@FootynewsRonaldinho explains how the name stuck after his first call-up to the Brazilian national team. Back then, Ronaldo was already on the squad and since he was the youngest player, they had to call him Ronaldinho. That simple. From that moment, the name stayed with him forever. What's curious is that almost no one uses his real name anymore. In every place he ends up being someone different: in France they called him Ronny, in Italy they called him Dinho. He eventually realized names tell stories. His nickname wasn't born from a strategy but from a coincidence that ended up marking his entire career.
