Twice FIFA World Player of the Year - Ronaldinho and his achievements
Author: Jill Woods

The famous Brazilian soccer player Ronaldo de Assis Moreira
known as Ronaldinho has been awarded twice as the World Player
of the Year by the FIFA; he also has achieved the title of the
European Footballer of the Year and the FIFPro World Player of
the Year.

He picked the name "Ronaldinho" to distinguish himself from the
other Brazilian soccer player who has the same name "Ronaldo'.
He is part of the Spaniard Club Barcelona team and helped them
win the league title season. This was a great honor for Spain
and also to his native country Brazil, for being such a
successful footballer.

When the classification was made, each coach and captain of
every national team voted for their top player choice from a
specific list of candidates drawn up by the world governing
body. Spanish-based players have won awards for the last four
years.

Ronaldinho loves the Barcelona club, he said no amount of money
would temp him away from the team. "I'm extremely happy at
Barcelona and I can not imagine being as happy anywhere else",
said Ronaldinho in a news conference the day after the victory
over the English Club Chelsea earning a place in the
quarter-finals of the Champions League.
