Cristiano Ronaldo - Much Ado About Al Nassr
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Full kit fan boy.
He'll end up playing in the league of San Marino if needed.
Yh as said impressive but I doubt you, or anyone here, was saying Mitrovic was world class or even close to that. He is a good striker, no doubt, but it would be like Solanke or Watkins going there and breaking Ronaldo’s record. Good players but they’d be like peak Haaland, Henry, RVN there by stats.
It's because he has so much personally riding on this preposterous league. Patrick Batemen in yellow tights.
I don’t get it how on earth you watch Messi play & still believe Ronaldo is on his level or even close !!!!
ronaldo in 09 turned his game around & became the striker he is now … playing in the box waiting for his teammates to create clear chances for him …
he is not a great dribbler like neymar hazard robben let alone Messi
he can’t control the game & play as a playmaker
always said it’s like comparing upgrade of Maradona’s version to a goalscorer like van basten …. Btw van basten is an all time great so Ronaldo’s fanboys won’t get mad
At the end …. Messi is the goat
Ronaldo is one of the best 10 players in the last 20 years …. And 50 all time

One if the most funniest & delusional comments I’ve seen…. Truly Ronaldo’s is a magician to make his fanboys believe this sh****

Even funnier when you think he has a botox willy
Could I get some pepper too buddy?
Just remember 8-5. 1 WC to 0 knockout goals / assists. Asamoah Gyan has done more for his country in a WC.
It's not a dream. It's permanent. It's a nightmare you'll never wake up from. Even though you would trade any football outcome for the rest of our days to make it go away, it won't go away.
Scrotox.
these stupid rich people with more money than sense. he could just get an erection for the same effect.
He's not aged gracefully let's put it that way. When he was playing proper football in Europe that win at all costs mentality was admirable. In Saudi Arabia it comes across as a bit pathetic and desperate.
1 goal, 3 assists
I think he's just really compassionate. Whenever he loses, he instantly thinks my of my dickpic he signed in 2006 at OT and reflects on other people who have it worse.
Messi is a joy to watch and arguably the best player of all time, no question. But it seems you haven't seen much of Ronaldo. For a long time, he was an extremely dangerous player, capable of scoring any kind of goal from anywhere at any time. Both of them undoubtedly deserve every fame, money, GOAT title, and respect they get from the football community, fans, players, managers. It's been ultimate pleasure watching their rivalry for the last 20 years.
He’s starting to look like a shopworn ventriloquist dummy. Give it a couple of years and he’ll be in the same state as Simon Cowell.
This vid it's just a sample of some of his best and worse traits since his fist days as a player.
Later in his carreer he'll even add a better strike and more goalscoring traits
As great as are:
. some of his controls after some long balls launched to him
. his fantastic pace
. stamina
. a couple of great dribbles
. his shooting ability and movement to find scoring positions.
. mobility and teamplay
It's also pretty noticeable that:
. he always was quite stiff trying too hard to be seen smoother and more skill
. that he did unnecessary backheels and such that actually didn't generate any advantage, but worse made him loose that advantage
. that lots of time he wasn't fully aware of how to make a better profit of his runs, he had to make full stops too many times to regain control of his surroundings or regain his balance, or simply loosing it cheaply on the way (yet on the bright side, he always dare).
It's kind of funny, but that precise vid, as great at some moments are, as great as scoring a goal and 3 assists always is, shows exactly why for many his game isn't in the same breath as others in the history of the game.
BTW I'm not hating, it's a great game by him, yet the whole he was "Best/RG/Maradona" alike in his youth in United, it's quite far from the truth, he never had even the composure of his very own teammate Rooney in those days, yet it was clear that he was a really special fella.
He should try scoring one of his many goals when it really matters. It’s deeply satisfying seeing him in tears, and I don’t think that’s just because he’s a bellend and the way he exited the club, I think most of it is down to his mental fanbase. They just make you enjoy moments like that in a way you normally wouldn’t .
Apparently hasn't scored against this team that beat them in the last 5 matches? Trophyless in the Saudi league after losing this cup final against 9 men
We've won 2 trophies since he left in disgrace and he's won nothing.
It's pretty funny innit

Watching these old videos gives me so much pleasure and happiness. What teams SAF built for us.

