From my webserver logs, I know that lots of people are coming here from search engines, doing queries like “ronaldinho video” just because some time ago I posted here a link to a video of Ronaldinho scoring a fantastic goal against Chelsea in last season’s UEFA Champions League.
Today I want to give those people some more fun stuff to download. Here’s a video (from Nike’s site) of Ronaldinho doing some incredible things with a football. So incredible that many believe the video to be a fake, computer generated or such. I have some doubts myslelf but if it’s really a fake, it’s very good.Well, judge by yourself.
Yeah, some looks fake, but it could be real. I especially like how they make you watch him put on the PRODUCT for half the film in concentrated anticipation of what follows!
hi, great video bloody grouse, i just wanted to say dat im from melbourne and my names rashid mahazi and i play for futsal and outdoor victoria, i really want to go to europe and try out for a team over there but we dont have much money at all, like my dad is basikly unimployed because he’s from kenya and my mum is just a nurse.Anyway cool video
NO WAY DAT STUFF IS REAL, OMG
IF THAT IS REAL….. I WILL CRY!!!!!
Congratulations NIKE…. this must be one of the smarties publicity stunt from NIKE.
I think this Ronaldinho lad has some skill, but he’ll never be as good as me. I invented them old tricks when I was 11!
Keep practising son, one day you might become half the man I am today.
Zinedine Zidane
Im a barça fan and obviously a fan of Ronaldinho. Unfortunately after studying the video frame by frame. I have found that it is a fake. On one occasion when he hits the ball, it hits the bar on the right hand side, then the next frame shows the ball on the left hand side of the bar as it bounces back.
I know hes good, but even he cant do it for real!
I can however!!!!
It´s all real!!! I taught him to do that that´s how I know it´s real….
É um efeito especial, pois se trata de um comercial da Nike. Não devemos acreditar em tudo que vemos na TV. Como eu sempre digo: toda propaganda é enganosa. E a televisão “emburrece” o cidadão.
it s real not fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi to all,
I’m Hagi the Romanian and I’m telling you that like Zidane said those tricks are from us the Golden Generation, he just stoled them.
I do those tricks when I’m training in my graden.
Have Fun!
zizou es el mejor jugador del mundo
This is Grandissimo…….of course he is not Maradona…….but it’s Great!
You can see this is fake, just see how the ball geth returned, and its impossible to geth the ball exatly back where u standing 4 times in a row. The ball is round!
It’s fake
Somebody has been there to trow the ball back to Ronaldinho.
But Nike says that he hit the goal twice.
yes, it is fake.
look here.:

My brother Miha broke his light leg trying to repeat tricks from that video. I’ll sue you Nike!!!
Wazza!!!
I’m from Romania!! I don’t think is real. The direction when the ball hits the goal it’s the same in every shot. It’s impossible to do something like this. I admit I am a fun of Ronaldinho…..but like this,no!I will be conviced when I see him doing this in my face. I think he is the best player in the world. Hagi rules!!!!
hola, les digo a todos que ronaldinho es el mejor jugador que he visto. Acabo de ver lo que dijo hagi y es lamentable devido a que él no triunfo en el barÇa como hoy lo hace ronaldo de asis. Nisiquiera Diego maradona triunfó en el barça como ronaldinho y el mismo dijo que es el mejor de todos por algo muy simple “el disfruta de lo que hace” esa fueron sus palabras. Hay que tenerlas en cuenta.
What’s the big deal? I’ve seen many people do the same thing? Nike sucks big time, this cannot save them.
Sorry, forgot to underline: Ronaldinho is the ultimate ruler of the green field!
The video is part real and part fake. Watch closely and you’ll be able to see what I mean.
His first shot that hits the crossbar is completely real. You can notice ALL parts of the netting move when the ball his the crossbar… which is expected Watch closely and you’ll see.
Now, for the last couple, if you watch extremly closely, the netting doesn’t move at all when the ball hits the bar.
Obviously I still believe Ronaldinho is the worlds top player and I put the no-net-movement aside when I watch it.
It’s just so cool!
Hi, the video is not real, if you look carefully, frame by frame, backward, there are some errors on it, some missplaced frames, in every four shots. Maybe he hit the crossbar, but in none of the four shots, the ball returns in the way the video shows.
Of course, it’s a very good and creative publicity.
FUCK ME!it looks awesome but its for sure a fake though hes the best player in the world!
But awesome spot from nike again…as always!

