WEBVTT

00:00:15.890 --> 00:00:18.018 align:center
This is the south of Brazil.

00:00:18.101 --> 00:00:20.770 align:center
That's why they call me Ronaldinho Gaúcho.

00:00:20.854 --> 00:00:22.981 align:center
We are from the south, we are gaúchos.

00:00:33.658 --> 00:00:36.161 align:center
This is my house,
where I throw my parties,

00:00:36.244 --> 00:00:37.412 align:center
listen to pagode.

00:00:37.495 --> 00:00:40.498 align:center
I have a soccer field,
where my friends have fun.

00:00:40.582 --> 00:00:42.042 align:center
I have a footvolley court.

00:00:43.460 --> 00:00:44.544 align:center
I have my animals.

00:00:44.627 --> 00:00:46.713 align:center
It's raining today, so they're all…

00:00:46.796 --> 00:00:48.006 align:center
But I have them.

00:00:48.715 --> 00:00:52.385 align:center
Pigs, chickens, cows, horses…

00:00:52.469 --> 00:00:53.720 align:center
oxen.

00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:55.430 align:center
A little bit of everything.

00:00:55.513 --> 00:00:57.348 align:center
I really like it here.

00:00:57.432 --> 00:01:00.602 align:center
Here, I don't have neighbors,
I don't have…

00:01:01.102 --> 00:01:02.812 align:center
I can make as much noise as I want.

00:01:11.196 --> 00:01:14.407 align:center
We have another
Tropa do Bruxo music video out today,

00:01:14.491 --> 00:01:17.452 align:center
which is a project that I love.

00:01:18.036 --> 00:01:20.872 align:center
Where we can
give opportunities to new talent.

00:01:20.955 --> 00:01:25.710 align:center
Where we can make
a lot of people known to the world.

00:01:25.794 --> 00:01:28.213 align:center
So I'm very happy, very happy.

00:01:29.839 --> 00:01:31.758 align:center
RONALDINHO: THE ONE AND ONLY

00:01:33.968 --> 00:01:36.596 align:center
EPISODE 02
THE BEST IN THE WORLD

00:01:38.473 --> 00:01:41.017 align:center
Tonight, Ronaldinho is expected to play

00:01:41.101 --> 00:01:43.353 align:center
his last game in Parisian colors.

00:01:43.436 --> 00:01:47.190 align:center
A year ago, nothing could have
suggested such a hasty exit.

00:01:47.732 --> 00:01:51.569 align:center
-Let's keep talking, all right?
-Sure, let's talk while we have coffee.

00:01:52.278 --> 00:01:53.696 align:center
So…

00:01:54.197 --> 00:01:56.074 align:center
Not a problem?

00:01:57.700 --> 00:01:59.369 align:center
It was an important stage.

00:01:59.953 --> 00:02:04.332 align:center
It was a continuation
of what we were already, uh…

00:02:05.083 --> 00:02:06.417 align:center
experiencing.

00:02:09.420 --> 00:02:12.674 align:center
Everybody knew
Ronaldinho wouldn't stay in Paris.

00:02:12.757 --> 00:02:16.010 align:center
We knew we couldn't keep him long,
even under contract.

00:02:17.011 --> 00:02:19.514 align:center
Ay, ay, ay…

00:02:22.433 --> 00:02:26.729 align:center
Laurent Perpére
is another father figure I had.

00:02:26.813 --> 00:02:30.441 align:center
I have so many wonderful things
to say about him.

00:02:30.525 --> 00:02:32.569 align:center
I'll say nothing about the other guy.

00:02:37.448 --> 00:02:40.743 align:center
He wasn't as happy anymore.
He was short-tempered.

00:02:40.827 --> 00:02:45.165 align:center
It wasn't easy to deal with him,
so it was time to leave.

00:02:48.042 --> 00:02:51.754 align:center
There was, at a time,
several clubs were interested,

00:02:51.838 --> 00:02:55.675 align:center
because we had won the World Cup.

00:02:55.758 --> 00:02:57.635 align:center
Many clubs were interested in me.

00:02:58.303 --> 00:03:00.847 align:center
He was a Brazilian world champion star.

00:03:01.431 --> 00:03:03.808 align:center
Everyone wanted him, it was his moment.

00:03:04.434 --> 00:03:07.228 align:center
We were in very advanced negotiations

00:03:07.312 --> 00:03:08.938 align:center
with Manchester United.

00:03:10.982 --> 00:03:12.984 align:center
BARCELONA
SPAIN

00:03:13.067 --> 00:03:16.613 align:center
Blue-and-black members
voted for the most radical change.

00:03:16.696 --> 00:03:19.824 align:center
I had my misgivings
regarding the club's feelings.

00:03:19.908 --> 00:03:22.619 align:center
We thought the club needed a change.

00:03:22.702 --> 00:03:24.871 align:center
When I ran for president, I was 39.

00:03:25.538 --> 00:03:28.166 align:center
Barcelona was going through
a very difficult time.

00:03:28.708 --> 00:03:31.461 align:center
They were saying
they were going to sign Beckham.

00:03:31.544 --> 00:03:36.215 align:center
For the transfer of soccer player
David Beckham to FC Barcelona.

00:03:36.299 --> 00:03:38.176 align:center
But Beckham signs with Real Madrid.

00:03:38.259 --> 00:03:39.510 align:center
It didn't matter to me,

00:03:39.594 --> 00:03:42.055 align:center
because I was closing
with Manchester United.

00:03:42.764 --> 00:03:46.184 align:center
Our favorite,
and we've always said it, was Ronaldinho.

00:03:46.267 --> 00:03:48.311 align:center
It was our first option
from the beginning.

00:03:48.394 --> 00:03:51.606 align:center
We were lucky enough
to have Sandro Rosell on the board,

00:03:51.689 --> 00:03:54.859 align:center
who'd worked with him
on the Brazilian national team.

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.488 align:center
Sandro Rosell and I had
already worked together at Nike.

00:03:58.571 --> 00:04:01.574 align:center
He said he was going to run
for president of Barcelona,

00:04:01.658 --> 00:04:04.160 align:center
and that if I went to Barcelona,
he would take me.

00:04:04.244 --> 00:04:07.830 align:center
He said, "Don't sign with Manchester,
come to Barcelona."

00:04:08.414 --> 00:04:09.874 align:center
But it was a tough negotiation.

00:04:11.250 --> 00:04:13.169 align:center
He's not allowed to go paragliding,

00:04:13.253 --> 00:04:14.671 align:center
skiing, rock-climbing,

00:04:14.754 --> 00:04:17.674 align:center
take performance-enhancing drugs
or substances

00:04:17.757 --> 00:04:20.718 align:center
which are incompatible
with professional soccer rules.

00:04:22.553 --> 00:04:26.265 align:center
Say how much,
because if you push, they'll push.

00:04:26.349 --> 00:04:27.934 align:center
It's a bad deal.

00:04:28.017 --> 00:04:30.853 align:center
It's bad to make him part of the deal.

00:04:31.688 --> 00:04:35.191 align:center
I went to watch matches
at Camp Nou many times.

00:04:35.275 --> 00:04:39.028 align:center
I looked at that stadium,
I walked past the Sagrada Família,

00:04:39.570 --> 00:04:43.074 align:center
I went all over the place,
and I think I planted a seed there,

00:04:43.157 --> 00:04:46.327 align:center
'cause I always said,
"This is the place for my brother."

00:04:46.411 --> 00:04:48.246 align:center
There was no other place for him to go.

00:04:48.329 --> 00:04:51.457 align:center
The city, the beach,
it had everything that we liked.

00:04:52.166 --> 00:04:53.918 align:center
It was a place for Brazilians.

00:04:54.002 --> 00:04:57.630 align:center
It was that moment in Barcelona.
We arrived at just the right time, man.

00:04:57.714 --> 00:04:59.716 align:center
There was no way it could go wrong.

00:05:04.554 --> 00:05:05.596 align:center
Welcome!

00:05:11.561 --> 00:05:15.148 align:center
The Brazilian player
leaves PSG to sign with Barça.

00:05:15.231 --> 00:05:18.609 align:center
The price of the transfer?
Thirty million euros.

00:05:19.944 --> 00:05:22.780 align:center
And, unfortunately,
my father couldn't be there…

00:05:24.574 --> 00:05:28.161 align:center
…to watch our victory,
to be a part of that moment.

00:05:28.661 --> 00:05:31.622 align:center
I felt like he missed out on, uh…

00:05:31.706 --> 00:05:33.875 align:center
a part of the story, you know?

00:05:41.132 --> 00:05:42.425 align:center
BARCELONA
SPAIN

00:05:49.390 --> 00:05:52.435 align:center
You're my idol! You're my idol, man!

00:05:52.935 --> 00:05:55.229 align:center
Legend! Legend!

00:05:55.313 --> 00:05:57.982 align:center
Hey, Ronaldinho!

00:05:59.067 --> 00:06:02.528 align:center
We're so pleased
to inaugurate the Walk of Stars

00:06:02.612 --> 00:06:05.156 align:center
with someone as great as Ronaldinho,

00:06:05.239 --> 00:06:07.158 align:center
who showed great passion for our city

00:06:07.241 --> 00:06:09.702 align:center
when he was with Barcelona FC.

00:06:09.786 --> 00:06:12.163 align:center
I'm so grateful
Ronaldinho is the first star

00:06:12.246 --> 00:06:16.667 align:center
in our Walk of Stars, in Castelldefels.
Thank you, Ronaldinho!

00:06:26.010 --> 00:06:27.220 align:center
I've always liked it.

00:06:27.804 --> 00:06:30.807 align:center
It was a club that was historic for me.

00:06:30.890 --> 00:06:33.226 align:center
My idols had also played for Barcelona.

00:06:35.144 --> 00:06:38.397 align:center
Barcelona has always been
a great soccer school.

00:06:38.481 --> 00:06:40.858 align:center
Very similar to the Brazilian style.

00:06:40.942 --> 00:06:42.568 align:center
They play beautifully.

00:06:43.069 --> 00:06:46.489 align:center
And life in Barcelona
was also much easier.

00:06:46.572 --> 00:06:49.033 align:center
You could find parties everywhere,
but the beach…

00:06:52.787 --> 00:06:54.956 align:center
The city of Barcelona needed joy.

00:06:55.039 --> 00:06:58.167 align:center
Barcelona was going through a dry spell.

00:06:59.335 --> 00:07:01.421 align:center
They weren't getting anywhere lately.

00:07:01.504 --> 00:07:05.883 align:center
And for such a big, historical club
to go through that, it's chaotic.

00:07:07.844 --> 00:07:11.764 align:center
Ronnie was key.
He kicked off Barça's renewal period.

00:07:12.348 --> 00:07:14.684 align:center
Even though Barcelona wasn't doing well,

00:07:14.767 --> 00:07:20.356 align:center
they had, uh,
a plan for the future that I really liked.

00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:23.443 align:center
A new coach, new players.

00:07:24.110 --> 00:07:26.904 align:center
He could be a decisive asset to compete

00:07:26.988 --> 00:07:31.909 align:center
with the other great Spanish team,
Real Madrid, with Zidane and Beckham.

00:07:32.577 --> 00:07:35.455 align:center
To overcome
that depression Barcelona felt,

00:07:35.538 --> 00:07:37.373 align:center
Beckham was not enough.

00:07:37.457 --> 00:07:41.169 align:center
Because it wasn't only about
Ronaldinho's soccer, but about his joy.

00:07:45.756 --> 00:07:47.758 align:center
Ronaldinho!

