dark arts.

Career high: His two-goal showing against Scotland in March 2011 which took his international tally to three in three games and announced his talent to a wider audience.

Career low: In September 2010, Neymar displayed his petulant side when first sparking a ruckus in a match against Ceara, and then arguing with coach Dorival Junior when overlooked to take a penalty against Guarani. Dorival suspended the player, and was sacked as a result.

Style: Electric, inventive, irrepressible, a dangerous forward.

Quotes: "It is good to be compared with the best player [Pele]. But my dad told me about Garrincha's style as he moved forward, went up, attacked and dribbled. Garrincha's style is more similar to Neymar's." Neymar, January 2011.

Trivia: Over 14,000 Brazil fans signed a petition demanding that Neymar be called up by Dunga for the 2010 World Cup finals.

Messi's Career !

Lionel Messi is the heir apparent to the throne left vacant by Diego Armando 

Maradona. The waters are divided between those who consider him to be far from being the best No. 10, and those who believe that Messi will be even better than Maradona.

Born in Rosario, he cut his teeth in the youth ranks of Newell's Old Boys, until a hormonal problem that affected his growth changed the plans of his family and, of course, his personal future. Facing expensive treatment for their son, Messi's parents moved to Spain as Newell's were not able to afford the medical costs related to his condition, and even the wealthiest Argentine teams, such as River Plate, refused to foot the bill.

After his first trial with Barcelona, the Catalan coaches had no doubts. They decided to sign Messi and pay for his medical treatment. His growth was noticeable within Barca, and in little time he came to be considered one of the great talents at the club. He made his debut in the first division in October 2004, against Espanyol, and Barcelona have since adopted him as one of their greatest idols.

His first championship would come in the Liga season of 2004-05. Since then, and playing a more prominent role every season, he has won every major club trophy atCamp Nou - including a stunning haul of six in 2008-09 - and claimed the World Player of the Year award four times in four years, leaving many in little doubt as to the fact that Messi is the best player of his generation; possibly of all-time.

That idea was given further weight in March 2012 when, at the age of 24, he became the all-time top scorer at Barcelona - beating the 232 goals of Cesar Rodriguez - and then broke Gerd Muller's record for goals in a calender year when he scored 91.

Strengths: His ball skills are second to none, his runs from midfield are usually lethal and he is almost impossible to tackle when he gets his head down. His balance when running at speed is incredible.

Weaknesses: Too often he searches for a way to finish moves by himself without looking for team-mates in a better position to shoot at goal.

Career high: Winning the 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 World Player of the Year awards - the latter coming after he broke the record for goals in a calender year.

Career low: He was unable to perform to his best in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where Argentina were eliminated in the quarter-finals with Messi looking on from the bench.

Style: Quick, incisive, balanced, a stylish runner with the ball.

Quotes: "Messi is my Maradona," said Maradona himself, as the head coach of the Argentine national team.

Trivia: His debut with the national team (against Hungary) was a disaster: he entered the game in the 18th minute of the second half, and 47 seconds later was sent off.

Ronaldinho could be ready for a remarkable return

Every day is the anniversary of something. And every month, it seems, brings its own milestone for aBrazilian club.

Some of these are clearly newsworthy, others less so. No one begrudged Santos or Corinthians going to town to celebrate their centenaries in recent years, for instance, but it can feel like birthdays are trotted out just for the sake of it. Flamengo win in the week they turn 116 years old! Ponte Preta wear a special shirt to mark the 109th anniversary of the first time they wore white socks!

This weekend it was Gremio’s turn. The Porto Alegre club turned 110 – a landmark apparently worthy not just of a series of retrospective articles in the Brazilian press but also its own book. (Publishers presumably love this fascination with dates. They can do this every 10 years with every one of Brazil’s 12 big clubs.)

The calendar had been kind to the Tricolor: a home fixture against Atletico Mineiro provided the opportunity to celebrate in style at the shiny new Arena do Gremio. The club shop whipped up special merchandise; a flag-hoisting ceremony took place before kick-off.

But the real intrigue of the occasion stemmed not from these fripperies but from the return of one man to his old stomping ground.

Ronaldinho Gaucho was once a deity in these parts. It was with the club that he first made his name, that trademark smile (recently reworked by cosmetic surgeons, incidentally) embedding itself in Tricolor hearts during his sparky teenage years.

His acrimonious departure for Paris Saint-Germain – masterminded by Assis, his brother/agent/puppet master (delete as appropriate) – undid much of the good work but Gremio fans were just about coming back onside by the time Ronaldinho’s career in Europe drew to a close. If he’s coming back to Brazil, ran the logic at the time, he’s coming back to us.

But he didn't. He chose Flamengo. Ostensibly for the money but actually for the beaches and nightlife of Rio de Janeiro.

The Gremio faithful fumed. His first game back at the now-defunct Olimpico in 2011 provoked a staggering display of enmity. “Don't throw coins at Ronaldinho: he'll only start collecting them,” read one sign. Some pioneering fans even went to the effort of printing fake 100-Real notes with a familiar buck-toothed face on them. He returned a year later with Atletico Mineiro and was again targeted

This year, though, the reception was a touch more forgiving. His every touch may have been booed but the whole thing had an air of pantomime about it. An anniversary is no time for real vitriol, after all.

But if there was a script, someone forgot to tell Atletico. With Victor (another former Gremio man) imperious in goal, the Galo spoilt the party, eking out a dogged 1-0 win thanks to Fernandinho’s second-half strike.

Ronaldinho played well but his real impact on the evening was still to come. He adopted a conciliatory tone in his post-match interview (“I’m pleased with the three points, especially against such a strong side”) and was later seen speaking at length with Gremio players (and former Brazil colleagues) Dida and Ze Roberto.

On Wednesday morning it emerged that, during those conversations, Ronaldinho had indicated a desire to return to Gremio. While he is certain to remain with Atletico until the end of the year (when they feature in the Club World Cup), there may be scope for a sensational switch before he hangs up his boots.

This possibility, not to put too fine a point on it, would have been almost unthinkable just a few days ago. But now? Maybe, just maybe. The ice caps are melting. It must be the birthday spirit.

Messi is the Best in the World, Says Neymar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR4dkE_sJ-0&hd=1




Brazil soccer star Neymar flew into Barcelona and signed a five-year contract amid great fanfare on Monday (June 3) before announcing his priority was to help his idol Lionel Messi remain the world's best player.

The 21-year-old player said that playing for the club was a dream come true.

"I am happy for everything that is happening. I took the decision with my heart. My heart was in Barcelona and I am here today. I am a Barcelona player," he told reporters at a news conference.

"It was hard not to cry. When I think about it... It is not only the adult Neymar, the man, who wanted it. It is the kid Neymar who had a dream. So my happiness is huge," he added.

Neymar, who is just under five years younger than Messi, will line up with the Argentine in a fearsome Barca attack next season after the club beat arch rivals Real Madrid in the race to lure him from Santos.

"The best player in the world is here. And that is Messi. And I always dreamed about playing here with him. I am very excited about that. I hope to be able to help him keep being the best in the world."

Neymar was accompanied by sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta and Barca vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu who revealed that Barca had paid 57 million euros ($74 million) to sign Neymar.

His contract included a buyout clause worth 190 million euros, he added.
