Former football star Ronaldinho Gaúcho took to social media this Sunday (12) to post a special tribute for Children’s Day, recalling his simple childhood and the love for football that marked the beginning of his victorious journey.
With a nostalgic and affectionate tone, the Brazilian idol highlighted the importance of keeping your smile and the will to dream, even as the years go by.
“When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was play ball, I didn’t really think about the future… I just wanted to be happy. As life goes on, we learn that this is the real secret: never lose your smile, nor your desire to dream. The ball is the best toy I could have ever received… happy Children’s Day to everyone who still has that sparkle in their eyes!” wrote Ronaldinho.
Considered one of the greatest talents in football history, Ronaldinho was twice named the best player in the world, in 2004 and 2005. He played for major teams such as Grêmio, PSG, Barcelona, Milan, Flamengo, Atlético-MG, and Fluminense, and was also a world champion with the Brazilian National Team in 2002.