00:07:48.676 --> 00:07:50.761 align:center
His debut was amazing.

00:07:50.845 --> 00:07:53.014 align:center
He did what he was always used to doing,

00:07:53.097 --> 00:07:55.141 align:center
but we weren't used to seeing it.

00:07:55.224 --> 00:07:57.185 align:center
And it was crazy.

00:07:58.311 --> 00:08:02.190 align:center
Not even Laporta or Rosell expected
what he would mean for the club,

00:08:02.273 --> 00:08:03.649 align:center
and the world.

00:08:04.233 --> 00:08:06.152 align:center
I was welcomed with so much love.

00:08:06.235 --> 00:08:09.989 align:center
I hadn't even played yet,
and at my introduction,

00:08:10.072 --> 00:08:12.700 align:center
there were already
so many people showing me affection,

00:08:12.783 --> 00:08:14.327 align:center
before my first game.

00:08:14.827 --> 00:08:16.537 align:center
It's one of
the greatest thrills of my life.

00:08:21.792 --> 00:08:24.378 align:center
The first game was…

00:08:25.880 --> 00:08:27.965 align:center
I couldn't have had a better debut.

00:08:28.758 --> 00:08:30.551 align:center
It was a completely different game.

00:08:30.635 --> 00:08:33.930 align:center
I think everything
in my career was very different.

00:08:35.848 --> 00:08:38.059 align:center
We had to play an international game.

00:08:38.142 --> 00:08:40.269 align:center
We weren't even in the Champions League.

00:08:40.353 --> 00:08:44.232 align:center
And the Federation wanted us
to play on a Sunday.

00:08:45.024 --> 00:08:46.901 align:center
And we said, "No, on Saturday, please,

00:08:46.984 --> 00:08:50.488 align:center
because we're playing on Tuesday
and we need that time to rest."

00:08:50.571 --> 00:08:54.033 align:center
We didn't know why the Federation
wouldn't let us play on Saturday.

00:08:54.116 --> 00:08:58.287 align:center
So we said, "If it has to be on Sunday,
then we get to pick the time."

00:08:58.371 --> 00:09:01.874 align:center
"Well, then it'll be on Sunday
at 00:01 in the morning."

00:09:01.958 --> 00:09:04.585 align:center
It was midnight, or something like that.

00:09:04.669 --> 00:09:07.255 align:center
I don't think there was
another game at that time.

00:09:07.755 --> 00:09:09.924 align:center
Is this… Is this normal here?

00:09:10.007 --> 00:09:12.093 align:center
There was a huge uproar!

00:09:12.176 --> 00:09:14.554 align:center
At last, Barça introduced Ronaldinho,

00:09:14.637 --> 00:09:17.056 align:center
the media-famous signing
they've wanted so much.

00:09:17.640 --> 00:09:19.350 align:center
It's 12:05 in the morning!

00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:22.270 align:center
There was a lot of excitement
around that game,

00:09:22.353 --> 00:09:24.772 align:center
because Ronaldinho's promise was so great,

00:09:24.855 --> 00:09:26.357 align:center
everyone was anticipating it.

00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.819 align:center
I thought nobody would show up
at midnight. It was packed!

00:09:29.902 --> 00:09:33.990 align:center
Ronaldinho, the magician, was there,
but he had to show it in the field.

00:09:36.742 --> 00:09:40.705 align:center
I remember that game was tough,
'cause I had to go against young Reyes.

00:09:42.331 --> 00:09:44.083 align:center
He gave me a hard time.

00:09:47.378 --> 00:09:50.840 align:center
For the first six months,
we found it very hard to win.

00:09:50.923 --> 00:09:52.633 align:center
We were always so close!

00:09:56.095 --> 00:09:57.805 align:center
We were down 1-0,

00:09:57.888 --> 00:10:00.725 align:center
Ronnie gets the ball in midfield,
moves up a little…

00:10:00.808 --> 00:10:03.227 align:center
Here comes
the Midnight Express, it's Ronaldinho!

00:10:03.311 --> 00:10:06.439 align:center
Cuts inside, keeps going.
Still going, Ronaldinho.

00:10:06.522 --> 00:10:08.816 align:center
Oh, he's put it in,
it's a goal, it's a goal!

00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:13.237 align:center
From a full 35 meters,
is the nothing this man can't do?

00:10:13.321 --> 00:10:18.284 align:center
I got the ball, dribbled past one,
past another, shot from outside the box,

00:10:18.868 --> 00:10:21.412 align:center
and scored a great goal.

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.250 align:center
After having put
so much on the line, I was very happy.

00:10:27.168 --> 00:10:29.378 align:center
So it was the best debut possible.

00:10:31.922 --> 00:10:35.676 align:center
It made people excited
and eager to start a new project

00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:37.928 align:center
and build something great.

00:10:38.429 --> 00:10:41.557 align:center
He brought back
the optimism that we had lost.

00:10:42.141 --> 00:10:44.810 align:center
It wasn't only his talent,
which was superb,

00:10:44.894 --> 00:10:48.022 align:center
but also his charisma,
his energy, his smile.

00:10:48.648 --> 00:10:51.442 align:center
That Brazilian side
brought that joy back to the club.

00:10:52.610 --> 00:10:55.029 align:center
Because joy is contagious.

00:10:55.112 --> 00:10:56.697 align:center
Joy changes people's mood.

00:10:58.074 --> 00:11:00.660 align:center
The feeling that night,
lights, everything,

00:11:00.743 --> 00:11:03.871 align:center
it felt like a stellar night!
Something stellar.

00:11:05.623 --> 00:11:09.627 align:center
Everything was buzzing.
All of Catalunya was buzzing.

00:11:10.961 --> 00:11:14.924 align:center
The Fabra Observatory
has detected seismic activity

00:11:15.007 --> 00:11:16.967 align:center
around 1:00 in the morning.

00:11:17.051 --> 00:11:19.387 align:center
I always joked about this. I said,

00:11:19.470 --> 00:11:22.181 align:center
"The game is at midnight,
of course it will work out for me."

00:11:24.266 --> 00:11:26.435 align:center
Everyone seemed to be sure.

00:11:27.186 --> 00:11:30.898 align:center
"The guy who will help us has arrived."

00:11:33.651 --> 00:11:36.821 align:center
Welcome to the 2003/2004 League.

00:11:36.904 --> 00:11:39.699 align:center
And this year, Barça is coming for it all.

00:11:39.782 --> 00:11:43.577 align:center
Renewed from the presidency,
to the bench, to the field.

00:11:43.661 --> 00:11:46.872 align:center
The 2003/2004 season was difficult.

00:11:47.456 --> 00:11:50.000 align:center
New coach, several new players.

00:11:50.084 --> 00:11:51.836 align:center
They finished the first round
in sixth place.

00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.213 align:center
In the second round
of the Spanish Championship,

00:11:54.296 --> 00:11:55.297 align:center
we did very well.

00:11:55.381 --> 00:11:57.675 align:center
Valencia were champions,
and we finished second,

00:11:57.758 --> 00:11:59.718 align:center
qualifying for the Champions League.

00:12:00.302 --> 00:12:03.931 align:center
The goal was to get Barcelona
back in the Champions League

00:12:04.014 --> 00:12:06.767 align:center
and make more money
to bring in other players

00:12:06.851 --> 00:12:08.728 align:center
and build a stronger team.

00:12:09.437 --> 00:12:11.188 align:center
We'll have a great team.

00:12:11.272 --> 00:12:15.025 align:center
Players coming in
must understand our club's philosophy.

00:12:15.609 --> 00:12:18.612 align:center
I think Deco,
Eto'o, Larsson, and others came in

00:12:18.696 --> 00:12:20.740 align:center
and added a lot of value to the team.

00:12:22.158 --> 00:12:23.868 align:center
Edmílson, Belletti, Rafa Márquez,

00:12:23.951 --> 00:12:27.079 align:center
the ones who came in, and the ones
who were already here, like Ronaldinho.

00:12:27.163 --> 00:12:29.748 align:center
Deco and Ronnie's relationship was key.

00:12:29.832 --> 00:12:32.376 align:center
At first,
everyone thought it wouldn't work.

00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:34.879 align:center
"They both play in the same position."

00:12:35.463 --> 00:12:38.924 align:center
He was coming off
a fantastic period at Porto,

00:12:39.425 --> 00:12:41.177 align:center
where he was the team's number 10.

00:12:41.260 --> 00:12:44.930 align:center
Then he came here,
"How come you're both playing number 10?"

00:12:45.014 --> 00:12:46.474 align:center
But right away he said,

00:12:46.557 --> 00:12:49.518 align:center
"I'll play a little more to the side,
so we can play together."

00:12:49.602 --> 00:12:53.105 align:center
A team was taking shape
that people would fall in love with,

00:12:53.189 --> 00:12:56.984 align:center
and its leader,
the face of this team, was mainly Ronnie.

00:12:57.568 --> 00:13:00.196 align:center
They were an incredible team.
They played so well together.

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:04.241 align:center
Welcome to Camp Nou! Ronaldinho… Goal!

00:13:04.325 --> 00:13:07.745 align:center
Ronaldinho…
Ronaldinho goes for it. He shoots!

00:13:09.663 --> 00:13:13.125 align:center
What now?
Barça is close to the league title!

00:13:13.209 --> 00:13:16.295 align:center
Goal! Goal! Goal!…

00:13:18.214 --> 00:13:19.632 align:center
Go! Go!

00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:22.134 align:center
Fucking go!

00:13:22.718 --> 00:13:26.138 align:center
At that time, younger soccer players
sat on the other side.

00:13:26.222 --> 00:13:28.641 align:center
The locker room was like this,
we'd sit there.

00:13:29.225 --> 00:13:31.602 align:center
Until he came up to me and went,

00:13:31.685 --> 00:13:34.688 align:center
"Come sit with us on this side,
you don't have to stay there."

00:13:35.272 --> 00:13:37.691 align:center
He welcomed me in an amazing way.

00:13:42.363 --> 00:13:44.448 align:center
Messi, take one. Marker.

00:13:51.288 --> 00:13:54.291 align:center
He was the star of that dressing room.

00:13:54.375 --> 00:13:58.838 align:center
And the way he approached me,
how he treated me from day one,

00:13:59.338 --> 00:14:01.799 align:center
made everything much easier for me.

00:14:01.882 --> 00:14:05.135 align:center
Made me relax
and enjoy my time playing there,

00:14:05.219 --> 00:14:07.555 align:center
sharing the dressing room at that time.

00:14:08.055 --> 00:14:12.560 align:center
I'm so thankful to him for everything,
and he holds a special place in my heart.

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.145 align:center
He was already talented.

00:14:15.229 --> 00:14:17.648 align:center
He was already standing out
on the youth team.

00:14:19.066 --> 00:14:24.113 align:center
And when he arrived,
our friendship just happened naturally.

00:14:24.196 --> 00:14:27.116 align:center
We got along well, on and off the field.

00:14:27.950 --> 00:14:31.161 align:center
Messi is coming in.
He's just 17 years old.

00:14:31.245 --> 00:14:33.872 align:center
Every minute he plays is a joy to watch.

00:14:33.956 --> 00:14:36.792 align:center
Look, there he is! Offside!

00:14:38.210 --> 00:14:43.173 align:center
Velasco Carballo,
let us have this goal. Please, man!

00:14:43.257 --> 00:14:47.636 align:center
I'd scored a goal,
but they said it was offside.

00:14:50.014 --> 00:14:53.726 align:center
Ronaldinho making
the most of his minutes with Messi.

00:14:54.268 --> 00:14:56.645 align:center
There's Messi… Goal!

