Stu1993 101 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It was announced today that recently retired Brazilian legend Ronaldo will be the Guest of Honour at the upcoming international friendly between Brazil v Scotland, hosted at Emirates Stadium on Sunday 27th March.The world-famous striker, who led Brazil to World Cup glory in 1994 and 2002, recently called time on his illustrious 18 year career which saw him play football in several high profile European clubs including Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and AC Milan. Incredibly Ronaldo scored 352 goals in 515 club appearances and an impressive 62 goals in 97 games for his national team which included an unprecedented and unrepeated 15 goals in World Cup finals.Organisers are expecting a near sell-out crowd to see the game and watch Ronaldo make his last European appearance in a Brazil shirt as he is presented to both sets of fans before the game. He will also be presented as Chief Guest to both teams, including Brazil whose line up includes rising Chelsea star David Luiz and Inter Milan stars Julio Cesar and Maicon.Ronaldo remarked: “One of my favourite footballing memories is of the opening game of the 1998 World Cup in Paris against Scotland and the fantastic Scottish fans so I am very excited to be experiencing a Scotland Brazil match once again.”Craig Levein, Scotland manager expressed his excitement at the prospect of Ronaldo’s imminent visit: “Undeniably Ronaldo is one of the players who defined a generation; his performances on the international stage have changed the face of football and his attendance at this game adds immeasurably to the prestige of what is already shaping up to be a historic game.”The clash is the latest highlight of the Brazil World Tour which has seen the Seleção play Argentina and France. Kick off is set for 2pm UK time and is the first meeting between the two sides since the curtain raiser to the 1998 FIFA World Cup, in which the defending champions won 2-1.Tickets can still be bought via www.arsenal.com/brazilvscotland or via 0844 277 3625. Tickets start from just £30 and are available now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theweebluenose 4,343 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The real Ronaldo was just a joy to watch, he always looked like he was enjoying himself out on the park and was really a likeable player unlike the imposter Ronaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SandyWATP Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I was actually close to a tear during the video! Strikers like him don't exist anymore - fast, powerful and an unbelievable ability to go past players.It's quite saddening to think that he hit his peak at 20, imagine - injury free - what he could have become.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 It saddens me that he is now referred to as 'the fat Ronaldo'.He is fat though to be fair.He was sheer power never seen a guy his size run so fast with the ball at his feetOne of the best of all time IMO, CR won't come close to this guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Best striker I have ever seen.On his day when he had no injuries restricting him he was unplayable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing i noticed most was he used to drag his feet alot.Its amazing to think that we almost got him to come to The Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
