Ronaldo Luis Nazário de Lima (born September 18, 1976), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a striker for the Italian Serie A club AC Milan. He has been nicknamed "The Phenomenon" (Portuguese: O Fenômeno, Spanish: El Fenómeno). Pelé named him one of the 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004. In 2007 France Football named him in their best starting 11 of all time.
Ronaldo has enjoyed success at the international level, winning the 1994 and 2002 FIFA World Cups with Brazil. Ronaldo has won three FIFA World Player of the Year awards (1996, 1997, 2002). He and former Real Madrid teammate Zinedine Zidane are the only two men to have won the award three times.

Personal life

Ronaldo was born in Bento Ribeiro, a poor neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Like many of his friends, he began to play football in the streets of his neighborhood. Ronaldo's actual date of birth is September 18, 1976, however, his father did not register his birth certificate until September 22, 1976 so some discrepancy has existed as to his actual birth date.
In April 1999, Ronaldo married Milene Domingues. The marriage lasted four years and ended in
divorce. The couple had a son, Ronald (born 2000). In 2005, Ronaldo got engaged to Brazilian model and MTV VJ Daniela Cicarelli, who became pregnant but suffered a miscarriage; their relationship lasted 3 months after their engagement. He ended his relationship with Brazilian supermodel Raica Oliveira in December 2006. Writer Andrew Downie asserted a correlation between Ronaldo's personal life and performance on the pitch, noting that his most prolific periods of goalscoring have coincided with the times when he was happily married.
In 2005, Ronaldo became co-owner of A1 Team Brazil, alongside Brazilian motorsports legend Emerson Fittipaldi. The team participates in the A1 Grand Prix series, with Nelson Piquet, Jr., Tony Kanaan and João Paulo Oliveira as drivers for the debut season.

Football career

Ronaldo's football abilities were first recognised when he was 14. He was recommended to the Brazil youth team by World Cup winner Jairzinho, who also arranged for his own former club, Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, to sign him when he was old enough for a professional contract.Ronaldo scored 12 goals in 13 games in the Brazilian National Championship, and in the Minas Gerais State Championship he scored all three goals in Cruzeiro's 3-1 victory against arch-rival Atlético Mineiro. After being scouted by Piet de Visser, he was soon transferred for US$6 million to PSV Eindhoven, where he scored 42 goals in 46 league games and reached a total of 55 goals in 57 official appearances. Later he attracted the attention of Spain's FC Barcelona. He played forBarça in the 1996-97 season, scoring 47 in 49 (including appearances in the Copa del Rey and European Cup Winners Cup) on the way to leading the Catalan side to UEFA Cup Winners' Cup triumph (where he capped the season with the winning goal in the cup final itself). Inter Milan swooped to sign him the following year, and Ronaldo duly helped them repeat his former side's cup-winning run, this time in the UEFA Cup. As of 2006, Ronaldo is the last player to score more than 30 goals in 1 season in the Spanish La Liga.
On 21 November 1999, during a Serie A match against Lecce, Ronaldo felt his knee buckle and was forced to limp off the pitch. Medical exams after the match confirmed that the striker had ruptured a tendon in his right knee and would require surgery. During his first comeback on April 12, 2000, he played only seven minutes during the first leg of the coppa italia final against Lazio before injuring his knee for a second time.
After two operations and 20 months of rehabilitation, Ronaldo came back for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, helping Brazil win their fifth World Cup title. Later in 2002 he won the World Player of the Year award for the third time, and transferred from Inter to Real Madrid for approximately €39,000,000, after frequent disputes with Inter coach Héctor Cúper.His transfer
to Madrid was the subject of a media frenzy not just laced with the usual hype because of his reputation, but more so because he was now the third successive Galactico (or superstar) signed in as many years by the Spanish giants as part of their policy of signing the world's biggest superstar football players in order to maintain their levels of success whilst broadening their reaches of fame.
Ronaldo was such a well-known signing that sales of his shirt on the day of his signing alone broke all records the world over. Proof of his fame came with the fact that even though Ronaldo was sidelined through injury until October 2002, fans continued to chant his name in the stands. Ronaldo scored twice in his debut for Real Madrid. That same reception was observed on the night of the final game of the season against Athletic Bilbao, where Ronaldo scored again to seal his first season with 23 league goals (not including the goals in the UEFA Champions League that included a hat-trick away at Manchester United - in which Real Madrid still lost 4-3 away but proceeded 6-5 on aggregate.) and the La Liga Championship title for 2003, which Ronaldo had previously failed to win whilst at FC Barcelona.