00:14:57.229 --> 00:15:03.110 align:center
Goal! An amazing goal by Messi!

00:15:10.326 --> 00:15:11.577 align:center
It was wild.

00:15:11.660 --> 00:15:14.914 align:center
My debut on that field,
scoring my first goal.

00:15:14.997 --> 00:15:16.582 align:center
He may've done it on purpose,

00:15:16.665 --> 00:15:20.419 align:center
done everything he could
for me to score that goal at that moment.

00:15:20.502 --> 00:15:23.631 align:center
I know him, and it's very much like him.

00:15:24.298 --> 00:15:28.260 align:center
I think it was
such a remarkable, meaningful gesture.

00:15:28.344 --> 00:15:31.805 align:center
The best player in the world
is the first one to welcome

00:15:31.889 --> 00:15:35.309 align:center
the one he believes
could be his successor.

00:15:36.644 --> 00:15:40.689 align:center
And then we just had
a very spontaneous, natural celebration.

00:15:40.773 --> 00:15:43.233 align:center
We were there,
he gave me a piggyback ride.

00:15:43.317 --> 00:15:45.194 align:center
It was crazy, I couldn't believe it.

00:15:45.277 --> 00:15:48.656 align:center
It was a dream to score at Camp Nou,

00:15:48.739 --> 00:15:50.074 align:center
to be there in that moment!

00:15:50.157 --> 00:15:53.452 align:center
So, I got on his back and…
it made a big impact.

00:16:00.918 --> 00:16:04.004 align:center
Barça and Real Madrid
are fighting for the title

00:16:04.088 --> 00:16:05.839 align:center
of this exciting league.

00:16:05.923 --> 00:16:09.218 align:center
If Real Madrid ties
and Barcelona doesn't lose,

00:16:09.301 --> 00:16:13.764 align:center
Barça can be named
the champion after five years.

00:16:13.847 --> 00:16:16.558 align:center
Javi Navarro scores!

00:16:16.642 --> 00:16:19.645 align:center
Real Madrid 1, Sevilla 1!

00:16:21.355 --> 00:16:23.023 align:center
And that day in the League,

00:16:23.107 --> 00:16:26.151 align:center
we were all obviously
very excited for that game.

00:16:27.528 --> 00:16:30.406 align:center
The day I become champion, then…

00:16:30.489 --> 00:16:32.908 align:center
I'll feel like a champion.

00:16:32.992 --> 00:16:36.120 align:center
I think we're close,
but we're not there yet.

00:16:38.497 --> 00:16:39.873 align:center
SPANISH LEAGUE 2004/2005

00:16:39.957 --> 00:16:43.460 align:center
I think we only needed a draw,
given the other results.

00:16:45.587 --> 00:16:47.006 align:center
We went into the game saying,

00:16:47.089 --> 00:16:49.341 align:center
"Calm down,
let's hold on for a bit, a draw is fine."

00:16:49.425 --> 00:16:51.635 align:center
Then, all of a sudden,
a Levante player made a move,

00:16:51.719 --> 00:16:53.053 align:center
and smashed a shot off the post.

00:16:53.762 --> 00:16:55.222 align:center
He kicks!

00:16:57.141 --> 00:16:58.100 align:center
It was a game-changer.

00:16:59.017 --> 00:17:02.062 align:center
He shoots and scores! Levante just scored!

00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:06.567 align:center
It's normal in a title-deciding match,
you're always a bit tense.

00:17:06.650 --> 00:17:10.112 align:center
A game that you know can win you a title
is always more nerve-racking.

00:17:11.321 --> 00:17:13.574 align:center
Here comes Ronaldinho, and it's out!

00:17:13.657 --> 00:17:17.036 align:center
Ronaldinho complains,
gets irritated, asks for a foul.

00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.121 align:center
Yellow card for Ronaldinho!

00:17:19.747 --> 00:17:21.707 align:center
Closing a game is not easy.

00:17:21.790 --> 00:17:24.543 align:center
We knew we were there,
we could be champions.

00:17:25.627 --> 00:17:27.755 align:center
Márquez with the ball.

00:17:27.838 --> 00:17:32.092 align:center
Ronaldinho for the challenge,
and gets tackled!

00:17:32.176 --> 00:17:33.969 align:center
The game is heating up!

00:17:35.095 --> 00:17:37.931 align:center
The nerves of potentially
becoming champion were at stake.

00:17:38.015 --> 00:17:40.350 align:center
And none of us had ever done it.

00:17:45.606 --> 00:17:48.192 align:center
Xavi takes the corner kick,
here comes Eto'o…

00:17:48.275 --> 00:17:51.820 align:center
Goal!

00:17:54.323 --> 00:17:57.868 align:center
The crowd at the
Ciudad de Valencia stadium is in ecstasy.

00:17:57.951 --> 00:18:00.079 align:center
When the referee blows the final whistle,

00:18:00.162 --> 00:18:03.373 align:center
Barça will be champions again
after five years.

00:18:03.957 --> 00:18:07.419 align:center
Champions, champions, champions!

00:18:11.632 --> 00:18:14.426 align:center
Being champions was everything we wanted.

00:18:14.927 --> 00:18:18.597 align:center
It was the culmination
of everything we'd already worked for,

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.266 align:center
everything we had dreamed of.

00:18:21.350 --> 00:18:25.312 align:center
So from then on,
we started to feed our dreams

00:18:25.395 --> 00:18:28.065 align:center
of wanting to win
the Champions League too,

00:18:28.148 --> 00:18:29.691 align:center
of winning other things.

00:18:30.275 --> 00:18:32.277 align:center
So that was a very important step.

00:18:33.946 --> 00:18:36.406 align:center
"BARCELONA CELEBRATES AGAIN! "

00:18:36.490 --> 00:18:40.119 align:center
The feeling of relief, of finally winning,
of happiness, all mixed together.

00:18:40.202 --> 00:18:41.995 align:center
We felt all of that through the fans.

00:18:42.871 --> 00:18:45.124 align:center
Every day,
people on the streets would say,

00:18:45.207 --> 00:18:47.709 align:center
"Thanks for coming, Ronnie!
Thanks for this joy!"

00:18:47.793 --> 00:18:50.754 align:center
But it was the opposite.
He wanted to thank the people.

00:18:52.172 --> 00:18:54.591 align:center
They made it possible
for Barça to win again,

00:18:54.675 --> 00:18:56.969 align:center
and for people
to fall in love with us again.

00:18:57.052 --> 00:18:58.262 align:center
MANISES AIRPORT

00:18:59.596 --> 00:19:00.639 align:center
ARRIVAL IN BARCELONA

00:19:00.722 --> 00:19:01.598 align:center
EL PRAT AIRPORT

00:19:04.226 --> 00:19:06.186 align:center
We arrived in Barcelona to a huge crowd.

00:19:06.270 --> 00:19:08.063 align:center
It was around midnight, one o'clock.

00:19:08.689 --> 00:19:11.483 align:center
The whole city had taken to the streets.

00:19:11.567 --> 00:19:13.569 align:center
I'd only seen something like that
in the World Cup.

00:19:15.362 --> 00:19:18.365 align:center
It was the beginning of an incredible era.

00:19:19.283 --> 00:19:21.201 align:center
I felt fulfilled, you know?

00:19:21.285 --> 00:19:25.414 align:center
I felt like I'd made the right choice,
and came to the right place.

00:19:25.497 --> 00:19:28.500 align:center
Everybody, good evening, everybody!

00:19:29.543 --> 00:19:33.046 align:center
It was a magical moment, you know?
Every time you win a title, it's magical.

00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:36.717 align:center
When a player begins
winning titles at a very young age,

00:19:36.800 --> 00:19:40.804 align:center
they develop a taste for it,
and they want to win every year.

00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:49.688 align:center
WORLD PLAYER GALA
FIFA 2004

00:19:51.732 --> 00:19:54.359 align:center
Ladies and gentlemen,
the result in a few seconds.

00:19:54.443 --> 00:19:56.195 align:center
Ronaldinho!

00:20:03.076 --> 00:20:06.496 align:center
If I could share this award,

00:20:06.997 --> 00:20:09.583 align:center
I'd give each of you a little piece.

00:20:09.666 --> 00:20:10.959 align:center
Thank you.

00:20:13.212 --> 00:20:17.382 align:center
The first time he was named
the best player in the world,

00:20:17.466 --> 00:20:20.010 align:center
my mother and I were crying,
hugging each other.

00:20:20.510 --> 00:20:24.723 align:center
I think moments like that make you say,
"Man! We made it."

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:33.690 align:center
Ronaldinho's life has changed.

00:20:34.191 --> 00:20:35.901 align:center
João has been born.

00:20:36.401 --> 00:20:39.696 align:center
The son of the star, who lives in Brazil,

00:20:39.780 --> 00:20:42.866 align:center
and who has been named
after Ronaldinho's father.

00:20:44.034 --> 00:20:45.410 align:center
We both agreed.

00:20:45.494 --> 00:20:49.414 align:center
His mother also really liked the name.

00:20:58.215 --> 00:20:59.967 align:center
Something I really regret

00:21:00.050 --> 00:21:02.803 align:center
is not being there
the day my son was born.

00:21:03.303 --> 00:21:06.765 align:center
This is something that,
if I could go back,

00:21:08.141 --> 00:21:09.726 align:center
I wouldn't do it again.

00:21:10.227 --> 00:21:12.813 align:center
I was playing.

00:21:13.563 --> 00:21:14.898 align:center
I was playing.

00:21:17.317 --> 00:21:19.987 align:center
It was game day. So…

00:21:20.654 --> 00:21:21.905 align:center
I was playing.

00:21:26.994 --> 00:21:30.122 align:center
My name is João Mendes de Assis Moreira,
and I'm Ronaldinho's son.

00:21:34.251 --> 00:21:36.169 align:center
LONDON
ENGLAND

00:21:38.714 --> 00:21:42.009 align:center
Birthdays were the hardest, of course.

00:21:42.592 --> 00:21:44.886 align:center
Because we always wanted to be together,

00:21:44.970 --> 00:21:49.099 align:center
but either he was in another country,
or he had a game, or he had to practice.

00:21:49.683 --> 00:21:52.519 align:center
And as his son,
yeah, we lived through that.

00:21:53.020 --> 00:21:55.397 align:center
We know how difficult that part is.

00:21:55.897 --> 00:21:57.566 align:center
His mom and I are not together,

00:21:57.649 --> 00:22:00.610 align:center
so we live our lives
somewhat far apart. So…

00:22:01.194 --> 00:22:03.613 align:center
We always try to be together
whenever we have the chance.

00:22:03.697 --> 00:22:07.367 align:center
But he's a normal kid,
he has a normal childhood, like I did.

00:22:07.451 --> 00:22:09.202 align:center
He likes soccer.

00:22:09.286 --> 00:22:14.499 align:center
He's always… joking around.
He's the best thing in my life.

00:22:17.836 --> 00:22:21.798 align:center
I think my mother tried to make
my childhood as normal as possible,

00:22:21.882 --> 00:22:26.094 align:center
knowing that who my father is,
it wouldn't be so normal.

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:31.099 align:center
I've always feared that when he grew up,

00:22:31.183 --> 00:22:33.894 align:center
he wouldn't understand
why I wasn't around,

00:22:33.977 --> 00:22:35.979 align:center
why I missed some of his birthdays,

00:22:36.063 --> 00:22:38.732 align:center
why I missed… …his birth.

00:22:38.815 --> 00:22:43.987 align:center
Why I missed when he…
Many things, many situations.

