BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

00:00:18.727 --> 00:00:20.729 align:center
BE STRONG AND HAVE FAITH,
MRS. MIGUELINA!

00:00:23.565 --> 00:00:26.317 align:center
I'm blessed!
Never in my career have I received

00:00:26.401 --> 00:00:28.862 align:center
so much love, been so welcomed.

00:00:28.945 --> 00:00:32.282 align:center
Thank you.
Galo will live in my heart forever.

00:00:32.365 --> 00:00:34.576 align:center
13 YEARS LATER

00:00:37.537 --> 00:00:39.664 align:center
BELO HORIZONTE
BRAZIL

00:00:49.466 --> 00:00:51.217 align:center
The ball is in the penalty box.

00:00:51.301 --> 00:00:53.511 align:center
Ronaldinho Gaúcho's onside. He shoots!

00:00:53.595 --> 00:00:56.181 align:center
Goal!

00:01:03.688 --> 00:01:06.357 align:center
In such a tough moment of my life,

00:01:06.441 --> 00:01:08.485 align:center
Galo's fans embraced me.

00:01:08.568 --> 00:01:11.654 align:center
And so I'll embrace them
for the rest of my life.

00:01:24.626 --> 00:01:27.545 align:center
RONALDINHO: THE ONE AND ONLY

00:01:29.339 --> 00:01:31.883 align:center
EPISODE 03
WHO SAID I WAS FINISHED?

00:01:34.511 --> 00:01:35.845 align:center
BARCELONA
SPAIN

00:01:35.929 --> 00:01:40.058 align:center
Genius, magical, incredible.

00:01:40.141 --> 00:01:43.853 align:center
These were some
of the most common adjectives used

00:01:43.937 --> 00:01:47.774 align:center
when trying to put into words
what he did with his feet.

00:01:47.857 --> 00:01:49.526 align:center
After two disappointing seasons,

00:01:49.609 --> 00:01:52.570 align:center
the world wonders,"What happened to him?"

00:01:52.654 --> 00:01:54.280 align:center
He made history at Barcelona.

00:01:54.364 --> 00:01:57.575 align:center
The problem is that
Barcelona also had other star players.

00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.370 align:center
People will criticize
the slightest mistake you make

00:02:00.453 --> 00:02:02.789 align:center
and no longer look up to you. It's normal.

00:02:06.209 --> 00:02:09.379 align:center
It was a very hard couple of years
because of the pressure.

00:02:09.462 --> 00:02:12.632 align:center
The atmosphere started to…
to rot, you know.

00:02:12.715 --> 00:02:15.593 align:center
Everything turned very awkward.

00:02:15.677 --> 00:02:19.556 align:center
The time at Barcelona came to an end
along with Laporta's term.

00:02:20.098 --> 00:02:23.143 align:center
And because of the fight
between Sandro and Laporta,

00:02:23.226 --> 00:02:24.936 align:center
we got caught in the middle.

00:02:25.019 --> 00:02:27.480 align:center
Ronaldinho was Sandro's friend.

00:02:29.649 --> 00:02:32.443 align:center
My brother got tired
of being in the middle of this war,

00:02:32.527 --> 00:02:34.821 align:center
of being the center, of being blamed.

00:02:34.904 --> 00:02:37.532 align:center
Everything that happened
was Ronaldinho's fault.

00:02:38.032 --> 00:02:42.120 align:center
Every time they told lies about me,
it pissed me off, it really pissed me off.

00:02:43.621 --> 00:02:48.042 align:center
Ronnie is a man
who does not like conflict.

00:02:48.126 --> 00:02:50.128 align:center
When there's conflict, he takes off.

00:02:50.211 --> 00:02:54.007 align:center
Eto'o, Deco, Ronaldinho.
Do you see them staying in the club?

00:02:54.090 --> 00:02:57.051 align:center
We understand
that this is the situation we face.

00:02:57.135 --> 00:02:58.469 align:center
Things have deteriorated,

00:02:58.553 --> 00:03:01.389 align:center
and the only way out is
to build a positive environment.

00:03:01.472 --> 00:03:04.100 align:center
So we probably won't be considering them.

00:03:05.768 --> 00:03:09.272 align:center
Finally, the day came,
one of the saddest days in my life.

00:03:09.355 --> 00:03:11.357 align:center
The saddest thing for a president

00:03:11.441 --> 00:03:15.904 align:center
is to tell a person
who's given you everything that it's over.

00:03:15.987 --> 00:03:18.656 align:center
Today's news,
early this morning from Barcelona,

00:03:18.740 --> 00:03:21.951 align:center
a deal has been reached
with Milan for Ronaldinho.

00:03:22.035 --> 00:03:24.078 align:center
For 25 million euros,

00:03:24.162 --> 00:03:27.582 align:center
Laporta gets rid
of Barcelona's latest star,

00:03:27.665 --> 00:03:30.710 align:center
who had become quite problematic.

00:03:31.336 --> 00:03:35.340 align:center
I had already
fulfilled my dreams at Barcelona.

00:03:35.423 --> 00:03:39.093 align:center
And now, I also had
the chance of going to a great club,

00:03:39.177 --> 00:03:40.929 align:center
a different league.

00:03:41.512 --> 00:03:45.266 align:center
And I had the chance
of fulfilling a teenage dream.

00:03:45.350 --> 00:03:48.269 align:center
Of playing for a team I always liked.

00:03:48.770 --> 00:03:50.188 align:center
And it was wonderful.

00:03:50.271 --> 00:03:52.357 align:center
Ronaldinho, managed by his brother,

00:03:52.440 --> 00:03:55.276 align:center
waived 15% of his transfer fee
to sign with Milan.

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:56.861 align:center
Yes, we are happy.

00:03:56.945 --> 00:03:58.488 align:center
It's a beautiful story.

00:03:58.571 --> 00:04:00.782 align:center
They're the two biggest clubs
in the world.

00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:03.159 align:center
MILAN
ITALY

00:04:08.122 --> 00:04:11.918 align:center
I'm very happy to be here
and I hope to bring everyone joy.

00:04:17.090 --> 00:04:20.468 align:center
Now, it's a new life,
new goals, a new club.

00:04:20.551 --> 00:04:22.470 align:center
And we hope everything goes well.

00:04:28.851 --> 00:04:30.895 align:center
When Ronaldinho signed with Milan,

00:04:30.979 --> 00:04:32.689 align:center
one of the contract's clauses stated

00:04:32.772 --> 00:04:35.817 align:center
that Milan would come
to the Joan Gamper Trophy,

00:04:35.900 --> 00:04:38.695 align:center
Barcelona's summer tournament,
and play Barça.

00:04:39.570 --> 00:04:42.365 align:center
I go to Milan for an interview,

00:04:42.448 --> 00:04:43.574 align:center
and he says to me,

00:04:43.658 --> 00:04:46.995 align:center
"Cris, I'm not going,
I'm going to say I'm injured."

00:04:47.078 --> 00:04:49.914 align:center
I said, "What, why?"
And he said, "They'll boo me,

00:04:49.998 --> 00:04:53.001 align:center
and I can't stand
being booed by Barça fans again."

00:04:53.793 --> 00:04:56.504 align:center
I had to call Carles Puyol,
hand him the phone,

00:04:56.587 --> 00:04:58.548 align:center
and have the captain say to him,

00:04:59.090 --> 00:05:03.970 align:center
"Ronnie, ask all the Culés,
we really love you, we owe you a lot."

00:05:04.887 --> 00:05:07.807 align:center
The good things meant
much more than the bad things,

00:05:07.890 --> 00:05:10.852 align:center
which were not
entirely his responsibility.

00:05:11.436 --> 00:05:12.687 align:center
He had to come back here

00:05:12.770 --> 00:05:16.899 align:center
and receive all the affection
and gratitude he deserved.

00:05:16.983 --> 00:05:20.987 align:center
Also, because he hadn't been able
to say goodbye to the Barcelona fans.

00:05:21.070 --> 00:05:22.405 align:center
ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS

00:05:26.534 --> 00:05:27.869 align:center
WE MISS YOUR MAGIC
GIMME YOUR SHIRT

00:05:30.788 --> 00:05:32.540 align:center
Ronaldinho steps onto the field.

00:05:32.623 --> 00:05:35.043 align:center
He receives an ovation
from the people at the Camp Nou.

00:05:35.126 --> 00:05:38.129 align:center
Just look at the reaction
from the fans at the stadium.

00:05:39.130 --> 00:05:44.260 align:center
The entire stadium showed him
how important he was to us.

00:05:45.678 --> 00:05:48.222 align:center
I lived with my friends for years.

00:05:48.306 --> 00:05:53.311 align:center
And coming to play against them
in a place I loved to play,

00:05:54.312 --> 00:05:58.316 align:center
and being welcomed like that,
was unforgettable.

00:05:59.233 --> 00:06:00.109 align:center
I called him,

00:06:00.193 --> 00:06:04.697 align:center
and it was my way of telling him
he'd always be one of us.

00:06:04.781 --> 00:06:09.786 align:center
And we could never thank him enough
for everything he'd given us.

00:06:09.869 --> 00:06:11.662 align:center
Not only did he come up to me,

00:06:11.746 --> 00:06:13.790 align:center
but he handed me the trophy.

00:06:13.873 --> 00:06:15.166 align:center
It was wonderful.

00:06:16.209 --> 00:06:18.086 align:center
I never expected that.

00:06:19.378 --> 00:06:21.631 align:center
I can only express my gratitude

00:06:21.714 --> 00:06:23.841 align:center
for that gesture of…

00:06:24.550 --> 00:06:27.136 align:center
affection, love, respect, that

00:06:27.929 --> 00:06:32.058 align:center
I think very few, or no one,
has ever received in soccer.

00:06:47.824 --> 00:06:51.494 align:center
It was an absolutely wonderful time.

00:06:52.203 --> 00:06:58.459 align:center
To be a part of that group
of so many truly amazing people in soccer.

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:00.753 align:center
The soccer legends.

00:07:00.837 --> 00:07:04.674 align:center
There was Real Madrid,
during the Galácticos era,

00:07:04.757 --> 00:07:08.553 align:center
and then I got to Milan
with those Galácticos in their prime.

00:07:08.636 --> 00:07:11.931 align:center
Maldini, Beckham, Seedorf, Gattuso,

00:07:12.014 --> 00:07:15.226 align:center
Pirlo, Inzaghi, Kaká, Pato, Dida…

00:07:15.309 --> 00:07:16.602 align:center
All the great ones.

00:07:16.686 --> 00:07:20.189 align:center
To share the locker room with all of them,

00:07:21.023 --> 00:07:24.235 align:center
to play with all of them,
it was a wonderful time.

00:07:24.318 --> 00:07:25.361 align:center
I was very happy.

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.182 align:center
In a few months, Dunga,
the coach of the Brazilian national team,

00:07:54.265 --> 00:07:57.435 align:center
will be calling players
for the World Cup of 2010.

