Biography

Ronaldinho was born Ronaldo de Assis Moreira on March 21, 1980, in Porto Alegre, Brazil. His father, João Moreira, was a former professional soccer player who also worked as a welder in a shipyard, and his mother, Miguelina de Assis, was a cosmetics saleswoman who later became a nurse.

Ronaldinho’s older brother, Roberto Assis, was also a professional soccer player; Ronaldinho was surrounded by soccer from the day he was born. “I come from a family where soccer has always been very present,” he says.

“My uncles, my father, and my brother were all players. Living with that kind of background, I learned a great deal from them. I tried to devote myself to it more and more with the passage of time.”

In particular, Ronaldinho idolized his father. “He was one of the most important people for me and in my career, even though he died when I was very young,” he says.

(João Moreira suffered a fatal heart attack when Ronaldinho was 8 years old.) “He gave me some of the best advice I’ve ever had. Off the field: ‘Do the right thing and be an honest, straight-up guy.’ And on the field: ‘Play soccer as simply as possible.’

He always said one of the most complicated things you can do is to play it simple.” He used to operate for such football clubs as Grêmio, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Milan, Flamengo, and Atletico Mineiro