00:22:44.988 --> 00:22:48.575 align:center
Today,
working as a soccer player, I understand…

00:22:49.701 --> 00:22:52.871 align:center
how much you end up missing in life.

00:22:55.248 --> 00:22:58.877 align:center
I think that now,
he's going through the same thing I did,

00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:00.837 align:center
it'll be easier for him…

00:23:01.338 --> 00:23:04.257 align:center
to forgive me and understand me.

00:23:04.841 --> 00:23:06.218 align:center
I'm happy…

00:23:06.718 --> 00:23:09.721 align:center
that he's going after his dreams.

00:23:09.805 --> 00:23:13.308 align:center
He knows how much I love him,
regardless of my mistakes.

00:23:16.812 --> 00:23:18.355 align:center
And our relationship today,

00:23:18.438 --> 00:23:22.609 align:center
besides being father and son,
is also a friendship.

00:23:22.692 --> 00:23:23.819 align:center
We're really close.

00:23:23.902 --> 00:23:27.948 align:center
We like listening to music together,
playing footvolley together.

00:23:28.448 --> 00:23:31.409 align:center
So, beyond being father and son,
we've become good friends,

00:23:31.493 --> 00:23:32.994 align:center
and we have things in common.

00:23:35.288 --> 00:23:37.332 align:center
He's there for me, he supports me.

00:23:37.416 --> 00:23:39.042 align:center
I like hearing his opinion,

00:23:39.126 --> 00:23:42.212 align:center
"Oh, this place is bad,
or this place is not the best."

00:23:42.295 --> 00:23:45.674 align:center
I also talk to my uncle.
He helps me make decisions.

00:23:46.675 --> 00:23:48.468 align:center
It's a wonderful relationship.

00:23:48.552 --> 00:23:51.263 align:center
And my granddaughter's on her way!

00:23:51.346 --> 00:23:55.225 align:center
Today, I wouldn't miss my son's birth

00:23:56.059 --> 00:23:58.728 align:center
for any game in the world.

00:24:06.069 --> 00:24:06.945 align:center
MADRID
SPAIN

00:24:09.114 --> 00:24:10.699 align:center
3RD SEASON IN BARCELONA

00:24:13.076 --> 00:24:17.080 align:center
Barcelona is in second place
in the Spanish Championship.

00:24:17.164 --> 00:24:19.875 align:center
This match could be decisive.

00:24:19.958 --> 00:24:22.586 align:center
Everything changes
in the week leading up to a derby.

00:24:22.669 --> 00:24:26.756 align:center
People behave differently,
the managers behave differently.

00:24:28.258 --> 00:24:29.759 align:center
That game was unreal.

00:24:30.343 --> 00:24:33.513 align:center
It was one of those things
you would've never seen coming.

00:24:34.097 --> 00:24:37.809 align:center
We have a lot of respect for Madrid,
but tomorrow it'll be a duel.

00:24:37.893 --> 00:24:41.229 align:center
Against a team like Madrid,
you may win, you may lose.

00:24:41.855 --> 00:24:46.693 align:center
Everyone said they were the Galácticos,
the most iconic and historic players,

00:24:46.776 --> 00:24:48.153 align:center
all playing together.

00:24:48.236 --> 00:24:51.823 align:center
Ronaldo, Raul, Figo,
Zidane, Roberto Carlos…

00:24:51.907 --> 00:24:53.825 align:center
Beckham! Oh my God!

00:24:53.909 --> 00:24:56.244 align:center
Let's go!

00:24:56.912 --> 00:25:00.499 align:center
At that time, Real Madrid
really transformed world soccer

00:25:00.582 --> 00:25:02.876 align:center
into a very powerful industry.

00:25:02.959 --> 00:25:05.504 align:center
First year, European champion.

00:25:05.587 --> 00:25:08.506 align:center
Second year,
we won the Spanish Championship.

00:25:08.590 --> 00:25:11.551 align:center
Our opponents wanted
to play against Real Madrid.

00:25:11.635 --> 00:25:16.431 align:center
It was so nice to say,
"The Galácticos have no chance."

00:25:18.225 --> 00:25:19.893 align:center
There'd be no one left.

00:25:21.561 --> 00:25:23.730 align:center
Let's enjoy this quintessential 90-minutes

00:25:23.813 --> 00:25:25.565 align:center
at Santiago Bernabéu.

00:25:25.649 --> 00:25:27.943 align:center
The classic Spanish derby.

00:25:28.026 --> 00:25:31.446 align:center
What a hostile welcome for FC Barcelona.

00:25:31.530 --> 00:25:34.366 align:center
People kind of underestimated us.

00:25:34.449 --> 00:25:39.204 align:center
So, being able to show
that we could defeat the Galácticos

00:25:39.287 --> 00:25:41.831 align:center
was beyond…

00:25:42.791 --> 00:25:43.959 align:center
beyond motivating!

00:25:44.042 --> 00:25:46.044 align:center
And Barça kicks off.

00:25:46.127 --> 00:25:47.879 align:center
Watch Ronaldinho.

00:25:47.963 --> 00:25:50.090 align:center
In comes David Beckham.

00:25:50.674 --> 00:25:54.261 align:center
We knew exactly that we had to defend,
we had to control the game.

00:25:54.344 --> 00:25:58.098 align:center
And that Ronaldinho, at some point,
would do something magical.

00:25:58.181 --> 00:26:00.392 align:center
There goes Ronaldinho. He shoots!

00:26:00.475 --> 00:26:02.602 align:center
The ball hits the wall. The rebound.

00:26:02.686 --> 00:26:06.189 align:center
Let's watch the counterattack.
Messi with the ball, Messi keeps going.

00:26:06.273 --> 00:26:07.732 align:center
He passes to Eto'o, he shoots…

00:26:07.816 --> 00:26:09.859 align:center
Goal!

00:26:10.443 --> 00:26:15.115 align:center
Eto'o scores, and you can see
that Real Madrid fans are not happy.

00:26:15.198 --> 00:26:18.702 align:center
Florentino Pérez
definitely does not look happy.

00:26:18.785 --> 00:26:20.537 align:center
-This is bad.
-Why?

00:26:20.620 --> 00:26:22.497 align:center
'Cause Madrid can't come back from this.

00:26:22.581 --> 00:26:26.793 align:center
He faces Ramos.
There's Ronaldinho with another epic play.

00:26:26.876 --> 00:26:29.254 align:center
Let's see if Ramos is able to block him.

00:26:29.754 --> 00:26:33.174 align:center
Ronaldinho keeps going.
Straight onto Messi's head.

00:26:33.758 --> 00:26:36.011 align:center
Still a one-goal difference.

00:26:36.511 --> 00:26:38.930 align:center
The feeling you got at times
during the games

00:26:39.014 --> 00:26:41.725 align:center
from the defenders
going against Ronaldinho,

00:26:41.808 --> 00:26:43.143 align:center
is that they were afraid of him.

00:26:43.226 --> 00:26:45.353 align:center
Before the game, I hugged him and said,

00:26:45.437 --> 00:26:47.772 align:center
"Play on the other side.
Leave my left side alone."

00:26:48.648 --> 00:26:51.318 align:center
The Galácticos
are struggling to attack Barça.

00:26:51.401 --> 00:26:52.652 align:center
Watch Ronaldinho.

00:26:52.736 --> 00:26:53.987 align:center
Let's see what he's made of.

00:26:54.070 --> 00:26:56.823 align:center
Ramos is coming.
Ronaldinho dribbles past him.

00:26:57.324 --> 00:26:59.701 align:center
We actually took the ball,
and I passed it to him.

00:26:59.784 --> 00:27:01.286 align:center
Then he did what he did.

00:27:01.369 --> 00:27:03.538 align:center
I saw him running,
and the defender's running after him.

00:27:03.621 --> 00:27:05.832 align:center
And he kept going with everyone after him.

00:27:05.915 --> 00:27:08.043 align:center
Goal!

00:27:08.126 --> 00:27:11.588 align:center
What a goal by Ronaldinho!

00:27:13.298 --> 00:27:17.969 align:center
A spectacular play by Ronaldinho Gaúcho.

00:27:19.554 --> 00:27:20.889 align:center
And he scores a great goal.

00:27:20.972 --> 00:27:22.390 align:center
An unforgettable goal.

00:27:22.474 --> 00:27:24.768 align:center
I'm going home now, man.

00:27:25.935 --> 00:27:29.773 align:center
I'm heated. I'll have ten whiskies
and go straight to bed!

00:27:31.983 --> 00:27:33.943 align:center
Watching the goal back today,

00:27:34.027 --> 00:27:37.906 align:center
I regret not having dribbled
past Roberto Carlos too.

00:27:37.989 --> 00:27:40.033 align:center
Imagine if I'd dribbled past him too.

00:27:40.116 --> 00:27:42.202 align:center
It would've been even more beautiful!

00:27:42.285 --> 00:27:45.163 align:center
But at the time,
I didn't even think about it.

00:27:46.414 --> 00:27:48.083 align:center
I tried to cut him off but couldn't.

00:27:48.166 --> 00:27:51.503 align:center
He dribbled past Sergio Ramos
and got face to face with Iker.

00:27:51.586 --> 00:27:53.588 align:center
I tried to stop him, but he was too far.

00:27:53.672 --> 00:27:56.216 align:center
He knew exactly where to put the ball.

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:59.469 align:center
Roberto would still be slipping.

00:28:01.012 --> 00:28:04.307 align:center
I liked scoring and I liked dribbling.
I enjoyed both.

00:28:04.391 --> 00:28:07.977 align:center
But my objective was always
to dribble to create a goal,

00:28:08.061 --> 00:28:10.438 align:center
or to provide the assist that led to one.

00:28:10.522 --> 00:28:13.858 align:center
Ronaldinho is completely on his own.

00:28:13.942 --> 00:28:17.070 align:center
And then he would take off
from one side to the other at full speed.

00:28:17.153 --> 00:28:18.405 align:center
He was practically unstoppable.

00:28:18.988 --> 00:28:21.116 align:center
Ronaldinho breaks through the defense.

00:28:21.199 --> 00:28:23.702 align:center
Ronaldinho. Goal!

00:28:24.327 --> 00:28:30.417 align:center
He does it again! Ronaldinho,
Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho Gaúcho!

00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:32.836 align:center
Even Madrid fans
are celebrating Barça's goal!

00:28:32.919 --> 00:28:35.797 align:center
Well deserved, they're a better team.
So much better.

00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:40.552 align:center
I was looking around,
and Real Madrid fans were like…

00:28:41.094 --> 00:28:44.347 align:center
It's the famous image
of that man with the mustache

00:28:44.431 --> 00:28:47.267 align:center
who got up
and started applauding Ronaldinho.

00:28:48.268 --> 00:28:51.104 align:center
The Bernabéu is applauding Ronaldinho!

00:28:51.187 --> 00:28:53.064 align:center
This has never happened before,

00:28:53.148 --> 00:28:55.233 align:center
and it's because of Ronaldinho!

00:28:55.316 --> 00:28:57.777 align:center
The Bernabéu is applauding the best!

00:28:59.195 --> 00:29:01.906 align:center
He put on a show
with an incredible performance

00:29:01.990 --> 00:29:06.786 align:center
that I was able to witness
from the field with great sadness.

00:29:07.370 --> 00:29:08.788 align:center
What made me the happiest

00:29:08.872 --> 00:29:12.167 align:center
was the 80,000 people standing
and applauding him.

00:29:12.250 --> 00:29:15.086 align:center
They got to see what Brazilian player is.