00:07:57.935 --> 00:08:00.771 align:center
Sometimes, I try to avoid the question

00:08:00.855 --> 00:08:04.358 align:center
but, of course
I want to play in the World Cup.

00:08:04.442 --> 00:08:08.821 align:center
To go to Africa and bring
another World Cup to the Brazilian people.

00:08:08.905 --> 00:08:12.283 align:center
I think Ronaldinho is the right choice.

00:08:12.366 --> 00:08:16.162 align:center
He's a reliable player
and I think Dunga will call him.

00:08:17.163 --> 00:08:21.250 align:center
Dunga, two players
that many people, in their minds,

00:08:21.334 --> 00:08:25.046 align:center
had speculated would be
on the list, did not make it.

00:08:25.129 --> 00:08:28.174 align:center
Alexandre Pato and Ronaldinho Gaúcho.

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:34.180 align:center
I have to make decisions based on reason,
not emotion, or what the heart wants.

00:08:34.263 --> 00:08:36.265 align:center
And also on what happens on the field.

00:08:36.349 --> 00:08:39.310 align:center
You were very upset
when the final list came out.

00:08:39.894 --> 00:08:43.189 align:center
Upset is an understatement.
Based on what I've done,

00:08:43.272 --> 00:08:45.733 align:center
I think I have what it takes
to be part of that team.

00:08:45.816 --> 00:08:47.235 align:center
At the time, everyone joked,

00:08:47.318 --> 00:08:50.738 align:center
"He didn't call you for the national team
because of that dribble back then."

00:08:50.821 --> 00:08:52.490 align:center
"You forced him to retire."

00:08:52.990 --> 00:08:56.160 align:center
He made that move
and Dunga wanted to punch him.

00:08:56.244 --> 00:09:00.164 align:center
Dunga is a very serious person,
he would not act out of revenge.

00:09:00.248 --> 00:09:02.166 align:center
A lot of people said that, though.

00:09:02.667 --> 00:09:03.501 align:center
I don't think so.

00:09:08.506 --> 00:09:12.051 align:center
Sometimes,
we lose a soldier in the battle,

00:09:12.134 --> 00:09:14.720 align:center
but you still have to win the war.

00:09:15.304 --> 00:09:18.391 align:center
I think the beginning
of the fall is inevitable.

00:09:18.474 --> 00:09:22.812 align:center
You start, you climb,
you reach the top of Mount Everest,

00:09:22.895 --> 00:09:24.897 align:center
and then you have to come down.

00:09:24.981 --> 00:09:26.607 align:center
I think it's normal in our career.

00:09:27.191 --> 00:09:29.569 align:center
But I was doing very well at Milan.

00:09:32.363 --> 00:09:35.741 align:center
I think I should have been part of that…

00:09:35.825 --> 00:09:37.451 align:center
That national team.

00:09:37.535 --> 00:09:40.288 align:center
But it didn't happen, and that's okay.

00:09:40.371 --> 00:09:42.206 align:center
I have no problem with that.

00:09:42.290 --> 00:09:44.458 align:center
-Did you watch the World Cup?
-No.

00:09:45.084 --> 00:09:46.460 align:center
-Brazil's games?
-No.

00:09:54.552 --> 00:09:57.888 align:center
What motivates a player
who has won everything?

00:09:58.848 --> 00:10:00.975 align:center
We started well in the Italian league,

00:10:01.058 --> 00:10:03.561 align:center
we are already fighting for first place.

00:10:03.644 --> 00:10:06.063 align:center
And now, we'll keep up the good work.

00:10:06.647 --> 00:10:09.984 align:center
I think it's the right country,
where I have everything I need

00:10:10.067 --> 00:10:12.320 align:center
to continue what I started.

00:10:21.037 --> 00:10:24.582 align:center
I called Mr. Galliani and said,
"We have a problem."

00:10:24.665 --> 00:10:27.168 align:center
Ronaldinho arrived in Brazil on Saturday,

00:10:27.251 --> 00:10:29.795 align:center
after leaving Milan's pre-season practice.

00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:34.050 align:center
With six months left on his contract,
Ronaldinho decides he won't come back.

00:10:34.133 --> 00:10:35.551 align:center
Fuck.

00:10:35.635 --> 00:10:37.553 align:center
My sister was getting married…

00:10:38.054 --> 00:10:40.556 align:center
I pulled him out
of my sister's wedding party,

00:10:41.057 --> 00:10:42.683 align:center
and put him on a plane.

00:10:42.767 --> 00:10:45.436 align:center
My deal with Galliani was the following,

00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.439 align:center
"Roberto, I need to take him
for an exhibition."

00:10:48.522 --> 00:10:52.068 align:center
"I have a contract with Emirates,
he's the star."

00:10:52.568 --> 00:10:56.489 align:center
"But I promise you,
he'll go there, introduce himself,

00:10:56.572 --> 00:10:58.407 align:center
and then he could come back."

00:10:58.491 --> 00:11:00.451 align:center
"And then we'll decide together."

00:11:01.285 --> 00:11:05.081 align:center
We're reaching the end…

00:11:05.164 --> 00:11:07.333 align:center
…with Milan, which is the first step.

00:11:07.416 --> 00:11:10.836 align:center
So tomorrow we'll have a conference
to announce everything.

00:11:10.920 --> 00:11:12.880 align:center
We're just finalizing the details.

00:11:12.963 --> 00:11:16.926 align:center
I think Brazilians are very attached
to their country and the life they lead.

00:11:17.009 --> 00:11:19.512 align:center
A way of life
that's hard to find somewhere else.

00:11:19.595 --> 00:11:22.223 align:center
After many years in Europe,
everything weighed on me.

00:11:22.306 --> 00:11:23.683 align:center
I wanted to go back to my country.

00:11:24.725 --> 00:11:28.187 align:center
I knew it was
the perfect time to go back to Grêmio.

00:11:28.938 --> 00:11:32.441 align:center
I was sure it would be a huge success.

00:11:34.151 --> 00:11:36.112 align:center
Assis reaches out to me.

00:11:36.612 --> 00:11:40.408 align:center
"He wants to come to Brazil
to play for Grêmio and retire there."

00:11:40.491 --> 00:11:41.742 align:center
Damn!

00:11:42.868 --> 00:11:45.246 align:center
We scheduled a press conference,

00:11:45.329 --> 00:11:50.668 align:center
simply to announce
that they were releasing Ronaldinho.

00:11:50.751 --> 00:11:55.339 align:center
And in the middle of the press conference,
Mr. Galliani blurts out

00:11:55.423 --> 00:11:59.176 align:center
that in Rio de Janeiro
he was a Flamengo fan.

00:11:59.260 --> 00:12:01.512 align:center
No, actually, in all of Brazil,
he supported Flamengo,

00:12:01.595 --> 00:12:03.764 align:center
'cause their kit
was red and black like Milan's.

00:12:04.473 --> 00:12:08.894 align:center
Certainly, my feelings
make me support Flamengo.

00:12:11.272 --> 00:12:12.314 align:center
You guys understand?

00:12:12.898 --> 00:12:18.154 align:center
But the final agreement will be made
between Ronaldinho and Milan.

00:12:18.738 --> 00:12:22.199 align:center
But if I had to follow my heart,
I'd say Flamengo.

00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:26.245 align:center
Imagine the mess I was involved in.

00:12:27.121 --> 00:12:29.999 align:center
Everyone thought
I had already signed with Flamengo,

00:12:30.082 --> 00:12:33.836 align:center
that I had already dealt with them,
because of what he said!

00:12:37.673 --> 00:12:43.095 align:center
Man, there were 3,000 or more
Flamengo fans outside the hotel.

00:12:43.179 --> 00:12:47.391 align:center
When Ronaldinho goes
to the balcony and sees that crowd…

00:12:47.475 --> 00:12:49.059 align:center
Damn, man.

00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:52.730 align:center
His son was little,
living in Rio de Janeiro.

00:12:53.397 --> 00:12:56.233 align:center
But still, we had nothing.

00:12:56.317 --> 00:13:00.613 align:center
Palmeiras has Felipão.
I have many friends there, in Grêmio.

00:13:00.696 --> 00:13:02.198 align:center
It's my city.

00:13:02.281 --> 00:13:05.034 align:center
And Flamengo is Flamengo, right?

00:13:05.117 --> 00:13:08.913 align:center
All those fans,
everything about Flamengo, so…

00:13:09.413 --> 00:13:11.332 align:center
It's hard to make a decision.

00:13:11.415 --> 00:13:13.375 align:center
It was horrible, it was a disaster.

00:13:13.459 --> 00:13:15.586 align:center
Personally, I couldn't sleep
because of that.

00:13:15.669 --> 00:13:19.632 align:center
Even so, we went ahead with our deal.
"All right, let's sign it, let's do it."

00:13:20.216 --> 00:13:23.093 align:center
He's flying here,
he's landing tomorrow morning.

00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:28.474 align:center
Speakers have been set up
ahead of a possible celebration.

00:13:28.557 --> 00:13:32.353 align:center
And fans have been here
since early in the morning as well.

00:13:32.436 --> 00:13:34.605 align:center
But then Assis makes a demand.

00:13:34.688 --> 00:13:37.900 align:center
There was a money thing
of about 12 million.

00:13:37.983 --> 00:13:39.860 align:center
Something about an unpaid debt

00:13:39.944 --> 00:13:43.072 align:center
in the termination
of the contract with Milan.

00:13:43.155 --> 00:13:46.575 align:center
Suddenly, Assis wanted to include that.

00:13:46.659 --> 00:13:49.411 align:center
Everyone knew
we had a contract with Milan.

00:13:49.495 --> 00:13:52.039 align:center
He still had
six months left on his contract,

00:13:52.122 --> 00:13:55.834 align:center
and I was working to get him out…
at no cost.

00:13:55.918 --> 00:13:59.129 align:center
"Hey, Assis,
we've already discussed all of this."

00:13:59.213 --> 00:14:00.965 align:center
"We've already settled it."

00:14:01.048 --> 00:14:04.426 align:center
"You know that's way beyond
what we can afford."

00:14:04.927 --> 00:14:08.681 align:center
"Everything's here,
it's a fortune, you'll get paid well."

00:14:09.223 --> 00:14:12.268 align:center
"You want more? Can't do that, that's it."

00:14:12.351 --> 00:14:16.605 align:center
Negotiations for Ronaldinho's
contract with Grêmio are over.

00:14:17.106 --> 00:14:20.067 align:center
He can make more offers, more bets.

00:14:20.150 --> 00:14:22.528 align:center
If he really loves Grêmio like he said,

00:14:22.611 --> 00:14:23.988 align:center
he should play there for free.

00:14:24.071 --> 00:14:26.031 align:center
He's already made his fortune.

00:14:27.324 --> 00:14:29.827 align:center
He's a mercenary! He's a mercenary!

