Features: This book tells the story of a football idol—Ronaldinho—whose life had never been fully open to the public before. It does not reveal his most private thoughts or any unacceptable ideas, but it is absolutely an interesting biography. The chapters about the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup might particularly catch your attention. This book will tell you what Ronaldinho is really like, where his fondness for luxury comes from; how someone born into poverty but who became a millionaire before turning 20 deals with all these changes? Ronaldinho's life is like a TV series, though the plot and characters may seem familiar, his unique life and dialogue make it exciting. His experiences bear the marks of the 1990s' business tycoons, something never seen before in the world of football. His life is filled with ups and downs, even a touch of violence, which may interest both his fans and critics. However, Ronaldinho's outstanding football skills remain the most important factor in him becoming a football idol—he makes opponents smell danger the moment he steps onto the field; his performance even leads people to wonder if he has ever taken banned substances; any fluctuations in his career stir the hearts of fans and spark fierce discussions. Ronaldinho is a mysterious figure; he may seem unremarkable throughout the game, but in the crucial minutes, he suddenly unleashes immense energy, completely destroying his opponents. His ability to pose such a threat confuses experts and makes young fans obsessed with him. Off the field, Ronaldinho is gentle, but on the pitch, he is an exceptionally aggressive "killer" who ignores any defenders. He is the world's greatest player, yet still approachable—he seems to be telling everyone, "If I can do it, so can you!"
