WEBVTT

00:11.886 --> 00:12.929
Yeah.

00:18.643 --> 00:21.479
Yes! Such great memories.

00:22.480 --> 00:24.524
My mom used to keep these.

00:24.607 --> 00:27.694
My mom and my sister kept these.
They used to…

00:29.571 --> 00:31.197
Everything has a…

00:32.282 --> 00:33.867
a lot of history.

00:48.965 --> 00:50.383
This is…

00:52.552 --> 00:55.180
It's like the butt picture.

00:59.017 --> 01:00.643
Born fighter, never knew defeat

01:00.727 --> 01:03.438
Goal!

01:03.521 --> 01:06.733
Genetic code of a warrior
Spirit of Conan

01:06.816 --> 01:08.151
Raised to be fearless…

01:08.234 --> 01:09.194
Goal!

01:09.778 --> 01:12.238
When a player
starts winning from a young age,

01:12.322 --> 01:14.324
they start to enjoy being a champion.

01:14.407 --> 01:16.576
And they want to be a champion every year.

01:16.659 --> 01:19.037
Where we eliminate hate
From everybody’s mind

01:19.120 --> 01:21.039
This for the kids who are picked on

01:21.122 --> 01:24.417
He arrived with all his magic,
all his courage,

01:24.501 --> 01:26.795
and I witnessed it from the field

01:26.878 --> 01:28.213
with great sadness.

01:31.674 --> 01:34.552
He was probably more important to me
than I was to him.

01:34.636 --> 01:36.179
Code of a warrior
Spirit of Conan

01:36.763 --> 01:39.933
Ronaldinho is a superstar.
He shined bright.

01:40.016 --> 01:42.936
And at the same time,
I was starting my career,

01:43.019 --> 01:44.687
and I was able to shine with him.

01:44.771 --> 01:46.898
Ronaldinho! Goal!

01:48.566 --> 01:52.737
I got used to being a champion
from a young age, so I became spoiled.

01:54.864 --> 01:57.075
A NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY SERIES

01:57.158 --> 02:00.870
I wanted to play for Grêmio
and for the Brazilian national team.

02:00.954 --> 02:02.372
That was my childhood dream.

02:02.956 --> 02:05.208
Our dream is to make
the Brazilian national team,

02:05.291 --> 02:06.960
to become a professional player.

02:07.710 --> 02:10.421
The first ball the boy gets,
and he does that!

02:11.089 --> 02:12.298
Everybody wanted him.

02:12.382 --> 02:14.759
-Ronaldinho!
-Almost impossible to stop.

02:14.843 --> 02:18.054
He radiated the optimism that we had lost.

02:18.805 --> 02:19.681
He had fun.

02:19.764 --> 02:22.142
Your playfulness will help us
win a World Cup.

02:22.225 --> 02:23.810
It was his moment.

02:24.477 --> 02:26.437
Something I really regret

02:26.521 --> 02:28.982
is not being there
the day my son was born.

02:29.065 --> 02:30.191
I was playing.

02:32.569 --> 02:36.114
My name is João Mendes de Assis Moreira,
I'm Ronaldinho's son.

02:37.073 --> 02:39.534
He's good,
he's always partying, making music.

02:39.617 --> 02:42.036
I don't know
if it was because of the news,

02:42.120 --> 02:44.080
I don't know if it was something personal.

02:44.164 --> 02:46.249
Stop partying and going clubbing!

02:47.208 --> 02:50.503
To see him go through that,
it really hurt.

02:50.587 --> 02:53.548
When a team doesn't do well,
some may take it out on him.

02:53.631 --> 02:55.967
When you make it to the top and succeed,

02:56.050 --> 03:00.930
well, people become
obsessed with tearing you down.

03:01.431 --> 03:03.558
A player needs peace of mind to play well.

03:03.641 --> 03:07.312
My brother always took care
of the business side of things.

03:09.147 --> 03:10.773
You really want me
to talk about this shit?

03:10.857 --> 03:13.818
Ronaldinho and his brother Assis

03:13.902 --> 03:15.778
spent the night in separate cells.

03:15.862 --> 03:18.156
I take full responsibility.

03:18.239 --> 03:20.033
It was the worst moment.

03:23.620 --> 03:27.498
This is the south of Brazil.
We are from the south, we are gaúchos.

03:27.582 --> 03:30.543
I have no neighbors here, I have no…

03:30.627 --> 03:32.754
I can make as much noise as I want.

03:32.837 --> 03:36.132
My life is crazy.

03:37.926 --> 03:41.387
It was all so crazy.
It was a whirlwind of emotions.

03:42.430 --> 03:44.265
It was like everyone knew.

03:44.349 --> 03:47.769
"The guy who will
help us win has arrived."

03:50.480 --> 03:52.899
He will always be remembered
as one of the greatest

03:52.982 --> 03:54.859
in the history of world soccer.

03:54.943 --> 03:57.820
Everyone said I was done,
that we're a team of misfits.

03:57.904 --> 03:59.197
What do you say now?

03:59.280 --> 04:04.035
It was a team of outcasts,
because a team of angels doesn't win.

04:04.118 --> 04:05.745
Samba!

04:05.828 --> 04:10.833
I never imagined it would all be
so perfect and so big as it is today.

04:20.134 --> 04:23.304
Grêmio receives offers,
mainly from Spain and England.

04:25.139 --> 04:28.810
The world expects of him
what only geniuses can offer.

04:28.893 --> 04:31.980
Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho!

04:32.063 --> 04:33.398
Goal!

04:33.481 --> 04:36.150
The mess is over, the party is over.

04:36.234 --> 04:38.069
The fight is just beginning.

04:38.152 --> 04:40.154
It's over!

04:40.238 --> 04:42.031
Brazil to the finals!

04:43.116 --> 04:47.662
Ronaldinho and his brother
are in custody of the Paraguayan police.

04:49.038 --> 04:51.040
RONALDINHO: THE ONE AND ONLY

04:53.209 --> 04:54.669
EPISODE 1
EVERYTHING WAS PART OF A PLAN

04:59.424 --> 05:01.217
Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho!

05:01.301 --> 05:03.344
Ronaldinho!

05:07.974 --> 05:11.394
My life is… crazy.

05:13.396 --> 05:16.065
They call me the king of random hangouts,

05:16.149 --> 05:20.653
because people from all over the world
always call me to hang out.

05:21.654 --> 05:25.533
I have nothing holding me back.
I'm not married. I'm not…

05:25.616 --> 05:27.118
I'm just living life!

05:30.330 --> 05:31.831
I'm not a fan of flying.

05:31.914 --> 05:33.249
That's why…

05:33.750 --> 05:35.752
I want to stop traveling.

05:37.587 --> 05:41.132
I go because I have to,
but if I had a choice, I'd stay home.

05:41.716 --> 05:43.342
I like Porto Alegre.

05:43.426 --> 05:46.679
Porto Alegre… makes me happy.

05:52.435 --> 05:55.063
On the 12th, there's an event…

05:55.146 --> 05:57.774
On the 14th, there's an event…

06:00.735 --> 06:01.944
…Romania.

06:06.282 --> 06:07.950
-You leaving?
-Yeah.

06:08.034 --> 06:09.077
That's it?

06:09.660 --> 06:11.496
You've had enough

06:11.579 --> 06:15.500
Of these bad vibes
I'm heading to Porto Alegre, bye

06:16.751 --> 06:19.879
-Take care, okay?
-Okay, now I'm gonna dance.

06:21.130 --> 06:23.049
Ronaldinho, take one.

06:24.342 --> 06:25.551
This is who I am.

06:25.635 --> 06:30.181
I'm happy, accomplished.

06:31.015 --> 06:34.268
I… love being with my family.

06:35.228 --> 06:38.773
I think I'm shy when there's a camera.

06:38.856 --> 06:40.650
When we're shooting, I get shy.

06:40.733 --> 06:45.071
Whenever there was a ball,
I didn't care if people were watching.

06:45.154 --> 06:47.281
When I had a ball,
I forgot about the world.

06:52.453 --> 06:55.248
What is his motivation?
His love for the ball.

06:58.876 --> 07:01.712
He enjoyed being there.
You could tell by his smile.

