Ronaldo de Assis Moreira

by Adam from Toronto, Ontario, Canada

My hero's Name is Ronaldo de Assis Moreira. Also known as Ronaldinho Gaúcho

Ronaldinho can be related to a ordinary person because he plays soccer, and is well known for his skills and tricks. Ronaldinho is also an ordinary person because he comes from a poor family where soccer has always been very present. His uncles, his father, his brother were all soccer players. Ronaldinho, who lived in such a talented backround, learned a great amount of soccer tricks and skills from them. He tried to devote himself to it more with the passage in time. Ronaldinho is also an ordinary person because he entered a soccer club in Vila Nova favela in his hometown of Porto Alegre when he was seven years old, he won almost every game with his amazing skills.

One extraordinary circumstance of Ronaldinho is, he is a two time FIFA World Player of the Year and the biggest star on a Brazil World Cup team which is full of great players. The second extraordinary circumstance is that Ronaldinho is worth a $100 million dollars because he almost single-handedly helped FC Barcelona's A team win the Champions' League title. Another extraordinary circumstance is that Ronaldinho and team Brazil played in the Olympics and the World Cup. They lost in the Olympics but came back stronger and more skilled in the World Cup which they won. Ronaldinho has played in about four clubs in his whole life, three as a pro. In his youth he palyed for Grêmio.


The odds stacked against Ronaldinho are when Brazil is losing they will allways depend on Ronaldinho to pull a trick out of his hat and score. When Ronaldinho was a boy, his father suffered a heart attack in his family pool and drowned. Ronaldinho does not look like a superstar but he his, its not about looks it how you play the game.


Ronaldinho prevails by playing on the Brazilian National team in the World Cup and winning the championship. He also prevails because he won the Champions' League on the team FC Barcelona in 2006.