that is stupid its imposible to make those moves

————————————-
Thank you Kyle, you’re right man. Well solved.
you guys are all a bunch of dumbasses! Do you even know how Ronaldinho is?! Its not fake? He is the most talented soccer player in the world. He can do those things in his sleep. So dont be a dumbass and say its fake. Your just jealous because you cant do that. So shut your pie holes and in joy.
I have just read nike’s information about this video, and they said, that only two times were real, another two times helped out with computer.
it can be fake.. but he is ronaldinho and we aren’t
ENGLISH VERSION
Its very clearly dat Ronaldinho is a super player and i belive hes capable of doin so, of course it cant de done so many times and with dat accuracy. The football is a compositing thing, this means its 3D, just at a naked eyed u can see some shadow under it, the light of the ambient’s not the same dat has the ball when its shoted at top speed (i do 3D and know how to do that things). Did someone had seen the “Shaolin Soccer” movie?, OOH! its a great movie(dont remember the year of da film) nice 3d effects, not comparable with the renders of this video (a lot of budget of course).
Notice how the ball change the tone of the environment and the type of shadow of the underpart just one frame after being hit and one before it touches his body, dont let yourselfs go with the fantasy.
GREETINGS!!!
SPANISH VERSION
Es muy claro que Ronaldinho es un super jugador y creo que es capaz de hacerlo, claro que no se puede hacer tantas veces y con esa presición. El balón está puesto por compositing, esto quiere decir que sí es 3D, se ve a simple vista como el balón tiene cierta sombra debajo de el, y la luz del ambiente no es la misma que tiene el balón cuando este sale a toda velocidad (Yo hago 3D y se como se hacen estas cosas). Alguien vió alguna vez la película de “SHAOLIN SOCCER”, es una muy buena película (no recuerdo el año del filme) que tiene buenos efectos, no comparables con los renders de este video (que tiene mucho presupuesto ¡PORSUPUESTO!).
Fíjense cómo el balón cambia de tono y de sombreado de la parte baja un cuadro después de ser golpeado y uno antes de tocar su cuerpo, no se dejen llevar por la fantasía. SALUDOS!!!
RONALDINHO DESERVES OUR FASCINATION OF WHAT HE DOES.
I am the guy who did the nike video, Ronaldinho never was there and i was having my face all dyed with BLUE color(same as the movies).
The blue color was to put the face of Ronaldinho instead of mine, and the ball is not real. Well kids the video is FAKE!! TRUST ME.
Well, first of all MARADONA is the best player ever….. followed very very near by Ronaldinho and Titi Henry (did you see him playing, dude he dances with the ball) well (let`s focus on the chat)…
I think the video is real, eccept for when e shoots the ball against the vcrossbar 4 times in a row………. SORRY GUYS IT’S FAKE
anyway AGUANTEN LIONEL MESSI Y EL KUN AGUERO (con estos 2 en el mundial les hacemos el or…)
(for englishmen in NEW YORK) ith these two cracks we will kick your butt in the world championship
He is incredible player,and he will be the best player for the next four years.Someone told me that this video is fake, but if he can hit the post from corner,he surely can hit the crossbar 4 times.
i love you ronaldinho you are a tallest star whom i never saw
It’s real, just like I am
Hey everyone, this is a fake video I belive. But If you look closely you can see other players training in the background. I do belive Ronaldhino is very talented player, but this is ridicolous.
After seeing the clip a number of times in slow motion i see that it is fake. Ronaldinho is great but there is no way a person can do that. After all he is human. Maradona who is without doubt the greatest footballer of all time wouldnt be able to do that. I do believe that he did hit the bar a couple times though. But four no way. The ball comes back to him without even hitting the bar. And the net doesnt even move for some of the shots. And they zoom out when he hits the bar. I wonder why. The path pf the ball cant even be seen. When see closely the ball apears from no one whet it comes back to him. This can be easily seen. If ronaldino was doing this i think the players