07:01.796 --> 07:05.800
He was doing something
that took enormous effort, with joy!

07:07.009 --> 07:08.678
I was very happy playing.

07:08.761 --> 07:12.223
And people say
they were very happy to see me play.

07:12.306 --> 07:14.892
So, I just have to thank God for this.

07:16.561 --> 07:21.023
He'd turn on his tablet
and he'd watch NBA games and plays.

07:21.524 --> 07:23.568
And I'm like, "Do you like basketball?"

07:23.651 --> 07:26.904
And he says,
"No, I learn these NBA moves

07:26.988 --> 07:29.240
and then I apply them to soccer."

07:35.580 --> 07:38.749
He'd look left and then pass the ball
to the right. It was fantastic.

07:39.667 --> 07:41.502
I loved watching Magic Johnson.

07:41.586 --> 07:44.172
The no-look passes,
the Michael Jordan era.

07:47.925 --> 07:51.596
Defenders seemed scared
when they had to face Ronaldinho.

07:54.140 --> 07:55.641
He took amazing risks,

07:55.725 --> 07:58.769
and had spectacular talent,
strength, and speed.

08:01.189 --> 08:03.858
It came naturally to me.

08:03.941 --> 08:06.360
I was always an attacking midfielder,

08:06.444 --> 08:09.447
creating scoring opportunities
for my team.

08:11.824 --> 08:15.161
When he pushed ahead
and you stood in his way,

08:15.244 --> 08:16.662
he'd roll right over you.

08:17.496 --> 08:19.415
I trained hard

08:19.498 --> 08:21.709
and had a lot of confidence
during matches.

08:22.543 --> 08:26.088
Ronaldinho was different,
he enchanted the world.

08:29.091 --> 08:32.011
He embodies the spirit of our soccer.

08:32.678 --> 08:34.639
It's a one-on-one dance.

08:42.521 --> 08:47.818
I was born in Porto Alegre,
into a humble but very close-knit family.

08:49.987 --> 08:51.781
In all my childhood memories,

08:51.864 --> 08:54.158
I'm always playing soccer,
always with a ball.

09:05.670 --> 09:07.964
Whenever he was home,
he was playing with a ball.

09:08.047 --> 09:10.883
There was always
a ball in the living room.

09:10.967 --> 09:14.720
He would break things
because he was never without it. Never.

09:15.304 --> 09:20.560
My mom would send me to the bar
to tell my dad that dinner was ready.

09:21.435 --> 09:23.646
It was a short walk, so I'd say to myself,

09:23.729 --> 09:26.816
"I'm gonna try to get to the bar
without dropping the ball."

09:26.899 --> 09:28.818
And I'd juggle it the whole way.

09:31.112 --> 09:33.114
When Ronaldinho was born,

09:33.197 --> 09:36.617
there were already balls everywhere
because of Roberto, who also played.

09:37.702 --> 09:40.788
Goddamn, if I didn't answer,
it's 'cause I can't talk.

09:40.871 --> 09:43.958
I'll call you later. All right. Damn!

09:44.458 --> 09:48.087
Shit, this is important.
Everyone's waiting.

09:51.716 --> 09:52.842
We were poor.

09:52.925 --> 09:58.139
It was a… humble childhood.
But a decent childhood.

09:58.222 --> 10:01.017
At a certain point, we shared a room.

10:01.100 --> 10:04.603
He was my idol. So for me, it was great.

10:04.687 --> 10:07.398
I was sharing a room with my idol.

10:09.734 --> 10:13.904
My brother already led
a soccer player's life,

10:13.988 --> 10:15.531
a soccer player's routine.

10:15.615 --> 10:17.158
He was training every day.

10:17.241 --> 10:19.994
I liked it,
and he saw that I liked it, and…

10:20.870 --> 10:24.582
Whenever he had the chance,
he would take me to practice, to games.

10:25.541 --> 10:28.419
I was playing professionally
when Ronaldinho was seven,

10:28.502 --> 10:30.171
and he would accompany me.

10:30.254 --> 10:31.881
I'd go on the field with him.

10:31.964 --> 10:34.884
So I've been
in that environment my whole life.

10:35.926 --> 10:38.054
I really loved it.

10:38.137 --> 10:40.473
It was every child's dream.

10:41.140 --> 10:46.145
I always say, Ronaldinho grew up
in the locker room of a soccer club.

10:46.228 --> 10:50.066
Because, thank God,
we had a technical ability

10:50.149 --> 10:52.401
that was far above average.

10:53.819 --> 10:56.822
Ronaldinho's ability
was always above average.

10:56.906 --> 10:59.367
The first present he ever got
was a soccer ball.

10:59.950 --> 11:01.327
I played futsal.

11:01.410 --> 11:03.954
I played on Grêmio's youth team.

11:04.038 --> 11:08.501
In the summer, I used to play
for New Kids, a beach soccer team.

11:09.085 --> 11:11.587
I learned a lot from all of them.

11:11.670 --> 11:13.589
He lived it intensely.

11:13.673 --> 11:18.678
He decided he wanted to be
a soccer player from a very young age.

11:19.387 --> 11:21.389
Since I was little, soccer's been my life.

11:23.724 --> 11:25.685
I played for PROCERGS.

11:26.185 --> 11:28.979
The father of a friend of mine
was the coach.

11:29.563 --> 11:31.690
So he started playing for Grêmio.

11:31.774 --> 11:33.693
He played with the school teams…

11:33.776 --> 11:34.985
He was in high demand.

11:35.069 --> 11:37.738
So you could tell
that something was different.

11:37.822 --> 11:39.907
And people talked about how good he was,

11:39.990 --> 11:41.575
how much he stood out.

11:43.327 --> 11:46.789
I was really impressed
by how the parents would fight,

11:46.872 --> 11:50.292
how they would shout at their kids,
"Go, give it your all."

11:50.376 --> 11:52.670
They were really enthusiastic.

11:52.753 --> 11:55.423
And one of the reasons
for all that yelling

11:55.506 --> 11:59.176
was that Ronaldinho
was outshining everyone on the team.

12:10.563 --> 12:13.691
There were games that ended 6-1, 6-2, and…

12:13.774 --> 12:16.485
Ronaldinho would score five or six goals.

12:16.569 --> 12:19.780
So Ronaldinho's team had one fewer player.

12:21.282 --> 12:25.411
I heard that before
but I don't know if it's true.

12:26.620 --> 12:31.709
1990 youth soccer player,
Ronaldinho de Assis.

12:36.547 --> 12:38.799
My dad was very competitive.

12:38.883 --> 12:42.970
So he and my brother didn't like it
when I came home crying,

12:43.053 --> 12:45.598
saying I had lost a game.

12:46.182 --> 12:48.893
My dad was very loving with his kids.

12:49.727 --> 12:52.354
My dad used to work as a valet at Grêmio.

12:52.938 --> 12:55.107
My brother used to help him out.

12:55.941 --> 12:59.195
When I started
playing professional soccer,

12:59.278 --> 13:01.655
my dad's friends would say,

13:01.739 --> 13:06.368
"If you play, uh, half as well
as your dad, you'll be a star."

13:06.452 --> 13:10.080
So… I was already under
a lot of pressure.

13:10.164 --> 13:11.165
Goal!

13:11.248 --> 13:14.251
Assis was a great player
but he was undisciplined,

13:14.335 --> 13:16.587
otherwise, he would have been even better.

13:16.670 --> 13:20.049
Ronaldinho would have been Messi,
and Assis would have been Ronaldinho.

13:24.929 --> 13:27.932
The player arrived
in his hometown at 10:00 p.m.

13:28.015 --> 13:31.602
As always, it was a party!
The living room was packed.

13:31.685 --> 13:33.270
Everyone wanted to hug Assis.

13:34.230 --> 13:36.815
I was already part of
the Brazilian national team.

13:36.899 --> 13:40.152
I had already played in
the South American Championship.

13:40.236 --> 13:42.613
It was just a sequence of successes.

13:43.697 --> 13:47.535
Get this…
One of the requirements of his contract…

13:48.285 --> 13:49.370
was a house.

13:50.079 --> 13:51.330
With a pool!

