The.Phenomenon.Ronaldo.2022.720p.WEBRip.800MB.x264-GalaxyRG Subtitles

00:00:03,683 --> 00:00:10,This programme contains
some strong language.

00:00:20,963 --> 00:00:22,Now...

00:00:22,363 --> 00:00:24,'..rules and regulations...'

00:00:24,683 --> 00:00:26,Sh, just coming back in a second.

00:00:26,283 --> 00:00:28,'In our league,
they would have to...'

00:00:30,443 --> 00:00:33,So, after nearly five weeks, here
we are, all set for the last match.

00:00:33,483 --> 00:00:35,They tell us we couldn't
have a better World Cup final.

00:00:35,963 --> 00:00:38,Brazil against France - the holders
against the host country.

00:00:38,523 --> 00:00:39,The two pre-tournament favourites.

00:01:01,923 --> 00:01:05,It's the first time in the World Cup
Brazil have not come out

00:01:05,123 --> 00:01:06,to warm up on the pitch.

00:01:06,483 --> 00:01:07,France are out there warming up.

00:01:07,923 --> 00:01:10,We haven't seen a Brazilian player.

00:02:21,283 --> 00:02:25,'Brazil win the World Cup for an
unprecedented fourth time!'

00:04:41,323 --> 00:04:42,'Ronaldo down.

00:04:44,243 --> 00:04:46,'Ronaldo's back up!
Ronaldo's through!

00:04:46,803 --> 00:04:48,'And Ronaldo scores!'

00:05:10,803 --> 00:05:13,'Left three players in his wake.
He checks his feet...

00:05:13,843 --> 00:05:15,'This would be a wonderful goal...

00:05:15,283 --> 00:05:16,'Oh! It's in!'

00:06:09,763 --> 00:06:11,AUDIENCE SCREAMS

00:06:11,963 --> 00:06:13,Ronaldo!

00:06:13,203 --> 00:06:14,Ronaldo!

00:06:25,483 --> 00:06:27,Very humble.

00:06:27,003 --> 00:06:29,Always smiling, always happy.

00:06:29,803 --> 00:06:32,That's why everyone loved him.

00:06:57,403 --> 00:06:59,# Something like a phenomenon

00:06:59,803 --> 00:07:01,# Something like a phenomenon...#

00:07:01,763 --> 00:07:04,Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo,

00:07:04,203 --> 00:07:08,Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo,
Ronaldo, Ronaldo...

00:07:09,923 --> 00:07:14,The level of fame and celebrity
was all encompassing.

00:07:14,283 --> 00:07:16,In '98, he was ubiquitous.

00:08:05,563 --> 00:08:08,He was born to be the phenomenon.

00:08:08,243 --> 00:08:09,God said, "You're the one".

00:08:44,283 --> 00:08:47,CROWD SCREAMS AND JOSTLES

00:10:36,523 --> 00:10:38,CROWD ROARS

00:10:55,523 --> 00:10:58,CHEERING

00:13:52,043 --> 00:13:55,'The bar is set so high
that it's quite hard for them

00:13:55,923 --> 00:13:59,'to enjoy the ride, enjoy
the journey of the World Cup.

00:13:59,443 --> 00:14:03,'You'll see World Cups referred
to as ones that Brazil won,

00:14:03,403 --> 00:14:05,'and one that Brazil lost,

00:14:05,483 --> 00:14:07,'as if it was like heads or tails.'

00:14:18,043 --> 00:14:21,'So, this soccer-crazy country,
taking a fifth world title

00:14:21,403 --> 00:14:23,'would be the ultimate confirmation

00:14:23,123 --> 00:14:26,'that the Samba Boys really are
in a class of their own.'

00:15:07,203 --> 00:15:11,'It's a World Cup
more hyped than any other.'

00:16:21,163 --> 00:16:23,CHEERING

00:17:44,363 --> 00:17:46,CHEERING

00:18:35,043 --> 00:18:38,CHEERING

00:18:55,283 --> 00:18:58,'Ronaldo plays out of his skin
that day.

00:18:58,323 --> 00:19:01,'And I don't think it was ever
really appreciated,

00:19:01,443 --> 00:19:04,'the extent to which
he was carrying a side

00:19:04,203 --> 00:19:07,'that really weren't that great.'

00:19:36,803 --> 00:19:39,CHEERING

00:20:05,083 --> 00:20:07,'More than a billion people
across the world are expected

00:20:07,843 --> 00:20:10,'to watch the 1998 World Cup final.

00:20:10,243 --> 00:20:13,'Brazil is favoured to win
an unprecedented fifth trophy.'

00:20:37,043 --> 00:20:38,Let me show you the actual photocopy

00:20:38,963 --> 00:20:40,of the team sheet that's handed in.

00:20:40,883 --> 00:20:42,There's a cross there,

00:20:42,043 --> 00:20:44,which indicates that
he's one of the substitutes.

00:20:58,043 --> 00:21:00,'It's the first time
in the World Cup

00:21:00,243 --> 00:21:02,'Brazil have not come out
to warm up on the pitch.

00:21:02,923 --> 00:21:04,'France are out there warming up.

00:21:04,603 --> 00:21:06,'We haven't seen a Brazilian
player.'

