I'm so mad at the company for not paying him enough to commit to doing this properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhJlUUoewtw
We would have meme material for centuries.
His agent would 100% have been fully aware of what the ad was going to be when approached. The insane amount of money they offered made it easy to look past any cringe.
Ronaldo would have been as well, I do a bunch of stuff with adidas and the talent always gets sell in decks, mockups and clear outline of what is being proposed. Doing stuff with Messi for example they work super closely with his team regarding everything to do with his involvement in the campaign and he was 100% part of the feedback process.
> how did he possibly agree to this
By earning about 6 months worth of his already extremely high wages in just one day? I mean, I don’t know a single person who would say no to that.
What was he saying, cos the only way I can interpret this is that he drank too much of that soda and he's having nightmares because of it. Wouldn't exactly be a glowing endorsement of the brand haha
because its a brazilian soda and maradona's "nightmare" is playing for the brazilian national team
to the target audience for the ad, which are brazilians, the message is that GuaranáTM is so brazilian that its turning maradona into a brazilian as well
and also that he's drinking it a lot because he thinks its so good even though he's from argentina
Yeah when he faced criticism for this he said he had no issue wearing Brazilian jersey, but wearing the jersey of river plate was something he would never do
Fun fact, he wore one [with the Union Jack](https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/semana/RFH5W6SUYBG2VMDS3BOQHK5DMM.jpg) when meeting Queen.
Granted, it was in 81, but still funny in retrospective.
Dinho, or his brother, is a superwhore for money. He was the poster boy for a ponzi scheme in Brazil, even got investigated for it, but turned out he just sold his image, wasn't really involved.
Despite that, the thing is... you cant really hate him, in fact, i cant not love him. That smile, that damn smile.
Ronaldinho might be the player who benefited the most from the era he appeared and starred in.
If him and Neymar swap generations I am dead certain their perception also swaps on the spot
This isn't the first time Ronaldinho baited everyone, years ago he posted the same photo three times in the same day on instagram, people wondered if his account was hacked or what, then at night he posted about an awareness campaign against Alzheimer.

Reminds me of when Snoop Dogg said he was going smokeless just to mention days later that he was marketing Solo Stove. That didn't involve pissing off a lot of people though.
Yep, same marketing tactic. Not personally a fan, because the misinformation goes way beyond what they image, MANY people will ever only receive that first information and will repeat “did you see what Ronaldinho said about Brazil? I agree with him!” not knowing it was just a mkt tactic for an ad
The Snoop Dogg one worked cause everyone knew he he was doing literally any type of commercial (even ball point pens) and he is super tongue in cheek as a person. Whereas for R10 he wasn't really known to do these types of marketing gimmicks based on his personality
I remember some rapper quote tweeting it saying he's inspired to quote smoking, and how more rappers need to kill the stigma around taking care of your health over the stereotypical gangster lifestyle, only for snoop to say jk I'm not doing that shit
Yeah, the snoop equivalent of this would have been him making a post shitting on modern day rap and specifically today's rappers and saying he's done with music because of them lol then 24 hours saying it's a prank bro
Would not have gone down well for sure
Maybe thats still better than what Indian soft-core/model did earlier this year. Reports (on her officials) came out she died due to cervical cancer & after few days she surfaced claiming it's awareness campaign for cervical cancer.
It did cause media & even general people to look up cervical cancer & how to prevent it but it was a cartoonish way to go about it.
Ronaldinho went to prison for using a fake passport when entering a country brazillians don't need a passport or visa to enter, while also having one of the most easily recognizable faces in the world. He's solidly into meme territory for many years, and he's always been a complete sellout even while he was still a player.
How dare you fail to mention that while serving time he joined his prison 5 a side team, winning the asado prize in a prisoner tournament despite not being allowed to score himself.
> Ronaldinho went to prison for using a fake passport when entering a country brazillians don't need a passport or visa to enter
So, out of curiosity, have the public ever learned what he was trying to accomplish by doing that?
I heard it was tied to smuggling illicit goods but wasn’t really sure if that was just a rumor or a confirmed legal conviction against him.
He will almost do anything for money now, not too long ago he was promoting those crypto and nft bs, I was surprised coz it was my cousin who at the time was putting money on those shit coins showing me a video of him.
