About Ronaldinho
Ronaldinho began his footballing career with Gremio de Porto Alegre, where his burgeoning talent soon brought him to the attention of the international football world.
1997 to 2001, Ronaldinho also started to claim a place in the Brazilian international side. He won the Copa America in 1999 scoring six goals, including a memorable effort against Venezuela.
In 2001, Ronaldinho decided to try his luck in European football and signed for French league outfit PSG though his debut was delayed due to a financial dispute between the two clubs.
Right from his very first match in a Barca shirt, the fans were seduced by Ronaldinho's spectacular brand of footballing magic.
Since then, Ronaldinho has become the leader of the mighty Brazil side, with which he won a Confederations Cup winners' medal in Germany 2005.
Background
Ronaldinho was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil and named Ronaldo de Assís Moreira. His father was a shipyard worker and his mother was a saleswoman, and then a nurse. Ronaldinho´s father died when he was only 9 years old.
Before Ronaldinho joined Gremio´s youth teams, in 1998 he arrived to the first team. Since the beginning he showed a great ball control and vertiginous dribbling with the ball
Fans pressured coach to include Dinho in the Gremio initial eleven. Good games helped him to reach the Brazilian National Team in 1999
Year 2000 found Ronaldinho as the big star of the team, and knowing that maybe it could be the last year in Brazil. European clubs were scouting for him and his move to Europe was almost inevitable.
In the middle of 2001 Paris Saint-Germain announced Ronaldinho was the club new star player. The French team had won the fight for him over Arsenal.
The relationship between the Brazilian player and the French club wasn´t at its best moment.
The following year, even after a great appearance in the FIFA World Cup in Japan and Korea in 2002, and because PSG failed to qualify to European competitions, he forced to transfer.
In 2003 Ronaldinho signed his contract with Barcelona.
During his first season, Ronaldinho suffered an serious injury and he was forced to miss out on many games.
The new dream team wanted revenge in 2005-2006. They wanted to win the Champions League. And they did. Ronaldinho was the key player and Barcelona got their second Champions League. Barcelona beat Arsenal in Paris 2 to 1.
This was the Ronaldinho´s year: he won the FIFA World Player of the year again, and also the FIFA Pro World Player of the Year, he was also named in the FIFA Pro team of the year, then he was named as both the European Footballer of the Year and the best striker in the 2004-05
Season 2006-2007 wasn´t a good one for Ronaldinho and Barcelona. Real Madrid won La Liga, and Barça, with Ronaldinho
