Ronaldo is regarded as one of the greatest and most complete forwards of all time. Dubbed Il (or O) Fenomeno (the phenomenon), he was a prolific goalscorer, and despite being more of an individualistic attacker, he was also capable of providing assists for his teammates, due to his vision, passing and crossing ability. He was an extremely powerful, fast, and technical player, with excellent movement, as well as being a composed finisher. Highly regarded for his technical ability, Ronaldo was able to use both feet, despite being naturally right footed, and is considered one of the most skilful dribblers in the game. Along with Brazilian compatriot Romário and Liberian star George Weah, Ronaldo was seen as a new breed of striker in the 1990s who would also operate outside the penalty area before running with the ball towards goal. Often positioned near midfield, once in possession of the ball he would waste no time in making a beeline towards goal, with Rob Smyth writing, “he played like every attack had a 10-second deadline.. he would explode into life with no warning for defenders.” He frequently beat several players when dribbling at speed, and excelled in one on one situations, due to his ball control, acceleration, agility, balance and nimble footwork in his prime.

Ronaldo chose to join PSV after the 1994 World Cup. He was selected for the tournament despite being just 17, but did not play in any games. It was Romário who advised Ronaldo to move to PSV; Romário having played for PSV from 1988 to 1993. Ronaldo scored 30 league goals in his first season in the Netherlands. After scoring a hat-trick in PSV’s game against Bayer Leverkusen in the 1994–95 UEFA Cup, Leverkusen striker and Germany World Cup winner Rudi Völler stated in a post match press conference, “Never in my life have I seen an 18-year-old play in this way.” His dribbles from midfield caught the attention of many in the sport, with future Barcelona teammate Luis Enrique stating, “I’d seen him on television at PSV and thought ‘wow’. Then he came to Barcelona. He’s the most spectacular player I’ve ever seen. He did things I’d never seen before. We’re now used to seeing Messi dribble past six players, but not then. Ronaldo was a beast.”
