Ronaldinho, the Brazilian soccer star developed his talent playing Futsal, the indoor version of the world game. The young midfielder went on to play for Paris St Jerome in 1998 and followed that up with a blistering performance in the FIFA World Cup, which in turn generated a lot of interest from clubs such as FC Barcelona and Manchester United. Barcelona eventually won the bidding war, paying Ronaldinho 32.2 million Euro. He was named FIFA World Player of the Year in 2004. After five seasons, over 200 games and 95 goals for FC Barcelona, Ronaldinho was off to Italy, in 2008, to play for A.C Milan.
