roninho from being the best player in the world Ronaldinho into the area Ronaldinho ronal ronal has become a criminal he's locked up in a prison in Paraguay with only $6 in his bank account what happened the former Brazilian football star Ronaldinho and his brother are being detained in Paraguay the tragic story of roninho begins from his childhood he was born in one of the most dangerous cities in Brazil Porto Allegre it was a city where crime was was a constant threat his parents earned very little and as a result he and his siblings grew up
in a small wooden Shack from birth it was clear that it would be up to him to improve his family's life however there was one thing that kept them United Soccer but they were so poor that they couldn't even afford to buy Ronaldinho proper soccer shoes so his father lied to him telling them that if he wanted to become a professional he had to learn to play well without shoes in order to have better ball control and perhaps his father was right because Ronaldinho's older brother Roberto became the new soccer star of the flla at
the age of 16 Ronaldinho being 10 years younger gave his best he wanted to make his father proud and Roberto also helped Ronaldinho the two of them trained on the streets every day both had the same dream to become professional players for their father he knew they were something special and after work he spent his spare time training with his boys and then it happened Roberto was signed by GMO the professional soccer team of of the city they made a life-changing deal for the family it wasn't just a signing bonus the club also provided the
family with a house with a pool in a safe area Roberto had helped his family Escape poverty but only a few months later Ronaldinho's life would change forever he was returning home for Roberto's 18th birthday and was looking forward to celebrating but when he entered the house he saw Everyone crying instead of celebrating his father had a heart attack fell in the pool and drowned his Idol the man who had done everything for him and his brother to pursue their soccer dream was no longer with them Roberto became the man of the house and now
it was up to him to earn money to support the family and even though Rono ginho was only 8 years old he trained even harder hoping to get a contract soon and help the family the pressure weighed heavily on Roberto but things initially went well he helped Gro win titles and he caught the attention of the national team but then fate struck he suffered a sever knee injury and had to stop playing for 8 months it seemed like the focus was now on ronaldino but he was ready during his teenage years he worked tirelessly on
his soccer skills and it paid off words spread about a soccer genius after his team won 23 to nothing against another team and ronaldino scored all 23 goals in 1998 the moment finally arrived Gro signed him he was officially a professional soccer player and Roberto became his manager what they had fought for their whole life seemed to be coming true but it was also tough for ronal genho because he knew that no matter how much success he achieved his father would never be able to be at the stadium cheering for him after three successful years
at Gro and winning the Confederation cup with Brazil many clubs had their eyes on ronal Gino and in 2001 he moved to PSG for $5 million all of this happened before the qari Takeover he had to prove his worth first and often started games from the bench but he always played exceptionally well and soon secured a spot in the starting 11 he became the player of PSG however the PSG Executives noticed a problem ronal ginho had become a major issue he'd made it he was a millionaire a professional soccer player and training was no longer
his priority partying was almost every night he partied in the clubs of Paris and often showed up for training only on Fridays and for games on Saturdays despite this his performance on the field remained outstanding in 2003 PSG knew they had to sell him and all the big clubs wanted him he chose Barcelona a club that was struggling to keep up with Real Madrid at the time but he took the club to a whole new level his skills were incredible his dribbling was out of this world and his smile was infectious he won the FIFA
Player of the Year award twice the blond or and the Champions League he also appeared in a Nike commercial which was the first video on YouTube to surpass 1 million views but all all of this couldn't bring his father back and after 3 years concerns started to Arise at Barcelona as well because roninho had won it all and his attention had returned to partying the whole issue escalated to the point where he showed up drunk to training this happened just as another star was starting to make his Mark at Barca the young Leo Messi and
ronal genho took care of the shy boy and showed him the way he helped Messi feel at home with the team and taught him how to handle the pressure however Barcelona didn't want ronal Gino's bad behavior to influence Messi and it also seemed like ronal ginho wanted a change in scenery so in 2008 he decided to move to Italy he joined Milan a club that wanted to give him a chance at Redemption and he started well but then fell back into Old Habits he became a regular guest of the Italian night life Milan sold him
after a few years and Ronaldinho moved from one club to another in the Brazilian Club flz it seemed that he had a clause in his contract that allowed him to party during the night in 2015 the time came soccer legend ronal ginho distanced himself from the sport he loved but even then his decision making didn't improve even though he was no longer earning like during his active playing career he didn't stop partying in excessive drinking the truth is he wasn't happy and didn't receive the help he needed and the situation worsened he refused to pay
bills got involved in dubious cryptocurrency operations and repeatedly clashed with Brazilian Authority for example he illegally built a bridge on his property so the authorities had no choice but to press charges against their Idol in court it emerged that he had over $1 million in debt and only $6 in his bank account from being a millionaire to having $6 as a result the court confiscated his passport because it was suspected that ronal Gino had hidden money somewhere everyone thought this was his lowest point but then ronal Gino and Roberto committed one of the biggest mistakes
of their lives Ronaldo GAO was arrested in Paraguay on Friday for allegedly attempting to enter the country with a fake passport both were arrested for attempting to enter Paraguay with fake passports I mean just look at them the passports were for paraguayan Citizens and Ronaldinho is well known in South America so the officials knew he should have a Brazilian passport and this one couldn't be real ronal Gino and his brother were imprisoned and faced a potential 5-year prison sentence he repeatedly claimed that he didn't know the passports were fake and that he wasn't responsible for
them it was the people who had invited him to Paraguay however he wasn't released so he ended up in a prison in Paraguay but it seemed like he was returning to his old love he started playing soccer with the other inmates but nonetheless he had to celebrate his 40th birthday alone Behind Bars after 32 days he was allowed to leave prison and placed under house arrest but only after ronal and Roberto paid bail of $1.6 million where did the money come from I guess he wasn't completely broke after all but who knows and after 5
months of house arrest both were allowed to return to Brazil but it seems that the whole ordeal was also the wakeup call he needed it seemed like he wanted to take control of his life again he became an ambassador for a soccer team stadium founded a music studio launched his own brand of Jen and focused on endorsement deals just a few months after his release from prison we saw a photo of on Instagram in March 2022 with a Rolls-Royce it seemed like he was earning well again he also started producing his own film and the
trailer read a difficult period of my life is about to end fortunately I can never thank enough those who supported me I hope ronal gho has gained control of his life at least the title of his movie seems to allude to that ronal ginho the happiest man in the world
