The sheer speed of pre-injury Ronaldo (updated, final/complete)

[1337inzock]

ronaldo 40yard =under 4 seconds in his prime

[MrYoumitube]

This guy won 3 world player of the years and 2 world cups..Now imagine if he never had a major knee injuries through his career. No one would even dare compare Messi or Dinho to the Phenomeno. Before his injury..there was no player like him since Maradona. Ronaldo easily best striker of all time. Without injury possibly the best player in history??

[bellend4556]

The acceleration combined with the strength and skill of Ronaldo had just made him an absolute MACHINE!

[1337inzock]

1994-1999 the best player the world has ever seen. 2002 still the best player

[LocoAsasino]

He wasnt the fastest ever obviously but his change of pace was incredible. But at top speed he was not even as fast as his team mate roberto carlos to be honest.

[1337inzock]

@LocoAsasino lol, ask Roberto him self. Ronaldo was topspeed beat mendy and mendy owns Roberto Carlos

[LocoAsasino]

@1337inzock Mendy in a 40 yard dash against ronaldo would win, but in a 10 yard dash ronaldo would beat anyone. If u haven't noticed in football... its hard to make sprints more than 10 paces because of offside traps, defenders and bad passes.

[1337inzock]

@LocoAsasino look at this video, you run like 40-50 yards. And mendy has a running start! Ronaldo is much faster in sprint speed and have ten times better change of pace

[LocoAsasino]

@1337inzock

Ronaldo beat him in the first 10 yards and cut the angle off on mendy.

[1337inzock]

@LocoAsasino he has better sprint speed as well cuz he outrouns him. Mendy has flying start

[tasosRULEZ]

HE fly he dont run

[B16Fan]

In 2003 or 2004 at a Real Madrid traing camp in swiss Ronaldo's 100 metre time was 10,3 seconds!!! I think in the years 95-99 he was more faster. His speed und ball control will unmatched forever.

[Benderillo1996]

I swear man he should be the inspiration for all players i mean dude look how fucking fast he is, his skills are impeccable, and come on hes R9

[elkunio]

It's true!!! RONALDO is probABLY best player ever like Mike Tyson best boxer ever.

[mangoboy77]

@elkunio mike is not the best, the best boxer of all time is Muhammad Ali¡¡¡¡¡

[elkunio]

@mangoboy77

Yes, like Pele in football, but who had greatest talent? If Mike and Ronnie didn't have 3 years left they could be better...

[kingrobinho77]

was there anyone faster than the LEGEND ronaldo hmmm NOO!

[Smyth92]

Theo Walcott

[Ratoscruvy]

Defenders beware: There's a rather fast black man running down the field

[americamufcfan7]

Speed+Strength+Skill = The fittest, strongest, and best football player ever.

[ronaldogodmagic]

Greatest player ronie

[Bimbodeoro]

Search on youtube "Ronaldo - fast as hell" which shows Ronaldo outsprinting Mendy who was faster than Henry

[Bimbodeoro]

Bernard Mendy was faster than Henry..but in that same game Brazil vs France where Mendy out paces R. Carlos, Ronaldo beats Mendy to the ball even though Mendy was in front of Ronaldo in the beginning.

[SwaggerBoi112]

@Bimbodeoro Bernard Mendy faster than Henry???? lol don't make me laugh. There is no football player faster than Henry. Henry dusted R. Carlos that same game Mendy did. Henry was untouchable when he pushed the ball in front of him.

[MrYoumitube]

@SwaggerBoi112 While Henry played in Juventus,Barcelona or in America or even France..he was not half the player like he was at Arsenal. Ronaldo was consistent throughout his career, in cruzerio,psv,barcelona,inter,r­eal madrid and of course Brazil. Factor in Henry never had any major injuries which could debilitate a players performance make Ronaldo even more amazing.

[SwaggerBoi112]

@MrYoumitube Woah Ronaldo consistent? 1. During Cruzerio, PSV, & Barca days R9 was just a kid continuously improving he hit his prime at Inter. When he went to Madrid after injury he wasn't even CLOSE to the player he was before. Henry played a complete diff. position in Juve then at Arsenal we know what happened. When he went to Barca he was 31 yrs old. How can you expect him to be the same after his injury in 2007 + age? & he is France's top scorer/assiter so he is consistent.

[DAGOSX100PRE]

he was a fucking monster he had speed but he also had something important that most player lack is strenght! he was hard to push off the ball and speed+strenght= unstopable player

[benrlndl9]

its not a discussion if he was the fastest footbbaler ever..

the right question is if he was the fastest human !

[UNF108]

@1:17 that blew my mind!

[Thesoccerdood]

I think Henry is faster.. if he wore light cleats like Ronaldo did instead of some 12 ounce crap reboks he wud be much faster

[FaintSlaughter]

henry?

[pulmon66]

one takes for granted his speed, but clock it, and you´ll realize that from the moment the camera changes from one angle to another (at 1.16 into the clip, ten yards into his own half of the field), to where he wants to be ( the opponents´area), he´s covered so much ground, with the ball, both vertically and horizontally, it´s insane.

