Official Nike Brazil away football shirt from the 2002 international tournament. Complete with Ronaldinho #11 on the front & back of the shirt in original lettering and FIFA World Cup 2002 patch on the sleeve.
This is the rarer '4 stars' version of the jersey, manufactured before Brazil lifted their 5th World Cup in the 2002 final. Jerseys manufactured after this tournament, featured five stars above the crest.
The condition of this vintage football jersey is 9/10 – Superb (see photos).
Ronaldinho participated in his first World Cup in 2002, as part of a formidable offensive unit with Ronaldo and Rivaldo, dubbed the "three R's", who were also on the 1999 Copa América winning squad. Ronaldinho appeared in five matches during the tournament and scored two goals, as well as contributing several important assists. His first goal came in the group stage match against China, which Brazil won 4–0.
The most memorable match in Ronaldinho's World Cup career took place in the quarterfinal against England on 21 June. With Brazil trailing after Michael Owen's 23-minute strike, Ronaldinho turned the game around. Having received the ball inside his own half, Ronaldinho ran at the England defence and wrong footed star defender Ashley Cole with a trademark step over before passing the ball to Rivaldo on the edge of the penalty area to score the equalising goal just before half-time.
Then, in the 50th minute, Ronaldinho took a free-kick from 40 yards out which curled into the top left corner of the net, completely surprising England's goalkeeper David Seaman, giving Brazil a 2–1 lead.
However, seven minutes later, he was controversially sent-off for a foul on England's defender Danny Mills. Ronaldinho was suspended for the semifinal, but returned to Brazil's starting lineup for the 2–0 victory over Germany in the final as Brazil won the World Cup for the fifth time.
