He played in the area between attacking midfielder and deep-lying forward but he was more scorer or assister than creator. Rivaldo could dribble, shoot and pass with the best of them. Especially, His shooting was a combination of superb power and precision. The best highlight of his club career was in 2001. In the last game of the season, against Valencia, Rivaldo scored a hat-trick to win the game 3-2. His third goal was a bicycle kick from the edge of the area in the 90th minute of the game, which is regarded as one of the greatest goals ever in a combination of importance and skill. The win secured Barcelona a place in the following UEFA Champions League tournament. The Zenith of his national team career came at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, hosted in South Korea and Japan. He scored in the first five games for Brazil. Brazilian striker Ronaldo had done so for four matches, allowing journalists to question whether there was any rivalry between the two athletes. Rivaldo denied this, insisting that all he wanted was to be the world champion. His spectacular goal against Belgium in the second round prompted Belgian coach Robert Waseige to name Rivaldo as the deciding factor. Brazilian midfielder Ronaldinho helped Rivaldo score a crucial goal in the 2-1 win over England in the quarterfinals. Brazil eventually met Germany in the final, and went on to win the tournament with a 2-0 victory in the final. Both Ronaldo goals came from trademark Rivaldo plays, as both Rivaldo and Brazil made amends for the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final loss to France. Rivaldo was named by coach Luiz Felipe Scolari as the best player of the tournament. RIVALDO Ferreira | 1997-2002 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
