Ronaldinho a.k.a The Magician

Remember Ronaldinho? The 2-times World Player of The Year. While other footballers are busy preparing themselves ahead of the new season, he is looking for a new club after terminating his contract with Atletico Miniero in Brazil.

Let's look back at his brief background to see how far he has gone to achieve legendary status in the football world. His full name is Ronaldo de Assis Moreira. 'Ronaldinho' is a nickname that shows the meaning of a 'small' or a 'young' Ronaldo as he was always the youngest one in whichever teams he played for, during his childhood. Such was his super ability even at a young age.

Starting from Gremio, the journey to PSG, Barcelona, AC Milan, Flamengo and Atletico Miniero confirmed his status as one of the best footballers ever on the planet. The triumph of Brazil's 2002 World Cup comprising him, Ronaldo and Rivaldo dubbed as '3R' added to his already glittering trophy cabinet. Barcelona should thanked Ronaldinho for the success that he restarted, long before the era of tiki-taka. Lionel Messi should be really grateful to learn from a great master.

There will never be a shortage of clubs lining up to sign him now, even at the golden age of 34. He still got the wonderful techniques, the freekicks, the no-look passes, the 'Elastico' and more importantly the commercial values that his name brings. English Premier League teams will be hopeful that they can realize Ronaldinho's dream to play there one day before he finally hanged his precious boots forever.
