Cassano akhirnya pindah ke Juventus, nuker ama Adrian Mutu + duit

Cassano memang udah nga betah di Roma. Buat apa Roma mempertahankan pemain yang hatinya nga 100% buat klub. Pemain yang punya mentalitas jelek kayak gitu buat apa sih dipertahanin, biar aja jual ke Juventus, biar nanti dia bikin ribut di JUPENTUT

Player Profile: Ronaldinho Gaúcho
8/25/2005 5:11:00 PM
Ronaldo de Assis Moreira was born on March 21st 1980 in the southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre. The port is Rio Grande do Sul’s nerve centre, the biggest city in a state more famous for the cowboys that give the inhabitants their nickname: Gaúchos. Son of a welder (João; previously a footballer himself) and a nurse, little Ronaldo – or Ronaldinho – was one of three children born to the couple. To make ends meet, his father moonlighted as a security guard at a place that was to have crucial significance to two of his sons: the Grêmio stadium parking lot.

Porto Alegre splits down the middle when it comes to club support, loyalty to either Grêmio or arch-rivals Internacional dividing families and friends when the ball starts rolling. Rather than the ‘Big 4’ that splinters the cities of São Paulo (Corinthians, São Paulo, Santos and Palmeiras) and Rio de Janeiro (Flamengo, Vasco da Gama, Fluminense and Botafogo), the inhabitants of Porto Alegre are polarised. It’s either the ‘Colorado’ (coloured or painted – a reference to the blood-red Inter shirt) or the ‘Tricolor Gaúcho’ (referring to the white, black and powder blue stripes of the Grêmio jersey).

Ronaldinho’s elder brother, Roberto, had already been sniffed out by Grêmio talent scouts and was on the road to becoming an outstanding player but recurring injury problems forced him to call it a day at a relatively early age. This was a minor disaster was put into perspective by a tragedy that had previously rocked the family – João drowned in the pool behind the villa where Grêmio had moved the family as part of Roberto’s contract. Ronaldinho was only eight, and the event scarred the youngster for life.

His way of overcoming the tragedy was to lose himself in football, spending hours refining moves, juggles, passes and shots with his trademark absorption cracking into occasional smiles and giggles. It wasn’t long before Ronaldinho was wowing observers with an uncanny ball control and a natural ability to drive defenders wild with exasperation. Progress within the infant and junior sections of Grêmio was meteoric; Ronaldinho skipping through the various categories at breakneck speed much like Ronaldo had previously done in Cruzeiro.

Reaching seventeen, Ronaldinho was taken under the wing of his big brother – now also his manager – and went abroad to defend the seleção in the 1997 under-17 World Cup in Egypt. This was a watershed as Ronaldinho not only formed part of the winning squad, but was also voted MVP of the tournament. Success beckoned. Talent scouts began to dot the Olímpico Monumental stadium stands, and the first tentative offers for the young star began to roll into Grêmio’s offices.

PSV Eindhoven, which had somewhat of a tradition of being Brazilian stars’ landing strip in Europe after both Ronaldo and Romário exploded in the Dutch club, were one of the first to try. A seven million dollar offer was turned down flat by the Brazilian club, eager to capitalise fully on his rising stock. A 1998 professional contact was hurriedly put together by Grêmio’s legal eagles, but the longest they could bind him to the club was two years.

In 1999 Ronaldinho made his debut in the ranks of the professional team, exceeding expectations that were already high and going on to bag 14 goals in his first fifteen games. This established him as the top scorer in the Rio Grande do Sul State League – or ‘Gaúchão’ – and he tasted his first silverware as the now-famous lips met with both the championship trophy and the Rio Grande do Sul Cup.

This was such a high-profile calling card that Wanderley Luxemburgo, at that time the Seleção Coach, couldn’t avoid calling up Ronaldinho for the Paraguayan ‘Copa América’ of the same year. There he scored an anthological goal against Venezuela - lobbing one defender, leaving another looking as agile as a tortoise and humiliating the keeper with a sweet finish that earned him flattering comparisons with Pelé and constant replays on TV.

This only served to intensify the interest of European clubs as the juggling sequence and jaw-dropping finish was repeated in the old world. Grêmio even refused the mind-boggling amount of 75 million dollars offered by Leeds United, which would have set a new world transfer record back in the heady days of boundless optimism about TV rights. The 2000 season was to be his last in Brazil, Ronaldinho and his brother losing their patience with the Grêmio board’s refusal of all offers.

