AC Milan and FC Barcelona have reached an
agreement for the transfer of Ronaldinho to
the Rossoneri's club. Tomorrow the player
will be in Milan for the medical and to sign
the contract which will tie him to Milan
until June 30th 2011.
Ronaldo de AssÃs Moreira (born March 21,
1980 in Porto Alegre), commonly known as
Ronaldinho or Ronaldinho Gaucho[2], is a
Brazilian footballer who plays for La Liga
side FC Barcelona and the Brazil national
team.
Ronaldinho, meaning "little Ronaldo," is
better known in Brazil by the nickname
Ronaldinho Gaúcho, in order to distinguish
him from Ronaldo, who was already called
Ronaldinho in Brazil. Ronaldo simply went by
his first name upon his move to Europe,
thereby allowing Ronaldinho to drop the
"Gaúcho" and remain simply as Ronaldinho.
Among his many achievements and accolades,
Ronaldinho is a two-time winner of the FIFA
World Player of the Year, European Footballer
of the Year and FIFPro World Player of the
Year awards.[3]His contract with FC Barcelona
runs until 2010,[4] and he became a
naturalized Spanish citizen in January
2007.[5]
Ronaldo de Assis Moreira was born in Porto
Alegre, a city in the Rio Grande do Sul
region of Brazil. His mother, Miguelina, is a
former salesperson who later studied to
become a nurse. His father, João, was a
shipyard worker and footballer for Cruzeiro,
and suffered a fatal heart attack when
Ronaldo was eight. After Ronaldo's older
brother, Roberto, signed with Grêmio, the
family moved to a more affluent home in Porto
Alegre, which was a gift from Gremio to
convince Roberto to stay at the club.
Roberto's career was ultimately cut short by
injury.
Ronaldo's football skills began to blossom at
an early age, and he was first given the
nickname Ronaldinho because he was often the
youngest and the smallest player in youth
club matches.[6] He developed an interest in
futsal and beach football, which later
expanded to organized football, and his first
brush with the media came at the age of
thirteen, when he scored all 23 goals in a
23-0 victory against a local team.[7]
Ronaldinho was identified as a rising star at
the Egypt 1997 under-17 world championship,
in which he scored two goals on penalty
kicks.[8][9]
Today, Roberto acts as Ronaldinho's manager,
while his sister, Deisi, works as his press
coordinator.[10][11] Ronaldinho became a
father for the first time on February 25,
2005, after Brazilian dancer JanaÃna
Nattielle Viana Mendes gave birth to their
son, who was named João after Ronaldinho's
father.[12]
