Over the past 24 hours, a documentary about Ronaldo's career, R9, lefilm, has aired on the RMC Sports platform.
The documentary reveals many little-known facts, such as why Ronaldo suffered serious injuries in a row; for example, before the 1998 World Cup final, why did Ronaldo suffer a bizarre and strange illness that led to serious dysfunction.
Looking back to that not far away 24 years ago, in the 1998 World Cup final, France played against the defending champion Brazil, most of the fans are optimistic about Brazil, and many media also think that Brazil will beat the host and once again lift the Hercules Cup.
Strangely enough, Ronaldo, who had performed extremely well before, was completely out of shape throughout the game. His anomaly attracted media attention, and "what happened to Ronaldo" became the focus of heated discussion in the media and fans.
There are basically several opinions about Ronaldo's aberration, one of which is that the game is manipulated and FIFA does not want Brazil to defend its title; there is also analysis that France demanded that Brazil lose in exchange for the cancellation of debt to Brazil; and even more speculation that the French side sent someone to drug Ronaldo's food!
What is the truth? After 24 years, doctor Jean-Pierre Mondenard gave the answer in the documentary "R9, lefilm".
Mondardo refuted pressure from sponsor Nike and claims that the game was manipulated and Big Luo was drugged, and Monardo admitted that Ronaldo suffered a serious knee injury before the final.
The best treatment option at the time was corticosteroids, but it was a stimulant, and once detected, Ronaldo would suffer a long-term ban, which was ruled out.
In desperation, in order to allow Ronaldo to play, the doctor decided to inject anesthetics so that Da Luo could not feel pain, which was equivalent to playing a blockade. However, the doctor mishandled and injected an anesthetic into Ronaldo's vein, which contained a powerful sedative that inhibited seizures, which directly led to the seizure of pseudo-epilepsy.
Ronaldo fainted on the ground from foaming and shaking, and his heartbeat dropped to about 15 beats per minute. In desperation, the Brazilian team temporarily changed the starting list, and Edmundo replaced Ronaldo, a change that also surprised the outside world.
Although Ronaldo eventually appeared in the final, the anesthetic that entered the vein was still working, and he was unable to perform all his skills as if he were sealed.
It was the team doctor's oolong operation that made Ronaldo unable to play, and made the Brazilian team hate the Stade de France.
