Tooj 17 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 MILAN - A.C. Milan communicate that after the first checks made at the Galeazzi hospital in Milan to the player Ronaldo, a rupture to his kneecap ligament was found in his left knee. "You can’t understand the noise Ronaldo’s knee made, I heard it though." “Straight away Ronaldo told us: It’s like last time." Milan have now confirmed Ronaldo has completely severed the tendon in his left knee, effectively ending his career. The striker collapsed as he jumped to reach a cross during tonight’s 1-1 draw with Livorno and immediately the situation seemed to be serious. His teammates waved for medical staff and called for a substitution as he was stretchered off the field in tears. Ronaldo was rushed to a local hospital to undergo tests and initial reports suggesting he had completely severed the tendon were confirmed on the official Rossoneri website. Ronnie has already suffered this type of injury twice before in 1998 and 2000, but that was in his right knee. As there was talk of a possible retirement at the end of this season, if the diagnosis is confirmed then it is likely Ronaldo’s career is over. An injury of this type requires a player to be out of action for between nine months and a year. It's almost a decade since that final and just a little longer when it all started to go wrong despite all the success after. Yet despite all that went on my memories of Ronaldo will still be of a player who raised the bar for all players to reach since Maradona at his pomp, who knows what he could have acheived if it weren't for injuries and his motivational problems. One thing is for certain is that his genius is yet to have been matched by anyone of the the current generation and none of them ever will. The best player of my time without any shadow of a doubt. Here are some videos of Ronaldo at his best, to lay tribute to an absolute phenomenon. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't that, but he was amazing in his peak (which should have lasted a LOT longer), and well up there. He had some really bad haircuts though, but got a lot more criticism for his football than he deserved, he still was pretty damn good when everyone was calling him " ".