00:14:30.619 --> 00:14:34.707 align:center
Assis was too greedy.
That was the problem.

00:14:35.207 --> 00:14:37.793 align:center
I think I'm too nice,
I believe in people too much.

00:14:42.464 --> 00:14:44.967 align:center
Thank you for all the love.

00:14:46.677 --> 00:14:48.304 align:center
And I just want to say,

00:14:48.387 --> 00:14:51.765 align:center
I hope I can repay
all your love on the field.

00:14:51.849 --> 00:14:54.226 align:center
We're in this together, I'm with you all.

00:14:54.310 --> 00:14:56.437 align:center
Now I'm Flamengo.

00:14:57.021 --> 00:15:00.232 align:center
All of my friends were Flamengo fans,
and they still are.

00:15:01.275 --> 00:15:03.736 align:center
So I was already under pressure at home.

00:15:04.361 --> 00:15:07.031 align:center
All of my friends were like,
"Is it true? Are you coming?"

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.327 align:center
Playing for Flamengo
means being close to the beach,

00:15:11.410 --> 00:15:13.871 align:center
footvolley, and pagode.

00:15:13.954 --> 00:15:17.791 align:center
How much did these attractions weigh into the star's decision?

00:15:18.375 --> 00:15:21.670 align:center
I've wanted to live
in Rio de Janeiro since I was a kid.

00:15:21.754 --> 00:15:24.757 align:center
Since I first visited Rio
when I was very young.

00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:29.887 align:center
And so, the opportunity to play
for Flamengo was something magical.

00:15:29.970 --> 00:15:31.722 align:center
Santos versus Flamengo.

00:15:31.805 --> 00:15:34.350 align:center
It's the twelfth round
of the Brazilian Championship.

00:15:37.353 --> 00:15:38.896 align:center
NEYMAR JR.
SOCCER PLAYER

00:15:38.979 --> 00:15:40.731 align:center
-Hello.
-Hello.

00:15:40.814 --> 00:15:47.655 align:center
Man, it was an incredible game
for those who like soccer.

00:15:47.738 --> 00:15:51.492 align:center
They talked about me
and they talked about Neymar.

00:15:51.575 --> 00:15:52.952 align:center
The greatest talents

00:15:53.035 --> 00:15:56.080 align:center
that represent the essence
of Brazilian soccer are on the field.

00:15:56.163 --> 00:15:57.831 align:center
Ronaldinho and Neymar.

00:15:57.915 --> 00:16:01.043 align:center
He was challenged.
The best player in Brazil today is Neymar.

00:16:01.126 --> 00:16:03.629 align:center
"What about me?
I'll show that I'm better than Neymar."

00:16:05.005 --> 00:16:06.465 align:center
It was a tough start.

00:16:06.548 --> 00:16:09.677 align:center
He hasn't taken a shot yet.
Beautiful ball to Borges!

00:16:09.760 --> 00:16:11.136 align:center
Goal!

00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:13.430 align:center
Neymar was crushing it.

00:16:13.514 --> 00:16:15.891 align:center
He gives it to Neymar.
Chips it, it's stopped.

00:16:15.974 --> 00:16:19.853 align:center
Falls back to Neymar.
Felipe blocks, now the goal!

00:16:19.937 --> 00:16:21.981 align:center
Neymar protects the ball,
makes the dribble.

00:16:22.064 --> 00:16:24.608 align:center
What a play by Neymar! What a goal!

00:16:24.692 --> 00:16:26.235 align:center
Goal!

00:16:26.735 --> 00:16:29.446 align:center
We thought we were
going to win the game, you know?

00:16:29.530 --> 00:16:31.365 align:center
But we knew Flamengo's team was very good.

00:16:31.949 --> 00:16:33.325 align:center
3-0 on the scoreboard,

00:16:33.409 --> 00:16:36.495 align:center
against these players,
against this team, is nothing.

00:16:37.204 --> 00:16:39.707 align:center
Luiz Antônio
with the cross, it falls to Ronaldinho!

00:16:39.790 --> 00:16:41.250 align:center
Goal!

00:16:41.333 --> 00:16:43.711 align:center
Thiago Neves with the cross! Goal!

00:16:43.794 --> 00:16:45.963 align:center
He sends it to the box! Goal!

00:16:46.046 --> 00:16:49.049 align:center
They make it 3-1, 3-2, then 3-3.

00:16:49.133 --> 00:16:51.176 align:center
And still in the first half.

00:16:51.260 --> 00:16:54.263 align:center
In the second half,
we made some adjustments,

00:16:54.346 --> 00:16:56.348 align:center
and things began to fall into place.

00:16:56.432 --> 00:16:59.101 align:center
The second half begins at Vila Belmiro!

00:16:59.184 --> 00:17:02.271 align:center
In the second half,
I scored another beautiful goal,

00:17:02.354 --> 00:17:03.564 align:center
making it 4-3.

00:17:03.647 --> 00:17:07.568 align:center
Neymar gets it!
Goes in, shoots! What a great goal!

00:17:07.651 --> 00:17:09.653 align:center
And then Ronaldinho ties the game.

00:17:09.737 --> 00:17:12.531 align:center
Ronaldinho protects it,
dribbles, and he's tackled!

00:17:12.614 --> 00:17:15.159 align:center
Arouca fouls Ronaldinho!

00:17:15.242 --> 00:17:17.369 align:center
Hey, you won't let me lie.

00:17:17.453 --> 00:17:21.165 align:center
-Because we practiced together.
-I know.

00:17:21.248 --> 00:17:23.167 align:center
We train together! And practice.

00:17:23.250 --> 00:17:27.171 align:center
I took a free kick under the wall
and he said, "Are you crazy?"

00:17:27.254 --> 00:17:31.925 align:center
I said to him,"Hey, man, at Vila Belmiro,
the field will be wet."

00:17:32.009 --> 00:17:34.678 align:center
"You'll see, they'll jump up
and I'll go underneath."

00:17:34.762 --> 00:17:36.096 align:center
-It's true.
-Huh?

00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:38.265 align:center
And then he said… he didn't.

00:17:38.348 --> 00:17:41.101 align:center
This is an excellent opportunity.

00:17:41.185 --> 00:17:44.563 align:center
But we would practice
with a fixed iron wall,

00:17:45.647 --> 00:17:48.317 align:center
that only had a tiny space
to make the ball go through.

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.819 align:center
Twenty-two minutes into the second half!

00:17:50.903 --> 00:17:52.821 align:center
This game is breathtaking.

00:17:52.905 --> 00:17:55.657 align:center
So I said, "If it goes through there,
it'll go through in the game."

00:17:55.741 --> 00:17:58.869 align:center
And I kept practicing, and he said,
"You're losing your mind, man."

00:17:58.952 --> 00:18:01.080 align:center
Here comes Ronaldinho. He kicks!

00:18:01.163 --> 00:18:04.166 align:center
Goal!

00:18:07.002 --> 00:18:10.756 align:center
That free-kick goal
was one of the most enjoyable of my life,

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.885 align:center
because I could laugh at this fool's face.

00:18:14.968 --> 00:18:17.387 align:center
Ronaldinho's open!
Thiago passes to Ronaldinho,

00:18:17.471 --> 00:18:18.514 align:center
he takes the shot!

00:18:18.597 --> 00:18:23.894 align:center
Goal!

00:18:24.478 --> 00:18:28.190 align:center
He's a legendary player.
Ronaldinho managed to shine.

00:18:28.273 --> 00:18:30.859 align:center
And at the same time,
I was starting my career,

00:18:30.943 --> 00:18:32.903 align:center
and I was able to shine with him.

00:18:33.570 --> 00:18:35.572 align:center
A game that will go down in the history

00:18:35.656 --> 00:18:37.908 align:center
of Brazilian Championships!

00:18:38.408 --> 00:18:41.745 align:center
Playing for Flamengo was magical,
and so was Rio de Janeiro.

00:18:41.829 --> 00:18:45.707 align:center
We won the Carioca Championship,
won the Guanabara Cup.

00:18:46.416 --> 00:18:52.589 align:center
R10's Flamengo are champions
of the 2011 Guanabara Cup!

00:18:52.673 --> 00:18:57.219 align:center
Ronaldinho Gaúcho's first title
wearing the red-and-black shirt!

00:18:57.928 --> 00:19:01.515 align:center
Undefeated.
Seven months without losing at Flamengo.

00:19:01.598 --> 00:19:05.102 align:center
The only club where I stayed so long
without losing a single game.

00:19:05.686 --> 00:19:06.854 align:center
I miss it so much.

00:19:07.437 --> 00:19:10.649 align:center
Unfortunately, you won't understand.

00:19:13.235 --> 00:19:15.654 align:center
Even if I explain it,
you won't understand.

00:19:15.737 --> 00:19:17.573 align:center
-No?
-Nah…

00:19:18.323 --> 00:19:20.868 align:center
Only those who lived it, man.

00:19:21.451 --> 00:19:23.245 align:center
This video, released by the team,

00:19:23.328 --> 00:19:27.249 align:center
shows Ronaldinho arriving
at the training camp in Londrina.

00:19:27.332 --> 00:19:31.545 align:center
Ronaldinho entered the room
and left at 11 p.m. to take the elevator.

00:19:31.628 --> 00:19:34.006 align:center
But what happened in that meeting?

00:19:34.089 --> 00:19:37.593 align:center
At 1:15 a.m., shirtless,
he went back to his room.

00:19:37.676 --> 00:19:39.428 align:center
He left at 9:07 a.m.

00:19:41.346 --> 00:19:43.557 align:center
When it comes to Luxemburgo,

00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:47.603 align:center
there are good things and very bad things.

00:19:48.937 --> 00:19:51.690 align:center
We had some friction
during my career and life.

00:19:51.773 --> 00:19:55.694 align:center
But he's one of the coaches
I respect the most.

00:19:55.777 --> 00:19:59.239 align:center
He was always a guy who…
I heard him say countless times

00:19:59.323 --> 00:20:01.992 align:center
that he's always wanted
the best for Ronaldinho.

00:20:02.075 --> 00:20:04.286 align:center
But I think he was also
causing him a lot of harm.

00:20:04.369 --> 00:20:10.834 align:center
Like, uh… manipulating footage
from the hotel cameras,

00:20:10.918 --> 00:20:15.047 align:center
to say that Ronaldinho
had snuck someone into the hotel.

00:20:15.130 --> 00:20:17.507 align:center
Anyway,
the time at Flamengo was very messy.

00:20:17.591 --> 00:20:19.593 align:center
No, I didn't bring anyone.

00:20:20.093 --> 00:20:23.931 align:center
I met a girl I knew from before
at the hotel.

00:20:24.514 --> 00:20:26.058 align:center
I spoke to her normally.

00:20:26.141 --> 00:20:30.646 align:center
Ronaldinho allegedly
tipped a waiter $100 at the Ecuador hotel,

00:20:30.729 --> 00:20:32.105 align:center
to have beer delivered to his room.

