Ronaldo was honoured as Fifa's best player in the world in 1996, and many believe that he will be named European player of the year in 1997. He is Brazil's most talented player since the great Pelé.He started his professional career in 1990 with Social Ramos Club. In 1991 he moved to São Cristovão and stayed for two years. First division club, Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte heard of Ronaldo's brilliant skills and snapped him up in 1993. Ronaldo scored 54 goals in 54 games with Cruzerio. All of Europe were eager to get their hands on the young talent of Ronaldo, but PSV Eindhoven got him because another great Brazilian striker Romario told him that PSV is the most professional and best-organised club in Europe. Ronaldo became Holland´s top scorer with 35 goals in his first season with PSV Eindhoven. In 1996 he signed with FC Barcelona and scored 47 goals in just 49 games.Inter Milan were able to persuade the now well-known striker to become part of their team in 1997, by throwing around an extremely large amount of money. Renaldo is known as arguably the world greatest player, and will give the already hard-to-beat Brazilian National Team an even greater chance in France '98.