on the backround would wanna see it and stop their training for a small moment of time. They are obviously just put there to make it all seem real. This is without a doubt a publicity stunt. At least what maradona did was for real. Please nike if ronaldinho is to be known as the greatest of all time let him show it for real. He has potential but whether he does it only time will tell. For now maradona is by far the best the world has ever seen. Let face reality. No one can execute a ball so perfeclty and have it returned so easily back. I wanna see real magic not fake magic. Whether its real or fake. Well it doesnt need to be said. Its too obvious. I wanna see real soccer. BYEEEE
this is fake, it’s a wel made trick of the eye, the trails of the bar when travelling to the cross bar, and the slight pause and immediate hault of speed when the ball is less than a metre away from ronaldinho. i’ve seen better like how basketball prodigé lebron james nails 4 full court shots, if he could do that all the time, why would he need to run ANYWHERE? the same with ronaldinho, if he had that much accuracy, y not shoot from half way line everytime?
well ronaldinho is good how to control the ball. the video looks very cool..
maradona?????
all the best player ever????
Hey guys… are u crazy?
smoking some south american “marijuana”?
There are a lot of football players much better that your “maradona”.
Ask any one over the world who’s still the best player. Some world places not even knows who has been maradona.
If you watch the Pele biography video you’ll got this reply.
In fact, only Pele has been only capable to STOP a war just to see its match.
The World knows only 30% of Pele’s playing career, just because at that time has no medias as currently. But if you search carefully will see I’m correct.
Anyway, I can see clearly that Ronaldinho is the only player in the world with skill’s capable to arrive at the reign of Pele.
Ronaldinho is my favorite player and he are the best of the world.he are best of: ZINEDINE ZIDANE, RONALDO, ADRIANO, ROBINHO, TITI HENRY. RONALDINHO is el maestro of the world……
IT’S A FAKE !!!
it’s a nike’s commercial… it isn’t real… it was made by computer
did u see others nike’s commercials? are they real? so ?
ps: Maradona is the best player in the world by far…
hello all
i just wanted to say to those who say that maradona would not be able to do this… well maradona did this and people at nike were fascinated with it so they got ronaldinho to do it..
so dont underestimate maradona he is the greatest and he did hit the post 4 times…
come on people do some research
and a good day to ya
Ronaldinho is an absaloute wizard on the ball, no matter if this video is fake or real, he is still a genius with the ball. Maradonna is most probably the best player ever, but I wouldn’t know I have heard that pele was supposed to be an alright player, but I was not born in his time so would not know. Ronaldinho is definatly the best at the moment!
FANTASTIC, that movie is real!
Who are those stupid people trying to compare Maradona or whatever to to THE GREAT RONALDINHO? Vlada is right if he can hit the post from corner he can also hit the crossbar 10 times
The first one when he hits it is fake, the ball is going too slow for the balls to come back like that, the second one is real and so is the forth the third is fake as well.
Je suis parisien et j’ai eu l’honneur de voir jouer cet extraterrestre de la planète football avec les couleurs de mon équipe, ce fut 2 année extraordinaire!!!! MERCI RONNY
IT’s the freaking best video i’ve ever seen. HI irapuato GTO.
who cares if it’s real or not…. the video is just brilliant, as is Ronaldinho
yeah your skill is real but have you scored as many goals as me?
i think you are rubbish i am better than you
na chris kerr is much better the true legend of football
Ronaldinho is good but admitted that he still has alot to learn. He cannot be compared to maradona who is in a totally different class. Diego is the greatest of all time and Ronaldinho can only wish to emulate Maradona.
it is fake tim lovejoy`s one on soccer AM is real not ronald no one
Quote Qasim:
“Diego is the greatest of all time and Ronaldinho can only wish to emulate Maradona.”