13:53.415 --> 13:56.544
I'm very happy
because where I live now is very different

13:56.627 --> 13:58.963
from where I'm going to live next.

13:59.046 --> 14:03.217
So that marked a stage
of economic and social change for us.

14:03.300 --> 14:06.095
Because we left the neighborhood
where we had grown up

14:06.178 --> 14:09.139
and went somewhere else
to start a new life.

14:09.223 --> 14:11.559
So it was very special.

14:11.642 --> 14:14.687
I said, "Mr. João,
we're spending a fortune."

14:14.770 --> 14:17.064
"You're going to have to prove
we've made the right choice."

14:17.147 --> 14:22.027
He says, "Mr. President,
this guy isn't that good of a player."

14:22.111 --> 14:24.863
"The little one at home
is the real phenomenon."

14:24.947 --> 14:26.198
It was Ronaldinho.

14:27.741 --> 14:30.035
He was ready to sell his youngest.

14:32.329 --> 14:33.372
Yeah!

14:34.039 --> 14:39.378
He was either…
a great visionary or a great salesman!

14:52.850 --> 14:55.769
I was on the Brazilian national team, and…

14:55.853 --> 14:59.648
I think it was… January 25th.

14:59.732 --> 15:01.775
My birthday is January 10th…

15:02.693 --> 15:04.445
I had a week off.

15:06.363 --> 15:10.117
Roberto was playing for Grêmio.
He was almost 18 years old.

15:10.200 --> 15:15.122
Ronaldinho was little,
and I was almost 13.

15:15.789 --> 15:20.127
There was a party at our house that day
to celebrate Roberto's birthday.

15:20.210 --> 15:26.175
And then, in this house we got
when we signed the contract…

15:26.717 --> 15:29.303
my father had a heart attack.

15:34.642 --> 15:37.269
He had a heart attack
while he was in the pool.

15:37.353 --> 15:39.021
We didn't know he was there.

15:39.104 --> 15:43.233
When we found him,
he had been underwater for a long time.

15:43.317 --> 15:47.071
He was in a coma
for a few days until he passed away.

15:50.199 --> 15:52.785
He was only 42 years old.

15:53.827 --> 15:56.955
Very young. It was…

15:57.790 --> 16:00.751
It was a very difficult time.

16:03.045 --> 16:04.046
I was really young.

16:04.129 --> 16:06.632
I think I was 8 years old, or so.

16:06.715 --> 16:08.300
I was still a kid.

16:15.849 --> 16:20.104
So I have a few memories of my father,
but I was very young.

16:24.775 --> 16:28.445
My mother took care of everything.
She was both mother and father.

16:29.488 --> 16:32.866
At that time,
I had the financial power at home,

16:32.950 --> 16:37.538
and I think that marked
a big change in my life.

16:38.247 --> 16:41.000
Because while my father was alive,

16:41.500 --> 16:43.585
I was Assis only on the streets.

16:43.669 --> 16:46.130
But at home, dad was the boss.

16:49.049 --> 16:51.010
At home, I was Roberto.

16:51.593 --> 16:57.766
So, I lost some of that humility
that I was reminded of every day.

16:59.226 --> 17:04.189
My brother became
both brother and father to me.

17:04.857 --> 17:08.402
When my father passed away,
he became the man of the house

17:09.319 --> 17:12.448
and he started to act
like a father figure to me as well.

17:12.948 --> 17:14.658
And he still does.

17:18.996 --> 17:20.956
Every human being has a story.

17:21.040 --> 17:23.125
Just like Ronaldinho and his family.

17:23.208 --> 17:27.421
The tragedy of his father's death,
that leaves a mark.

17:27.504 --> 17:31.675
That's why I say that his mother
was a fundamental pillar for him.

17:31.759 --> 17:34.511
She became both a father and a mother.

17:34.595 --> 17:36.805
She fully supported him in every way.

17:36.889 --> 17:39.892
The club itself welcomed him
with open arms,

17:39.975 --> 17:42.811
gave him affection, passion, love.

17:42.895 --> 17:45.981
But his mother's support was paramount

17:46.065 --> 17:48.484
for him to keep dreaming

17:48.567 --> 17:51.403
of becoming a professional athlete

17:51.487 --> 17:56.408
and to nurture all the affection
and passion he felt for the game.

18:04.500 --> 18:07.711
I never thought about
the meaning of death.

18:09.838 --> 18:11.840
I think everyone fears death.

18:13.717 --> 18:16.595
I want to live a long time.

18:18.514 --> 18:21.391
I've always been passionate about living.

18:22.768 --> 18:26.730
Being at home brings me peace.
Being with my friends.

18:37.783 --> 18:39.743
There's always an excuse.

18:39.827 --> 18:40.869
I love excuses.

18:40.953 --> 18:43.372
"Oh, I'm tired. I don't know what to do."

18:43.455 --> 18:46.375
Friendship is everything.

18:46.959 --> 18:50.796
Friends… not just for the good times,

18:50.879 --> 18:53.715
but for the bad ones too.

18:54.299 --> 18:55.843
There's no point in having everything

18:55.926 --> 18:58.470
if you don't have friends
to share it with.

19:05.477 --> 19:09.189
You may not see him
for a week, a month, a year,

19:09.273 --> 19:11.567
but the moment you see him again,

19:11.650 --> 19:13.610
it feels like no time has passed.

19:14.194 --> 19:16.822
He's such a genuine, warm guy,

19:16.905 --> 19:19.825
who loves to enjoy life,
as he's always said.

19:20.367 --> 19:23.453
And it shows in everything that he does.

19:32.880 --> 19:34.339
When I was a kid,

19:34.423 --> 19:37.926
I wanted to play for Grêmio
and for the Brazilian national team.

19:38.010 --> 19:40.971
That was my childhood dream.

19:45.893 --> 19:49.146
He was a 16 or 17-year-old kid.

19:49.229 --> 19:50.564
But of course,

19:50.647 --> 19:52.983
he still needed to adapt

19:53.567 --> 19:55.903
to playing against adults,

19:55.986 --> 19:57.863
to grown-up soccer.

20:00.324 --> 20:02.242
This is how you doin'
When you doin' it right

20:02.326 --> 20:04.661
We go to bars
And we ruin the night

20:04.745 --> 20:08.665
I was lucky to win the U-17 World Cup
with the national team.

20:09.416 --> 20:12.461
And Brazil
are the champions here in Egypt.

20:14.755 --> 20:19.051
And that title really helped me
become a professional at Grêmio.

20:19.134 --> 20:21.887
After that, everything happened very fast.

20:21.970 --> 20:23.555
Thank God!

20:32.022 --> 20:34.274
Was Ronaldinho a midfielder?

20:34.358 --> 20:37.444
Was Ronaldinho a second striker?

20:42.950 --> 20:44.743
I said, "This kid is gonna become

20:44.826 --> 20:46.828
one of the greatest players in the world."

20:47.162 --> 20:50.415
AT ONLY 17 YEARS OLD,
RONALDINHO SHINES IN BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL

20:50.499 --> 20:55.879
But what really stood out, for example,
was the decisive goal at Grenal.

20:57.839 --> 21:01.677
A lot of doors opened for me,
thanks to that game.

21:03.679 --> 21:09.476
And also because it was against
our World Cup champion captain.

21:10.852 --> 21:14.314
I was just starting out,
he was very experienced.

21:14.815 --> 21:17.651
I was already planning
to dribble past him.

21:17.734 --> 21:21.947
I said, "If I face him, I'll go for it."

21:22.030 --> 21:26.326
And it ended up happening,
and it went well.

21:30.789 --> 21:34.418
He completely humiliated Dunga.

21:34.501 --> 21:36.128
Our jaws were on the floor.

21:39.423 --> 21:41.758
Look at Agnaldo, what a good play.

21:41.842 --> 21:45.846
Now Ronaldinho, look at that pass!
What an amazing shot!

21:45.929 --> 21:48.473
The captain to Ronaldinho,
he shoots, and it's in!

21:48.557 --> 21:51.685
Goal!

21:52.394 --> 21:54.938
He nutmegs Dunga and scores.

21:55.022 --> 21:58.984
Dunga goes crazy,
he's furious with Ronaldinho.