महिला कुनै पनि मामिलामा कमजोर छैनन्
सुजाता कोइरालाजस्तालाई राजनीतिमा ल्याएर महिला सहभागिता भयो भन्ने हामीलाई लाग्दैन। किनभने कांग्रेसभित्र उनीभन्दा धेरै लडेका कैयौं छन्। उनी घरानिया भएर मात्र आइन्। त्यसैले अधिकारबाट वञ्चित भएका सामान्य महिलालाई अझै पनि राजनीतिमा आउन गाह्रो छ। जयपुरी घर्ती, अध्यक्ष, (अनेमसंघ क्रान्तिकारी) तथा सदस्य, व्यवस्थापिका संसद्

दशवर्षको जनयुद्धपछि एकवर्षको संसदीय अनुभव पनि गर्नुभयो। संसद्लाई पनि लडाइँको अर्को मोर्चा मान्ने माओवादी पार्टीको प्रतिनिधिको हिसाबले दुई छुट्टाछुट्टै मोर्चामा के भिन्नता पाउनुभयो ?
हामीले १० वर्षसम्म समाजको पितृसत्तात्मक सोच बदल्न लडयौं। त्यही कुरालाई संस्थागत गर्ने अभ्यास संसदमा भयो। जुन तीव्रताका साथ हामीले १० वर्षसम्म काम गर्न सकेका थियौं, यहाँ सकिएन। समाजको नियमअनुसार नै संघर्षबाट छिटो समाज परिवर्तन हुन्छ।

युद्धका क्रममा हामीले स्थापना गरेका मूल्य-मान्यता त्यही तीव्रतामा संसदमार्फत स्थापना गर्न कतिपय प्रक्रियागत अप्ठेरा पनि रहेछन्। यति हुँदाहुँदै पनि आमाको नामबाट नागरिकता पाउने, राज्यका हरेक अंगमा ३३ प्रतिशत महिला सहभागिता र हाम्रो आफ्नै पार्टीबाट पनि ४० प्रतिशत महिला संसदमा आउने अवस्था बन्यो।
तपाईंहरूले संविधानसभा चुनावमा महिला सहभागिताका लागि पार्टीभित्र कस्तो पहल गर्नुभएको छ ? पार्टीभित्र र समाजसँगको संघर्षमा कुन गाह्रो छ ?
हाम्रो पार्टीले समानुपातिक निर्वाचन प्रणालीअन्तर्गत महिलालाई समानुपातिक हिसाबले नै उम्मेदवारी दिने र क्षेत्रगत आधारमा धेरैभन्दा धेरै महिला सहभागिता गराउने नीति अघि सारेको छ। पार्टीभित्र पनि सबै तहमा पुग्नुपर्ने जति महिला पुगेका छैनन्।

हिजोका एकाध घरानिया परिवारका महिलालाई राजनीतिमा ल्याएर महिला सहभागिता देखाउने प्रवृत्तिको अन्त्य भइसकेको छैन। सुजाता कोइरालाजस्तालाई राजनीतिमा ल्याएर महिला सहभागिता भयो भन्ने हामीलाई लाग्दैन। किनभने कांग्रेसभित्र उनीभन्दा धेरै लडेका कैयौं छन्। उनी घरानिया भएर मात्र आइन्।
त्यसैले अधिकारबाट वञ्चित भएका सामान्य महिलालाई अझै पनि राजनीतिमा आउन गाह्रो छ। हामी भने आफ्नो आन्दोलनबाट यो स्थानमा आउन सकेका हौं। नेपाली समाज र पार्टी दुवैमा यही स्थितिमा एउटा महिला सजिलै नेतृत्वमा आउन कठिन छ। मेरो आफ्नै कुरा गर्ने हो भने म गाउँबाट आएकी साधारण महिला हुँ। तर कुनै डिग्री गरेका महिलाभन्दा कम छैनजस्तो लाग्छ।
३३ प्रतिशतको कुरा गर्नुभयो यो आदर्श र व्यवहारमा किन तालमेल नखाएको होला, सक्षम महिला नेतृत्व नभएर हो ?