Naaa… Tell me what that maradona does. Give me the facts. I can see only 4… may be 5 good plays from him.
For me, its only looks like a set of normal performances like many other players do (just like Zidane and Ronaldo).
I also see a guy (maradona) with personality doubtful and a full life of problems and confusions. A guy with expensives defects (like doppings and drugs). The way he took its life is a shame to the great players you are trying to compare it with. A shame to all the athletes in the world. IT IS NOT AN EXAMPLE OF A GOOD FOOTBALL PLAYER !!! Sorry Guys. That is!
For those idiots defending maradona, I challenge you to show me something proving anything bad in Ronaldinho’s life.
BTW, if you want to know the truth with the Nike Video, watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/w/Ronaldinho-Secret-Unveil?v=XoJD-BCm8tM&eurl
Hello everyone.
I am from Azerbaijan and I’m a futsal player. But a great watcher of all the football matches in Europe. I’d like to say, that Maradona is not comparable with Ronaldinho. Ronnie is an alien. He is extra talanted.
About MARADONNA: He was a good player, even a great player for his time. Soccer is developing in all countries with more and more temps each year. Nowadays even the forward players come back and help defence. I think everyone has seen the best goal of the World Cups scored by Maradonna. Look at that: even the defenders are just watching Maradonna to go and score it, as if it doesn’t matter them at all. Funny…
About Ronaldinho: This “alien” has many qualities:
1. dribbling
2. scoring one-to-one
3. flashlike speed
4. such a body balance as when a player try to push him, he fells himself
5. exact long and short passes
6. tactical dribbling
7. High jump
8. Header
9. fantastic tricks , especially flip-flap, and reverse flip-flap (could Maradonna do it???)
10. Free kicks and Penalties scorer
… and many-many others…
Does any player have all these qualities? No, Only Messi is to be a pretendent for that, if he will go on this way…
So that’s why, comrades, don’t ever say, that Ronnie has to become as Maradonna. RONALDINHO HAS LEFT MARADONNA BACK EVEN WHEN HE WAS 20 YEARS OLD!!!
And about video, I believe it’s fake, b’cause it’s an advert. And lot’s of detail’s, told by friends here made me sure that it is fake…
Ronaldinho magic man . 1 show man to world.
I am a professional soccer player and I can tell you that this video is so fake! I challenge him (Ronaldinho) if he can do this before a real game when he worms up. Ok one simple thing if there is any one on this earth can do that then it is all over.
YOU ARE GREAT PLAYER BUT AFTER ROMARIO IN BRAZIL
I THINK ROMARIO AND RONALDINHO ARE BETTER THAN PELE
BUT NOBODY COMES SIMMILIAR MARADONA
i believe so far that the video is not a fake a rather find a touch of instinct in the player a magic instinct i say this because i have done it myself but i did it before watching this video and i did it in the park agaist an enormous tree the trick is simple… (precise exerted force of hit upon the ball and velocity direction (knowing how to hit the ball to give it pricise direction) GUESS WHAT ? for some reason in physics when you apply accurate force and direction the ball comes right back to the body from wich the force was exerted
something kina like when your mad throw something anywhere comes right back to your face lol like that but you also need to be onfire to do it and have all your instincts very alert!!
ola ronaldinho espero que ganes el mundial y pides saludo a mi primito cesar y seas el mejor jugador de brazil vueno chaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
i think the best footballer is GEORGE HAGİİİİİİİ… he’s wonderfull.
This is crazy stuff haha ranaldinho is by far the best player that ever lived and that stuff he did in the video cant be real and if it is im shocked
This is not a fake! why do you think he is the best player in the world? He is the best player in the world, because of that skill. I read that someone said it wouldn’t come back because the ball is round. If it hits an object with that speed the ball will not be round, but pushed into a flat shape.
I think ronaldinho better than me.I just wanna feel and cheri cheri lady.I hate lampard
ronaldinho is the best!