Nothing?
Is the Arab Club Champions Cup a joke to you?
Will we ever see a United team like this again? I'm starting to severely doubt that.
Haven't followed a bit of what he's at or what he's doing in that big money retirement league. Today I opened the bbc article about him in tears and see that he finished the season without a trophy.
You are grossly underrating him. I personally am not a big fan because of his antics and I don't like the way he plays (even in his prime); he lacks artistry that other great players have/had.
My take on Cristiano is that PURELY interms of allround play he is near what you’re saying about him I.e One of the top 20 best players in the last 30 years. But, you really can't ignore his goals and their importance which elevates him greatly to probably top 5 best players in the last 30 years And top 15 best (NOT GREATEST) players of all time.
Than, separate from the "goodness" is the "greatness"; Ronaldo has longevity and success (individual and team) like very very few and that makes him one of the greatest ever, top 5 or (at worst) top 10 ever for sure.
I remember this game from the 07/08 season. This was Ronaldo's best premier league performance that season. Yet, the allround play isn't extraordinary at all; he completes a couple of dribbles, has some nice touches but loses the ball quite abit too while trying an unnecessary trick or attempting to beat his marker.[/QUOTE]
Seeing him crying and how much he cares about the lost trophy could make me tempted to feel bad for him, but then…
Read some comments he was faking it but why on Earth would he do that? It' surely genuine which is bit weird as he's won everything in his career and is almost 40 playing in Saudi Arabia. Perhaps he's deluded enough to think he has a chance of another Ballon d'Or if he scores lots of goals there and wins trophies?
It would be funny if an Argentine footballer in 2 years decided he fancied Saudi Arabia and absolutely bossed the league and won everything.
Cmon Ronaldo,,,you know you need Casemeiro to protect your defence.....Have a quiet word with the Sheikh.
If Inter Miami wins the MLS this season, Messi would be the key player in taking the worst team to first place. Obviously all the amigos are a part of that. I think that would be a greater achievement in semi retirement than winning the league with Al Nassr or Al Hilal. But still none of this really matters imo. Tbh I think shedding tears over not winning trophies in Saudi Arabia should be a bit beneath Ronaldo but it seems not winning a trophy since leaving Juventus grinds his feathers.
Ronaldo cried when Portugal lost to Greece in Euro 2004. It is interesting that he is still crying 20 years later. We all know that he works very hard, he is very careful about what he eats, he never drinks, and so on. I thought that such focused people are like robots. And here you have a "robot" crying!
(Perhaps it is a southern european DNA ... I don't know)
Crying over your national team as a teenager is a bit different than crying about losing a match that means literally nothing as a geriatric.
He hasn't won anything there has he? for someone that cares so much about his success, he has to win it. Its his identity. That's why he cried. It's kinda sad actually because he's a victim of his own mentality now. Despite not being young anymore.
Certainly. Well, some people are more emotional than others (Bruno!). I don't know if this really changes with age.
I used to believe that people with great self-control and focus, who can exercise for hours and eat only what the nutritionist recommended, are emotionless. Obviously, that was wrong. This is surprising for me.
You don’t know what bonuses and incentives he’s lost out on!
He’s probably just genuinely sad about his project to conquer Saudi Arabia is going relatively poorly, goal a game record notwithstanding. Or he could be playing up his image as a serial winner, that he cares about every bit of silverware, but I doubt he’s a good enough actor for that.
He is too invested in the perception of his persona and he has achieved so much that it's not easy for him to handle what he considers a bad situation, that might not be that bad at all.
Let's not forget that the whole Cristiano persona he build for himself has the basement of quite a disfunctional family and harsh conditions. So playing the internet silly psychologist, that has a lot to do with many of his tantrums, ocassional childish reactions and the genuine humane burst on emotions moments, as much as its has to do with his workrate, driven character and what his inner self thinks is winning. I might be wrong but he didn't fake it at all for me, kind of sad that it will end in meme material.

After yesterday's loss and today's UCL win by Real, Ronaldo should definitely be put under suicide watch
Real after Ronaldo in 6 years
2 UCL
3 La Liga
1 UEFA Super Cup
1 FIFA Club World Cup
3 Spanish Super Cup
1 Copa Del Rey

For all the years he was there I think Ronaldo only won like 2 La Ligas in his Madrid' career. Obviously won 4 Champions Leagues which is amazing achievement but they've been even better without him or as good.After yesterday's loss and today's UCL win by Real, Ronaldo should definitely be put under suicide watch

What’s the context here?
For me the best versions of those Madrids while he was there were better than this current team, winning or not. Even if some rivals in thsoe years played better than them, it doesn't take away that even on the "loosing" side some of those Madrids with CR were fantastic and really entertaining teams to watch.
