American YouTuber 'IShowSpeed', popularly known as 'Speed' has been a growing sensation in all parts of the world. Speed is currently touring Brazil and he recently met football legend Ronaldo Nazario.
Speed was reportedly in awe of Ronaldo's gaming setup. He was into tears when the footballer allowed him to have a feel of the prestigious Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo Nazario won the Golden Ball twice in his career - in 1997 and 2002.
Speed has portrayed himself as a die-hard fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, and Indian Icon, Virat Kohli and he made sure to bring up the topic of the Indian batter in front of the former Brazil international.

What did Ronaldo Nazario say about Virat Kohli?
During their meet in Brazil, Speed asked the former Real Madrid striker about Kohli and if he knew the cricketer.
He said,
By the way, I got a question. Do you know 'Virat Kohli from India.
To Speed's astonishment, Ronaldo replied.
No, is he a player? Who is he?
The Brazil legend admitted that he did not know the iconic playing because cricket is not too popular in his country.
Speed then showed a photo of Virat Kohli and that is when the 47-year-old recognised the Indian batting legend.
To give Ronaldo a reference, Speed also referred to Virat Kohli as someone better than Pakistan star Babar Azam. Virat Kohli and Babar Azam are two of the finest players of modern Cricket.
Streaming live on his YouTube channel, Speed was ecstatic while talking about Virat Kohli to Ronaldo Nazario.
