And it (deliberately?) misses the moment where he chest-controlled the ball to the edge of our own box from halfway line.
To be honest I think he has already broke all the records he wanted last season (all time career, all time international etc). Individually there’s nothing much left for him to play for since then, except to extend his records a little further. But since he is not going to play in CL with us this year, maybe the WC this year would be his last motivation, and maybe stay relevant for a little longer under spotlight (playing in PL with us.
I died at the captions. Ronaldo could fall down and they'd say he was setting up a decoy. Even the throw in where he gets closed down and almost loses it (very similar to brentford goal) they paint it as drawing attention that got the goal. I mean gee who ever heard of a high pressing defence overloading the strong side. Video maker should def get his coaching badges, he just invented closing down.
To be fair he almost score an overhead worldie the other week, and almost make a good assist last game if Bruno didn’t screw that up (fine save from keeper though). He has also made himself available in position to score a couple of times last game, but just that the final ball didn’t delivered to him. Overall he lack match fitness though and wasn’t sharp, so the decision of not starting him was probably right.
He always looks frustrated in every missed chance or misplaced pass to him, even when he was scoring 50 goals a season. In fact, player like Halaand also resemble similar behaviour too at times, it’s mostly due to the desire/hunger to score more goals, which is good thing for striker/goalscorer.
I don’t get what you are on about to be honest. This is a Ronaldo performance thread and the clip is about Ronaldo performance in his recent game. There are many many pages of concern here that he can’t press, can’t pass and can’t adapt to ETH system, and will make us play worst as a team, so the clip is actually a good response to that at the very least. It’s not only about goals anyway, because, even when he was scoring goals for us last season, people keep saying he is the problem. At least we know he is now making progress to adapt into ETH system, which is only good thing for us.
I was so looking forward to the caption on his failed cross when I watched the clip. It let me down.
This is actually a pathetic argument, i mean anyone healthy with 2 legs could have done that , it's such a bare minimum for a footballer , it shouldn't even be a footballing trait to be debated for.
I don't even know where to start with this. I'll just not and summarize instead, the difference in ability and surrounding circumstance of the players in your example are significantly wide. It's not the same logic or conclusion because it's not even close to the same variables. Ability, performance, fit and projected pay off.
Quite interesting to look back at some of these clips as live, I didnt think he had much of a direct impact…
Yeah I've been usually quite criticial of Ronaldo but the bolded bit is what stood out to me during his appearance yesterday as well. If he's able to adapt to EtH's requirements, it will be great for us as.
He's not even a true cf though. He constantly drops deep for no reason, vacates the box when he shouldn't and can't link up play very well. Rangnick even said in a press conference towards the end of last season “Cristiano is not a central striker or does not want to play in that position”.
Because he’s the only CF at the club. I’m not saying he should start every match, but he’ll be useful now and again from start.
Jesus, my point was that this is how he has been like for ages. Who cares? Seriously.