00:20:32.189 --> 00:20:36.276 align:center
Flamengo lost the game, 3-2.
Ronaldinho had an average performance.

00:20:36.360 --> 00:20:41.156 align:center
I never tipped anyone $100.
There's no truth to that.

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:46.703 align:center
It's soccer. Every Wednesday
and Sunday's always a different movie.

00:20:46.787 --> 00:20:49.957 align:center
If you win,
it's a happy ending, no one says a thing.

00:20:50.040 --> 00:20:53.418 align:center
If you lose, it's a sad ending,
and everyone criticizes you.

00:20:53.502 --> 00:20:56.546 align:center
That's soccer
and it will always be like that.

00:20:58.382 --> 00:21:01.635 align:center
One fan went so far
as to create the "Bucktooth Hotline",

00:21:01.718 --> 00:21:05.055 align:center
a phone hotline
for people to share information

00:21:05.138 --> 00:21:07.557 align:center
about Ronaldinho's whereabouts.

00:21:07.641 --> 00:21:09.810 align:center
The reason for fans' dissatisfaction

00:21:09.893 --> 00:21:14.356 align:center
is Flamengo's poor performances
on the field, especially Ronaldinho's,

00:21:14.439 --> 00:21:19.611 align:center
as he has frequently been seen out
and about enjoying the nightlife in Rio.

00:21:24.241 --> 00:21:28.537 align:center
To be honest,
I never cared much about what people said.

00:21:29.204 --> 00:21:32.499 align:center
You only read the paper
when things go well.

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.544 align:center
You only watch the news
when things go well,

00:21:35.627 --> 00:21:38.338 align:center
Because when things are bad,
you already know they're bad.

00:21:38.422 --> 00:21:42.092 align:center
And if someone says that those things…

00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:44.636 align:center
don't affect you, they're lying.

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.639 align:center
The ruckus is over, the party's over.

00:21:47.723 --> 00:21:49.558 align:center
And the battle has just begun.

00:21:49.641 --> 00:21:53.520 align:center
Flamengo had financial problems
and couldn't…

00:21:54.021 --> 00:21:57.399 align:center
afford to keep some players.

00:21:57.482 --> 00:22:01.320 align:center
Flamengo's board director said
that Ronaldinho is to blame, not the club,

00:22:01.403 --> 00:22:03.572 align:center
and has declared war on the player.

00:22:12.247 --> 00:22:14.750 align:center
I was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro,

00:22:14.833 --> 00:22:19.087 align:center
in a hotel, when Cuca called me.

00:22:19.171 --> 00:22:24.551 align:center
He said, "President,
our number 10 is free on the market."

00:22:25.344 --> 00:22:27.179 align:center
I said,
"Cuca, what are you talking about?"

00:22:27.971 --> 00:22:34.227 align:center
"The court released Ronaldinho
and now he's available."

00:22:34.311 --> 00:22:38.940 align:center
Ronaldinho filed a lawsuit
in the Rio de Janeiro Labor Court

00:22:39.024 --> 00:22:41.276 align:center
and terminated his contract with Flamengo.

00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:45.072 align:center
I said, "Dear Lord, Cuca,
we have so many problems already."

00:22:45.155 --> 00:22:47.908 align:center
"We have way too many problems

00:22:47.991 --> 00:22:51.703 align:center
to deal with Ronaldinho
at this point in my life."

00:22:54.706 --> 00:22:57.334 align:center
When we found out he had left Flamengo,

00:22:57.417 --> 00:23:01.588 align:center
the next day we talked to Assis,
who had played alongside me.

00:23:01.671 --> 00:23:04.841 align:center
Cuca called me,
we had played together at Grêmio,

00:23:04.925 --> 00:23:07.844 align:center
we have a great friendship.
He said, "Assis, what's the situation?"

00:23:08.428 --> 00:23:13.517 align:center
"I have a team that can be champions.
I just need a number 10."

00:23:13.600 --> 00:23:15.352 align:center
"We'll be there tomorrow morning."

00:23:16.436 --> 00:23:18.730 align:center
"Okay then, let's go to Porto Alegre."

00:23:23.026 --> 00:23:25.028 align:center
Papa Kalil met with my brother,

00:23:25.112 --> 00:23:29.533 align:center
and my brother asked me to meet him.

00:23:30.033 --> 00:23:33.787 align:center
And he said the words
Ronaldinho needed to hear.

00:23:33.870 --> 00:23:36.081 align:center
He talked about the ideas he had,

00:23:36.164 --> 00:23:39.709 align:center
who the coach was, who the players were.

00:23:39.793 --> 00:23:41.795 align:center
And I fell in love right away.

00:23:42.379 --> 00:23:44.131 align:center
He got teary-eyed.

00:23:44.214 --> 00:23:49.511 align:center
Very straightforward,
very simple, very honest.

00:23:49.594 --> 00:23:52.013 align:center
That's why I call him Papa Kalil
to this day.

00:23:52.097 --> 00:23:54.933 align:center
The news is that Ronaldinho

00:23:55.016 --> 00:23:58.520 align:center
had a lunch
with President Alexandre Kalil.

00:23:58.603 --> 00:24:00.730 align:center
Now we just have to wait.

00:24:00.814 --> 00:24:04.276 align:center
Hours before training started,
there was a helicopter.

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:06.319 align:center
No one understood what was going on.

00:24:06.403 --> 00:24:10.323 align:center
And then he shows up,
already dressed in his training uniform.

00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:16.121 align:center
The press was going crazy
over Ronaldinho at Atlético Mineiro.

00:24:16.746 --> 00:24:19.082 align:center
How do you deal
with the "party animal" labeling?

00:24:19.166 --> 00:24:22.878 align:center
I put everything aside.
I came here to play, I just focus on that.

00:24:23.462 --> 00:24:25.630 align:center
We're not in Rio, we're in Minas Gerais.

00:24:25.714 --> 00:24:28.300 align:center
So we want to party on the field.

00:24:29.009 --> 00:24:32.262 align:center
And I think he's had
enough of partying off the field.

00:24:40.103 --> 00:24:41.563 align:center
We were playing on Sunday,

00:24:41.646 --> 00:24:44.608 align:center
so we had to be back at camp,
at the hotel, on Friday.

00:24:44.691 --> 00:24:48.570 align:center
We were supposed to be there at 11 p.m.,
but we got there at 2 a.m.

00:24:48.653 --> 00:24:52.949 align:center
And that, obviously, made Cuca really mad.

00:24:53.033 --> 00:24:56.995 align:center
"I'm fed up with you.
Every day I'm struggling to protect you."

00:24:57.078 --> 00:24:59.080 align:center
"Get out of here." And…

00:24:59.164 --> 00:25:04.252 align:center
Alexandre Kalil called and said,
"Send him up here. Don't let him leave."

00:25:04.336 --> 00:25:07.088 align:center
Because I told him
in that first conversation

00:25:07.172 --> 00:25:11.259 align:center
that he wouldn't do to Atlético
what he did to Flamengo.

00:25:11.343 --> 00:25:13.929 align:center
"Or you can pack your bags and leave."

00:25:14.012 --> 00:25:16.806 align:center
It was desperation.
"Wait, Mr. President, let's talk."

00:25:16.890 --> 00:25:19.893 align:center
"Fine, I won't get involved,
you guys can sort it out with him."

00:25:20.477 --> 00:25:23.313 align:center
I was already a mature,
experienced player.

00:25:23.897 --> 00:25:28.652 align:center
So I knew what I could and couldn't do.

00:25:28.735 --> 00:25:34.908 align:center
Sometimes, two adults argue
until they reach a…

00:25:35.784 --> 00:25:37.827 align:center
a reasonable conclusion.

00:25:37.911 --> 00:25:40.330 align:center
Apologize and move on.

00:25:41.373 --> 00:25:44.334 align:center
He apologized and asked me to stay.

00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:46.795 align:center
When the group is good, it's like that.

00:25:46.878 --> 00:25:49.422 align:center
You argue and decide
what's best for the group,

00:25:49.506 --> 00:25:51.591 align:center
what you need to do to be champions.

00:25:52.175 --> 00:25:56.179 align:center
This argument was on Saturday,
it was resolved on Saturday.

00:25:56.763 --> 00:26:00.559 align:center
And on Sunday,
he went to play against Vasco da Gama

00:26:00.642 --> 00:26:05.814 align:center
and he just simply
destroyed Vasco da Gama.

00:26:07.065 --> 00:26:09.985 align:center
He passes to Ronaldinho.
He dribbles past Auremir.

00:26:10.068 --> 00:26:15.824 align:center
Crosses, Jô with the header, goal!

00:26:19.035 --> 00:26:21.079 align:center
God has been very good to me.

00:26:21.580 --> 00:26:24.958 align:center
I won almost every title possible.

00:26:25.542 --> 00:26:28.003 align:center
But I was missing the Libertadores.

00:26:28.086 --> 00:26:33.091 align:center
And I had this drive, motivation,
to win the Libertadores and make history.

00:26:33.174 --> 00:26:37.178 align:center
Atlético Mineiro
is one of the biggest teams in Brazil.

00:26:37.262 --> 00:26:40.265 align:center
It's a team that has very passionate fans.

00:26:40.348 --> 00:26:42.726 align:center
And it's a team
that doesn't have the number of titles

00:26:42.809 --> 00:26:45.312 align:center
that a club of that size should have.

00:26:45.812 --> 00:26:51.026 align:center
So, what was missing
was to make Atlético a winner.

00:26:51.109 --> 00:26:56.781 align:center
And I started putting together a team
that they called "The Unwanted."

00:26:56.865 --> 00:27:00.660 align:center
We had Jô, who was dismissed
from Porto Alegre's Internacional.

00:27:00.744 --> 00:27:04.372 align:center
We had Ronaldinho,
who nobody wanted at the time.

00:27:04.456 --> 00:27:08.501 align:center
And in the end, people would say
it was a team of outcasts.

00:27:09.919 --> 00:27:12.672 align:center
Because a team of angels doesn't win.

00:27:14.758 --> 00:27:18.511 align:center
When the tournament began,
we had no credibility at all.

00:27:19.262 --> 00:27:22.390 align:center
And we spent most
of the Brazilian Championship

00:27:22.474 --> 00:27:23.683 align:center
in first place.

00:27:24.267 --> 00:27:26.561 align:center
Great players with a lot of talent.

00:27:26.645 --> 00:27:31.566 align:center
Each one knew what they had to do.
Each one knew how to help one another.

00:27:31.649 --> 00:27:33.777 align:center
We finished in second place.

00:27:34.361 --> 00:27:37.447 align:center
Then we qualified
for the Libertadores Cup.

00:27:38.031 --> 00:27:41.701 align:center
Ronaldinho's goal was enough
to secure the state title

00:27:41.785 --> 00:27:43.453 align:center
for the second time in a row.

