Ronaldinho, whose full name is ronaldo de assis moreira, was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil on March 2 1980. He has dual citizenship of Brazil and Spain, and is also a Brazilian professional football player, field supervisor and winger.

Ronaldinho's full name is ronaldo de assis moreira. But when he entered the stadium, his teammates nicknamed him "Ronaldinho Gaucho" to distinguish him from Ronaldo.

Because Cristiano Ronaldo participated in the 1994 World Cup, there was a defender named Cristiano Ronaldo in the team at that time. Brazilians like to use place names as determiners, so Rhoda's nickname is "Ronaldo Rio".

Ronaldinho should have been called "Ronaldo Gaucho", but in order to show that he is younger, he is called "Ronaldinho Gaucho" (inho is translated as "Little" in Portuguese), but many Brazilians are still used to calling him "Ronaldinho", that is, "Little Ronaldo".