00:29:15.170 --> 00:29:17.797 align:center
At the time of the game,
I didn't even realize it.

00:29:17.881 --> 00:29:21.176 align:center
Especially because
I was playing an away game

00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:25.930 align:center
and the stadium was full of opposing fans,
so I didn't even think about it.

00:29:27.474 --> 00:29:29.559 align:center
The next day,
they started talking about it,

00:29:29.642 --> 00:29:32.187 align:center
"Even the Madrid fans were applauding."

00:29:32.270 --> 00:29:34.856 align:center
Then I checked the TV, I saw…

00:29:34.939 --> 00:29:37.692 align:center
the comments, but not during the game.

00:29:39.152 --> 00:29:42.655 align:center
With Ronnie, we were not only better,
we were also loved.

00:29:44.949 --> 00:29:48.828 align:center
Very few players have the chance
to experience something like this

00:29:48.912 --> 00:29:50.079 align:center
in their career.

00:29:50.163 --> 00:29:52.499 align:center
So it's a moment I'll never forget.

00:29:52.999 --> 00:29:55.168 align:center
I played a hundred games for Barcelona,

00:29:55.251 --> 00:29:58.463 align:center
but this is the game
I can show my grandchildren and say,

00:29:58.546 --> 00:29:59.631 align:center
"I played in the game

00:29:59.714 --> 00:30:04.219 align:center
where Ronaldinho put on a show so good
that even the Madrid fans cheered."

00:30:15.188 --> 00:30:17.482 align:center
-Ronaldinho!
-Ronaldinho!

00:30:18.608 --> 00:30:20.777 align:center
-Ronaldinho!
-Deco!

00:30:23.488 --> 00:30:25.657 align:center
Ronaldinho is one of a kind.

00:30:27.575 --> 00:30:30.203 align:center
It's been ages
since we've had such a good player.

00:30:32.997 --> 00:30:36.751 align:center
He's creative.
His moves, his passes, his goals.

00:30:43.007 --> 00:30:45.426 align:center
I think he's the greatest of all time.

00:30:45.969 --> 00:30:47.971 align:center
Ronnie!

00:30:50.306 --> 00:30:52.725 align:center
We had a lot of talent,
we won, and that was all great.

00:30:52.809 --> 00:30:54.686 align:center
But most of all, we had fun.

00:30:57.897 --> 00:31:03.069 align:center
When we celebrated a victory or a title,
they would invite me to the celebration.

00:31:03.653 --> 00:31:06.614 align:center
And that's where I saw
a more human side to each player.

00:31:06.698 --> 00:31:10.368 align:center
When everybody was letting loose
away from the soccer field.

00:31:13.705 --> 00:31:17.333 align:center
Soccer is joy, soccer is music.
You have to enjoy it on and off the field.

00:31:17.417 --> 00:31:19.794 align:center
It's the Brazilian way of life.

00:31:20.378 --> 00:31:22.505 align:center
When you become a pro soccer player

00:31:22.589 --> 00:31:24.465 align:center
you wanna take advantage
of what you missed out on

00:31:24.549 --> 00:31:26.384 align:center
And going out at night is part of that.

00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:30.179 align:center
We went out a lot.

00:31:30.263 --> 00:31:33.057 align:center
My place, his place. It was chaotic.

00:31:33.141 --> 00:31:35.351 align:center
I'm not gonna talk about that.

00:31:39.355 --> 00:31:41.399 align:center
But we didn't just go to clubs.

00:31:41.482 --> 00:31:44.402 align:center
We threw a lot of parties.
Good parties, private ones.

00:31:44.485 --> 00:31:48.031 align:center
We would rent out
an entire club for 600 guests.

00:31:48.114 --> 00:31:49.824 align:center
The parties were good, they were good.

00:31:49.908 --> 00:31:51.326 align:center
The best.

00:31:56.706 --> 00:31:59.834 align:center
When I was playing soccer,
people would always say,

00:31:59.918 --> 00:32:02.295 align:center
"You're always singing
because you're always going out."

00:32:02.378 --> 00:32:03.630 align:center
And when I didn't play well,

00:32:03.713 --> 00:32:06.758 align:center
they would say, "Of course,
he's always out at night,

00:32:06.841 --> 00:32:08.301 align:center
always making music."

00:32:09.302 --> 00:32:12.764 align:center
I never stopped living my life
and doing what I love, because

00:32:13.348 --> 00:32:15.767 align:center
what I loved the most was playing soccer,

00:32:15.850 --> 00:32:17.685 align:center
so I was always happy.

00:32:17.769 --> 00:32:20.980 align:center
And to play soccer happily,
I always need music.

00:32:21.064 --> 00:32:25.276 align:center
So my two passions have always
gone hand in hand my whole life.

00:32:30.573 --> 00:32:32.241 align:center
Barça wins the League.

00:32:32.325 --> 00:32:34.452 align:center
Barça is having a great moment.

00:32:34.535 --> 00:32:39.040 align:center
Ronaldinho and Maxi,
inseparable when it comes to celebrating.

00:32:39.123 --> 00:32:41.125 align:center
Always in the first row.

00:32:43.127 --> 00:32:45.213 align:center
Throw your hands up in the air

00:32:45.296 --> 00:32:47.882 align:center
IN THREE WEEKS, BARCELONA DECIDES
EVERYTHING IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

00:32:47.966 --> 00:32:51.552 align:center
What would you do
if Barça won the Champions League?

00:32:53.262 --> 00:32:56.224 align:center
Throw a big party.
A party that lasts an entire week.

00:32:56.307 --> 00:32:57.684 align:center
For sure.

00:32:57.767 --> 00:32:59.936 align:center
-Call me, okay?
-Yeah.

00:33:00.019 --> 00:33:01.145 align:center
You bet.

00:33:04.691 --> 00:33:06.734 align:center
The team was built, step by step,

00:33:06.818 --> 00:33:10.738 align:center
until we had a strong team
for the Champions League.

00:33:10.822 --> 00:33:12.448 align:center
Ronaldinho, and it's a goal!

00:33:13.241 --> 00:33:15.910 align:center
That team was incredible,
we played very well.

00:33:15.994 --> 00:33:19.747 align:center
It was Eto'o, Ronaldinho,
Deco, Xavi, Iniesta.

00:33:19.831 --> 00:33:22.333 align:center
The year before, we'd played very well
in the Champions League

00:33:22.417 --> 00:33:25.545 align:center
but were eliminated
in a controversial play against Chelsea.

00:33:25.628 --> 00:33:28.005 align:center
We came back much stronger the next year.

00:33:28.089 --> 00:33:30.425 align:center
And we got to play against Chelsea again.

00:33:30.508 --> 00:33:32.802 align:center
So it was… a rematch.

00:33:33.386 --> 00:33:37.223 align:center
Here are the main characters
of the match, FC Barcelona versus Chelsea.

00:33:37.306 --> 00:33:38.641 align:center
Ronaldinho takes the free kick!

00:33:38.725 --> 00:33:40.768 align:center
Goal! Goal! Goal!

00:33:42.145 --> 00:33:45.732 align:center
I got injured in the round of 16,
and then I couldn't play anymore.

00:33:45.815 --> 00:33:49.610 align:center
Ronaldinho attacks,
he keeps going and he scores!

00:33:49.694 --> 00:33:52.196 align:center
Ronaldinho! It's over!

00:33:52.280 --> 00:33:56.284 align:center
Ronaldinho is the star of the game.

00:33:57.452 --> 00:33:58.828 align:center
The semifinal against Milan.

00:33:58.911 --> 00:34:01.039 align:center
One of the greatest Milan teams
of all time.

00:34:01.122 --> 00:34:03.041 align:center
That's when Ronaldinho Gaúcho killed it.

00:34:03.124 --> 00:34:07.587 align:center
Ronaldinho faces Gattuso,
he fakes him out. Gattuso blocks him.

00:34:07.670 --> 00:34:09.756 align:center
What a perfect pass to Giuly!

00:34:09.839 --> 00:34:15.011 align:center
Goal! Ronaldinho makes an impossible shot!

00:34:15.094 --> 00:34:17.597 align:center
He was the decisive,
inspired, and creative player

00:34:17.680 --> 00:34:19.140 align:center
who took us to the final.

00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:27.982 align:center
The Champions League final was in Paris.

00:34:28.065 --> 00:34:32.820 align:center
It was wonderful to go back to Paris
to play the Champions League final.

00:34:32.904 --> 00:34:36.949 align:center
My friends who I had left in Paris
all went to the stadium

00:34:37.033 --> 00:34:38.367 align:center
to watch the game.

00:34:41.370 --> 00:34:43.164 align:center
It was a very important game for us

00:34:43.247 --> 00:34:46.918 align:center
because it had been 14 years
since Barça had won a Champions League.

00:34:47.001 --> 00:34:51.589 align:center
We wanted to leave this legacy
for the club.

00:34:52.089 --> 00:34:54.008 align:center
I remember Arsenal also had a great team.

00:34:55.676 --> 00:34:58.721 align:center
That was a difficult day
because we were going to face Barcelona,

00:34:58.805 --> 00:35:00.348 align:center
which was the team of the moment.

00:35:01.015 --> 00:35:04.685 align:center
Barça was the superior team.
They had to show it from the beginning.

00:35:04.769 --> 00:35:06.354 align:center
But they came in doubtful,

00:35:06.437 --> 00:35:08.981 align:center
because there were players
who had never won

00:35:09.065 --> 00:35:11.109 align:center
a Champions League final before.

00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:16.322 align:center
That final game started
with a few unexpected problems.

00:35:16.405 --> 00:35:19.951 align:center
He passes to Ronaldinho,
Ronaldinho tries to change the pace.

00:35:20.034 --> 00:35:25.456 align:center
He speeds up. Danger, danger.
Come on, come on, goal!

00:35:25.540 --> 00:35:28.376 align:center
The referee calls a foul,
I can't believe it!

00:35:28.459 --> 00:35:32.213 align:center
Giuly scored,
but the goalie had hit Eto'o just before,

00:35:32.296 --> 00:35:35.007 align:center
so he gets a red card
and Arsenal loses a man.

00:35:35.091 --> 00:35:37.218 align:center
I can't believe it.

00:35:37.301 --> 00:35:40.471 align:center
He's called a foul.
He just disallowed the goal.

00:35:41.848 --> 00:35:44.183 align:center
We ended up with one extra player.

00:35:44.267 --> 00:35:46.769 align:center
Let's see if there's justice in soccer.

00:35:46.853 --> 00:35:51.440 align:center
Ronaldinho is about to hit the ball
at Almunia's goal to make it 1-0,

00:35:51.524 --> 00:35:55.153 align:center
a result that Barcelona
so clearly deserves.

00:35:55.236 --> 00:35:58.156 align:center
Ronaldinho felt the… the responsibility.

00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.284 align:center
I remember he looked like
he was holding his breath.

00:36:01.367 --> 00:36:04.996 align:center
Ronaldinho kicks the ball.
Ronaldinho. Damn it!

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:06.289 align:center
It almost went in!

00:36:07.331 --> 00:36:10.084 align:center
We weren't playing our best game.

00:36:10.168 --> 00:36:12.086 align:center
And then they score with a header.

00:36:12.587 --> 00:36:15.631 align:center
Goal! It's over.

00:36:15.715 --> 00:36:19.302 align:center
Ronaldinho was important,
he was the heart and soul of the team,

00:36:19.385 --> 00:36:21.429 align:center
but they needed more than that to win.

00:36:21.512 --> 00:36:24.640 align:center
Samuel Eto'o gets the ball,
Eto'o passes to Iniesta.