22:03.989 --> 22:06.950
RONALDINHO HUMILIATED DUNGA
AND GAVE GRÊMIO THE TITLE.

22:08.118 --> 22:11.788
But I have the utmost respect for him.
The utmost respect.

22:13.123 --> 22:17.085
Whenever I get the chance to see him,
it's always a pleasure.

22:18.295 --> 22:20.756
I also had him as a coach later on.

22:22.382 --> 22:25.886
Many people say
that Dunga didn't call Ronaldinho

22:25.969 --> 22:28.096
because he was mad about that dribble.

22:28.180 --> 22:30.182
And he was furious indeed.

22:30.265 --> 22:34.227
He was so angry that
Ronaldinho was the star of that game.

22:34.311 --> 22:37.147
I think that day
was very important for Brazil.

22:37.230 --> 22:41.401
Because they realized that
Ronaldinho was going to be Ronaldinho.

22:41.985 --> 22:43.737
Then we sign digitally.

22:44.905 --> 22:46.490
Let me just fix this.

22:47.074 --> 22:49.826
This chair… pushes my belly forward.

22:50.410 --> 22:51.828
1999.

22:51.912 --> 22:53.872
The Copa America.

22:57.209 --> 23:02.214
I was already happy
to be part of that group of players,

23:02.297 --> 23:04.633
most of whom were my idols.

23:06.134 --> 23:08.804
But once I was there,
I wanted to play too.

23:10.180 --> 23:14.601
He came in at around
the 27th minute of the second half.

23:15.936 --> 23:18.230
We all dream
of making the Brazilian national team,

23:18.313 --> 23:19.940
of becoming a professional player.

23:20.023 --> 23:24.569
But we can't imagine
getting there and being that bold.

23:28.740 --> 23:30.408
And then the opportunity came.

23:31.284 --> 23:33.286
It was all very fast.

23:34.037 --> 23:37.207
Ronaldinho is waiting
for the cross, completely unguarded.

23:37.707 --> 23:40.836
The first ball the boy gets,
and he does that!

23:43.088 --> 23:45.382
He controls the ball,
flicks it over to him,

23:45.465 --> 23:48.051
flicks it over to him again,
and takes the shot.

23:48.135 --> 23:51.513
I flicked the ball over to the other guy,
adjusted it, and scored.

23:52.597 --> 23:59.437
Goal!

24:00.230 --> 24:04.067
It just came out naturally.
"Look what he did, look what he did."

24:04.151 --> 24:05.777
"Look at what he did,
look at what he did."

24:05.861 --> 24:07.779
"Look what he did, look what he did."

24:07.863 --> 24:09.573
And that became his catchphrase.

24:09.656 --> 24:14.161
Ronaldinho Gaúcho is his name!

24:14.661 --> 24:17.998
That day he baptized me
as Ronaldinho Gaúcho.

24:18.874 --> 24:21.293
And the name has stuck
to this day, worldwide.

24:21.376 --> 24:24.129
He unleashed a rocket
right at the goalkeeper.

24:24.212 --> 24:27.716
A goal that defines
his place on that team.

24:29.426 --> 24:32.179
It was wonderful
to witness the birth of a star

24:32.262 --> 24:34.806
who was only 17 years old.

24:34.890 --> 24:40.270
Brazil ended up winning the Copa America,
a 3-0 victory over Uruguay.

24:40.353 --> 24:43.148
But it became Ronaldinho's Copa América
because of that moment.

24:43.231 --> 24:44.566
"Look at what he did!"

24:47.611 --> 24:53.158
That was when
our Ronaldinho Gaúcho began to show

24:53.658 --> 24:55.243
what he would become.

24:55.327 --> 24:58.830
And I say this without any doubt…

24:58.914 --> 25:03.084
the most skilled player I have ever known.

25:05.212 --> 25:07.255
It was all, you know…

25:07.756 --> 25:09.007
an avalanche.

25:09.090 --> 25:12.052
Because the Brazilian national team
changes your life.

25:12.135 --> 25:16.806
And Luxemburgo…
He was the guy who opened the door.

25:18.183 --> 25:22.103
He called him in, put him on the field,
and there was no turning back.

25:23.396 --> 25:25.398
MIAMI
UNITED STATES

25:30.278 --> 25:33.114
I love Miami. Miami is wonderful.

25:33.198 --> 25:34.366
It has everything.

25:34.449 --> 25:36.409
A lot of Latinos.

25:36.493 --> 25:39.120
Everyone treats me with so much warmth.

25:39.204 --> 25:40.705
I'm very happy here.

25:40.789 --> 25:43.625
As I said, I've been lucky my whole life,

25:43.708 --> 25:45.585
I've only ever worked with family.

25:45.669 --> 25:47.212
We've heard many stories about

25:48.463 --> 25:52.467
players and athletes who had problems
working with family members

25:52.551 --> 25:56.137
or with people outside their circle.

25:56.221 --> 25:58.181
But thankfully, I've been lucky.

25:58.265 --> 26:00.809
I've worked with my brother my whole life.

26:02.561 --> 26:04.771
My trainer was my cousin.

26:05.397 --> 26:07.732
My sister took care of the house.

26:08.358 --> 26:10.068
My manager was my brother,

26:10.151 --> 26:12.362
so I've always been surrounded
by people close to me.

26:15.991 --> 26:17.826
I would kill and die for my family.

26:18.326 --> 26:21.913
I always negotiated with one goal in mind.

26:21.997 --> 26:24.499
It has to be good… for him.

26:29.879 --> 26:31.756
He needs to feel protected.

26:31.840 --> 26:33.174
He needs to feel embraced.

26:33.758 --> 26:36.386
He needs someone to put pressure on him.

26:36.469 --> 26:39.514
And many times he did what I asked,

26:40.015 --> 26:42.017
even though he didn't want to,

26:42.100 --> 26:46.146
but he knew that what I was doing
was for his own good.

26:46.646 --> 26:50.066
It's because, man,
I'm with the number one.

26:50.150 --> 26:51.568
How could it be easy?

26:52.152 --> 26:52.986
Nothing is easy.

26:57.949 --> 27:00.493
I didn't stop playing
to take care of Ronaldinho.

27:00.577 --> 27:01.453
No.

27:01.953 --> 27:04.414
Things just happened.
I got injured very early.

27:04.497 --> 27:08.335
I was having a bad time.
It didn't make sense anymore.

27:08.418 --> 27:12.589
And Ronaldinho's career was skyrocketing
and becoming more demanding.

27:13.757 --> 27:16.593
I was always present.
My mother was there.

27:16.676 --> 27:19.012
My sister was there.

27:19.095 --> 27:21.014
We were always there.

27:26.978 --> 27:29.564
He was the one who…

27:30.065 --> 27:32.025
…always guided me.

27:32.984 --> 27:36.363
And his guidance worked…
better than anything else.

27:36.446 --> 27:39.407
So for me, my brother was the person
who helped me the most.

28:02.764 --> 28:05.350
While Ronaldinho is on the national team,

28:05.433 --> 28:08.436
Grêmio receives offers,
mainly from Spain and England.

28:08.520 --> 28:11.439
Numbers that reach
up to twenty million dollars.

28:11.523 --> 28:14.234
Astronomical numbers but understandable.

28:14.317 --> 28:17.028
After all,
we're talking about a young superstar.

28:20.949 --> 28:24.911
As I said, I never imagined myself
at another club or in another place.

28:24.994 --> 28:27.122
I always thought
I'd be playing for Grêmio.

28:29.582 --> 28:31.584
Grêmio is not selling Ronaldinho.

28:34.587 --> 28:38.258
In fact, I remember at the time,
at the Olímpico Stadium,

28:38.341 --> 28:41.261
there was a banner that said,
"We don't sell stars."

28:42.595 --> 28:46.474
We intend to keep Ronaldinho
with the approval of his representatives,

28:46.558 --> 28:49.310
which we expect
and are confident we will have,

28:49.394 --> 28:53.189
and that will allow us
to compete with any club in the world

28:53.273 --> 28:56.651
so that this player
does not leave Rio Grande do Sul,

28:56.735 --> 28:58.194
does not leave Grêmio,

28:58.278 --> 29:00.321
for the pride of all of us.