With his contract finished, Ronaldinho accepted a PSG offer and was soon bound for Paris. In spite of landing in the French capital in the spring of 2001, it would be August before his first official match, as a legal wrangle between Grêmio and his new employers over compensation for the player’s ‘formation’ in the Porto Alegre club ensued. His first match in France was against Auxerre, but fans had to wait to see the Brazilian’s first goal in the French league. PSG’s home at the ‘Parc des Princes’ was the stage for his first goal (against Lyon in an edgy 2-2 draw).

The 2000 FIFA Confederations Cup was a let-down on the collective front, but at least he earned the ‘golden boot’ with his six goals. When added to his nine goals in the Sydney Olympic games classification fixtures it became clear that Ronaldinho was elbowing his way into the seleção – like it or not. When Luxemburgo self-destructed in Australia, his successor Luis Felipe Scolari – ‘Felipão’ or ‘Big Phil’ – had it clear. Ronaldinho would be Romário’s heir. South Korea and Japan’s 2002 World cup saw Ronnie establish himself as a first-line seleção player.

His first goal against China was eclipsed by an unforgettable free-kick against England. David Seaman was caught out of position as he waited for a cross that never materialised – Ronaldinho saw the keeper advancing and didn’t hesitate to bang in a lob that saw a pony-tail flapping as the ball rippled the net. Cue joke. Q: “Who’s the raunchiest Brazilian stud?” A: “Ronaldinho, because he can lob semen (Seaman) from 30 yards out”. Boom, boom. The feat was only marred by a sending off that excluded him from the semi-final against Turkey.

Although his performance in the final against Germany was overshadowed by Ronaldo’s haircut and ‘pentacampeão’-winning brace, Ronaldinho returned to France as the choice object of desire of a number of elite European clubs. The following season with Paris Saint Germain was peppered with moves that flooded the net and popped up on a regular basis in Spanish footballing programmes. An ongoing conflict with hard-headed Coach Luis Fernandez saw Ronaldinho green-lighting his brother to prepare a move away from France.

His French adventure ended on a sweet-and-sour note as the last game he played in the red and blue of PSG was the lost Cup Final against – coincidentally – his first opponent in France: Auxerre, but he was finalising a move south to don another red and blue jersey: the ‘blaugrana’ of Barça. Their flamboyant new President, lawyer Joan Laporta, needed a flagship player for his mandate – someone who could bolster the soured fans after five seasons of empty-handed performances and embarrassing tomfoolery in the club offices.

The first choice was David Beckham, Laporta giving a press conference explaining that the ManU star would start a ‘virtuous circle’ in the club by selling enough shirts to cancel out the monstrous debts inherited from the incautious and unsuccessful days of Joan Gaspart. This was a tactic clearly borrowed from Madrid’s Florentino Perez after the Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo recipe had baked a mountain of dough for the Merengues. Perez returned the compliment by snapping Becks up, and, so far, Barcelona fans have been the winners as Laporta defaulted to Ronaldinho.

Alex Ferguson was on the verge of announcing his signing, but Ronnie went to Catalunya on July 20th 2003, preferring the Barça offer after balking at the climatic ‘delights’ of Lancashire. The transfer was valued at approximately thirty million dollars, covering a five-year contract. His first season was variable; a first half to forget with both Ronnie and new Coach Frank Rijkaard getting flak for an appalling series of matches, but a glorious second half as Real Madrid went into supernova, letting Barça overtake the arch-rivals and Valencia lift the league trophy.

Ronaldinho himself – whilst unable to hoist the League, King’s Cup, Champions League or even the ‘Copa Catalunya’ – received his first homage: the EFE trophy that rewards the best South American player of the Spanish championship. His fourteen goals in thirty matches, precise goal assist passes and celebrated juggles had found a public that clamoured for more and a Coach that would let his creativity run free.

The 2004-5 season was his crowning glory. Ronaldinho had gained enough muscular mass to take on even the most physical marking that could be thrown at him, his confidence was at an all-time high and the squad was reinforced with players designed to facilitate his work. Samuel Eto’o was pooh-poohed by Florentino for not being ‘galactic’ enough and revelled in a move to the arch-rivals in order to prove his worth. Deco came as Mourinho’s Champion League-winning Porto side was dismantled with Ludovic Giuly coming from runners-up Monaco.

The rest is now history as Barcelona went on to conquer ‘La Liga’ and Ronaldinho rounded off his most successful year to date by steering the seleção towards the Confederations Cup 2005 as well as revealing that he was the proud father of a baby boy. Although he’s keeping the mother’s identity under wraps, he has confirmed that she’s a dancer for a Brazilian TV channel. His son, however, was identified by a grinning Ronaldinho. Named after Dinho’s fondly-remembered father, João will no doubt have many goals dedicated both to him and his namesake. Perhaps even the World Cup 2006?