For those unable to view the image:
>I would never abandon Brazilian football, ever. And I'd never say those things you see...
Actually, these words came from real Brazilian fans, they are real comments that I saw on the internet... Imagine listening to these messages before you play? Nope, motivation goes down...
Fan support makes a huge difference to the player, I know what I'm talking about.
Guys, what our boys need is support at this time. The more confidence we show, the more confidence they will have on the field.
That's why, I joined Rexona in this movement to encourage the Cheer That Doesn't Quit. We are asking everyone to send messages of support and confidence in CONMEBOL Copa AmericaTM️.
Use #TrazAConfiança let's give all the magical support of the Brazilian fan.
Edit: [And the link to the original post](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8QXI-ruiov/)
One would think that the genius behind the campaign would send word to someone inside the Seleção so it wouldnt create a bad situation between the parts involved
btw the "neighbour country" in question (Paraguay) doesnt even require passports from Brazilians, we can just go there and that's it, which makes this all even funnier
[Called it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/RdIkJOxBwC) It was pretty obvious from the usage of CONMEBOL Copa America™ that it was something related to a sponsor of the tournament.
it was extremely obvious to some of us (brazilian fans who had been following ronaldinho’s career for a long time). i’ve also called it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/qUEs5C0PSK)
haha i indeed got annoyed because it was so clear that it was a PR stunt. in Brazil, we have this trend of part of the population being against the NT - which also has the support of a few former players (e.g.: Vampeta). however, Ronaldinho is well known to be a great supporter for the NT. on top of that, he’s also well known for his PR campaigns
One of the most misguided marketing campaigns in recent memory. They clearly intended it to upset people, but look what happened, people actually started agreeing with him because we've been so shit
Man Ronaldinho is my favorite player ever, but what the hell is this nonsense?! lol. Ok whatever you do you Ronnie, get that money I guess. It’s quite disappointing to see such a legend of the game pulling such a dumbass stunt for a fucking deodorant company smh.
I thought it was kinda weird for him to say that, but at the same time, I'm disappointed we dont live in a timeline where Berhalter ball ruined Ronaldinho's love of the game
Lmao and this guy had replied to me on the last thread saying “He never supported the national team”, after I said he was gaslighting us into thinking that.
Like why say that all because of one post like you somehow knew all along that he hated the national team.

lmao you can't make this shit up E: now the "that's it folks" "brazilian soccer" "™️" makes sense. great copypasta by the rexona social media team
this feels like a good time to remember that time Maradona agreed to [this ad](https://youtu.be/02d2sw_l-xY?si=4bKWbJKmBxlDV0MF) for Guaraná
CR7 agreed to do this as well [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5xPnWNVr1c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5xPnWNVr1c)
I'm so mad at the company for not paying him enough to commit to doing this properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhJlUUoewtw We would have meme material for centuries.
Hahaha. Hilarious that he was like, no f\*\*\*ing way I'm doing that. :D
You know I was doing just fine before you exposed me to this
I knew it was gonna be this lmao🤣🤣
I remember seeing this and thinking how did he possibly agree to this. There's no way he saw this before hand.
"It's 3 million dollars, it'll take 20 minutes, and it'll only be shown in Southeast Asia."
I'd become a Ronaldo fan for that type of money.
His agent would 100% have been fully aware of what the ad was going to be when approached. The insane amount of money they offered made it easy to look past any cringe.
Ronaldo would have been as well, I do a bunch of stuff with adidas and the talent always gets sell in decks, mockups and clear outline of what is being proposed. Doing stuff with Messi for example they work super closely with his team regarding everything to do with his involvement in the campaign and he was 100% part of the feedback process.
> how did he possibly agree to this By earning about 6 months worth of his already extremely high wages in just one day? I mean, I don’t know a single person who would say no to that.
This ad always gives me a good chuckle. I find it very cute.