00:27:43.536 --> 00:27:46.081 align:center
I needed to take this important first step

00:27:46.164 --> 00:27:48.958 align:center
in order to start
making history at Atlético.

00:27:51.002 --> 00:27:54.381 align:center
He was the best player of 2012.

00:27:54.464 --> 00:27:57.342 align:center
He started to take
a leading role on the team,

00:27:57.926 --> 00:28:02.430 align:center
and he was warmly embraced
by Atlético's fans.

00:28:03.515 --> 00:28:05.975 align:center
A connection that can't be explained.

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:09.646 align:center
Your personality really fits
with people here. Don't you think?

00:28:10.355 --> 00:28:12.399 align:center
They say I'm becoming a native,

00:28:12.482 --> 00:28:14.984 align:center
but I've always had that
even though I'm not from here.

00:28:16.736 --> 00:28:20.115 align:center
At Atlético Mineiro,
living in Belo Horizonte,

00:28:20.198 --> 00:28:22.242 align:center
was when my mom had health issues.

00:28:22.325 --> 00:28:25.912 align:center
That was the only, like…

00:28:26.413 --> 00:28:29.207 align:center
difficult moment I had.

00:28:30.083 --> 00:28:33.545 align:center
Not only at Atlético,
but in my life in general.

00:28:35.922 --> 00:28:38.925 align:center
It's the first time
I've walked onto the field with him,

00:28:39.008 --> 00:28:40.635 align:center
so I can't help it.

00:28:40.718 --> 00:28:43.930 align:center
With all these people, it's very moving.

00:28:44.639 --> 00:28:47.100 align:center
Did you really think you'd stop playing?

00:28:47.183 --> 00:28:50.937 align:center
I did. Because, back then, I…

00:28:51.521 --> 00:28:55.275 align:center
had already achieved
most of my dreams playing soccer.

00:28:55.358 --> 00:29:00.405 align:center
And I thought,
"Maybe it's time I take care of my mom."

00:29:00.905 --> 00:29:03.825 align:center
At the height of his mother's illness,

00:29:04.325 --> 00:29:10.498 align:center
Ronaldinho gets on the field,
and suddenly, a gigantic banner unfurls.

00:29:11.708 --> 00:29:16.212 align:center
With a picture of Ronaldinho
hugging his mom, and the phrase:

00:29:16.296 --> 00:29:18.756 align:center
"May God protect her."

00:29:20.383 --> 00:29:25.764 align:center
They really embraced the family,
his life, all of Ronaldinho's story there.

00:29:27.265 --> 00:29:31.644 align:center
It was wonderful,
unforgettable. I never expected that.

00:29:31.728 --> 00:29:36.441 align:center
I already felt embraced,
I already felt at home.

00:29:37.025 --> 00:29:39.360 align:center
There, I identified with them even more.

00:29:39.444 --> 00:29:44.032 align:center
He's an incredible guy.
He's a truly amazing guy.

00:29:44.115 --> 00:29:46.493 align:center
He gave an interview, I heard it,

00:29:47.327 --> 00:29:51.372 align:center
saying, "What is happening?
These people embraced me."

00:29:52.957 --> 00:29:55.668 align:center
"I'll stand by these people until I die."

00:29:55.752 --> 00:30:00.006 align:center
They embraced me and I said,
"I'll stand by them until the end."

00:30:01.174 --> 00:30:05.470 align:center
And if I manage to give them that gift…

00:30:05.553 --> 00:30:08.515 align:center
that will be my glory.

00:30:11.100 --> 00:30:14.020 align:center
Atlético Mineiro
has always been a big club.

00:30:14.103 --> 00:30:18.066 align:center
The problem is that
they had never won a Libertadores.

00:30:23.488 --> 00:30:27.367 align:center
The first match,
we played São Paulo in the Round of 16.

00:30:28.159 --> 00:30:30.453 align:center
The game against São Paulo was bizarre.

00:30:30.537 --> 00:30:34.707 align:center
That was when he went
and drank from Rogério Ceni's bottle.

00:30:36.251 --> 00:30:39.796 align:center
I went to get some water
and became aware of what was happening.

00:30:41.923 --> 00:30:46.052 align:center
I knew how strong Marcos Rocha was
when taking throw-in's.

00:30:46.135 --> 00:30:49.430 align:center
So, even though I was far away,
I asked for the ball.

00:30:49.514 --> 00:30:52.684 align:center
The ball's inside the box.
Ronaldinho Gaúcho crosses to Jô!.

00:30:52.767 --> 00:30:54.477 align:center
It's a goal! Goal!

00:30:54.561 --> 00:30:55.645 align:center
He had that skill.

00:30:55.728 --> 00:30:58.523 align:center
And I showed up and scored
my first goal in the Libertadores,

00:30:58.606 --> 00:30:59.649 align:center
through that play.

00:30:59.732 --> 00:31:03.194 align:center
Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho!

00:31:03.278 --> 00:31:05.697 align:center
From the quarterfinals on,
we really suffered.

00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:10.660 align:center
The entire fan base
is eager to show their support once again.

00:31:10.743 --> 00:31:15.206 align:center
So that's motivation for us
and we hope we can react accordingly.

00:31:15.290 --> 00:31:18.126 align:center
The Argentine team won 2-0 there,

00:31:18.209 --> 00:31:20.503 align:center
and Atlético needs to turn the game around

00:31:20.587 --> 00:31:23.506 align:center
to qualify for the next round.

00:31:24.424 --> 00:31:26.426 align:center
The game was very slow.

00:31:26.509 --> 00:31:29.053 align:center
We were under pressure, we couldn't score.

00:31:29.137 --> 00:31:30.638 align:center
To Bernardol!

00:31:30.722 --> 00:31:33.891 align:center
And we had to score
one more to get to penalties.

00:31:34.434 --> 00:31:37.061 align:center
All of a sudden,
the stadium lights went out.

00:31:37.145 --> 00:31:38.730 align:center
The stadium had perfect lighting.

00:31:38.813 --> 00:31:42.609 align:center
In the two years playing there,
it had never happened before.

00:31:42.692 --> 00:31:47.238 align:center
It happened at that precise moment,
so I'm sure that it was Kalil's doing

00:31:47.322 --> 00:31:51.284 align:center
to change the game, so the coach
could give us some instructions.

00:31:56.164 --> 00:31:58.875 align:center
When the lights came back on,
two minutes later…

00:31:58.958 --> 00:32:00.710 align:center
Go, Guilherme! Make it count!

00:32:01.711 --> 00:32:05.131 align:center
…we managed to score…
…and take the game to penalties.

00:32:05.715 --> 00:32:08.051 align:center
It's the last penalty of the series.

00:32:08.134 --> 00:32:11.137 align:center
The expectation, the anxiety!

00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:14.724 align:center
But we practice so much,
that when you get there

00:32:14.807 --> 00:32:17.143 align:center
you are confident enough
to do what you have to do.

00:32:17.226 --> 00:32:20.813 align:center
Ronaldinho takes his signature pose.

00:32:20.897 --> 00:32:23.650 align:center
He kicks it
with his right foot, and scores!

00:32:23.733 --> 00:32:25.443 align:center
Goal!

00:32:25.526 --> 00:32:27.862 align:center
Ronaldinho scores.

00:32:27.946 --> 00:32:33.368 align:center
Victor was a hero against Tijuana,
saving a penalty at the 47th minute.

00:32:33.451 --> 00:32:35.620 align:center
Maxi shoots, Victor saves!

00:32:36.537 --> 00:32:39.540 align:center
Victor has stopped it!

00:32:39.624 --> 00:32:41.834 align:center
Victor has saved it!

00:32:41.918 --> 00:32:44.545 align:center
Atlético is in the final!

00:32:44.629 --> 00:32:50.176 align:center
Atlético heads to the Libertadores finals!

00:32:51.135 --> 00:32:52.220 align:center
Let's go, Galo!

00:32:52.929 --> 00:32:55.014 align:center
A 30-hour drive to see Galo win!

00:32:55.098 --> 00:32:59.811 align:center
Everyone was hyped to have
the chance to win the Libertadores.

00:32:59.894 --> 00:33:01.229 align:center
I was very motivated

00:33:01.312 --> 00:33:04.649 align:center
because it was a title
that I hadn't won yet in my career.

00:33:04.732 --> 00:33:08.194 align:center
We made it to a Libertadores final,
it isn't just any game.

00:33:08.277 --> 00:33:11.114 align:center
And Ronaldinho says,
"Let's show up dancing."

00:33:11.197 --> 00:33:12.365 align:center
"Dude, we won't have time,

00:33:12.448 --> 00:33:14.450 align:center
when we get there,
we have to rush and change."

00:33:14.534 --> 00:33:17.203 align:center
And he said,
"No, let's show up dancing, it's fine."

00:33:17.286 --> 00:33:21.040 align:center
And I thought,
"My God, what is this guy thinking?"

00:33:21.124 --> 00:33:23.918 align:center
And that energy he has,
that positive attitude…

00:33:28.798 --> 00:33:30.341 align:center
Let's go in with a clean body and soul,

00:33:30.425 --> 00:33:32.593 align:center
and with
the strongest determination possible,

00:33:32.677 --> 00:33:34.512 align:center
so that today we become champions!

00:33:35.888 --> 00:33:38.141 align:center
Following the Libertadores final.

00:33:38.224 --> 00:33:39.392 align:center
We played a pretty good game.

00:33:39.475 --> 00:33:44.814 align:center
Here comes Silva, he shoots.
Silva! Olimpia!

00:33:44.897 --> 00:33:46.983 align:center
Pittoni to take the free kick.

00:33:47.483 --> 00:33:48.901 align:center
Goal!

00:33:48.985 --> 00:33:49.986 align:center
But we lose 2-0.

00:33:50.069 --> 00:33:53.614 align:center
Olimpia, 2. Atlético Mineiro, 0.

00:33:54.490 --> 00:33:55.867 align:center
We were very confident

00:33:55.950 --> 00:33:58.494 align:center
because of everything
that had happened before.

00:33:58.578 --> 00:34:01.956 align:center
We always came back,
and we knew it wasn't easy,

00:34:02.040 --> 00:34:06.335 align:center
but we were confident we could…
turn it around.

00:34:09.297 --> 00:34:10.798 align:center
Yes, I believe!

00:34:12.091 --> 00:34:15.595 align:center
The crowd chanting, "Yes, I believe"
could be felt inside the field.

00:34:15.678 --> 00:34:17.221 align:center
It would give you goosebumps.

00:34:17.305 --> 00:34:19.682 align:center
Yes, I believe!

00:34:19.766 --> 00:34:22.268 align:center
There were nine births in my family,

00:34:22.351 --> 00:34:24.645 align:center
and they were very important in my life.

00:34:25.229 --> 00:34:32.028 align:center
Nothing compares
to that Libertadores night in my life.