29:00.405 --> 29:02.949
PELÉ LAW PUTS
RONALDINHO'S TRANSFER ON HOLD

29:04.576 --> 29:08.580
I was the first one
to leave under the Pelé Law.

29:08.663 --> 29:09.873
I was the first case…

29:10.874 --> 29:14.669
and that caused a lot of chaos.

29:14.753 --> 29:16.754
The Pelé Law said the following,

29:16.838 --> 29:19.424
"If your contract is over,
you're a free man."

29:19.507 --> 29:21.342
"You can work wherever you want."

29:21.426 --> 29:24.637
This would only come
into effect in February 2001.

29:25.221 --> 29:30.393
And Ronaldinho's contract with Grêmio
ended a little later, in March 2001.

29:30.477 --> 29:33.313
And this led
to a divergence of interpretations,

29:33.396 --> 29:35.231
so FIFA had to intervene.

29:35.315 --> 29:36.524
COURT CLEARS RONALDINHO

29:36.608 --> 29:40.278
So Ronaldinho leaves Grêmio
by his own decision.

29:41.112 --> 29:43.114
And for his fans,

29:43.198 --> 29:46.117
it felt like… a betrayal.

29:47.785 --> 29:50.330
-Ronaldinho!
-Ronaldinho!

29:50.413 --> 29:52.290
We had a strategy from the beginning.

29:52.373 --> 29:56.294
The official sponsor
of the Brazilian Confederation was Nike.

29:56.377 --> 29:59.714
If I'm in a club sponsored by Adidas,
I won't be on the front page,

29:59.798 --> 30:01.382
I'll be left behind.

30:02.592 --> 30:06.429
So I made a list of all of Nike's clubs.

30:06.930 --> 30:11.935
Including Inter Milan… Manchester.

30:12.018 --> 30:13.812
There were several clubs.

30:13.895 --> 30:18.024
So it was clear to me,
if I want to have visibility,

30:18.525 --> 30:20.026
that's where I have to be.

30:21.069 --> 30:23.238
There were a lot of clubs back then.

30:23.321 --> 30:26.866
My brother and I
had already talked a lot about

30:26.950 --> 30:28.910
the right path to follow.

30:40.421 --> 30:44.300
I always believed that,
for an athlete to be successful in Europe,

30:44.384 --> 30:47.554
he needs to, uh, climb a ladder.

30:48.054 --> 30:50.306
For my career to evolve,

30:50.390 --> 30:52.976
I needed to start
at a good club in Europe,

30:53.685 --> 30:58.356
that still allowed me
the possibility of growing… even more.

30:58.940 --> 31:01.401
And then, Paris Saint-Germain.

31:05.947 --> 31:08.074
PARIS
FRANCE

31:08.157 --> 31:10.702
-Ronaldinho!
-Ronaldinho!

31:13.746 --> 31:14.956
It was…

31:16.499 --> 31:18.334
quick, but it felt natural.

31:18.418 --> 31:21.546
It was something
that was already in our plans,

31:21.629 --> 31:26.509
to stand out in Brazil so that,
one day, I could play in Europe.

31:26.593 --> 31:29.429
I think it's every Brazilian
and South American player's dream.

31:31.180 --> 31:32.599
No matter where you're from.

31:32.682 --> 31:37.770
Because Europe has always been
the biggest stage in world soccer.

31:37.854 --> 31:40.523
So, it was a dream.

31:41.107 --> 31:44.027
And then things happened… naturally.

31:45.862 --> 31:48.781
It's a very special moment,
I'm so very happy.

31:48.865 --> 31:51.117
I'm really happy to be here.

31:51.951 --> 31:56.623
I'm looking forward to getting to know
everything about the city of Paris.

32:01.169 --> 32:04.047
I already knew what he would need.

32:05.590 --> 32:08.676
My whole family had already traveled
to Europe to visit my brother,

32:08.760 --> 32:14.599
so we already had some experience
of what it would be like.

32:16.893 --> 32:20.730
I remember when he told me,
I said, "I want to go."

32:20.813 --> 32:23.441
So, at home,
I would cook his favorite food,

32:23.524 --> 32:26.152
I would be there for him,
I'd cheer him up.

32:26.235 --> 32:29.072
And give him support,
because it's not easy.

32:30.615 --> 32:36.329
The beginning is never easy.
Everyone needs some time to adapt.

32:36.996 --> 32:41.209
And once they adapt,
Brazilians can live anywhere in the world.

32:46.172 --> 32:50.009
He was still very young.
He was discovering the world.

32:50.093 --> 32:53.513
It was very moving,
it was wonderful to see.

32:54.013 --> 32:57.600
I remember, one time, he asked me,

32:57.684 --> 33:00.269
"Can I afford a fridge with this salary?"

33:00.353 --> 33:01.813
A refrigerator.

33:02.730 --> 33:03.690
I swear!

33:07.777 --> 33:10.238
In training,
he had that ability to dribble,

33:10.321 --> 33:14.534
to drive forward, to attack,
to get in behind, to beat his man.

33:14.617 --> 33:19.205
And when you see that, your jaw drops,
and you know you've struck gold.

33:19.288 --> 33:21.332
This is the one we needed.

33:26.379 --> 33:28.589
With his smile, his youth,

33:29.298 --> 33:33.886
everyone said it was like…
…the sun coming up.

33:34.470 --> 33:37.557
Here comes Ronnie,
he's gonna kick, he goes under…

33:37.640 --> 33:40.476
Goal!

33:41.811 --> 33:45.523
The first year,
he was still very close to his loved ones.

33:45.606 --> 33:48.359
He came straight out
of his family's house in Porto Alegre,

33:48.443 --> 33:51.195
which is quite a provincial place,
to Paris.

33:52.071 --> 33:55.867
Ronaldinho's weakness
is he likes to go out a lot,

33:55.950 --> 33:57.827
he likes to party.

33:58.327 --> 33:59.662
He likes girls.

33:59.746 --> 34:01.372
He was still a…

34:03.207 --> 34:05.668
a very young man discovering the world.

34:05.752 --> 34:07.003
He had so much to learn.

34:07.086 --> 34:12.216
And, at the end of that first year,
came the World Cup.

34:13.676 --> 34:14.886
2002
WORLD CUP

34:20.391 --> 34:24.312
Going into the World Cup,
we already had an established environment.

34:24.395 --> 34:28.524
There was friendship,
there was a feeling that was our family.

34:30.985 --> 34:33.613
When I was playing
in the youth category at Grêmio,

34:33.696 --> 34:37.241
he was already a professional coach,
and we really liked each other.

34:37.325 --> 34:39.994
I remember his extraordinary affection.

34:41.078 --> 34:44.123
Cafu, the best right-back of all time.

34:44.207 --> 34:47.627
Roberto Carlos,
the best left-back of all time.

34:47.710 --> 34:50.922
Ronaldo, the best striker of all time.

34:51.005 --> 34:52.173
Rivaldo…

34:52.256 --> 34:53.132
So many…

34:53.216 --> 34:57.637
Gilberto Silva, Kléberson,
Roque Júnior, Lúcio, everyone.

34:57.720 --> 35:01.474
There was every reason to believe
that we could be world champions.

35:05.311 --> 35:08.022
And Ronaldinho,
on the Brazilian national team,

35:08.106 --> 35:10.900
he was a good kid.

35:10.983 --> 35:14.695
He was calm,
he was not undisciplined at all.

35:16.489 --> 35:20.076
He had fun. "Your playfulness
will help us win a World Cup."

35:20.159 --> 35:21.744
Welcome to Shizuoka Stadium

35:21.828 --> 35:25.706
for the quarterfinals
of the 2002 World Cup.

35:26.415 --> 35:29.418
Eighty percent of the Japanese
were rooting for England and Beckham.

35:33.214 --> 35:37.718
I imagine their defenders
getting to the field and staring at us,

35:37.802 --> 35:42.348
our irreverent style,
the way we were facing such a big game,

35:42.431 --> 35:44.767
full of confidence and audacity.

35:48.688 --> 35:51.440
It was a very special game for me.

35:51.524 --> 35:55.153
Everyone said that game
was a preview of the World Cup final.

