Ronaldo reveals the reason behind his famous 2002 World Cup hairstyle

There are many things to remember from the 2002 World Cup.

The stadiums, the 'Fevernova' ball, Ronaldinho's goal against Seaman from almost half the pitch.


Last but not least is the photo of Ronaldo holding the trophy with his unique hair style.

At that time everyone was surprised by that hair style, but now Phenomenon for ESPN Brazill also explains the reason:

"I had hip pain, I was 60 percent recovered, so I shaved my head."

"Everyone was talking about my injury and when I arrived at training with that hairstyle everyone stopped talking about the injury," added Ronaldo, revealing that it was the only way to draw everyone's attention away from his injury.

It seemed to help Ronaldo as he finished the championship with eight goals, three more than Rivaldo and Miroslav Klose. /Telegraph/