[PeshayatBjk]

HE'S KING REAL RONALDO9

[pimpskatar]

Henry was faster, his skin colour was blacker

[987costa]

@pimpskatar .lol and?ronaldo ahd a better accelrationt han henry but henry was proably aster over 100m

[giggity5313]

@987costa ronaldo was faster henry was faster on the 40m

[SIMO742]

I love ronaldo but yes, there were faster players like Thierry Henry

[987costa]

@SIMO742 .ronaldo was faster over the first ten yards, henry was orobaly faster over 100 metres.

[SIMO742]

@987costa Oh, so Henry was faster in distance and Ronaldo had a faster acceleration ?

[streetstylemagic]

@987costa henry had crazy good acceleration over the first 10 yards too in his prime. he was scary fast. but technically rommedahl was fastest (tho i never seen it in a real game).

[987costa]

@streetstylemagic .well io think so. i mean henry must be faster over a longer distance i.e 100 metres, and he did also have an amzing acceleration but ronaldos explosive accelration was something else.

[RONNIEMAX1986]

Oltre ad essere molto rapido era anche estremamente potente nella corsa.Una pantera.Ricordo contro lo schalke che un difensore gli rimbalzò addosso dopo averlo provato a fermare.Il più grande di tutti

[alienwarelaptop100]

There was no one faster then Ronaldo in his prime time, he was the fastest and the best football player. TOO Fast TOO FURIOUS! like a tiger.

[freakybomwha]

@thebloodyalbo91 okay thanks :) but how will that make me faster with the ball and using a smaller size :S

[freakybomwha]

@thebloodyalbo91 then i guess im not normal cos i can run 100m in about 11 seconds yet with the ball its like 13-14 :L

i suck ;(

[fengorfeye]

he is fucking legend and the best player in history!!

[freakybomwha]

@thebloodyalbo91 then hes a freak of nature

but still nt the fastest

im my oppinion

kaka could come close. but not beat him. but their is defo someone faster in the years football has been played

[freakybomwha]

@182JonnyA okay ha. learn a new thing everyday

[freakybomwha]

@thebloodyalbo91 very true but its all a matter of oppinion and my oppinion is that he is not the fastest player ever lived. il do some research now and find out some people

[freakybomwha]

@182JonnyA whos r9?

[freakybomwha]

@182JonnyA

sure :D

type in "henry fast" and look for an old video

runs about 40 yards in about 3 seconds and bombs it past about 5 people chasing the ball! :D

[freakybomwha]

@thebloodyalbo91 yesss but not the fastest player ever lived, yah i give it to him, hes a quick bastard, but ronaldinho has proved himself that you dont have to be fast to run past people, so im sure its going to be pretty easy for the best player around (ronaldo) to be able to run 50m, even 100m if he wanted, thats because his accelaration, also hes obv gona have extreme ball controll which will make it so much easier, but he really isnt the fastest player ever lived atall

[freakybomwha]

@freakybomwha also theo walcott cud prob

david odonkor

[987costa]

@freakybomwha .nah he was faster than theo walcott, again ronaldos things was accelration, nonone could catch him in that, over 100m etres yes maybe.

[freakybomwha]

Omg why does everyone say he's the fastest, he isn't!!!!!!

It's called accelaration, he has an explosive accelaration, yes he's fast but not much faster than most, it's his accelaration that's what makes him bomb past people, top speed and accelaration are two diffrent things and he isn't the fastest top speed so stop saying he is!!!

[chilenopsycho]

ronaldo is the best....at his incredibly fast speed he contained his amazing ball control....phenomeno!!!!!

[devilantony100]

yes usain bolt :P

[gotfinnegan]

Ronaldo has great acceleration but I don't think his top speed is much higher than other players. Look at Kaka.

[A4RON123]

@gotfinnegan kaka?? come on, ronaldo was twice as fast

[GerrardRonaldo]

What seperates Ronaldo from other players now is not only his speed. But the Speed he ran with the ball.

It is rare for a striker to be as strong as Ronaldo and as fast. mess is fast but his not strong, always gets knocked to the ground.

[KhazarLenkoranX]

He was faster that a bullet

[luckey104]

me nd ronaldo go at it! he is my favorite player ever! i love him! but

[tupaksgay]

best ever , ashley cole isnt fast the person who sed that noes nothn at all about speed. bellamys quik but not powerfull enuf to be in ronaldos league

[ronaldogodmagic]

very fast speed

[dooch31]

yeee ronaldo was quick but there are quicker players now e.g. theo agbonlahoor onuocha navas

[akebefrontiere]

Ronaldo was quick but he played against really slow defenders but it doesn't mean he wasn't fast but i would have loved to have seen him faced the likes of gallas,evra,ashley cole,micah richards,onuoha just to see how far behind he would have left them.

1 player who must have been really quick when he was younger and is still playing now is bellamy who is amazingly quick despite being almost 31 years old so can you imagine how quick he was when he was younger.

[carlazhoo7]

@akebefrontiere thats wrong, Bernard mendy is not slow defender and ronaldo powns him. Ronaldo even fat was fast.

[azerkahn]

@carlazhoo7 Indeed! Just look at his goal against ghana 2006. He was pushing in to 30 years old with some extra weight and still had that fast step to give him the few extra meters he needed. Wonderful player! I doubt we will ever see anyone quite like him.

[Rodriiigo000]

cool vid

[EastEnd360]

i dnt like your description of the video but it was a gd vid of the fenomeno

[Magarinhos11]