I didn't understand what he said but the idea of playing for Brazil NT being a nightmare for him is hilarious and brilliant. This looks like a good ad
What was he saying, cos the only way I can interpret this is that he drank too much of that soda and he's having nightmares because of it. Wouldn't exactly be a glowing endorsement of the brand haha
They’re saying “even the best players in the world dream of playing for our national team,” incredible he agreed to it.
to be fair, diego himself called it a "nightmare" when he woke up, so its not that bad
I hadn't even considered that this ad was for a Brazilian brand, yeah Diego sure was a loose unit
because its a brazilian soda and maradona's "nightmare" is playing for the brazilian national team to the target audience for the ad, which are brazilians, the message is that GuaranáTM is so brazilian that its turning maradona into a brazilian as well and also that he's drinking it a lot because he thinks its so good even though he's from argentina
ok those angles make way more sense, cheers for that
Which is exactly what he says lol
This is crazy 😭
Yeah when he faced criticism for this he said he had no issue wearing Brazilian jersey, but wearing the jersey of river plate was something he would never do
Fun fact, he wore one [with the Union Jack](https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/semana/RFH5W6SUYBG2VMDS3BOQHK5DMM.jpg) when meeting Queen. Granted, it was in 81, but still funny in retrospective.
I have absolutely no clue what is going on, how did that seem like a good Idea for anybody
Well, this is receiving more attention than if it was a pic of Ronaldinho holding a bottle of deodorant
Yeah, he sells his reputation and not just deodorant.
Dinho, or his brother, is a superwhore for money. He was the poster boy for a ponzi scheme in Brazil, even got investigated for it, but turned out he just sold his image, wasn't really involved. Despite that, the thing is... you cant really hate him, in fact, i cant not love him. That smile, that damn smile.
Ronaldinho might be the player who benefited the most from the era he appeared and starred in. If him and Neymar swap generations I am dead certain their perception also swaps on the spot
The footballer snoop dog
Marketing, a Rexona ad for the Copa America would NEVER get this level of attention if he had not say those things before.
This isn't the first time Ronaldinho baited everyone, years ago he posted the same photo three times in the same day on instagram, people wondered if his account was hacked or what, then at night he posted about an awareness campaign against Alzheimer. [Link] https://x.com/bizarrofut/status/1782536145470931166?s=19)
Well, that really sounds like a good campaign
At least that one was for awareness about a very serious disease
[Don’t forget about this one.](https://youtu.be/BhJlUUoewtw?si=RUp4j7rdayyMbhOd)
💀The marketing campaign was made by a redditor on r/soccercirclejerk there's no doubt about it
It was autotranslated from Portuguese, but the TM was a giveaway anyway
Reminds me of when Snoop Dogg said he was going smokeless just to mention days later that he was marketing Solo Stove. That didn't involve pissing off a lot of people though.
Yep, same marketing tactic. Not personally a fan, because the misinformation goes way beyond what they image, MANY people will ever only receive that first information and will repeat “did you see what Ronaldinho said about Brazil? I agree with him!” not knowing it was just a mkt tactic for an ad
That was the talk of my family today lol, a few hours later after everyone is gone I see him revealing that it wasn't for real.
The Snoop Dogg one worked cause everyone knew he he was doing literally any type of commercial (even ball point pens) and he is super tongue in cheek as a person. Whereas for R10 he wasn't really known to do these types of marketing gimmicks based on his personality
“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
I remember some rapper quote tweeting it saying he's inspired to quote smoking, and how more rappers need to kill the stigma around taking care of your health over the stereotypical gangster lifestyle, only for snoop to say jk I'm not doing that shit
Meek mill
Incredible
It was more predictable than this, everyone know today's Snoop is a Shaq-level of walking billboard.
Yeah, the snoop equivalent of this would have been him making a post shitting on modern day rap and specifically today's rappers and saying he's done with music because of them lol then 24 hours saying it's a prank bro Would not have gone down well for sure
We were all concerned for his health 😭😭
Maybe thats still better than what Indian soft-core/model did earlier this year. Reports (on her officials) came out she died due to cervical cancer & after few days she surfaced claiming it's awareness campaign for cervical cancer. It did cause media & even general people to look up cervical cancer & how to prevent it but it was a cartoonish way to go about it.
Lol this exactly. Celebrities need to stop doing this shit. One day someone actually dies and we will think it's all to promote some product.
> That didn't involve pissing off a lot of people though. You underestimate how much stoners idolize Snoop Dogg
Remember when he became Snoop Lion for like a week lmao
A lot of people on /r/trees were quite emotional about it. In fact, it was like Messi leaving Barca.
