Ronaldo answers questions from the fans

Posted November 9, 2009

Ronaldo recently answered a few questions sent in by fans on the Corinthians Website.

How did you feel when you were called to Selecao for the first time and chosen to be the Best Player in the World for the first time?

I don’t think it is possible to compare the two but you feel really proud when you live your dreams. Playing in the Selecao was hell of a dream and becoming the Best Player in the World was a dream too.

Do you still dream of playing in the Selecao?

Of course, playing in the Selecao for your country is a great honor. It is the dream of every boy and when you finally get to play for your country the urge only increases more.

Can you see the Selecao in 2010?

It is too early to talk. I think it will depend on what I do for the Corinthians in the first semester. Dunga has several players to choose from and I need to play well if I want to be there.

Do you have a dream that you have yet to achieve?

Everybody has dreams to fufill in life. Professionally, I have gained a lot but I still have enough things to do in life, both professionally and personally.

How does it feel to have the warmth of the crowd when you’re on the field? Are the fans different in Europe?

It’s very different. The fans in Europe watch the game like they’re at a show. Here, the crowd participate throughout most the game by screaming and by pushing the team. It only takes a goal and the singing becomes even stronger.

What are the advantages and disadvantages playing in Brazil compared to Europe?

They are completely different realities. Brazil is much larger than the countries in Europe, it takes more time travelling here within, than between countries in Europe. Football in Brazil is not so organized and the lawns need improvement.

What is your best game that you have played?

There are several but if I were to choose one, maybe the end of the 2002 World Cup against Germany.

What is the hardest game you’ve played?

Hard to say, there’s several.

Best goal?

Certainly, the World Cup 2002.

Best defender you have faced?

Maldini, he was a fantastic player, who later was my partner in Milan.

Best player?

Zidane, he was a genius, an incredible friend and a great person. As a player he was very good. He was smart with a fantastic view of the game.

What is the difference with Brazilian players and other countries?

The technical quality. Brazilians learn to play mostly on the street and on bad lawns too. This makes them excellent dribblers.

Which club will you retire with?

I will finish my career with the Corinthians.

    Funny to hear:
    Ronaldo said the best he ever played with, was Zidane.
    Zidane said, the best player he ever saw is Ronaldo :-)