00:36:24.724 --> 00:36:26.976 align:center
Deco tries to shoot and he does it!

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:31.147 align:center
Eto'o, Eto'o, Eto'o, goal!

00:36:31.230 --> 00:36:33.816 align:center
We felt that there was no way
we weren't gonna win.

00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:36.819 align:center
Let's go, Belletti runs after it.

00:36:36.903 --> 00:36:38.070 align:center
It started pouring.

00:36:39.989 --> 00:36:43.826 align:center
I think the rain came just
to make the game a little more exciting.

00:36:43.910 --> 00:36:45.620 align:center
And here comes Larsson.

00:36:45.703 --> 00:36:49.373 align:center
Larsson gets it,
rolls it to Juliano, and Juliano scores.

00:36:49.457 --> 00:36:51.167 align:center
He just…

00:36:58.216 --> 00:36:59.508 align:center
It was spectacular.

00:36:59.592 --> 00:37:03.763 align:center
Juliano, what a ball.
He just sent it. Belletti, Belletti, goal!

00:37:03.846 --> 00:37:09.227 align:center
Barcelona!
Barça just scored 2-1! What a crazy move!

00:37:09.310 --> 00:37:11.187 align:center
Barça now takes the lead!

00:37:11.270 --> 00:37:16.025 align:center
Arsenal had gone ten games
without conceding a single goal!

00:37:16.108 --> 00:37:18.903 align:center
Belletti just scored the second one.

00:37:19.487 --> 00:37:23.157 align:center
I don't think Belletti had even
scored a goal at Barcelona yet.

00:37:23.241 --> 00:37:25.701 align:center
He ended up hitting the shot.
It was amazing.

00:37:26.285 --> 00:37:28.162 align:center
I fell down after kicking the ball.

00:37:28.246 --> 00:37:29.997 align:center
And I could see it going into the goal.

00:37:30.623 --> 00:37:33.042 align:center
You don't get to be a soccer champion

00:37:33.542 --> 00:37:35.503 align:center
when a player only thinks about himself.

00:37:35.586 --> 00:37:38.756 align:center
And in that celebration,
you could see that we're a team.

00:37:39.715 --> 00:37:43.678 align:center
The game is over!
Barça is the European champion!

00:37:43.761 --> 00:37:46.722 align:center
FC Barcelona is the Champion!

00:37:48.516 --> 00:37:50.059 align:center
It was a very complete team

00:37:50.142 --> 00:37:52.561 align:center
and it deserved
to win the Champions League.

00:37:52.645 --> 00:37:55.189 align:center
What a year for Barça and for this man!

00:37:56.190 --> 00:38:00.236 align:center
It had been many years since
Barcelona had won the championship, so…

00:38:00.736 --> 00:38:04.156 align:center
it was a dream come true.

00:38:04.824 --> 00:38:07.618 align:center
Barcelona is the European champion!

00:38:19.338 --> 00:38:22.758 align:center
We know that we're making history
for the club, and that's the best part.

00:38:31.809 --> 00:38:35.354 align:center
Ronaldinho may be
the fourth Brazilian playing for Barcelona

00:38:35.438 --> 00:38:36.981 align:center
to win the Ballon d'Or.

00:38:37.064 --> 00:38:40.234 align:center
When we get the Ballon d'Or,
we already know we're going to win.

00:38:40.317 --> 00:38:44.322 align:center
It's not like
the FIFA World Player of the Year award.

00:38:44.405 --> 00:38:45.364 align:center
It's different.

00:38:45.448 --> 00:38:47.658 align:center
You get tense wondering
if you're going to win or not.

00:38:48.826 --> 00:38:50.161 align:center
With the Ballon d'Or,

00:38:50.244 --> 00:38:53.539 align:center
you're relaxed because
you already know you've won, so…

00:38:54.248 --> 00:38:55.416 align:center
there's no stress at all.

00:38:58.294 --> 00:38:59.253 align:center
PARIS
FRANCE

00:39:01.297 --> 00:39:02.882 align:center
50 YEARS OF BALLON D'OR

00:39:04.050 --> 00:39:05.760 align:center
Ronaldinho!

00:39:09.472 --> 00:39:12.725 align:center
This award isn't only mine,
it's also for all my teammates.

00:39:12.808 --> 00:39:15.519 align:center
I dedicate it to the entire Barça family

00:39:15.603 --> 00:39:17.021 align:center
and all the Brazilians.

00:39:18.814 --> 00:39:23.569 align:center
I was shocked when I saw my mother
giving me the trophy on the field.

00:39:23.652 --> 00:39:25.154 align:center
I didn't expect that.

00:39:25.237 --> 00:39:27.948 align:center
It was a wonderful surprise.

00:39:28.783 --> 00:39:34.497 align:center
The person I love the most
handing me the most important trophy.

00:39:44.256 --> 00:39:46.675 align:center
Ronaldinho is down-to-earth.

00:39:46.759 --> 00:39:49.804 align:center
That's why he's an example.
An example to be followed.

00:39:49.887 --> 00:39:51.263 align:center
Where does that come from?

00:39:52.098 --> 00:39:54.392 align:center
I don't know where it comes from.

00:39:55.351 --> 00:39:58.104 align:center
What I can say is
that we always taught him

00:39:58.187 --> 00:40:00.606 align:center
that life is about moments,

00:40:00.689 --> 00:40:03.651 align:center
and that he should always
keep his feet on the ground.

00:40:04.610 --> 00:40:06.320 align:center
People will always be around,

00:40:06.404 --> 00:40:09.365 align:center
and we shouldn't think
we're better than anyone else.

00:40:09.448 --> 00:40:11.325 align:center
So you have to stay grounded.

00:40:11.409 --> 00:40:12.952 align:center
[music continues

00:40:13.035 --> 00:40:16.288 align:center
My mom is my best friend, my buddy.

00:40:17.081 --> 00:40:20.000 align:center
My mom was friends with my friends. So…

00:40:21.127 --> 00:40:21.961 align:center
It's different.

00:40:22.044 --> 00:40:25.506 align:center
Usually, when a friend's mom shows up,
everyone like…

00:40:25.589 --> 00:40:27.591 align:center
At my house, it was the opposite.

00:40:27.675 --> 00:40:31.512 align:center
My friends, even if I wasn't home,
they would go visit my mom.

00:40:31.595 --> 00:40:36.142 align:center
So my mom was always a friend,
besides being a mom.

00:40:36.225 --> 00:40:38.853 align:center
My mom was the best.

00:40:50.531 --> 00:40:54.577 align:center
This is the first time
Ronaldinho Gaúcho is playing a World Cup

00:40:54.660 --> 00:40:56.871 align:center
with the title
of best player in the world.

00:40:56.954 --> 00:41:01.375 align:center
He knows the world expects of him
something that only geniuses can offer.

00:41:02.168 --> 00:41:06.630 align:center
I think Ronaldinho was the player
who stood out most during the last year.

00:41:07.715 --> 00:41:10.092 align:center
He'd won the Ballon d'Or,
he'd won everything,

00:41:10.176 --> 00:41:12.761 align:center
and he had an incredible future ahead.

00:41:13.262 --> 00:41:16.223 align:center
The group in 2006 was better than the '02.

00:41:16.307 --> 00:41:20.769 align:center
Ronaldinho Gaúcho, with Kaká,
Ronaldo, Adriano, it was a magic combo.

00:41:20.853 --> 00:41:24.231 align:center
And others, like Roberto Carlos, Cafu.

00:41:24.315 --> 00:41:27.109 align:center
And not to mention
the others players as well.

00:41:27.193 --> 00:41:30.529 align:center
Everybody on that team
was really top notch.

00:41:31.530 --> 00:41:34.533 align:center
I remember after a training session ended,

00:41:34.617 --> 00:41:37.912 align:center
I was there to watch
and record my commentary.

00:41:38.412 --> 00:41:39.330 align:center
I called him over.

00:41:39.914 --> 00:41:42.416 align:center
Grabbed him by the shoulders and said,

00:41:42.500 --> 00:41:46.837 align:center
"Do you really understand
what you mean in this World Cup?"

00:41:49.089 --> 00:41:51.717 align:center
He looked at me
with that look of his, like,

00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:54.094 align:center
"What's this guy going to say?"

00:41:54.178 --> 00:41:56.430 align:center
And I said, "This World Cup is yours."

00:41:57.014 --> 00:41:58.474 align:center
He was a bit taken aback.

00:42:00.059 --> 00:42:04.063 align:center
In any competition,
everyone expects Brazil to win.

00:42:04.647 --> 00:42:06.357 align:center
Especially when it comes to soccer.

00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:09.235 align:center
If you're there,
you have to be prepared for that.

00:42:09.985 --> 00:42:13.948 align:center
Brazil had never been
so heavily favored in a World Cup,

00:42:14.031 --> 00:42:18.327 align:center
and never had things gone
so wrong as they ultimately did.

00:42:18.410 --> 00:42:19.787 align:center
BRAZIL VS FRANCE

00:42:19.912 --> 00:42:21.872 align:center
The ball is sent into the box…

00:42:21.956 --> 00:42:24.750 align:center
Goal!

00:42:24.833 --> 00:42:27.127 align:center
Well… It was a free kick,

00:42:27.211 --> 00:42:28.337 align:center
we couldn't defend that ball,

00:42:28.420 --> 00:42:30.714 align:center
so we hesitated,
and Henry ended up scoring.

00:42:31.257 --> 00:42:36.470 align:center
After the goal, there were several fouls
near the box taken by Ronaldinho and me.

00:42:36.554 --> 00:42:39.515 align:center
Crosses blocked by Barthez,
France's goalkeeper.

00:42:39.598 --> 00:42:43.060 align:center
He gets it into the box,
Robinho has a shot, but misses it!

00:42:43.143 --> 00:42:44.520 align:center
Zé Roberto approaches.

00:42:44.603 --> 00:42:47.439 align:center
Ronaldinho breaks through
and sends it wide.

00:42:47.940 --> 00:42:49.984 align:center
Fifth shot, the fifth off target.

00:42:50.734 --> 00:42:52.361 align:center
It's the final whistle in Frankfurt.

00:42:52.444 --> 00:42:56.323 align:center
France 1… Brazil 0.

00:43:00.578 --> 00:43:03.038 align:center
The dream of a sixth title
is over for Brazil.

00:43:03.122 --> 00:43:05.416 align:center
The Brazilian team is heading home.

00:43:05.499 --> 00:43:07.209 align:center
We should've at least
made it to the final.

00:43:07.293 --> 00:43:10.379 align:center
I'm so sad the team didn't come
to play the World Cup today.

00:43:10.462 --> 00:43:13.924 align:center
The team confused
self-esteem with arrogance.

00:43:14.008 --> 00:43:16.093 align:center
Why wasn't this Ronaldinho's World Cup,

00:43:16.677 --> 00:43:19.054 align:center
as you expected and,
I think, everyone expected?

00:43:19.138 --> 00:43:21.974 align:center
There were huge expectations
around the team,

00:43:22.057 --> 00:43:24.602 align:center
that they had to win and play beautifully.

00:43:24.685 --> 00:43:26.812 align:center
just winning wasn't enough.

00:43:28.188 --> 00:43:30.941 align:center
There were protests
from fans who were unhappy

00:43:31.025 --> 00:43:34.820 align:center
with the defeat against France
and the elimination in the quarterfinals.

00:43:34.903 --> 00:43:38.449 align:center
Ronaldinho Gaúcho's statue
was burned last night.