00:34:33.071 --> 00:34:35.573 align:center
Let's see if Ronaldinho's team

00:34:35.656 --> 00:34:38.326 align:center
can turn the situation around.

00:34:38.409 --> 00:34:41.370 align:center
We had a great start
but we missed a lot of goals.

00:34:41.454 --> 00:34:44.499 align:center
And we made silly mistakes
we usually did not make.

00:34:44.582 --> 00:34:49.045 align:center
I think it was partly because of anxiety,
knowing the weight of the responsibility

00:34:49.128 --> 00:34:52.507 align:center
to turn that match around
and win a title after 40 years.

00:34:53.091 --> 00:34:54.801 align:center
The referee blows the whistle,

00:34:54.884 --> 00:34:56.844 align:center
and the first half is over.

00:34:56.928 --> 00:34:59.722 align:center
Nil-nil.

00:34:59.806 --> 00:35:02.683 align:center
I was on the bench
for that game, I didn't play.

00:35:02.767 --> 00:35:04.102 align:center
When Cuca finished speaking

00:35:04.185 --> 00:35:06.729 align:center
and the players started heading out
for the second half,

00:35:06.813 --> 00:35:09.190 align:center
I called everyone into the warm-up room.

00:35:10.024 --> 00:35:13.903 align:center
Giba is like a big brother to me,
a lovely person.

00:35:15.238 --> 00:35:18.825 align:center
And I told them: "This is
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

00:35:19.408 --> 00:35:20.409 align:center
"So let's go."

00:35:20.493 --> 00:35:22.995 align:center
"Let's go back out there
and play a great second half

00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:24.330 align:center
and turn this around."

00:35:24.413 --> 00:35:27.542 align:center
"And we will do it,
and we will leave here as champions."

00:35:30.586 --> 00:35:32.839 align:center
The Paraguayan team for the kick-off,

00:35:32.922 --> 00:35:37.218 align:center
only 45 minutes away
from winning its fourth Copa Libertadores.

00:35:37.301 --> 00:35:40.805 align:center
Also 45 minutes
for Mineiro to win their first title.

00:35:40.888 --> 00:35:44.016 align:center
And then, three minutes into the game,
I scored the first goal.

00:35:44.100 --> 00:35:46.185 align:center
Rosinei with the cross into the box.

00:35:46.269 --> 00:35:49.147 align:center
The defense misses it, looks at Jô!

00:35:50.189 --> 00:35:51.190 align:center
Goal!

00:35:51.274 --> 00:35:53.818 align:center
My son, the doctor,
was looking for me, "Where's Dad?"

00:35:53.901 --> 00:35:56.112 align:center
"Your dad is over there
in the locker room."

00:35:56.195 --> 00:35:59.907 align:center
So it was me, my son,
and the locker room staff watching it.

00:36:01.033 --> 00:36:05.955 align:center
On a TV, with a delay
of almost 20 seconds, the entire game.

00:36:06.038 --> 00:36:07.248 align:center
I'm a chicken.

00:36:07.331 --> 00:36:10.084 align:center
They have only four minutes
to score a goal.

00:36:10.168 --> 00:36:13.296 align:center
Galo's situation is
becoming absolutely dramatic.

00:36:13.379 --> 00:36:15.506 align:center
This might not be the best option.

00:36:15.590 --> 00:36:18.801 align:center
He sends it into the box.
Leonardo with the header!

00:36:18.885 --> 00:36:25.558 align:center
Goal!

00:36:27.685 --> 00:36:31.272 align:center
The ball is out.
And that's the final whistle.

00:36:32.982 --> 00:36:36.068 align:center
Penalties were next.
And I was there with all my teammates.

00:36:37.695 --> 00:36:40.573 align:center
I was waiting
for my turn to take the penalty.

00:36:40.656 --> 00:36:42.992 align:center
I wanted it. I was ready for it.

00:36:43.075 --> 00:36:44.994 align:center
Miranda with the right foot.

00:36:45.077 --> 00:36:48.539 align:center
Ronaldinho said, "I'll take
the last one, and I'll tell you what…"

00:36:49.207 --> 00:36:52.460 align:center
"If I get to shoot, I'll take
a Panenka penalty. I'll chip it."

00:36:52.543 --> 00:36:53.502 align:center
"You're kidding, right?"

00:36:53.586 --> 00:36:55.922 align:center
He shoots! Shoots with his left.

00:36:56.005 --> 00:36:58.507 align:center
All of Atlético's titles
have been tough to achieve.

00:36:59.467 --> 00:37:03.095 align:center
I wanted it to be my turn,
my time to shoot.

00:37:03.179 --> 00:37:05.056 align:center
The ball. He's left-footed.

00:37:10.186 --> 00:37:13.397 align:center
Eyes open wide. Giménez shoots! It's out!

00:37:17.068 --> 00:37:21.113 align:center
Atletico is the new
Copa Libertadores champion!

00:37:22.740 --> 00:37:26.410 align:center
I wanted to take the last penalty,
to be the champions because of my goal.

00:37:26.994 --> 00:37:29.247 align:center
But it was wonderful the way it was.

00:37:30.331 --> 00:37:33.709 align:center
Never in my career
had I received so much love,

00:37:33.793 --> 00:37:36.837 align:center
been so welcomed. Nowhere in the world.

00:37:36.921 --> 00:37:39.632 align:center
Thank you.
Galo will live in my heart forever.

00:37:43.552 --> 00:37:46.472 align:center
When I went up to the field,
Atlético was already the champion,

00:37:46.555 --> 00:37:48.224 align:center
they were already celebrating.

00:37:49.141 --> 00:37:50.768 align:center
We hugged right after the title.

00:37:50.851 --> 00:37:54.105 align:center
He grabbed my face and said,
"Didn't I tell you it was gonna happen?"

00:37:54.188 --> 00:37:57.483 align:center
I told you, "You're going
to come back and be the top scorer."

00:37:57.984 --> 00:37:59.944 align:center
That's why I always joke with him
and I say,

00:38:00.027 --> 00:38:01.779 align:center
"That's why
your nickname is 'The Wizard'."

00:38:06.909 --> 00:38:09.620 align:center
ATLÉTICO MINEIRO CHAMPIONS

00:38:09.704 --> 00:38:13.416 align:center
Everyone said I was finished,
that we were the team of outcasts.

00:38:13.499 --> 00:38:14.750 align:center
What have you got to say now?

00:38:26.220 --> 00:38:30.266 align:center
I had the honor
of being the president of the team

00:38:30.349 --> 00:38:33.602 align:center
with of one
of the greatest players of all time,

00:38:33.686 --> 00:38:35.146 align:center
Ronaldinho Gaúcho.

00:38:38.274 --> 00:38:41.027 align:center
What went wrong
in such an intense love story

00:38:41.110 --> 00:38:44.280 align:center
between Ronaldinho Gaúcho
and Atlético Mineiro?

00:38:44.363 --> 00:38:46.157 align:center
It worked out, it didn't go wrong.

00:38:46.240 --> 00:38:48.951 align:center
We got titles and had many moments of joy.

00:38:49.035 --> 00:38:53.998 align:center
And few have the privilege of leaving
after a big win when everything is great.

00:38:54.498 --> 00:38:58.502 align:center
And that's how I would like
Atlético fans to remember me.

00:38:59.253 --> 00:39:03.174 align:center
Where will you go after this?
What kind of place are you looking for?

00:39:03.257 --> 00:39:06.177 align:center
Right now,
I'm letting my brother work on it

00:39:06.260 --> 00:39:08.429 align:center
while I get to relax and unwind.

00:39:08.512 --> 00:39:10.348 align:center
Then, starting next week,

00:39:10.431 --> 00:39:13.100 align:center
we agreed to start
talking about the future.

00:39:13.684 --> 00:39:16.896 align:center
But I know his phone is ringing a lot.

00:39:23.110 --> 00:39:26.155 align:center
7 YEARS LATER

00:39:27.615 --> 00:39:31.660 align:center
My brother is always
taking care of my things, my whole life.

00:39:31.744 --> 00:39:34.997 align:center
More than a brother,
he's like a father to me.

00:39:36.290 --> 00:39:40.336 align:center
What happened was really crazy We never…

00:39:40.419 --> 00:39:43.714 align:center
We never imagined
going through something like that,

00:39:43.798 --> 00:39:45.841 align:center
living through something like that,
I mean…

00:39:48.219 --> 00:39:49.428 align:center
PARAGUAY

00:39:49.512 --> 00:39:53.682 align:center
I think being detained in Paraguay
was the worst moment.

00:39:54.308 --> 00:39:55.643 align:center
No doubt.

00:39:59.688 --> 00:40:02.566 align:center
Ronaldinho at
the Paraguay international airport,

00:40:02.650 --> 00:40:05.194 align:center
minutes after landing last Wednesday.

00:40:06.862 --> 00:40:11.492 align:center
There was social agitation
due to Ronaldinho's arrival in Paraguay.

00:40:11.575 --> 00:40:14.745 align:center
I was there that morning
when he went to a radio station.

00:40:15.454 --> 00:40:18.165 align:center
There he mentioned
participating in a book launch

00:40:18.249 --> 00:40:20.584 align:center
related to a social assistance project.

00:40:22.378 --> 00:40:25.172 align:center
I was called at 2 or 3 p.m.

00:40:25.256 --> 00:40:29.468 align:center
to handle a very delicate issue
that had come up.

00:40:29.552 --> 00:40:32.138 align:center
First off, I'm shown a passport photo.

00:40:32.221 --> 00:40:34.223 align:center
It's Ronaldinho's passport.

00:40:35.391 --> 00:40:36.559 align:center
Paraguyan.

00:40:37.768 --> 00:40:39.311 align:center
It caught my attention.

00:40:40.020 --> 00:40:42.773 align:center
We spoke to a judge
who authorized the arrest.

00:40:42.857 --> 00:40:46.652 align:center
Ronaldinho was in the presidential suite
playing video games.

00:40:46.735 --> 00:40:48.821 align:center
Not knowing what was going on.

00:40:48.904 --> 00:40:52.408 align:center
Former soccer player
Ronaldinho Gaúcho and his brother

00:40:52.491 --> 00:40:54.743 align:center
are in police custody in Paraguay.

00:40:54.827 --> 00:40:59.123 align:center
They are being investigated for using
false documents to enter the country.

00:40:59.206 --> 00:41:01.834 align:center
They gave us their passports and ID cards,

00:41:01.917 --> 00:41:04.420 align:center
because they also had Paraguayan ID cards,

00:41:04.503 --> 00:41:07.381 align:center
and Paraguayan driving licenses as well.

00:41:07.464 --> 00:41:10.176 align:center
The question we all asked was, "But why?"

00:41:10.259 --> 00:41:12.303 align:center
I mean, what was the need

00:41:12.386 --> 00:41:16.056 align:center
for him, Ronaldinho Gaúcho,
who everybody knows is Brazilian,

00:41:16.140 --> 00:41:18.767 align:center
to use a document that's not his?

