Ronaldo Soares Giovanelli (born November 20, 1967 in São Paulo, Brazil) is a retired Brazilian footballer. Although as a child he was a forward he spent his career as a goalkeeper. ==Club career== Ronaldo begun his career in 1979, after making the cut during a Corinthians youth try out. Originally a forward, he was intimidated by the large pool of children who were gunning for attacking positions that day and decided to try out for a goalkeeping position, as he had brought gloves to the try out. Earning a spot as a third goalkeeper with the junior team, Ronaldo was eventually brought to the main team to help out in training. He made his professional debut in a goalless friendly against São José EC in 1988. During that year's Campeonato Paulista he defended a penalty kick from Darío Pereyra in the derby against São Paulo FC, cementing his place as the starting goalkeeper for the team.〔("Verdadeiro Ronaldo" justifica título de 1990 com amor pelo Corinthians )〕 As a player, Ronaldo was notorious for his physicality and for not being afraid of charging an incoming attacker.〔"Ronaldo anti Choque", Placar number 1109, november 1995, Editora Abril, page 17〕 A fundamental player in the 1990 Corinthians' Campeonato Brasileiro title win, and in 1994's defeat in the finals against SE Palmeiras, Ronaldo earned the Bola de Plata award from Placar magazine for best goalkeeper in both of these years. He left the club in 1998, by the order of then coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who sought to "renew" the club after the near relegation in 1997.〔()〕 Ronaldo played 602 times for Corinthians, being the team's third most capped player.〔(Ronaldo Soares Giovanelli )〕 After being released by Corinthians, he played for many other clubs with nowhere near the success he enjoyed with Corinthians. He was a part of the Fluminense squad that was relegated from Série B to Série C in 1998. He retired from professional football in 2005. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ronaldo Soares Giovanelli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
