Ronaldinho Is One Of World's Best At Foot-Volley Ball

Ronaldinho isn't just a dab hand at football, y'know. The legendary Brazilian is one of the world's best when it comes to a sport called Foot-Volley ball. Just watch him bossing it on the court.

In fact, the former Barcelona forward wants to swap grass for sand as he aims to make it an Olympic event, something that we all definitely want to see.

"I also want to do some more for footvolley, to make it an Olympic sport. It's growing and it's a show." he told FourFourTwo. "There's a world league set up now and I want to practise to be at the level of the players that are also there."

Gaucho uses his flair and technique to keep the ball in the air, a reminder that the 38-year-old has not lost his outrageous touch.

For his brief but memorable time in Barcelona, the great Ronaldinho was, by far, the best player on the planet.

The Brazilian would leave supporters on the edge of their seats, using his speed, skill and ability to produce the unexpected on a regular basis.

It was a rollercoaster of emotions watching this incredibly talented player at the top of his game.

If you didn't watch the man in his prime, go over to YouTube and watch some of his highlights. Trust me.

In one of his most famous moments, which ironically was before kick-off, Ronaldinho smashed the ball into the sky, took it down with ease and casually humiliated his teammate with a Flip-Flap.

Can we just turn back time, steal him from the clutches of Barcelona and throw him back in the fold this season? Just look at this filth.

Ronaldinho constantly produced magic off the pitch, as well, and Nike struck gold when they decided to put Ronaldo de Assis Moreira to work in order to promote their latest pair of Nike Tiempo boots.

What followed is almost three minutes of footage that would prompt debate as to whether it was actually legitimate.

But even if Ronaldinho isn't actually playing 'keepie uppie one-two's' with the crossbar, it doesn't take away from our enjoyment of the video.

The advert became the first video to amass 1 million views on YouTube, which is a monumental achievement considering it was back in 2005 where Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites weren't even a thing.

What a bloke.