बिल्कुलै होइन। यो त पितृसत्तात्मक सामन्ती राज्य सत्ताको सोचले बनाएका पुरुष नेताले भन्ने भनाइ हो। अहिले पनि त्यस्तो सोच हावी छ। हाम्रो पार्टीले संसदमा ३३ प्रतिशतभन्दा बढी नै स्थान दियो तर अन्य पार्टीले त्यसो गर्न सकेनन्।

यहाँ ३३ होइन ५० प्रतिशतभन्दा बढी क्षमतावान महिला नेतृत्वको विकास भइसकेको छ। हामीलाई शुरुमा संसद् छिर्दा ँस्कुले केटीहरू छिरे’ भन्थे तर हामीले गरेर देखाइदियौं। अवसर पाए जसले पनि गर्न सक्छ। अवसर र हिम्मत भए असम्भव भन्ने संसारमा केही छैनजस्तो लाग्छ।

महिला नेताका नाताले आम महिलाको हितका लागि के गर्ने चाहना छ ?
एक दिन आममहिलाको मुक्ति गराएरै छाड्छौं भन्ने दृढ संकल्प छ। समाजमा महिलालाई शिक्षा र अवसरबाट वञ्चित गराइएको छ। राजनीतिक चेतना दिइएको छैन। पुरुषले राजनीति गर्न सक्ने र महिलाले गर्न नसक्ने भन्ने छैन।

यो विज्ञानसम्मत पनि हुँदैन। सबै महिलामा राजनीतिक चेतना हुनुपर्छ। सिंगो समाज परिवर्तन गर्न महिला विद्रोह अनिवार्य छ। त्यसका लागि पुरुषको पनि सहयोग लिँदै आममहिलालाई अधिकार सम्पन्न र सक्षम बनाई छोड्ने चाहना छ।

Pele at World Cup

National team career

Pelé's first international match was a 2-1 defeat against Argentina on July 7, 1957. In that match, he scored his first goal for Brazil, three months before his 17th birthday.

1958 World Cup
His first match in the World Cup was against USSR in the first round of the 1958 FIFA World Cup. He was the youngest player of that tournament, and at the time the youngest ever to play in the World Cup. He scored his first World Cup goal against Wales in quarterfinals, the only goal of the match, to help Brazil advance to semifinals, while becoming the youngest ever World Cup goalscorer at 17 years and 239 days. Against France in the semifinal, Brazil was leading 2-1 at halftime, and then Pelé scored a hat-trick, becoming the youngest in World Cup history to do so.On 19 June 1958 Pelé became the youngest player to play in a World Cup final match at 17 years and 249 days. He scored two goals in the final as Brazil beat Sweden 5-2. His first goal, a lob over a defender followed by a precise volley shot, was selected as one of the best goals in the history of the World Cup. When the match ended, he passed out on the field, and had to be attended by the medical staff. He then recovered, and was visibly compelled by the victory, in tears as being congratulated by his teammates. He finished the tournament with six goals in four matches played, tied for second place, behind record-breaker Just Fontaine.

1962 World Cup

In the first match of the 1962 World Cup, against Mexico, Pelé assisted the first goal and then scored the final goal to go up 2-0 after a run past four defenders. He injured himself while attempting a long-range shot against Czechoslovakia. This would keep him out of the rest of the tournament, and forced coach Aymoré Moreira to make his only lineup change of thetournament. The substitute was Amarildo, who had a good performance in the tournament; it was, however, Garrincha, who would take the leading role and carried Brazil to their second World Cup title.

1966 World Cup

The 1966 tournament was remembered for its excessive physical play, and Pelé was one of the players affected by such play. After becoming the first player ever to score in three World Cups, with a direct free kick against Bulgaria, he had to rest, due to fatigue, for the match against Hungary, which Brazil lost 1-3. He then faced Portugal, and several violent tackles by the Portuguese defenders caused him to leave the match and the tournament. Brazil lost that matchand were eliminated in the first round of the World Cup for the first time since 1934. After the tournament, Pelé declared that he did not wish to play in the World Cup again.

