I admire Ronaldo for so many reasons: technically and skilfully one of the best ever, former United legend, utter commitment to his profession, does not engage in too many anti social or immoral behaviours, a good role model for younger people … the list is long.
But I hate his narcissism: We saw it again today at the final whistle: He had to cry on his own to try and be centre of attention and had to rip off his jersey to show off his torso. Im sure he will have received or read about the publics criticisms for both, so why does he carry it on?
I don't think he is a team player, he in it simply for himself, but annoyingly for him, football can't be won a,one, its needs a team, so he has to put up with everyone else. Just as I was glad we won without his penally in 2008, so I'm delighted Portugal won this final without him. They can claim equal stakes in the teams success instead of Ronnie claiming it was all down to him.