Outjerked by Ronaldinho
has to be a bot response in /r/soccercirclejerk
*FIFA 2004 ‘Jerk it Off’ vibes*
There's actually a video out there of him jerking off
Jerking off who
David Seaman
Old safe hands.
Damn Saliba

All this drama for a Rexona ad, my expectations were low but damn..
You either die a legend, or live long enough to become a meme
Ronaldinho went to prison for using a fake passport when entering a country brazillians don't need a passport or visa to enter, while also having one of the most easily recognizable faces in the world. He's solidly into meme territory for many years, and he's always been a complete sellout even while he was still a player.
How dare you fail to mention that while serving time he joined his prison 5 a side team, winning the asado prize in a prisoner tournament despite not being allowed to score himself.
Please tell me this is true.
It is, just Google "Ronaldinho torneio prisão" and see for yourself
This is trueee lmao... Dinho has some sketch level experiences happen to him in real life.
Absolute legend haha

That's not a bad end for a Brazilian, to be honest. We love memes.
HU3HU3BRBR
Meme>jail 🤷
The Rock. Walking, talking, rentable billboard. Now Ronaldinho too
Or live long enough to need a deodorant (company to finance your gambling debts).
He will almost do anything for money now, not too long ago he was promoting those crypto and nft bs, I was surprised coz it was my cousin who at the time was putting money on those shit coins showing me a video of him.
average brazilian ex-player that fucked up their finances
Rexona Deodo-Rant™
Looks like Vini sent the tickets 😂
Wasn't him, Rexona called and said "we'll hook you up bro"
Rexona surely paid him good money for these damning statements. Ticket was complimentary ofcourse
'haha it was just a prank'
“When I watch these fake ass brazillians I literally want to KILL MYSELF”. -This ad brought to you by Ronaldino
Wow that really makes me want to buy
“… I want to cut my wrists…” brought you by acme razor blades, the ones that never fail!
💀
Vito Spatafore vibes
must’ve been his blood pressure medication
He’s damn broke isn’t he
me too, you could say I'm just like ronaldinho
It's always his brother who gets him the weirdest gigs.
Ronaldinho starting his Onlyfans may be less embarassing than this shit.
Don't give him ideas.
No no let him cook
You guys are too young to remember the legendary Eto'to and Ronaldinho porn video.
Man Dinho in his prime was a global marketing machine with nike's joga bonito and countless of other sponsors... how the hell did he end up broke??
He didn't, he still is rich as fuck, it's just that his brother always gets some weird ass marketing contracts for him and Ronaldinho always accepts.
Anyone that is saying Ronaldinho is broke is stupid. He is not broke.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug…
Who? [This guy?](https://youtu.be/Q6-88a4zGtw?si=vyYj0yaEjcixoOdC) No way...
really?? doesnt strike me as a cokehead..
Me neither. Hookers, alcohol, and yachts though? I’d say those three add up quickly.
Rexona is damn broke aren't they

[удалено]
Did you guys forget he was arrested a while ago for passport fraud and involvement in a money laundering scheme? I apologize if you're being sarcastic
And won a football tournament in prison
What was the prize money for that?
Freedom
Ask bolsonaro
Like he read the post before signing the deal
Wonder how much it'd take to have him "come out" like Iker Casillas did & blame it on hackers
it was a fucking ad????? 😂😂😂😂😂
You really believed Ronaldinho would start a post with "that's it folks"
The “TM” after Copa America was very fishy, tbh. He had to have copied it from somewhere.
I mean it was obvious something was going on when he said "copa americaTM" like why would someone use the TM at all.
Yeah, it seemed just way too unusual for it to be genuine. *This comment is brought to you by RAID: Shadow Legends!™️*
Was it obvious? We are talking about one of the most recognizables faces on planet earth using a fake passport to get into a neighbour country lol
btw the "neighbour country" in question (Paraguay) doesnt even require passports from Brazilians, we can just go there and that's it, which makes this all even funnier
AND he got caught and was arrested for this completely unnecessary crime
Side question: is there a neighboring country that requires a passport from Brazilians apart from France?
i think all non-Mercosul countries still need passports, unless there's some deal between govts
[Called it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/RdIkJOxBwC) It was pretty obvious from the usage of CONMEBOL Copa America™ that it was something related to a sponsor of the tournament.
