Brazilian striker known as Ronaldo started his European career with PSV Eindhoven, where he quickly gained recognition for impressive technical skills, dribbling at high speed, large amount of goals he used to score and how he made it look easy to score.
Later he moved to FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and later AC Milan - in each he made his mark. But the fame he gained at the beginning of his career put extra strain on his future - defenders were under pressure to stop him at any cost, which causes injuries that was keeping him away from the field. Another of his problems was constant struggle with weight problems - after almost each of the season breaks he returned to clubs with few extra pounds and had to reduce mass at the beginning of the season.
