Ronaldinho Kangol collage

Ronaldinho is clear on one thing: the noise about his lifestyle doesn't stick because he genuinely loved the game and took home every title possible. Yet there is a specific regret that cuts deeper than any trophy, and it centers on his father never being around to see those moments happen. He remembers a day walking with his dad while pointing at a big house, telling him he was going to build one just like it for the old man. His father laughed, pulled him away, and said that kind of dream belongs only to the rich before telling him to focus on learning a trade instead. Those words still hurt because he can't go back and tell his deceased father that he actually made it come true.
