Biggest conspiracies about Fenômeno Ronaldo (R9)
In my previous article where I explained what happened to Ronaldo Fenômeno in 1998 world cup final against France in Paris... I ended the article with “Obviously there were a lot of conspiracies since then and I would share some of it in the next article", this is the article I promised to write to explain those conspiracies. you can check the complete article here.
Kindly check out my awesome sponsors
These are the three conspiracies
1. R9 might possibly be poisoned
After several days which the matched had been played, a Brazilian pundit which is obviously a Brazilian fan in the world cup came out publicly and said that the team doctor had injected Ronaldo's knee due to an injury with something that that made him have the fitness problem and eventually put him out in the world cup finals and if this is true why did he play?.... That's what lead to the second conspiracy.
2. The Nike Sponsorship Deal
By then it was said that Nike had $100 million deal with the Brazilian National team, Edmundo which was the striker that suppose to start instead of Ronaldo came out and pronounced that Nike officials were always in the changing room and they had way more power than they should have.... So this theory explained that Nike forced Ronaldo fenômeno to play in the final and knowing he was very ill, but they chose contract over a football player health.
3. The FIFA Conspiracy
This is the biggest conspiracy and it sounds hard to believe but based on what happened months before the world cup when the Brazilian FIFA president steps down and he was replaced by Sepp Blatter and he was the most corrupt president and I would regard him as the president that's not legitimate based on what happened before he was sacked.
Rumours were in France that they needed to win the world cup because we all know France as the national team that was a symbol of hope and racial diversity and you can see the numbers of blacks in their club, though it was a white country but in the national team the blacks were dominant and they've never won the world cup before and winning it would be a great thing to happen to them.
There were also rumours that the Brazilian national team will be paid over $23 million to lose the world cup finals and also FIFA will ensure they had an easy path in the 2002 world cup, since world cup is hosted after every 4 years and they would also host one in the next decades,.... When I discovered this theory, it sounds ridiculous though...
4 years down the lane, they cruise through the group stage where Turkey, Costa Rica and china were their opponents and obviously they were not matched with Brazil when it comes to football and again they meet Turkey again in the semi final and they went on to win the world cup and Ronaldo won the golden boot by scoring the most goals in the world cup and eventually Ronaldo Fenômeno won the balon d'or which is voted by the french media..... That means something is obviously going on right?
Fast forward to 2007, Brazil would host world cup in 2014 even when most people in the country do not support that notion but it went on and it happened but this time around the lost to the Germans machine by 7 goals to 1 and I actually watched this live while I was at home on tv.
Though all these are just conspiracy theory and till this day no one will ever know what happened to Ronaldo in the world cup final 1998.