1970 World Cup

When Pelé was called to the national team in early 1969, he first refused, but then accepted and played in six World Cup qualifying matches, scoring six goals. The 1970 tournament in Mexico was to be Pelé's last. Brazil's squad for the tournament featured major changes in relation to the 1966 squad. Players like Garrincha, Nilton Santos, Djalma Santos, and Gilmar had alreadyretired, but the team, with Pelé, Rivelino, Jairzinho, Gérson, Tostão, and Clodoaldo, is widely considered one of the greatest football teams ever.
In the first match, against Czechoslovakia, Pelé gave Brazil a 2-1 lead after controlling Gerson's pass with his chest. Brazil went on to win the match, 4-1. On the first half of the match against England, he nearly scored with a header that was spectacularly saved by Gordon Banks. On the second half, he assisted Jairzinho for the only goal of the match. Against Romania, he opened the score on a direct free kick goal, a strong strike with the outside of his right foot. Later on the match he scored again to put the score 3-1. Brazil won by a final score of 3-2. In quarterfinals against Peru, Brazil won 4-2, with Pelé assisting Tostão on his team's third goal. In the semi-finals, Brazil faced Uruguay for the first time since the 1950 World Cup final round match. Jairzinho put Brazil ahead 2-1, and Pelé assisted Rivelino for the 3-1. During that match, Pelé made one of his most famous plays. Tostão gave Pelé a through ball, and Uruguay's goalkeeper Ladislao Mazurkiewicz took notice of it. The keeper ran off of his line to get the ball before Pelé, but Pelé got there first, and without touching the ball, he caused it to go past the keeper, to the latter's left, while Pelé went right. Pelé went around the goalkeeper and took a shot while turning towards the goal, but he turned in excess as he shot, and the ball drifted just wide of the far post.
Brazil played Italy in the final, with Pelé scoring the opener on a header over defender Tarcisio Burgnich. He then made assists on Jairzinho's and Carlos Alberto's goals, the latter one after an impressive collective play. Brazil won the match 4-1, keeping the Jules Rimet Trophy indefinitely. Burgnich, who marked Pelé during the match, was quoted saying "I told myselfbefore the game, he's made of skin and bones just like everyone else — but I was wrong".Pelé's last international match was on July 18, 1971 against Yugoslavia in Rio de Janeiro. With Pelé on the field, the Brazilian team's record was 67 wins, 14 draws, and 11 losses, and went on to win three World Cups. Brazil never lost a match with both Pelé and Garrincha on the field.

South American Championship

Pelé also played in the South American Championship. In the 1959 competition he was top scorer with 8 goals, as Brazil came second in the tournament.

Pele's: EARLY LIFE

Early life

He was born in Três Corações, Brazil, the son of a football player Fluminense footballer Dondinho (born Joao Ramos do Bojang) and Celeste. He was named after the American inventor Thomas Edison, and was originally nicknamed Dico by his family. He did not receive the nickname "Pelé" until his school days, when it is claimed he was given it because of his pronunciation of the name of his favorite player, local Vasco da Gama goalkeeper Bilé, which he misspoke "Pilé". He originally disliked the nickname, being suspended from school for punching the classmate that coined it, but the more he complained the more it stuck. In his autobiography, Pelé stated he had no idea what the name means, nor did his old friends. Apart from the assertion that the name is derived from that of Bilé, the word has no known meaning, although it does resemble the Irish language word 'Peil', meaning football.
Growing up in poverty in Bauru, São Paulo, Pelé earned extra money by shining shoes at the Bauru Athletic Club on match days. Taught to play by his father, whose own professional football career with Atlético Mineiro ended prematurely due to a knee injury, he could not afford a proper football and usually played with either a sock stuffed with newspaper, tied with a string or a grapefruit.
His first team was called the "shoeless ones" formed by himself and other boys from the Sete de Setembro and Rubens Arruda street.[citation needed] When they entered a local tournament organised by the mayor of Bauru that required footwear, they were no longer shoeless and were renamed Ameriquinha. They reached the final in BAC Stadium in front of thousands of spectators and won with Pelé ending up as the tournament top scorer.
In 1954, several members of the Ameriquinha team, including Pelé, were invited to join the Baquinho boy's team to be managed by former Brazilian international Waldemar de Brito, who played in the 1934 World Cup in Italy. For the first time, Pelé was paid to play football.The team won the 1954 Youth Championship organised by the newspapers Diario de Bauru and the São Paulo Sporting Gazette with Pelé scoring 148 goals in 33 games.
At the age of 15 and a half, he joined the Santos FC junior team. He played for one season before joining the senior team.