00:43:38.532 --> 00:43:41.869 align:center
The monument was almost 8 meters tall

00:43:41.952 --> 00:43:44.788 align:center
and had been built especially
for the World Cup.

00:43:45.914 --> 00:43:49.209 align:center
Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

00:43:49.710 --> 00:43:51.420 align:center
But that's soccer.

00:43:58.093 --> 00:43:59.595 align:center
1 MONTH LATER

00:44:01.555 --> 00:44:03.307 align:center
Tonight’s top sports story.

00:44:03.390 --> 00:44:07.728 align:center
Delays involving Brazilian players
from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

00:44:07.811 --> 00:44:10.481 align:center
And what's worse,
troubling news from Brazil.

00:44:10.564 --> 00:44:13.525 align:center
Ronaldinho arrived in Barcelona a day late

00:44:13.609 --> 00:44:15.986 align:center
and didn't know
if Rijkaard was counting him in.

00:44:16.070 --> 00:44:19.406 align:center
When I get there,
I'll talk to the coach and he'll decide.

00:44:20.908 --> 00:44:23.410 align:center
Monaco hosts the Super Cup final.

00:44:23.494 --> 00:44:25.829 align:center
And for the first time ever,

00:44:25.913 --> 00:44:29.208 align:center
two Spanish teams
are fighting for this title.

00:44:29.917 --> 00:44:32.503 align:center
Víctor Valdez blocks the ball, goal!

00:44:32.586 --> 00:44:33.545 align:center
Goal!

00:44:33.629 --> 00:44:35.506 align:center
Ronaldinho is going to take the shot.

00:44:35.589 --> 00:44:38.842 align:center
Let's see Ronaldinho.
He kicks it but it's no good.

00:44:38.926 --> 00:44:40.678 align:center
Víctor Valdez stops it but it's a goal!

00:44:41.261 --> 00:44:42.513 align:center
Goal! Goal!

00:44:42.596 --> 00:44:43.472 align:center
Come on, Ronaldinho.

00:44:44.973 --> 00:44:46.975 align:center
And the shot…Goal! Goal!

00:44:47.059 --> 00:44:49.478 align:center
Sevilla will win the European Supercup.

00:44:49.561 --> 00:44:52.523 align:center
Unthinkable for this club, unthinkable!

00:44:53.273 --> 00:44:58.404 align:center
After winning titles came moments
where we didn't see any results.

00:44:58.487 --> 00:45:00.280 align:center
They were difficult times.

00:45:00.864 --> 00:45:03.617 align:center
There were, uh… very hard defeats.

00:45:04.201 --> 00:45:07.955 align:center
Ronaldinho, Xavi. Ronaldinho. Vieira.

00:45:08.038 --> 00:45:10.249 align:center
Ronaldinho is ready to score,

00:45:10.332 --> 00:45:12.251 align:center
but that might not be enough.

00:45:12.334 --> 00:45:13.877 align:center
He might not make it.

00:45:13.961 --> 00:45:16.839 align:center
I'm doing my job trying to help the team

00:45:16.922 --> 00:45:18.757 align:center
and doing my best in the match.

00:45:18.841 --> 00:45:21.051 align:center
Ronaldinho hits the post!

00:45:21.135 --> 00:45:22.970 align:center
It's not Barça's day today!

00:45:23.470 --> 00:45:26.890 align:center
We lost the league
at home in a draw against Betis,

00:45:26.974 --> 00:45:29.226 align:center
and then against Espanyol,

00:45:29.309 --> 00:45:32.146 align:center
which was also a last-minute draw.

00:45:32.229 --> 00:45:34.189 align:center
These moments were… tough.

00:45:36.817 --> 00:45:39.611 align:center
Madrid is the Spanish League champion.

00:45:40.195 --> 00:45:42.531 align:center
We weren't champions, and as always,

00:45:42.614 --> 00:45:43.949 align:center
when you're not a champion,

00:45:44.032 --> 00:45:46.034 align:center
there are criticisms and complaints.

00:45:46.118 --> 00:45:49.455 align:center
You're an embarrassment!
Shameless bastards!

00:45:49.538 --> 00:45:52.583 align:center
With all the money you make!
You're useless!

00:45:55.669 --> 00:45:57.546 align:center
You should be working a 9 to 5!

00:45:58.130 --> 00:45:59.798 align:center
-Stop partying!
-Low lives!

00:45:59.882 --> 00:46:01.383 align:center
Stop going to nightclubs!

00:46:01.467 --> 00:46:03.260 align:center
And that's part of the pressure.

00:46:03.343 --> 00:46:05.512 align:center
When you don't do well,
you suffer a little.

00:46:06.013 --> 00:46:07.014 align:center
It's part of it.

00:46:07.097 --> 00:46:09.683 align:center
We haven't seen Ronaldinho,
the Barcelona player,

00:46:09.767 --> 00:46:13.020 align:center
who hasn't showed up
to train for a whole week now.

00:46:13.103 --> 00:46:15.272 align:center
And there's nothing new about that.

00:46:15.355 --> 00:46:18.692 align:center
When you make it
to the top and you succeed, well,

00:46:18.776 --> 00:46:22.529 align:center
people become obsessed
with tearing you down.

00:46:23.697 --> 00:46:26.325 align:center
And since his youth,
Ronnie has had it all.

00:46:26.408 --> 00:46:28.452 align:center
He was used to being a loved, fun guy.

00:46:28.535 --> 00:46:33.916 align:center
And he suffered heavy attacks
from the media, and intense scrutiny.

00:46:37.044 --> 00:46:40.506 align:center
Who will be crowned king of 2006?

00:46:41.006 --> 00:46:43.342 align:center
He won the first, he won the second,

00:46:43.842 --> 00:46:46.553 align:center
and he didn't win the third
'cause we lost the World Cup.

00:46:47.137 --> 00:46:49.431 align:center
Fabio Cannavaro!

00:46:49.515 --> 00:46:51.099 align:center
I didn't think it was fair.

00:46:51.183 --> 00:46:54.186 align:center
I think the best player of the World Cup
should be one player,

00:46:54.269 --> 00:46:56.772 align:center
and the best player of the year, another.

00:46:57.356 --> 00:46:59.691 align:center
Usually, the player
who stands out at the World Cup

00:46:59.775 --> 00:47:03.028 align:center
is the one who ends up competing
to be the best in the world.

00:47:03.570 --> 00:47:05.364 align:center
I never thought that was fair.

00:47:05.447 --> 00:47:08.450 align:center
The player who stands out the most
throughout the entire year

00:47:08.534 --> 00:47:10.953 align:center
should be named the best of the year.

00:47:11.036 --> 00:47:13.121 align:center
While the one
who stands out in the World Cup

00:47:13.205 --> 00:47:16.208 align:center
should be named
the best of that competition.

00:47:16.875 --> 00:47:20.045 align:center
But you have to respect it.

00:47:20.128 --> 00:47:22.631 align:center
Rather than remain
the world’s best soccer player,

00:47:22.714 --> 00:47:26.093 align:center
Ronaldinho chooses to be
the world's biggest party boy.

00:47:26.176 --> 00:47:28.095 align:center
-He parties a lot.
-That's a shame.

00:47:28.178 --> 00:47:29.930 align:center
We'll have to let him go.

00:47:30.013 --> 00:47:33.141 align:center
And then they started
saying all this nonsense,

00:47:33.225 --> 00:47:38.063 align:center
things like, "Oh, when he was winning,
he was the best. And now he's not."

00:47:38.564 --> 00:47:41.775 align:center
The easy thing to do
would be to blame everything

00:47:41.859 --> 00:47:43.193 align:center
on the man who didn't hide.

00:47:43.277 --> 00:47:46.947 align:center
"And be careful, if Ronaldinho goes out,
he'll take Messi with him."

00:47:47.030 --> 00:47:49.575 align:center
We hadn't heard
from Ronaldinho for a while,

00:47:49.658 --> 00:47:51.743 align:center
and today he's all over the news.

00:47:51.827 --> 00:47:55.914 align:center
Reports say he went to a dinner at 10 p.m.
and was out until 5:00 in the morning.

00:47:55.998 --> 00:47:58.000 align:center
That's a lie.

00:47:58.875 --> 00:48:02.879 align:center
The recurrent substitutions
and Ronaldinho's famous night outings

00:48:02.963 --> 00:48:05.090 align:center
put him in the eye of the storm.

00:48:06.216 --> 00:48:12.097 align:center
It's not my job to control
what the players do with their…

00:48:12.931 --> 00:48:14.433 align:center
personal lives.

00:48:14.516 --> 00:48:17.978 align:center
Son of a bitch!

00:48:18.061 --> 00:48:22.107 align:center
I felt like I owed everyone a lot,
but especially him,

00:48:22.649 --> 00:48:24.610 align:center
for all he'd done for me.

00:48:25.110 --> 00:48:27.362 align:center
And to see him going through that,

00:48:27.446 --> 00:48:28.488 align:center
it hurt.

00:48:28.572 --> 00:48:30.157 align:center
But I was also very young,

00:48:30.240 --> 00:48:33.368 align:center
and there were things
that went over my head.

00:48:33.452 --> 00:48:36.663 align:center
When the team doesn't do well,
some may take it out on him.

00:48:36.747 --> 00:48:39.416 align:center
When he scores,
he's the best in the world.

00:48:40.083 --> 00:48:42.586 align:center
For a long time,
Barça stood up for Ronaldinho,

00:48:42.669 --> 00:48:45.422 align:center
even though his private life
was undermining his performance.

00:48:46.048 --> 00:48:48.342 align:center
Worst of all,
the player won't listen to anyone,

00:48:48.425 --> 00:48:50.802 align:center
at the cost of his prestige.

00:48:51.303 --> 00:48:52.721 align:center
When we started losing,

00:48:52.804 --> 00:48:56.350 align:center
the press started looking
for every possible explanation.

00:48:56.850 --> 00:49:01.438 align:center
And honestly,
it's easier to blame it on that.

00:49:02.648 --> 00:49:05.901 align:center
All soccer players
have their lives. It's normal.

00:49:05.984 --> 00:49:09.112 align:center
But you have to know the limits.

00:49:10.572 --> 00:49:13.200 align:center
If you win, you can have fun.

00:49:13.283 --> 00:49:16.703 align:center
If you lose… you can't.

00:49:16.787 --> 00:49:21.917 align:center
You better stay quiet
because you have no reason to celebrate.

00:49:22.918 --> 00:49:24.336 align:center
How can you celebrate defeat?

00:49:24.419 --> 00:49:27.047 align:center
Never! That's not part of…

00:49:27.631 --> 00:49:29.424 align:center
a winner's life.

00:49:30.008 --> 00:49:31.176 align:center
Uh…

00:49:32.177 --> 00:49:35.097 align:center
That's what my brother taught me.

00:49:35.889 --> 00:49:38.475 align:center
No matter how much
he wants to go out at night,

00:49:38.558 --> 00:49:41.103 align:center
a soccer player
has to go to training camp.

00:49:41.603 --> 00:49:43.981 align:center
They have games two or three times a week.

00:49:44.064 --> 00:49:47.859 align:center
The guy isn't free to go out all the time,
that's what I'm trying to tell you.

00:49:47.943 --> 00:49:51.905 align:center
So you can't say they go out every night.
But everyone does, don't you?

00:49:55.534 --> 00:49:58.412 align:center
The first year of his decline, uh,

00:49:58.495 --> 00:50:02.290 align:center
I told Ronnie that
everyone was asking me to end it,

00:50:02.374 --> 00:50:05.168 align:center
but that I thought Barça owed him…

00:50:06.253 --> 00:50:07.129 align:center
everything.

