When Ronaldo started playing, he didn’t hide his great idol in world football was Zico. Time goes by and now I read an interview to spanish paper As and got really surprised to notice that
three best players he has ever seen are Zidane, Van Basten and Maradona.
I would understand Ronaldo’s new point of view if I had not heard him repeating his admiration for Zico. He didn't mention Romário too, a great partner years ago in brazilian national
team.
Zico is among the best brazilian players of all time. His greatness is undeniable and he will always be remembered by his sharpness and wonderful speed. He is the player who made the little
Ronaldo dreamed about being a star. But it looks like he was abandoned by his former fan.
Romario is going to score his goal number 1000 and I haven’t heard a word from Ronaldo. Milan’s forward is quiet and has not sent a message to congratulate him. Even Pelé did
it. In this case, there is an explanation.
After France 1998, Romario expected Ronaldo’s support before he was cut out of the national squad by Zagallo. It didn’t happen at all.
Since Ronaldo was elected best player of the world for the third time, something has change in his personality. He is not smiling anymore and became a bitter man. If you boo him because, he complains about it. He is sacked by an important match and reacts blaming the coach. Brazil’s presidente jokes about his weigh and Ronaldo calls him a drunker.
In fact, the Fat One acts like a little child. The youngest brother who is always trying to get attention from his parents. He never addmits his weakness, but reacts excessively angry with anyone who try to give him a piece of advise.
Ronaldo doesn’t need to act like that. He’s a world champion and now holds a personal record as the greatest World Cup scorer of all times. He is only 30, has money, a lot of money, and is
widely recognized by people around the world.
So, what’s the matter with him?
Really wirdo, Bittenca. Zico was always his idol. Maybe something happened. I don't. Hope the newspaper got it right too. And Ronaldo scored twice against porr Japan in the World Cup... Zico, himself, had a reason to hate him.. hehe

maybe he just needs to win the champions league? ;)
romario i can understand, because romario himself has quite an abrasaive personality, and doesn't always seem to have good relations with his teammates.
zico was a great player, but ronaldo has also grown up and knows now what football is all about, so he can judge the greatness from a different perspective maybe? zizou is in a class by himself
