Everyone should agree that on team level, Rinus Michels and Johan Cryuff made an huge influence on modern European Football. Their philosophies are widespread and you cannot avoid but seeing many top coaches were from Ajax and Barcelona, including Jose Mourinho (despite his playing are just the opposite).
Ronaldinho is perhaps the key difference of the modern world football, on the individual level.
After a successful World Cup in 2002, the Brazilian still played in PSG, when it was not a really great team like today. Transferring to a bigger club was the only way out. He had two choices. One was to replace David Beckham and become the new no.7 in Red Devils. The other one was to rebuild Barcelona, who was unable to achieve anything at all those years.
When he almost signed for the ticket towards English Football, he turned to the Spanish, and helped the team climb towards to summit of the Europe. More importantly, a boy from Argentina called Leo Messi inherited his magic and establish the truly amazing talent-driven style.
That's why Manchester United, after being ditched by the Brazilian no.10, turned to Cristiano Ronaldo.
While it is likely that The Portuguese would land to other European clubs like Arsenal, it was very unlikely for the Manchester club to get both Ronaldinho and Ronaldo at the same time. Ronaldo would have never lighted up the red devils like he did.
Though Ronaldo left for Real Madrid later, it is not really a bad thing for Manchester United to miss Ronaldinho, really.
To me, I could make the same analogy for the incidents of my life. I was never meant to work in a place very eastern, 2 years ago.
But if I was not there, I could have never encounter the life events, however good or bad they meant to me.
I taste the sweet, swallow the bitterness and treasure these moments, for the rest of my life.