00:21:06,363 --> 00:21:09,And the latest rumour,
just to add fuel to the fire,

00:21:09,443 --> 00:21:11,is that there must be some
sort of argument going on

00:21:11,843 --> 00:21:13,in the dressing room.

00:25:48,763 --> 00:25:51,Edmundo's playing
in Ronaldo's place,

00:25:51,323 --> 00:25:52,alongside Bebeto,

00:25:52,483 --> 00:25:54,and that's an experienced line-up,
but not as terrifying.

00:25:54,843 --> 00:25:55,Yeah.

00:25:55,883 --> 00:25:57,I don't like really Edmundo.

00:25:57,843 --> 00:26:01,I saw... I saw him playing against
Morocco in the last 30 minutes,

00:26:01,963 --> 00:26:04,and he didn't impress me at all.

00:26:04,003 --> 00:26:07,So, you know, to take the place
of Ronaldo is very difficult

00:26:07,203 --> 00:26:08,for any players in the world.

00:26:08,883 --> 00:26:10,I'm just going to interrupt
you there, because news has just

00:26:10,923 --> 00:26:14,come out that the biggest wind-up
in World Cup football history

00:26:14,723 --> 00:26:17,has just hit the news
because Ronaldo will play!

00:26:25,323 --> 00:26:27,First of all, they thought
it was a knee injury.

00:26:27,603 --> 00:26:29,Then somebody said Zagallo
had dropped him.

00:26:29,643 --> 00:26:30,Then it was all a mistake.

00:26:30,843 --> 00:26:32,And then we were told
it was definitely true.

00:26:32,803 --> 00:26:35,And then suddenly,
here's the new team sheet!

00:27:58,603 --> 00:28:01,The Brazilian team doctors then
gave Ronaldo clearance to play,

00:28:01,923 --> 00:28:04,45 minutes before the kick-off.

00:28:04,243 --> 00:28:08,He arrived at the stadium after
the rest of the Brazilian team.

00:28:08,323 --> 00:28:12,Well, there've been some strange
starts to World Cup finals

00:28:12,123 --> 00:28:14,in the past,
but never one quite like that.

00:31:15,243 --> 00:31:19,Recriminations have already begun
over the tame Brazilian performance,

00:31:19,003 --> 00:31:22,with questions being asked about
the decision to play their star

00:31:22,003 --> 00:31:25,striker Ronaldo, even though
he was clearly unfit.

00:33:06,763 --> 00:33:09,Can I ask you a couple of
questions about the Nike contract?

00:33:09,563 --> 00:33:11,You don't want to talk
about football.

00:33:11,523 --> 00:33:13,I would like to talk about...
Bye-bye.

00:33:13,283 --> 00:33:17,Some people say... No more answers.
No more questions.

00:33:29,123 --> 00:33:30,As a consequence of

00:33:30,883 --> 00:33:34,Brazil's defeat in 1998,

00:33:34,003 --> 00:33:40,and all of the speculation about
Nike forcing Ronaldo to play,

00:33:40,683 --> 00:33:44,there were two separate
commissions of inquiry

00:33:44,923 --> 00:33:48,in Brazil's Congress
to investigate what happened.

00:33:49,963 --> 00:33:51,It's incredible.

00:33:51,203 --> 00:33:54,It really does show the importance
of the game in this country.

00:34:20,763 --> 00:34:23,The problem was that
these clauses were kept secret

00:34:23,403 --> 00:34:27,and all these wild and wonderful
conspiracy theories emerge

00:34:27,163 --> 00:34:28,as a consequence.

00:34:52,283 --> 00:34:55,Was the illness caused by
painkilling injections he was having

00:34:55,523 --> 00:34:57,so he could play
despite an injured knee?

00:35:14,643 --> 00:35:16,You say some sort of punch
up going on?

00:35:23,643 --> 00:35:26,Ronaldo taken to hospital
and reported to be vomiting...

00:35:46,403 --> 00:35:49,Reportedly, Brazil's players
had received a total of

00:35:49,683 --> 00:35:52,$23 million in bribes
to throw the game...

00:36:11,803 --> 00:36:13,Ronaldo has a history of
sleepwalking.

00:36:26,763 --> 00:36:29,It could be sometime yet
before we hear the real truth...

00:36:29,403 --> 00:36:31,(ECHOING) ..the real truth,
real truth...

00:36:31,203 --> 00:36:33,..the real truth
behind the Ronaldo story.

00:38:50,003 --> 00:38:54,Inter at that point were the sort
of perennially underachieving club

00:38:54,323 --> 00:38:56,that spent big money
and everybody made fun of

00:38:56,683 --> 00:38:58,because they were obsessed
with winning the title.

00:39:05,923 --> 00:39:07,They tried everything.

00:39:44,163 --> 00:39:46,So, Inter had brought in
Marcello Lippi,

00:39:46,723 --> 00:39:49,who won league titles
at Juventus - a direct rival,

00:39:49,603 --> 00:39:52,and they made sure that the whole
table was set,

00:39:52,603 --> 00:39:56,by bringing in, arguably, the other
greatest striker in the world

00:39:56,483 --> 00:39:58,at that time,...