35:57.363 --> 35:58.614
BRAZIL VS ENGLAND

35:59.824 --> 36:03.035
Lúcio makes a mistake,
Michael Owen shoots!

36:03.119 --> 36:05.496
England is now winning 1-0.

36:05.580 --> 36:07.165
We trained the counterattacks,

36:07.248 --> 36:10.376
we trained the plays,
and we got hit with a silly goal.

36:11.919 --> 36:14.839
If we could get to half-time at 1-0,

36:14.922 --> 36:16.382
then we've got a chance.

36:16.465 --> 36:19.760
But sadly, you know,
I think Ronaldinho picks the ball up.

36:20.970 --> 36:22.180
I pass to Ronaldinho.

36:22.763 --> 36:25.975
And he goes past three, four players,

36:26.058 --> 36:29.353
dropping his shoulder,
body swerves, step-overs.

36:29.437 --> 36:31.147
It's an incredible dribble.

36:31.230 --> 36:35.026
I took the ball, dribbled past him,
and set up the goal.

36:35.109 --> 36:38.696
And he rolls the ball
to probably the last player

36:38.779 --> 36:41.365
that we needed it to fall to
on his left foot, Rivaldo.

36:41.949 --> 36:43.951
He passes to Rivaldo, left foot, he kicks!

36:44.035 --> 36:47.330
Goal!

36:47.413 --> 36:49.081
Then the reaction came.

36:52.543 --> 36:54.670
Ronaldinho getting ready for the kick.

36:55.796 --> 36:59.175
I'm there, narrating the game,
and I'm there waiting.

36:59.675 --> 37:02.220
I was sure he'd put it
in the penalty area.

37:02.887 --> 37:04.263
There goes the ball.

37:05.514 --> 37:07.934
And Seaman's trying to follow it.

37:11.145 --> 37:12.980
Goal.

37:13.064 --> 37:15.691
Ronaldinho shoots, goal!

37:15.775 --> 37:20.613
Goal!

37:21.197 --> 37:23.407
Was he trying
to chip it in over the goalkeeper?

37:24.033 --> 37:27.536
Or was it a failed cross
that ended up in the back of the net?

37:27.620 --> 37:30.456
That's the question everyone asks. Always.

37:32.291 --> 37:34.543
Cafu is a serious guy.

37:34.627 --> 37:36.629
He swears he told Ronaldinho.

37:37.213 --> 37:39.173
I told him
the goalkeeper was always ahead.

37:39.257 --> 37:41.717
But to put the ball where he did?
Only he could do it.

37:41.801 --> 37:44.887
What a goal by Ronaldinho Gaúcho!

37:45.471 --> 37:48.683
And then something happened
that shocked me.

37:49.225 --> 37:51.435
Rivaldo makes a pass to the middle.

37:51.519 --> 37:54.105
Ronaldinho tries to protect it
and keep possession.

37:54.188 --> 37:57.275
He tried to open his legs
for the ball to pass through.

37:57.358 --> 37:59.235
It was very fast.

37:59.318 --> 38:01.654
I went to get the ball,

38:01.737 --> 38:05.574
he got it first, and my foot hits his.

38:05.658 --> 38:08.661
That movement… he hit the English player.

38:08.744 --> 38:12.707
Oh! We lost a brilliant player.

38:12.790 --> 38:14.333
The red card was fair.

38:14.417 --> 38:16.335
Ronaldinho missed the ball
and hit the opponent.

38:17.253 --> 38:18.921
He was extremely shocked.

38:20.548 --> 38:22.049
I didn't mean to do it.

38:22.133 --> 38:26.512
I never meant to go for the foul,
let alone hurt the guy.

38:26.595 --> 38:28.764
A yellow card would have been fair.

38:29.348 --> 38:32.351
You know,
if that's today, a red card, no issue.

38:32.435 --> 38:34.770
Back then,
I would probably say yellow card.

38:34.854 --> 38:36.355
I didn't roll around, I didn't scream.

38:36.439 --> 38:40.359
I just let the referee make the decision,
and probably it was a little bit harsh.

38:44.613 --> 38:46.907
He sacrificed a lot,

38:46.991 --> 38:50.911
but marking was never
his strong suit as a player.

38:54.457 --> 38:58.002
Everyone saw that I was sad.
They said, "We'll get to the finals."

38:58.085 --> 39:01.088
"Now you have to be prepared,
focus on the finals."

39:01.172 --> 39:05.676
So I think the support of my teammates
was the most important thing.

39:06.677 --> 39:08.220
BRAZIL 2 VS ENGLAND 1
QUARTERFINALS

39:08.304 --> 39:11.474
To cheer, train,
and be prepared for the finals,

39:11.557 --> 39:14.226
that was the only thing I could do.

39:15.728 --> 39:17.396
He was the life of the party,

39:17.480 --> 39:20.858
the drumming, the locker room atmosphere,

39:20.941 --> 39:22.651
it was all led by Ronaldinho.

39:23.402 --> 39:26.405
And all the other players
were influenced by him.

39:26.489 --> 39:28.824
We needed him to be fired up.

39:30.076 --> 39:32.244
Brazil tries to reach another final.

39:33.371 --> 39:35.039
He rolls it to Ronaldo in the box.

39:35.122 --> 39:37.375
Go, Ronaldo, go! And he scores!

39:37.458 --> 39:40.920
Goal!

39:41.003 --> 39:42.963
It's over!

39:43.047 --> 39:45.299
-Brazil!
-Brazil is in the final!

39:47.384 --> 39:50.137
Our team didn't change
a single thing for the finals.

39:50.221 --> 39:52.640
We did everything we'd been doing
to get to the finals.

39:53.599 --> 39:55.059
Here, in Yokohama, Japan,

39:55.142 --> 39:57.603
Brazil is on its way
to its fifth championship.

39:58.270 --> 40:00.022
We need to be cold and calculating,

40:00.106 --> 40:02.775
but we need to play
with love, guys, with love.

40:03.818 --> 40:05.694
We were all there, the whole family.

40:06.195 --> 40:09.573
It was all so crazy.
It was a whirlwind of emotions.

40:09.657 --> 40:11.158
Here comes Ronaldinho.

40:11.242 --> 40:13.702
He fights for the ball,
he makes the move. What a player!

40:13.786 --> 40:16.288
It's exciting,
it's as if you're on the field.

40:16.372 --> 40:19.125
And we cheer for the people we love.
There's no way around it.

40:19.208 --> 40:21.460
Ronaldinho insists. To Rivaldo, he shoots!

40:21.544 --> 40:23.921
Oliver Kahn blocks it! Ronaldo shoots!

40:24.004 --> 40:26.632
Goal!

40:26.715 --> 40:30.136
That final.
It was meant to happen that way.

40:30.761 --> 40:32.680
Rivaldo passes, Ronaldo shoots!

40:32.763 --> 40:36.058
Goal!

40:40.187 --> 40:43.190
It's over! Five-time champions!

40:44.233 --> 40:48.612
The team had the kind of strength
you hardly ever see.

40:49.572 --> 40:51.490
It was a feeling of disbelief.

40:51.574 --> 40:55.453
We achieved something
we never even imagined.

40:57.288 --> 40:59.999
That's an accomplishment
that makes you proud to say,

41:00.082 --> 41:02.376
"I'm a world champion."

41:05.379 --> 41:08.382
I really miss that group.
It was wonderful.

41:08.466 --> 41:11.719
Besides our love for soccer,
we loved music.

41:11.802 --> 41:14.972
And I think that when we were happy,
we played a lot better.

41:15.973 --> 41:17.391
In Belo Horizonte,

41:17.475 --> 41:19.435
fans celebrated in bars
and on the streets.

41:19.518 --> 41:22.688
A Felipão impersonator
paraded on top of an elephant.

41:23.856 --> 41:26.609
Thank you, players! This is so exciting!

41:27.193 --> 41:29.278
In Rio, a summer-like day amid winter

41:29.361 --> 41:32.656
amplified the celebration
of an unprecedented title.

41:38.287 --> 41:42.208
More than a 100,000 people
waited for hours to welcome their heroes.