Club career

Santos

In 1956, de Brito took Pelé to Santos, an industrial and port city in the state of São Paulo, to try out for professional club Santos Futebol Clube telling the directors at Santos that the 15-year-old would be "the greatest football player in the world."
During his time at Santos, Pelé played alongside many gifted players, including Zito, Pepe, and Coutinho; the latter partnered him in numerous one-two plays, attacks, and goals.Pelé made his debut for Santos in 1956, scoring one goal in a 7-1 friendly victory over Corinthians. When the 1957 season started, Pelé was given a starting place in the first team and, at the age of just 16, became the top scorer in the league. Just ten months after signing professionally, the teenager was called up to the Brazil national team. After the World Cup in 1962, wealthy European clubs offered massive fees to sign the young player, but the government of Brazil declared Pelé an "official national treasure" to prevent him from being transferred out of the country.
On November 19, 1969, Pelé scored his 1000th goal in all competitions. This was a highly anticipated moment in Brazil. The goal, called popularly O Milésimo (The Thousandth), occurred in a match against Vasco da Gama, when Pelé scored from a penalty kick, at the Maracanã Stadium.Pelé states that his most beautiful goal was scored at Rua Javari stadium on a Campeonato Paulista match against São Paulo rivals Juventus on August 2, 1959. As there is no video footage of this match, Pelé asked that a computer animation be made of this specific goal. In March 1961, Pelé scored the gol de placa (goal worthy of a plaque), a goal against Fluminense at the Maracanã which was regarded as so spectacular that a plaque was commissioned with a dedication to the most beautiful goal in the history of the Maracanã.
In 1967, the two factions involved in the Nigerian Civil War agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire so they could watch Pelé play an exhibition game in Lagos.New York CosmosAfter the 1972 season (his 17th with Santos), Pelé retired from Brazilian club football although he continued to occasionally suit up for Santos in official competitive matches. Two years later, he came out of semi-retirement to sign with the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League (NASL) for the 1975 season. Though well past his prime at this point, Pelé is credited with significantly increasing public awareness and interest in soccer in the United States. (Previously, a video clip of Pelé scoring with a bicycle kick for the Brazilian National Team was part of the opening video montage of the popular sports TV series ABC's Wide World of Sports and was probably many Americans' initial viewing of the sport.) He led the Cosmos to the 1977 NASL championship, in his third and final season with the club.
On October 1, 1977, Pelé closed out his legendary career in an exhibition match between the Cosmos and Santos. Santos arrived in New York and New Jersey after previously defeating the Seattle Sounders 2–0. The match was played in front of a capacity crowd at Giants Stadium and was televised in the United States on ABC's Wide World of Sports as well as throughout the world. Pelé's father and wife both attended the match. Pelé gave a brief pre-match speech during which he asked the crowd to say the word "love" with him three times. He played the first half for the Cosmos and the second half for Santos. Reynaldo scored the first goal for Santos, kicking the ball into the net after it had deflected off the crossbar. Pelé then scored his final goal on a direct free kick, driving the ball past the diving Santos goalkeeper. At halftime, the Cosmos
retired Pelé's number 10. Pelé presented his Cosmos shirt to his father, who was escorted to the
field by Cosmos captain Werner Roth. During the second half, Cosmos striker Ramon Mifflin, who had replaced Pelé when he switched sides at halftime, scored on a deflected cross, and the Cosmos won the match 2–1. After the match, Pelé was embraced by the Cosmos players, including longtime rival Giorgio Chinaglia, and then ran around the field while holding an American flag in his left hand and a Brazilian flag in his right hand. Pelé was soon lifted by several Cosmos players and carried around the field.
