Ronaldinho up to his old tricks (Video)

It may be a vast contrast from the peak of his career in 2005, a year in which he proved himself to be the best player in the world and received the Ballon d’Or, in addition to the numerous trophies he won with European champions Barcelona, but Ronaldinho is still showing glimpses of his Brazilian flair; something he holds in abundance.

This short clip shows the skill, technique and the pure improvisation of the man who was often distinguished by his floppy hair and his goofy teeth, in addition to his exquisite footwork and his huge treasure-box of trickery.

‘Gaucho’ is now playing for Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro after a dispute with Flamengo resulted in the magician cancelling his contract with the club, and has contributed 4 goals and 6 assists in the 15 games he’s taken part in.

He also had a 2 year stint at AC Milan after his departure from Barcelona, but it will always be at the Catalan giants where his name will be fondly associated with.

This video shows a superb overhead kick in a training ground session with his new club. Have a watch and remind yourself why we all loved Ronaldinho.