41:53.594 --> 41:56.096
The welcome couldn't have been warmer.

41:56.180 --> 41:58.432
Ronaldinho looked like a pop star.

41:58.516 --> 42:01.810
He went from being a young prodigy
to having the status of an absolute star.

42:01.894 --> 42:04.313
to having the status of an absolute star.

42:07.566 --> 42:11.654
I don't consider myself a star,
but I was welcomed as if I was one.

42:12.613 --> 42:14.490
When you're 18 or 19…

42:17.076 --> 42:18.244
it's tough.

42:18.827 --> 42:21.455
No one is ready for fame,
success, and power.

42:24.250 --> 42:25.960
Ronaldinho!

42:26.460 --> 42:29.797
I was a world champion
as a player for Paris Saint-Germain.

42:30.297 --> 42:32.091
So I received the key to the city.

42:33.217 --> 42:36.220
It was wonderful. Everyone was so kind.

42:37.012 --> 42:38.806
Last night, just before 8 p.m.,

42:38.889 --> 42:41.850
Parc des Princes
welcomed its Brazilian star.

42:42.393 --> 42:45.479
And that's when
the beautiful story turned into a farce.

42:45.563 --> 42:48.566
Cyril Granon frustrated
the fans' plans for the night,

42:48.649 --> 42:50.484
and Ajaccio took advantage.

42:50.567 --> 42:53.320
RONALDINHO DISAPPOINTS
IN HIS RETURN TO PARIS

42:54.363 --> 42:55.823
PSG ENDURES A HEAVY DEFEAT

42:55.948 --> 42:58.993
Big disappointment
for the 39,000 supporters,

42:59.076 --> 43:02.788
cheering for their star,
who has just come back from the World Cup.

43:20.389 --> 43:22.558
It was going from bad to worse.

43:22.641 --> 43:25.936
I was told by people
who worked in the Paris club scene,

43:26.020 --> 43:27.521
that he'd go out and party,

43:27.605 --> 43:31.483
and get back at 6:00 or 7:00
in the morning on the day of the match.5

43:31.567 --> 43:33.027
He'd go to sleep after sunrise.

43:34.236 --> 43:37.197
Soccer is like war.
Wednesday, Sunday, Tuesday.

43:37.281 --> 43:39.533
You win on Tuesday,
you're the best in the world.

43:39.616 --> 43:41.618
You lose on Saturday,
you're a piece of shit.

43:42.745 --> 43:45.914
We live with this feeling,
with this pressure.

43:45.998 --> 43:49.251
You have to get results.
If you don't…

43:50.002 --> 43:51.295
you're fucked.

43:51.378 --> 43:54.506
You need to be able to stop.
You need to learn how to recover.

44:13.025 --> 44:14.860
If you don't have a social circle

44:14.943 --> 44:17.363
and real friends
to tell you when you're wrong,

44:17.446 --> 44:19.490
to talk to you when you're not doing well,

44:19.573 --> 44:21.283
to get advice from…

44:21.367 --> 44:27.456
unfortunately, you'll end up facing
the consequences of poorly made decisions.

44:27.956 --> 44:29.958
His family was around much less

44:30.042 --> 44:32.461
and had less influence in his life.

44:32.544 --> 44:36.006
It was also around that time
when Ronaldinho became an adult.

44:36.590 --> 44:38.801
THE NIGHTLIFE IS AFFECTING HIS PERFORMANCE

44:38.926 --> 44:42.596
The second year he was alone,
but he didn't tell me.

44:42.680 --> 44:45.224
He could've crashed at my place
if he wanted to.

44:45.307 --> 44:50.813
Luis really wanted to control his players
and their professionalism,

44:51.563 --> 44:55.150
but that didn't suit
Ronaldinho's lifestyle at all.

44:56.151 --> 45:01.782
For example, there was an episode
where they were in a hotel…

45:03.992 --> 45:07.037
I checked them in to a hotel to recover,

45:07.121 --> 45:09.665
and a friend tells me
there were people coming in.

45:09.748 --> 45:13.210
Some women.
And we don't know where they're heading.

45:13.293 --> 45:17.506
He goes to check what was going on
and finds out they were after Ronaldinho.

45:20.342 --> 45:24.054
I told the president, and also someone
who took care of him back then.

45:24.680 --> 45:28.392
Fifty-five minutes
into the Nantes-PSG game,

45:28.475 --> 45:30.811
Ronaldinho is taken off the field.

45:30.894 --> 45:34.273
A decision that doesn't please
the Brazilian star.

45:34.356 --> 45:37.192
He couldn't prove me wrong.
Do you know why?

45:37.276 --> 45:39.153
Because his legs weren't working.

45:39.653 --> 45:42.573
Why don't I play?
That's the coach's prerogative.

45:42.656 --> 45:45.534
If I were the coach,
I'd put myself in the game.

45:45.617 --> 45:50.456
But since I'm not the coach,
when I don't play, I'm sad, I'm upset.

45:50.539 --> 45:51.957
I like to play soccer.

45:53.333 --> 45:54.918
-Ronnie.
-Ronnie.

45:55.002 --> 45:56.003
Ronnie!

45:56.712 --> 45:59.256
He didn't understand Ronaldinho.

45:59.339 --> 46:02.551
He didn't understand
a Brazilian athlete. He didn't.

46:02.634 --> 46:05.596
And Ronaldinho, on the field,
did amazing things.

46:10.684 --> 46:12.853
Even when he didn't walk the line,

46:12.936 --> 46:15.856
even when he lacked a certain discipline,

46:16.356 --> 46:18.025
he was an exceptional player.

46:18.108 --> 46:21.820
When he showed up on the field,
it was always impressive.

46:21.904 --> 46:24.156
Marseille vs. Paris Saint-Germain,

46:24.239 --> 46:26.658
the match is about to start.

46:26.742 --> 46:29.912
All PSG supporters
remember this game, obviously.

46:29.995 --> 46:33.749
Ronaldinho wanted to show
he was Ronaldinho.

46:33.832 --> 46:36.460
The game kicks off.

46:38.754 --> 46:40.714
The derbies were always memorable.

46:41.465 --> 46:44.176
It had been ten years since
Paris Saint-Germain had won

46:44.259 --> 46:45.511
at Olympique de Marseille.

46:47.554 --> 46:50.265
Ronaldinho's latched
onto that one, this is danger now.

46:50.349 --> 46:53.018
He's bearing down on goal,
it's still Ronaldinho.

46:53.101 --> 46:54.812
Ronaldinho keeps going!

46:55.979 --> 46:58.482
Here's Ronaldinho,
one on one with Rougnier.

46:58.565 --> 47:01.944
He's chipped him, he's chipped him,
what a beautiful little chip.

47:02.027 --> 47:04.488
It's 3-0 to Paris Saint Germain.

47:04.571 --> 47:06.406
What a fantastic goal by Ronaldinho.

47:06.490 --> 47:08.116
Picking up that ball there,

47:08.200 --> 47:09.952
that loose pass
in the middle of the field.

47:10.035 --> 47:13.247
Away he went, no one could catch him,
Rougnier couldn't stop him.

47:13.330 --> 47:15.457
Delightful little chip
over the goalkeeper.

47:15.541 --> 47:18.669
Paris Saint-Germain 3, Marseille 0.

47:22.506 --> 47:23.841
He had grace.

47:23.924 --> 47:28.804
When someone has that rare touch,
everything can be forgiven.

47:29.388 --> 47:32.432
Paris Saint-Germain fans
slipped quietly in the velodrome,

47:32.516 --> 47:35.519
but they leave with smiles on their faces.
3-0, the final score.

47:35.602 --> 47:39.106
First victory
for Paris Saint-Germain here in 15 years.

47:39.189 --> 47:41.900
They've never won here by a 3-0 margin.

47:41.984 --> 47:45.153
It's all down to Ronaldinho…
Thanks, Ronnie.

47:50.033 --> 47:53.954
There's a player we talk a lot about
in the league. It's Ronaldinho.

47:54.037 --> 47:57.416
Still under contract with PSG,
but for how long?

47:57.499 --> 48:01.336
We have his brother and agent,
Roberto Assis, on the line with us.

48:01.420 --> 48:03.130
Good evening, Roberto.