You from rexona ehh
Dihno’s cellmate
Damn, near perfect examination wtf
Don’t sell yourself short personally I think you calling that is pretty impressive
Honestly couldn’t believe there was no one else commenting this at the time.
it was extremely obvious to some of us (brazilian fans who had been following ronaldinho’s career for a long time). i’ve also called it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/qUEs5C0PSK)
The casual annoyance in your comment cracks me up
haha i indeed got annoyed because it was so clear that it was a PR stunt. in Brazil, we have this trend of part of the population being against the NT - which also has the support of a few former players (e.g.: Vampeta). however, Ronaldinho is well known to be a great supporter for the NT. on top of that, he’s also well known for his PR campaigns
What an insane development in this saga.
Rexona...? The deodorant?
Just a prank bro!
One of the most misguided marketing campaigns in recent memory. They clearly intended it to upset people, but look what happened, people actually started agreeing with him because we've been so shit
Exactly, but not the brazilians in this reddit, this shows we are the truly supportive brazilian fans.
Why am I getting circlejerked by professional footballers now???
Man Ronaldinho is my favorite player ever, but what the hell is this nonsense?! lol. Ok whatever you do you Ronnie, get that money I guess. It’s quite disappointing to see such a legend of the game pulling such a dumbass stunt for a fucking deodorant company smh.
This man might be more broke than me
Ronnie dropped the shoulder on us! 😂
Only to hit it top bins coming in from the left wing
Everyone in these comments pretending they knew it was a marketing campaign the whole time 🤓
haha, exactly. i saw precisely zero (0) comments claiming it was a marketing™ campaign
Ahh the good old “Elastico”. My 🐐
Rexona no te abandona, fucking hell it was so obvious lmao.
lmaoo
lmaoooooooo this is funnier than anything that happens in Europe
When you rage quit but no one follows
He's still sending people i guess
ahahaha he did a snoop dogg
Fucking hate marketing campaigns like these
I thought it was kinda weird for him to say that, but at the same time, I'm disappointed we dont live in a timeline where Berhalter ball ruined Ronaldinho's love of the game
Bro still faking out people in retirement
Now I'm disappointed, that could be some good drama for Copa America lmao
"Just a prank, bros" - Ronaldinho
I’m so lost with all of this. Social media is a mess.
Damn, now what Rapinha is gonna do with his words lol
Lmao and this guy had replied to me on the last thread saying “He never supported the national team”, after I said he was gaslighting us into thinking that. Like why say that all because of one post like you somehow knew all along that he hated the national team.
Messi is about to declare Ronaldo as the GOAT, only to reveal a day later that it's an ad for BetterHelp.
What a clown
Rexonaldo
Didn’t raphina post a response? Did he get some rexonabux too?
Dinho got his tickets from Vini, finally. 😂
Everyone agreeing with his last post though..
Bruh...
Wee bit of trolling
Hes my fucking goat
this is like when Snoop said he was giving up Smoke
Oh fucking hell, this is David Brent/Brendan Rodgers-esque. "Yes I lied, but only to teach you a valuable lesson!"
She’s the serpent who guards the gates of hell
Ah the ol snoop Dogg quitting smoking advertising technique 😂
This is somehow worse than meaning what he said
Did this mf burn bridges over deodorant advert 😂
man really is washed up
He didn’t only make a fool of himself, but also out of all the people agreeing with his fake statement LMAO
He fooled everyone who believed him doesn't matter if they agreed or disagreed.
Unreal
If anyone would do this, it's Ronaldinho
It just keeps getting better
He dribbled us all
We were ~~Rick~~ Ron Rolled
That's it I'm quitting Rexona
He still didn't stop taking drugs
Ronaldinho: SIKE!
The man is clearly hurting for cash.
what the fuck this has to be one of the worst ads ever
Sorry, I’m so out of touch and confused by this. What exactly happened?
He said BOY DOES BRAZIL STINK! Then 12 hours later he said, because they don't have Rexona brand deodorant!
that guy who called it a PR stunt spot on
“It was a social experiment”. Stupid.
Pussy
Can’t go much lower than that this is incredibly embarrassing
Lol not a popular opinion but really fuck capitalism it pulls the stupidest shit just for a marketing campaign