00:41:19.268 --> 00:41:21.395 align:center
Assis has always managed his life.

00:41:21.479 --> 00:41:25.774 align:center
What they… …did was absurd.

00:41:25.858 --> 00:41:28.277 align:center
The… the document issue.

00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:30.446 align:center
The Paraguayan document.

00:41:33.782 --> 00:41:35.743 align:center
It was an important trip…

00:41:37.870 --> 00:41:41.081 align:center
And everything happened very fast.

00:41:42.249 --> 00:41:43.500 align:center
Ronaldinho is charged,

00:41:43.584 --> 00:41:46.003 align:center
and it's requested
that he be held without bail,

00:41:46.086 --> 00:41:50.257 align:center
for criminal conspiracy
and for the use of fake public documents.

00:41:50.341 --> 00:41:52.676 align:center
Ronaldinho Gaúcho and his brother Assis

00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.262 align:center
spent the night in separate cells.

00:41:55.346 --> 00:41:58.682 align:center
You trust someone and then they…

00:41:58.766 --> 00:42:01.185 align:center
don't keep their… their word.

00:42:01.268 --> 00:42:02.978 align:center
And I was surprised.

00:42:05.022 --> 00:42:07.942 align:center
Why did I have the passport?
I mean, someone gave it to me.

00:42:08.025 --> 00:42:10.653 align:center
A person came to my house
and gave me the passport.

00:42:11.237 --> 00:42:13.739 align:center
I believe that,
in no country in the world,

00:42:13.822 --> 00:42:16.825 align:center
does someone give ID documents to anybody.

00:42:16.909 --> 00:42:19.745 align:center
Arrested in Paraguay over a week ago,

00:42:19.828 --> 00:42:23.165 align:center
Ronaldinho Gaúcho took part
in an indoor soccer match

00:42:23.249 --> 00:42:25.417 align:center
between inmates and police officers.

00:42:25.501 --> 00:42:28.796 align:center
I made friends, you know?

00:42:28.879 --> 00:42:33.300 align:center
Everyone played soccer,
everyone practiced the sport.

00:42:33.384 --> 00:42:39.640 align:center
And it was a way…
to forget what was going on,

00:42:39.723 --> 00:42:42.685 align:center
doing what I loved the most.

00:42:42.768 --> 00:42:45.145 align:center
I was champion there too.

00:42:45.229 --> 00:42:50.109 align:center
The former Brazilian star
led his team to an 11-2 victory.

00:42:50.901 --> 00:42:54.071 align:center
The prize for the winning team
was a piglet.

00:42:56.824 --> 00:43:00.244 align:center
Ronaldinho was released
after over five months in prison.

00:43:01.036 --> 00:43:05.082 align:center
The former Brazilian star was released
on Monday by a Paraguayan judge,

00:43:05.165 --> 00:43:09.044 align:center
after being accused
of using a false Paraguayan passport.

00:43:09.128 --> 00:43:13.591 align:center
We were declared innocent,
we had absolutely nothing to do with it.

00:43:13.674 --> 00:43:15.593 align:center
Uh…

00:43:15.676 --> 00:43:20.347 align:center
We were caught
in a situation that wasn't ours,

00:43:20.431 --> 00:43:22.725 align:center
that had nothing to do with us.

00:43:22.808 --> 00:43:26.186 align:center
Ronaldinho and his brother
have no unresolved legal issues

00:43:26.270 --> 00:43:28.355 align:center
with the Paraguayan justice, to this day.

00:43:30.524 --> 00:43:33.652 align:center
You know, you are arrested for a situation

00:43:33.736 --> 00:43:35.446 align:center
that you had nothing to do with.

00:43:37.698 --> 00:43:38.699 align:center
It's awful.

00:43:39.283 --> 00:43:41.035 align:center
I think Ronaldinho was used.

00:43:41.118 --> 00:43:43.495 align:center
He was innocent
throughout the whole story.

00:43:44.705 --> 00:43:47.583 align:center
I take full responsibility for this.

00:43:48.334 --> 00:43:50.961 align:center
Because I should have been more careful,

00:43:51.462 --> 00:43:53.922 align:center
my attitude should have been different.

00:43:54.798 --> 00:43:57.301 align:center
Uh, I was negligent.

00:43:57.384 --> 00:43:58.886 align:center
I trusted blindly.

00:44:00.804 --> 00:44:02.556 align:center
Right on, Ronaldinho!

00:44:03.098 --> 00:44:04.933 align:center
Yeah, we're two men now.

00:44:05.017 --> 00:44:09.605 align:center
It's no longer father and son,
older brother, younger brother.

00:44:09.688 --> 00:44:15.027 align:center
After a certain age,
it's just two men going through…

00:44:15.903 --> 00:44:18.238 align:center
a difficult situation.

00:44:18.822 --> 00:44:19.865 align:center
It was tough.

00:44:23.577 --> 00:44:26.455 align:center
Ronaldinho Gaúcho's mother,
Mrs. Miguelina,

00:44:26.538 --> 00:44:28.457 align:center
died last night in Porto Alegre.

00:44:28.540 --> 00:44:30.250 align:center
She was 71 years old

00:44:30.334 --> 00:44:32.836 align:center
and had gotten COVID
in December of last year.

00:44:34.046 --> 00:44:36.090 align:center
Oh yeah, baby.

00:44:36.173 --> 00:44:37.716 align:center
What was the guy's name?

00:44:38.717 --> 00:44:40.052 align:center
Hm…

00:44:43.389 --> 00:44:48.852 align:center
The worst is knowing
that you no longer have someone

00:44:48.936 --> 00:44:50.521 align:center
who you will miss dearly.

00:44:50.604 --> 00:44:53.023 align:center
So not having my mom today…

00:44:54.316 --> 00:44:56.777 align:center
I'll say that was the worst day.

00:44:56.860 --> 00:44:59.738 align:center
The worst day was the day I lost my mom.

00:45:07.037 --> 00:45:09.748 align:center
My mother liked it,
she always came to visit me.

00:45:09.832 --> 00:45:12.918 align:center
First, we built my mother's house,
we did everything.

00:45:13.001 --> 00:45:15.129 align:center
It's where my sister lives to this day.

00:45:15.629 --> 00:45:19.633 align:center
So, sometimes I avoid going there
because I miss my mom a lot.

00:45:20.175 --> 00:45:23.512 align:center
And I really like it here.
So, when I go there,

00:45:23.595 --> 00:45:26.515 align:center
being in the places where she always was…

00:45:26.598 --> 00:45:28.434 align:center
I always miss her.

00:45:34.481 --> 00:45:36.817 align:center
I started building it in 2000.

00:45:36.900 --> 00:45:40.446 align:center
It was meant to be a condo,
but we bought everything all at once.

00:45:42.406 --> 00:45:44.366 align:center
This was my mom's house.

00:45:45.242 --> 00:45:47.536 align:center
We built it thinking of her.

00:45:48.620 --> 00:45:51.415 align:center
For her to have a nice place.
She enjoyed it a lot.

00:45:52.332 --> 00:45:54.918 align:center
-Mom got to enjoy it a lot.
-Yeah. She did.

00:45:58.964 --> 00:46:00.883 align:center
We had a very strong connection.

00:46:00.966 --> 00:46:04.595 align:center
Not only with my mother,
but also with my siblings.

00:46:05.345 --> 00:46:09.266 align:center
You know,
everyone says we are very similar.

00:46:10.642 --> 00:46:12.186 align:center
And if we're similar,

00:46:12.269 --> 00:46:15.105 align:center
it's because
she raised us that way, right?

00:46:15.606 --> 00:46:17.524 align:center
So she deserves all the credit.

00:46:32.956 --> 00:46:34.917 align:center
We have events, to go places.

00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:37.294 align:center
To go to Qatar,
to Saudi Arabia, and so on.

00:46:37.377 --> 00:46:39.254 align:center
That's more expensive.

00:46:39.755 --> 00:46:42.174 align:center
These trips around the world we take,

00:46:42.257 --> 00:46:44.927 align:center
each one of them, each country we go to,

00:46:45.010 --> 00:46:47.012 align:center
we are welcomed with a lot of love.

00:46:52.684 --> 00:46:53.936 align:center
We're almost there.

00:46:56.063 --> 00:46:58.482 align:center
My childhood dream was to be famous.

00:46:59.358 --> 00:47:02.152 align:center
Of course, I never imagined that,

00:47:02.236 --> 00:47:04.738 align:center
even after I stopped playing soccer,

00:47:04.821 --> 00:47:08.075 align:center
I would still be so well-known, you know?

00:47:08.158 --> 00:47:10.410 align:center
But I'm very happy.

00:47:10.494 --> 00:47:12.371 align:center
Everywhere I go in the world,

00:47:12.454 --> 00:47:15.624 align:center
people treat me
with a lot of respect and affection.

00:47:15.707 --> 00:47:18.669 align:center
I have to thank God more every day.

00:47:18.752 --> 00:47:20.837 align:center
Because I never imagined

00:47:20.921 --> 00:47:24.675 align:center
it would be as perfect
and as big as it is today.

00:47:29.596 --> 00:47:32.891 align:center
Random hangouts are like being in places

00:47:32.975 --> 00:47:34.643 align:center
you never imagined you would be,

00:47:34.726 --> 00:47:37.396 align:center
since there's no direct connection
to that person.

00:47:37.479 --> 00:47:41.483 align:center
One day you're at a Formula 1 race,
the next you're at a basketball game,

00:47:41.567 --> 00:47:43.861 align:center
and the next,
you're eating a traditional barbecue.

00:47:43.944 --> 00:47:45.946 align:center
I think that sums it up.

00:47:46.029 --> 00:47:49.324 align:center
Hanging out in very different places.

00:47:51.827 --> 00:47:55.122 align:center
And he has fun and entertains everyone.

00:47:55.205 --> 00:47:56.456 align:center
Ronaldinho!

00:47:59.001 --> 00:48:01.670 align:center
I'll keep working on my music projects,

00:48:01.753 --> 00:48:03.839 align:center
my soccer schools around the world.

00:48:04.548 --> 00:48:06.258 align:center
I'll keep traveling.

00:48:07.467 --> 00:48:09.678 align:center
Ronaldinho!

00:48:09.761 --> 00:48:12.055 align:center
It's wonderful and organic,
there's no planning.

00:48:12.139 --> 00:48:15.767 align:center
Just like there was no planning
in the way he dribbled on the field.

00:48:18.520 --> 00:48:20.897 align:center
Ronaldinho, that pool photo you posted

00:48:22.024 --> 00:48:23.150 align:center
got a lot of attention.

00:48:23.233 --> 00:48:25.944 align:center
-How do you feel about the exposure?
-You're jealous!

