The greatest ever... that could'nt last...

 If football is played the way it's played nowadays, it's thanks to the great players from the past. In the recent past, no players influenced the game more than Brazilian Ronaldos : first, Ronaldo Luis Nazário de Lima alias Ronaldo and then, Ronaldo de Assis Moreira also known as Ronaldinho.

Ronaldo revolutionized the way striker plays, being the idol and model of today's famous strikers : Zlatan, Benzema, etc.
The other Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, brought technique to another level : Creative, decisive, powerful, fast, quick and absolutely unpredictable, he ruled the football world in a flashy way.

The 2 Ronaldos have something else in common, they could not last... They were they greatest player ever for short period of time : Ronaldo during his Barca & Inter era and Ronaldinho always was a great player but he was the greatest during his spell at Barcelona (2003-2008) where his exploits of the week-ends were the topics of the mondays...

Too bad injuries and an unhealthy lifestyle (girls, junk-food, girls, parties and girls) changed their fit body to look like couch potatoes, killing their explosiveness, speed and thus part of what they could do.

Here is an exciting sample of Ronaldinho's art : humiliating the world greatest players.
