There is only one Ronaldinho. Barcelona’s Brazilian midfielder has dazzled us all over the years with his tricks, both subtle and flamboyant. It is a natural reaction for many of us to watch him play and then try to emulate his moves while kicking it around in the park and for our beer league teams. Even if you are an established footballer it is tough to pull off some of the moves that Ronaldinho makes.

The Web site – http://www.belikeronaldinho.com – attempts to help even the most unskilled football player learn the tricks that make Ronaldinho so successful and so fun to watch. Written by a 20-year-old named Sonny Hovsep who played football until injuries cut his career short and who now is a trainer eager to spread his gospel, the site features a blog that includes regular posts and videos of Ronaldinho in action. Some of the posts include commentary and tips that might improve your game. Some of the posts are just those of a fan of a player.

The focus of the site, however, is a book that Hosvep has written called “Be Like Ronaldinho: All His Tricks and Secrets Exposed”. The book, which is sold on the site for $27, features tips on everything from simple ball control to moves like the Cruyff Turn and the Step Over Pass.

If you were to read only the Web site you would think that this book is the magic pill to cure your football ills. The site features glowing reader submitted comments that sound almost too good to be true. Perhaps they are. The fact is that there is no magic pill that will make you play like Ronaldinho and buying this book probably won’t either. Will it hurt your game? Probably not, but many of the tips that are provided can be found elsewhere without the hard sell of a Web site like Be Like Ronaldinho and without having to shell out your hard earned money.