Did you put blue paint all over your body? HAHA got ya there! Ronaldinho is black (not being racist) and if you are whit you would have to put blue paint all over your body. I think the 1st 2 times are real but the other two are just the ball being caught and another one thrown back to him.
Cool boots though lol and nice gold case to comwe with it. Wish i earned 200k a week….
Hey every1….the video is real!!!…it is possible to do that, but yea….u hav to be extra special…i watched da making of da advert……and he missed so many times….(but they wont show dat will they)…He did do it but they onli show the times he hits the bar…thanx guyz….and trust me….its real..100%..i think he is a well decent player…and people put him down jus couse hes betta then every1

ur legend of football robinho
its real n the man is gud yall shud just admit it wat he got is PURE TALENT that veri few peepul hav giv him sum credit
Well, no one expected Ibrahimovic to kick a gum a few times and then put it back in his mouth… But i would say this video is fake because if he really has done it, he wouldn´t have any problems in score every free kicks, which doesn´t happen.
well well; lets see. some of u guys are wrong, because i have met ronaldinho when i was at training camp in brazil. so the point is that things like tricks are true perfomance from dinho, he did those tricks in front of me.
if he wasnt born a human, he would have born a ball.
u foolish people its true, there is no mirror and if there was im sure the sun would reflect off it… duhh
its true video
Hallo Ronaldinho is the best this is the best player of the world and this is real Ronaldinho you just look by me zeas good bye

Ronaldinho is a great player but is not yet a legend.
this video is badman. ronaldinho is the best player in the world by far.

RONALDINHO ES EL MEJOR DE LA HISTORIA Y LO SIGUE SIENDO
HI i think this video is fake cuz of a couple of reasons
1- if you look at the second shot ver very closely he volleys the ball down in the goal and the ball shoots from cross bar up to him
2-also if you look at this time 1:40 through 1:58 it looks as though ronaldinho appears to be in a green room or something…there is just something wrong
3- also nike even said on their website only 2 of the shots were real
4-at the time of 1:32 through 1:34 the ball dissapears and it looks like he is just putting his legs up and down and pretending
if this video is to be real ill be shocked and i would want to ask him why he doesnt shoot with that mad accuracy every time he plays
GREATEST SOCCER PLAYERS EVER IN MY OPINION
1-pele= he helped brazil win 3 world cups
2-maradona= helped win argentina 1 world cup and had the greatest WC goal ever.
IF YOU DONT NOW RONALDINHO IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE YOU R DOM .I AM 1 OF HIS BEST FANS HE IS NUMBER 1.HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW Ronaldinho is awsome no one cant beat him
Ronaldinho is the best Brazil player and i think he should come to Manchester United because he can show Chelsea who is the boss. Manchester United will be unbeatable in the Premiership, Champions League and the F.A. Cup.
I think this video is really pimp and that many people who watch this video think its fake but i can tell you its not, you could tell because Ronaldinho is a great player who ill tell you deserves much credit for his skills, and i want to be just llike him
can u do every single move
ronaldinho o melhor do mundo desde paraguay
es lindo verle jugar a ronaldinho hace tiempo no salen este tipo de jugadores y en paraguay creo q nunca saldran porq aca solo salen jugadores duros con temperamento asuncion paraguay
This video is fake yes, Ronaldinho has confirmed that later, and nike though. But the 2 first shots are real yes, but the 2 next ones is animated, and a guy inside the goal is throwing the balls back to Ronaldinho, of course they have cutted him out of the film
i believe that this video is real although what paul says may be true
does it matter if its real? its a great advertisement. but just for arguement, its not real. IM sure he can hit the bar a few times, but not like that. if he could do that on purpose, he would never ever miss a shot. but he does miss. did anyone see his amazing move against villareal. that was incredible, and he did hit the bar. i bet he wasn’t aiming for the bar though…
I am a woman and this advertisment means for me: with such shitty shoes (i believe it is not NIKE?) you never score a goal…
no sean enbidiosos que ronaldinho es el #uno
ronaldinho i want to meet you if you have a messenger call me . i am your #i fan
WOW, if thats real i would be amazed.
However claims to be Zidane i know your are not really

hi
im mehrad and im a big fan of ronaldinho
i know this video is real because i believe in ronaldinho and i know he can do it
he is incredible

he is wonderfull
maradona dont underestimate me because i can beat in in soccer and all the people not it including my fans but excluding you .take care all my fans and have a great day
the best footballer
his the best on skill and am the next one
Pele is the best, Maradonna would have been if it hadn’t been for the drink and drugs
Shows that it’s possible for a decent player to hit the crossbar regularly from this distance:
