RONALDO QUITS, TAKING SOME JOY OUT OF GAME
Ronaldo Luis Nazário de Lima — the great Ronaldo — has quit his game. Three times the world player of the year, twice the winner of the World Cup, the record scorer in the World Cup — the list goes on.
“I wanted to continue,” he told the Brazilian news media before confirming his retirement Monday.
“But I can’t do it the way I want to. The head wants to go on, but the body can’t take it anymore.”
To the umpteenth microphone shoved in front of his nose in São Paulo, he confessed Sunday,
“In recent days, I have cried like a baby.” Not a baby, perhaps, but ever a child in a man’s body, Ronaldo did something very few players in history ever could. He defined not one World Cup, but two.
