The football player Ronaldinho from Brazil is a magician (魔术师) on the field. He looks one way while
passing another.
"God gives gifts to everyone," Ronaldinho, 26, once said. "Some can write, and some can dance. He
gave me football skill." The Barcelona star became FIFA's World Player of the Year for the second year
in a row in Switzerland (瑞士) on December 19.
At times Ronaldinho seems to reinvent football.
"I'm ugly but I've got charm," he jokes. "My game is all about improvisation (即兴发挥). I'm always
trying new dribbles (盘球). In training, I try new tricks. "
Coach Frank Rijkaard has fun watching Ronaldinho train. "When you're lucky enough to have a player
like that you give him freedom to do what he wants." Rijkaard said. "It's up to him whether he wants to go
left, right or middle. He just amazes me game after game."
Raised by his mother after his father died, Ronaldinho was the youngest of three children born in a
working family.
"I grew up in a happy, musical house. Music and football were my life." he said. "If I hadn't been a
footballer. I would have been a musician."
Ronaldinho began to learn his skills at an early age. "I always loved dribbling in the living room, around
the furniture or in the garden with my dog, " he once said.
