WC 98 in France. I was on holiday with my parents and somehow my dad got hold of some tickets. Although I was supporting Holland and was a young kid Ronaldo caught my eyes immediately (Even a blind man would recognize his class). I remember him making a run from his own half in extra extra time and just shook Frank de Boer and Jaap Stam off like they were kids. ( 1 of the better CB's partnership we had). I will never forget those moments. I've bought a shirt of Ronaldo and tried to do his step-overs etc (even though I was a defender). And that's exactly what Ronaldo did for me and my friends: We all wanted to be like him and trying to do his tricks and study him.
Almost a year later I saw him playing against Manchester United with our beloved clubs and fell in love with Inter and a love triangle was born. I now have a Inter shirt from season 97-98 with Ronaldo hanging in my living room. I still get excited if I watch him on YT, because of Ronaldo my love for football was born.
