Brazilian legend Ronaldhino coming towards the end of his career has left Atletico Mineiro which everyone thought this was a sign of retirement. Considered one of the best 21st century soccer players and lifted up the World Cup trophy with his team is not just ready to call it quits.
He has had a very great career consisting of a World Cup title, bringing a league title to a team that has never won, and being crowned FIFA player of the year in 2004 and 2005. After looking back after his long career at many different teams (FC Barcelona, Athletico Mineiro, AC Milan, and Brazils international team) has decided that he still has a couple more chapters left in his book. Instead of being one of the free agents and not getting signed because of his age his brother says "I know his phone has been ringing a lot." This isn't only because of his stats teams know when you have a character like this on your team it ignites the fire.
When he was only 16 he has already played in two U-17 world cups for Brazil. In the three out of the four times he entered the World Cup with Brazil he came out a champion. He is recognized to be one of the most talented soccer players of all time. When he left Atletico it did not go unnoticed. His agent said "He will play until he's 42!" His agent is very sure of this and will reveal his future soon.
Me: Do you think Ronaldihno is one of the best Brazilian soccer players of his time?
Justin: Yes, he has proven his spot in the national team.
Me: Many think his career is coming to an end pretty shortly, do you believe he can play until he is 42?
Justin: No I think in a year or two he will call it quits on soccer.
In conclusion, Ronaldihno is a eccentric soccer player for his time. He has won many trophies, awards, and a 3 world cups. He is in concern of his age and will be expecting to retire very shortly. But as of now he will have many more great seasons in the future.