00:50:07.754 --> 00:50:11.049 align:center
He said, "I just need one more year
and I'll be number one again."

00:50:11.133 --> 00:50:13.635 align:center
Well, that year he got injured.

00:50:14.136 --> 00:50:16.471 align:center
He can't be injured. It's a mental thing.

00:50:16.555 --> 00:50:21.101 align:center
I'll never forget.
He had some abductor pain, an injury.

00:50:21.184 --> 00:50:25.105 align:center
People said he was lying,
so he wouldn't have to train or play.

00:50:25.605 --> 00:50:30.736 align:center
And he trained even though he was in pain.
and ended up tearing his abductor.

00:50:30.819 --> 00:50:35.115 align:center
He knew it could happen,
but he did it to prove he wasn't lying.

00:50:35.198 --> 00:50:37.200 align:center
Those were difficult times.

00:50:37.701 --> 00:50:40.245 align:center
We could see that Ronnie wasn't happy.

00:50:40.829 --> 00:50:43.373 align:center
I don't know if it was
because of the news in the press,

00:50:43.457 --> 00:50:45.834 align:center
I don't know if it was something personal.

00:50:45.917 --> 00:50:48.045 align:center
I think he was upset.

00:50:50.213 --> 00:50:52.799 align:center
I saw him suffer and it wasn't fair,

00:50:52.883 --> 00:50:57.804 align:center
because he was the reason
Barcelona rose to the top again.

00:50:58.555 --> 00:51:02.100 align:center
Keep Ronaldinho.
Don't do the same thing you did with…

00:51:02.601 --> 00:51:03.769 align:center
yours truly…

00:51:05.645 --> 00:51:09.024 align:center
And with Rivaldo, and with Ronaldo,

00:51:09.107 --> 00:51:13.278 align:center
Romário, Figo, and so many other players

00:51:13.361 --> 00:51:17.449 align:center
that Barcelona let go of, out of jealousy.

00:51:17.949 --> 00:51:20.577 align:center
Because the ones who lose are the fans.

00:51:22.120 --> 00:51:26.333 align:center
Finally, the day came,
one the saddest days of my life.

00:51:26.416 --> 00:51:28.335 align:center
The saddest thing for a president

00:51:28.418 --> 00:51:31.963 align:center
is to tell a person
who's given you everything

00:51:32.047 --> 00:51:33.256 align:center
that it's over.

00:51:33.340 --> 00:51:36.093 align:center
I told Ronnie, "This can't go on."

00:51:36.593 --> 00:51:41.056 align:center
The three of us broke down crying.
Deisi, him, and me.

00:51:41.139 --> 00:51:42.641 align:center
That was the end.

00:51:43.475 --> 00:51:46.728 align:center
We talked and decided
to move on to another stage.

00:51:47.312 --> 00:51:50.065 align:center
Ronaldinho is always very competitive,

00:51:50.649 --> 00:51:53.276 align:center
but he really didn't have
that same joy that…

00:51:53.777 --> 00:51:55.904 align:center
he used to have in earlier times.

00:51:56.488 --> 00:51:59.616 align:center
I think that when someone starts lying

00:51:59.699 --> 00:52:03.370 align:center
and accusing you
of something you didn't do,

00:52:04.746 --> 00:52:06.373 align:center
anyone would be upset.

00:52:07.207 --> 00:52:10.085 align:center
And as a normal human being
like anyone else,

00:52:10.168 --> 00:52:14.422 align:center
every time people lied about me,
it really upset me, I got really mad.

00:52:16.258 --> 00:52:18.009 align:center
We've enjoyed you so much.

00:52:18.093 --> 00:52:21.012 align:center
Now you should go
where you are better loved.

00:52:21.096 --> 00:52:22.931 align:center
You deserve to be happy.

00:52:23.014 --> 00:52:25.684 align:center
I told him, "Thank you. Thank you again."

00:52:26.268 --> 00:52:28.687 align:center
"I saw you re-write Barça's history."

00:52:28.770 --> 00:52:30.021 align:center
"The club was in the pits,

00:52:30.939 --> 00:52:33.900 align:center
and suddenly, your smile lit us up."

00:52:34.442 --> 00:52:37.195 align:center
He changed the story of our lives.

00:52:44.286 --> 00:52:48.790 align:center
I think I had already achieved
pretty much everything with Barcelona.

00:52:49.958 --> 00:52:54.087 align:center
His contract isn't due until 2010.
That's all I can say.

00:52:54.171 --> 00:52:56.298 align:center
I just woke up and read the news.

00:52:57.883 --> 00:53:00.969 align:center
It is said
that Chelsea's owner, Abramovich,

00:53:01.052 --> 00:53:03.388 align:center
might have hired the Brazilian player.

00:53:03.889 --> 00:53:05.932 align:center
Here in Italy we're reading the headlines

00:53:06.016 --> 00:53:08.894 align:center
about a next move in the next two weeks.

00:53:08.977 --> 00:53:11.438 align:center
We need to relax,
everything's fine. It's all good.

00:53:11.521 --> 00:53:14.149 align:center
He said, in two weeks,
you'll play for Milan.

00:53:14.232 --> 00:53:15.233 align:center
I don't think so.

00:53:15.317 --> 00:53:17.277 align:center
My brother would never
say something like that.

00:53:18.612 --> 00:53:23.074 align:center
Ronaldinho has openly stated
that if Barcelona transfers him,

00:53:23.158 --> 00:53:27.829 align:center
the only team he will play for
will be the world champions, Milan.

00:53:31.708 --> 00:53:32.751 align:center
10 YEARS LATER

00:53:35.545 --> 00:53:36.755 align:center
PARAGUAY

00:53:36.838 --> 00:53:41.384 align:center
Ronaldinho and his brother
are in custody of the Paraguayan police.

00:53:42.510 --> 00:53:46.806 align:center
I think being detained in Paraguay
was the worst moment.

00:53:47.390 --> 00:53:48.475 align:center
No doubt.

00:53:49.059 --> 00:53:54.064 align:center
I take responsibility for that,
because I should have been more vigilant.

00:53:54.648 --> 00:53:57.359 align:center
Maybe I should have
taken a different stance,

00:53:57.442 --> 00:53:59.569 align:center
but I was negligent.

00:54:00.570 --> 00:54:05.116 align:center
Outside, inside, we don’t stop
Global, worldwide, we don’t stop

00:54:05.200 --> 00:54:07.327 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don’t stop

00:54:07.410 --> 00:54:09.746 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don’t stop

00:54:09.829 --> 00:54:14.417 align:center
Outside, inside, we don’t stop
Global, worldwide, we don’t stop

00:54:14.501 --> 00:54:16.753 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don’t stop

00:54:16.836 --> 00:54:19.047 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don’t stop

00:54:19.130 --> 00:54:21.508 align:center
I’m ’bout to blow
Like a fully-loaded TEC-9

00:54:21.591 --> 00:54:23.802 align:center
Turn the lights out
Go and tell ’em “bedtime”

00:54:23.885 --> 00:54:26.179 align:center
Gotta steal the show
Everywhere we go

00:54:26.263 --> 00:54:28.515 align:center
Got a superego, but now a hero

00:54:28.598 --> 00:54:30.850 align:center
I keep the flow hot
Like it came from below

00:54:30.934 --> 00:54:33.228 align:center
The people say
“Gee, oh man, he’s dope!”

00:54:33.311 --> 00:54:35.563 align:center
“He got a little swag
But I heard he’s broke”

00:54:35.647 --> 00:54:37.941 align:center
Well, money ain’t the thing
That brings me peace, though

00:54:38.024 --> 00:54:39.484 align:center
I’ve been lookin’ for more lately

00:54:39.567 --> 00:54:42.570 align:center
The cars and whores, daily
The like you couldn’t afford, baby

00:54:42.654 --> 00:54:44.906 align:center
Just put some new hubs
On my new Accord, baby

00:54:44.990 --> 00:54:47.200 align:center
Got a determination
You couldn't reward, baby

00:54:47.283 --> 00:54:49.995 align:center
The vision don't come with ease
You gotta learn it

00:54:50.078 --> 00:54:52.330 align:center
Ain’t nothin’ in life free
You gotta earn it

00:54:52.414 --> 00:54:54.249 align:center
We the winners
It's already determined

00:54:54.332 --> 00:54:56.668 align:center
Bars on, a thousand degrees
I'm 'bout to burn it

00:54:56.751 --> 00:55:00.964 align:center
Outside, inside, we don't stop
Global, worldwide, we don't stop

00:55:01.047 --> 00:55:03.341 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don't stop

00:55:03.425 --> 00:55:05.760 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don't stop

00:55:05.844 --> 00:55:10.181 align:center
Outside, inside, we don't stop
Global, worldwide, we don't stop

00:55:10.265 --> 00:55:12.726 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don't stop

00:55:12.809 --> 00:55:15.020 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don't stop

00:55:15.937 --> 00:55:18.231 align:center
Dress too sharp
I might shank ya

00:55:18.315 --> 00:55:20.108 align:center
Check the resumé, I'm gangsta

00:55:20.608 --> 00:55:22.360 align:center
Payend on me, I might thank ya

00:55:22.444 --> 00:55:24.529 align:center
Green is natural colour
Let me paint ya

00:55:24.612 --> 00:55:26.865 align:center
A picture that's worth more
Than a thousand words

00:55:26.948 --> 00:55:29.200 align:center
I'm so gifted, prolific
Don't miss it

00:55:29.284 --> 00:55:31.953 align:center
So different, who we care
There ain't no competition

00:55:32.037 --> 00:55:34.289 align:center
I got a proposition for my opposition

00:55:34.372 --> 00:55:36.916 align:center
Smooth as the horns
When they comin'

00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:38.710 align:center
Beatin' like the man
On the drummin'

00:55:38.793 --> 00:55:41.046 align:center
I am the light
If you wanna let the sun in

00:55:41.129 --> 00:55:43.381 align:center
I could make a hit
Like a boxer when he punchin'

00:55:43.465 --> 00:55:45.425 align:center
I could make a hit
Like a lineman runnin'

00:55:45.508 --> 00:55:48.053 align:center
To the kicker when he puntin'
You won't owe nothin'

00:55:48.136 --> 00:55:50.597 align:center
No matter where we are
Aye, we runnin'

00:55:50.680 --> 00:55:52.557 align:center
Up, down, left or right
It doesn't matter

00:55:52.640 --> 00:55:55.018 align:center
Outside, inside, we don't stop
(Ah, yeah)

00:55:55.101 --> 00:55:57.103 align:center
Global, worldwide
We don't stop (C'mon)

00:55:57.187 --> 00:55:59.356 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don't stop

00:55:59.439 --> 00:56:01.691 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don't stop

00:56:01.775 --> 00:56:06.112 align:center
Outside, inside, we don't stop
Global, worldwide, we don't stop

00:56:06.196 --> 00:56:08.656 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don't stop

00:56:08.740 --> 00:56:10.533 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don't stop

00:56:10.617 --> 00:56:13.620 align:center
We don't, we don't, we don't stop

00:56:13.703 --> 00:56:15.663 align:center
We don't, we don't, we don't stop

00:56:15.747 --> 00:56:18.083 align:center
We don't, we don't, we don't stop

00:56:18.166 --> 00:56:20.251 align:center
We don't, we don't, we don't stop

00:56:20.335 --> 00:56:22.921 align:center
We don't, we don't, we don't stop

00:56:23.004 --> 00:56:25.006 align:center
We don't, we don't
(Alright) We don't stop
wide, we don't stop