48:04.673 --> 48:05.924
Hello, good evening.

48:06.008 --> 48:10.345
In the second year of the contract,
I included an exit clause.

48:12.431 --> 48:14.683
I don't know the details.

48:14.766 --> 48:17.311
The one who's always taking care of…

48:18.020 --> 48:20.772
the business side of things,
is my brother.

48:22.149 --> 48:24.651
I hope to stay in Paris for a long time.

48:24.735 --> 48:27.112
The family's doing well.
Everything's really good.

48:27.195 --> 48:30.574
I'm very happy.
I hope to stay here for a long time.

48:31.867 --> 48:34.578
Inter Milan had called us.
Everyone wanted him.

48:34.661 --> 48:36.538
It was his moment.

48:37.873 --> 48:41.877
At the time,
several clubs were interested,

48:41.960 --> 48:45.714
because we had won the World Cup.

48:47.466 --> 48:49.092
CONFIRMED: RONALDINHO LEAVES PSG

48:49.176 --> 48:53.722
We were in very advanced negotiations
with Manchester United.

48:54.640 --> 48:57.267
Barcelona, Chelsea,
and Manchester keep pushing.

48:57.351 --> 49:00.520
Only one thing seems clear.
Ronaldinho will leave PSG.

49:01.104 --> 49:05.108
The soccer transfer window is underway,
and it's clearly Barça's turn.

49:05.192 --> 49:06.693
-Good evening.
-Good evening.

49:06.777 --> 49:10.197
Yes, Ronaldinho is the most wanted
and the desired player.

49:10.280 --> 49:12.491
BARCELONA ENTERS THE RACE FOR RONALDINHO

49:12.574 --> 49:15.744
Ronaldinho wants
to come and play for Barça.

49:15.827 --> 49:18.288
MANCHESTER OR BARCELONA?
ENGLAND OR SPAIN?

49:19.581 --> 49:23.543
Tell me how much.
Otherwise, it's a bad deal.

49:25.921 --> 49:27.964
Taking him is bad business.

49:30.884 --> 49:34.221
I didn't go knocking
on their door, they came to us.

49:34.304 --> 49:36.390
That was the situation.

49:36.973 --> 49:38.809
So that's when we broke it off.

49:38.892 --> 49:40.352
-Ronaldinho or Beckham?
-Ronaldinho.

49:40.435 --> 49:41.311
Ronaldinho, damn it.

49:41.395 --> 49:44.523
-Ronaldinho or Beckham?
-Ronaldinho, come on.

49:44.606 --> 49:46.525
The player's brother and agent stated

49:46.608 --> 49:49.778
he prefers Manchester United to Barcelona,

49:49.861 --> 49:53.907
since Ronaldinho wants to play
in the next Champions League.

49:55.242 --> 49:57.244
I was in Manchester already.

49:57.327 --> 50:00.247
He said, "Don't sign with Manchester,
come to Barcelona."

50:00.831 --> 50:01.790
It was clear to me.

50:01.873 --> 50:03.291
Check the goosebumps.

50:03.375 --> 50:04.960
It was very clear.

50:05.961 --> 50:08.338
Barcelona was a place for Brazilians.

50:08.422 --> 50:10.298
The city, the beach,

50:10.382 --> 50:12.050
everything we like was there.

50:14.511 --> 50:19.016
We were involved
in impossible negotiations.

50:19.599 --> 50:22.394
We made an offer, they're evaluating it,

50:22.477 --> 50:26.314
and that's as far as we'll get.
They'll either take it or leave it.

50:29.526 --> 50:33.697
Outside, inside, we don’t stop
Global, worldwide, we don’t stop

50:33.780 --> 50:35.198
From the bottom to the top…

50:35.282 --> 50:37.701
RONALDINHO: THE ONE AND ONLY

50:37.784 --> 50:38.827
…We don't stop

50:38.910 --> 50:43.415
Outside, inside, we don’t stop
Global, worldwide, we don’t stop

50:43.498 --> 50:45.709
From the bottom to the top
We don’t stop

50:45.792 --> 50:47.878
From the birds to the block
We don’t stop

50:47.961 --> 50:50.547
I’m ’bout to blow
like a fully-loaded TEC-9

50:50.630 --> 50:52.799
Turn the lights out
Go and tell ’em “bedtime”

50:52.883 --> 50:55.218
Gotta steal the show
Everywhere we go

50:55.302 --> 50:57.512
Got a superego, but now a hero

50:57.596 --> 50:59.848
I keep the flow hot
Like it came from below

50:59.931 --> 51:02.058
The people say
“Gee, oh man, he’s dope!”

51:02.142 --> 51:04.436
“He got a little swag
But I heard he’s broke”

51:04.519 --> 51:06.855
Well, money ain’t the thing
That brings me peace, though

51:06.938 --> 51:08.732
I’ve been lookin’ for more lately

51:08.815 --> 51:11.526
The cars and whores, daily
The like you couldn’t afford, baby

51:11.610 --> 51:13.904
Just for some new hubs
On my new Accord, baby

51:13.987 --> 51:16.323
Got a determination
You couldn't reward, baby

51:16.406 --> 51:18.992
The vision don't come with ease
You gotta learn it

51:19.076 --> 51:21.286
Ain’t nothin’ in life free
You gotta earn it

51:21.369 --> 51:23.288
We the winners
It's already determined

51:23.371 --> 51:25.457
Bras on, a thousand degrees
About to burn it

51:25.540 --> 51:30.003
Outside, inside, we don't stop
Global, worldwide, we don't stop

51:30.087 --> 51:32.172
From the bottom to the top
We don't stop

51:32.255 --> 51:34.758
From the birds to the block
We don't stop

51:34.841 --> 51:39.304
Outside, inside, we don't stop
Global, worldwide, we don't stop

51:39.387 --> 51:41.640
From the bottom to the top
We don't stop

51:41.723 --> 51:44.434
From the birds to the block
We don't stop

51:44.935 --> 51:47.229
Dress too sharp
I might shank ya

51:47.312 --> 51:51.024
Check the resumé, I'm gangsta
Payend on me, I might thank ya

51:51.107 --> 51:53.610
Green is natural colour
Let me paint ya

51:53.693 --> 51:56.029
A picture that's worth more
Than a thousand words

51:56.113 --> 51:58.156
I'm so gifted, prolific
Don't miss it

51:58.240 --> 52:00.992
So different, who we care
There ain't no competition

52:01.076 --> 52:03.161
I got a proposition for my opposition

52:03.245 --> 52:05.622
Smooth as the horns
When they comin'

52:05.705 --> 52:07.707
Beatin' like the man on the drummin'

52:07.791 --> 52:10.085
I am the light
If you wanna let the sun in

52:10.168 --> 52:12.379
I could make a hit
Like a boxer when he punchin'

52:12.462 --> 52:14.464
I could make a hit
Like a lineman runnin'

52:14.548 --> 52:17.008
To the kicker when he puntin'
You owe nothin'

52:17.092 --> 52:19.553
No matter where we are
Aye, we runnin'

52:19.636 --> 52:21.346
Up, down, left or right
It doesn't matter

52:21.429 --> 52:25.725
Outside, inside, we don't stop
Global, worldwide, we don't stop

52:25.809 --> 52:28.270
From the bottom to the top
We don't stop

52:28.353 --> 52:30.355
From the birds to the block
We don’t stop

52:30.438 --> 52:35.277
Outside, inside, we don’t stop
Global, worldwide, we don’t stop

52:35.360 --> 52:37.654
From the bottom to the top
We don’t stop

52:37.737 --> 52:39.948
From the birds to the block
We don’t stop

52:40.031 --> 52:42.659
No, we don't, we don't
We don't stop

52:42.742 --> 52:44.786
We don't, we don't
We don't stop

52:44.870 --> 52:47.247
We don't, we don't
We don't stop

52:47.330 --> 52:49.457
We don't, we don't
We don't stop

52:49.541 --> 52:51.793
We don't, we don't
We don't stop

52:51.877 --> 52:54.045
We don't, we don't
We don't stop

52:54.129 --> 52:56.840
I said, we don't, we don't
We don't stop…
dwide, we don’t stop