00:48:26.486 --> 00:48:29.156 align:center
I won't deny it looked fun.

00:48:29.656 --> 00:48:31.617 align:center
But how do you deal with that?

00:48:31.700 --> 00:48:33.327 align:center
Oh my God. I said,

00:48:33.410 --> 00:48:36.538 align:center
"Ronaldinho, who the hell
did you send that picture to?"

00:48:36.622 --> 00:48:37.748 align:center
Oh shit.

00:48:42.836 --> 00:48:45.631 align:center
Being able to mess around
with my friends and say,

00:48:45.714 --> 00:48:48.258 align:center
"You see this round thing
we call the world?"

00:48:48.342 --> 00:48:50.844 align:center
"I'm the fucking best there is in it!"

00:48:53.847 --> 00:48:56.558 align:center
We have a trip to Barcelona
on the 9th and 10th.

00:48:56.642 --> 00:48:59.019 align:center
We're gonna watch the Spanish derby.

00:48:59.102 --> 00:49:03.607 align:center
Then we have a game
in Georgia on the 16th.

00:49:04.107 --> 00:49:07.444 align:center
On the 18th,
maybe another event in Africa,

00:49:07.527 --> 00:49:08.820 align:center
and then Miami.

00:49:08.904 --> 00:49:11.907 align:center
On June 7th, we have
The Beautiful Lady match.

00:49:11.990 --> 00:49:13.492 align:center
-That'll be good.
-It will.

00:49:13.575 --> 00:49:14.701 align:center
I like that one.

00:49:15.702 --> 00:49:18.622 align:center
Today, the internet connects the world.

00:49:18.705 --> 00:49:23.251 align:center
People who never saw me play
admire what I've done.

00:49:23.877 --> 00:49:26.129 align:center
So I feel truly blessed.

00:49:27.005 --> 00:49:29.174 align:center
My brother, man, seriously…

00:49:29.257 --> 00:49:31.969 align:center
We're part of this story. Damn, bro.

00:49:32.052 --> 00:49:34.638 align:center
My brother fulfilled my dream.

00:49:35.472 --> 00:49:40.769 align:center
So, in a very special way,
I lived my dream along with him.

00:49:42.521 --> 00:49:43.855 align:center
May he never grow up.

00:49:43.939 --> 00:49:48.777 align:center
May he keep that childlike spirit
inside and out, that inner beauty.

00:49:51.738 --> 00:49:53.991 align:center
And love, because he's very affectionate,

00:49:54.074 --> 00:49:55.033 align:center
very loving.

00:49:55.117 --> 00:49:56.618 align:center
So he should never lose that.

00:49:58.370 --> 00:50:00.163 align:center
That almost ruined the party, huh?

00:50:00.247 --> 00:50:02.207 align:center
Game's not over, all have to go in.

00:50:05.127 --> 00:50:08.380 align:center
Now! Oh, it's never been easier!

00:50:14.094 --> 00:50:15.762 align:center
I was already accomplished.

00:50:16.596 --> 00:50:19.850 align:center
I didn't have to prove anything
to anyone anymore.

00:50:19.933 --> 00:50:22.019 align:center
I had no nothing left to achieve.

00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:25.188 align:center
That's when it started to get tiring.

00:50:28.150 --> 00:50:31.486 align:center
Finding motivation at a certain age…

00:50:32.571 --> 00:50:36.324 align:center
after having achieved everything, is hard.

00:50:41.830 --> 00:50:45.000 align:center
After winning the Copa Libertadores
with Atlético and leaving in 2014,

00:50:45.083 --> 00:50:47.544 align:center
Ronaldinho played nine months
for Querétaro in Mexico.

00:50:47.627 --> 00:50:49.212 align:center
In 2015, 9 games for Fluminense.

00:50:49.296 --> 00:50:50.964 align:center
After brief stints at several clubs,

00:50:51.048 --> 00:50:53.675 align:center
he officially retired
from professional soccer in 2017.

00:50:53.759 --> 00:50:55.594 align:center
Since his debut at Grêmio at just 17,

00:50:55.677 --> 00:50:59.222 align:center
Ronaldinho won
nearly every major title in soccer.

00:50:59.723 --> 00:51:00.682 align:center

FIFA WORLD PLAYER OF THE YEAR
2004 AND 2005

00:51:21.161 --> 00:51:23.789 align:center
Look at Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho is inside the box.

00:51:23.872 --> 00:51:27.334 align:center
This could be a goal. Goal!

00:51:27.417 --> 00:51:30.837 align:center
He was a genius
and he always kept his smile and his joy.

00:51:31.463 --> 00:51:33.840 align:center
Goal, Ronaldinho scores!

00:51:33.924 --> 00:51:35.050 align:center
My God! Look at this player!

00:51:35.133 --> 00:51:36.510 align:center
Ronaldinho!

00:51:37.094 --> 00:51:40.305 align:center
The magic he left
on every field will be eternal.

00:51:40.388 --> 00:51:41.973 align:center
Unbelievable!

00:51:42.557 --> 00:51:45.560 align:center
What would I say to Ronaldinho?
I'd say, uh, "Thanks for ruining my life."

00:51:49.356 --> 00:51:51.858 align:center
Ronaldinho wrote
one of the most beautiful stories

00:51:51.942 --> 00:51:53.235 align:center
in the world of soccer.

00:51:55.028 --> 00:51:56.571 align:center
I was very happy playing,

00:51:56.655 --> 00:51:59.908 align:center
and people say they were very happy
when they saw me play.

00:51:59.991 --> 00:52:01.910 align:center
So I just have to thank God.

00:52:01.993 --> 00:52:04.162 align:center
It was a wonderful career.

00:52:04.663 --> 00:52:06.581 align:center
It was there, written,

00:52:06.665 --> 00:52:10.752 align:center
"I will be one of the best players
in the world of soccer."

00:52:10.836 --> 00:52:12.003 align:center
And he was.

00:52:12.087 --> 00:52:13.129 align:center
That is all.

00:52:21.429 --> 00:52:25.809 align:center
Outside, inside, we don’t stop
Global, worldwide, we don’t stop

00:52:25.892 --> 00:52:28.228 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don’t stop

00:52:29.312 --> 00:52:31.356 align:center
RONALDINHO: THE ONE AND ONLY

00:52:31.439 --> 00:52:35.152 align:center
Outside, inside, we don’t stop
Global, worldwide, we don’t stop

00:52:35.235 --> 00:52:37.612 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don’t stop

00:52:37.696 --> 00:52:39.739 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don’t stop

00:52:39.823 --> 00:52:42.325 align:center
I’m ’bout to blow
Like a fully-loaded TEC-9

00:52:42.409 --> 00:52:44.619 align:center
Turn the lights out
Go and tell ’em “bedtime”

00:52:44.703 --> 00:52:47.038 align:center
Gotta steal the show everywhere we go

00:52:47.122 --> 00:52:49.416 align:center
Got a superego, but not a hero

00:52:49.499 --> 00:52:51.668 align:center
I keep the flow hot
Like it came from below

00:52:51.751 --> 00:52:54.129 align:center
The people say
“Oh, gee, man, he’s dope!”

00:52:54.212 --> 00:52:56.506 align:center
“He got a little swag
But I heard he’s broke”

00:52:56.590 --> 00:52:58.717 align:center
Money ain’t the thing
That brings me peace, though

00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:00.468 align:center
I’ve been lookin’ for more lately

00:53:00.552 --> 00:53:03.471 align:center
The cars and whores, daily
The like that you couldn’t afford, baby

00:53:03.555 --> 00:53:05.765 align:center
Just put some new hubs
On my new Accord, baby

00:53:05.849 --> 00:53:08.018 align:center
Got a determination
You couldn't reward, baby

00:53:08.101 --> 00:53:10.854 align:center
The vision don't come with ease
You gotta learn it

00:53:10.937 --> 00:53:13.148 align:center
Ain’t nothin’ in life free
You gotta earn it

00:53:13.231 --> 00:53:15.192 align:center
We the winners
It's already determined

00:53:15.275 --> 00:53:17.485 align:center
Bras on, a thousand degrees
I'm 'bout ta burn it

00:53:17.569 --> 00:53:21.865 align:center
Outside, inside, we don't stop
Global, worldwide, we don't stop

00:53:21.948 --> 00:53:24.034 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don't stop

00:53:24.117 --> 00:53:26.578 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don't stop

00:53:26.661 --> 00:53:31.041 align:center
Outside, inside, we don't stop
Global, worldwide, we don't stop

00:53:31.124 --> 00:53:33.543 align:center

We don't stop

00:53:33.627 --> 00:53:36.129 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don't stop

00:53:36.838 --> 00:53:39.049 align:center
Dress too sharp

00:53:39.132 --> 00:53:41.384 align:center

00:53:41.468 --> 00:53:43.261 align:center
Payend on me

00:53:43.345 --> 00:53:45.513 align:center
Green is natural colour
Let me paint ya

00:53:45.597 --> 00:53:47.682 align:center
A picture that's worth
More than a thousand words

00:53:47.766 --> 00:53:50.060 align:center
I'm so gifted, prolific
Don't miss it

00:53:50.143 --> 00:53:52.771 align:center
So different, who we care
There ain't no competition

00:53:52.854 --> 00:53:55.190 align:center
I got a proposition for my opposition

00:53:55.273 --> 00:53:57.442 align:center
Smooth at the horns when they comin'

00:53:57.525 --> 00:53:59.527 align:center
Beatin' like the man on the drummin'

00:53:59.611 --> 00:54:01.821 align:center
I am the light
If you wanna let the sun in

00:54:01.905 --> 00:54:04.241 align:center
I could make a hit
Like a boxer when he punchin'

00:54:04.324 --> 00:54:06.284 align:center
I could make a hit
Like a lineman runnin'

00:54:06.368 --> 00:54:08.954 align:center
To the kicker when he puntin'
You won't owe notin'

00:54:09.037 --> 00:54:11.248 align:center
No matter where we are
Aye, we runnin'

00:54:11.331 --> 00:54:13.333 align:center
Up, down, left or righ
It doesn't matter

00:54:13.416 --> 00:54:15.961 align:center
Outside, inside, we don't stop

00:54:16.044 --> 00:54:18.088 align:center
Global, worldwide
We don't stop (C'mon)

00:54:18.171 --> 00:54:20.131 align:center
From the bottom to the top
We don't stop

00:54:20.215 --> 00:54:22.425 align:center
From the birds to the block
We don't stop

00:54:22.509 --> 00:54:27.097 align:center
Outside, inside, we don't stop
Global, worldwide, we don't stop

00:54:27.180 --> 00:54:29.641 align:center
From the bottom to the top

00:54:29.724 --> 00:54:31.893 align:center
From the birds to the block

00:54:31.977 --> 00:54:34.437 align:center
Ay-yo, we don't

00:54:45.824 --> 00:54:46.866 align:center
I say, we don't…

(Alright)
