Great post! The American dream narrative is really on point. Many relate to that. Ironically, it is a bit similar to Mourinho's narrative. His fans loved the personality and what he represented more than the football. The football was usually justified or even used to taunt opponents.
Terrible take. Ronaldo used to waltz past players for fun.
He didn't though. Most of his waltz, stepovers and tricks were designed to set up a nice little backpass without getting past anyone. Total showboat. He did dribble, but not to the extent your rosetinted memory has it.

Agreed. Plus a lot of what we think is dribbling doesn’t even count towards the stat.
Kick and run counts as a dribble if it gets you past a player.
Ok then.

Stop with the random numbers nonsense please
I’m posting actual numbers that have context that’s not hiding behind Messi…and the elites.You do realize that you're listing cumulative stats here, don't you?
Instead of lashing out, wipe those tears and atleast look at the right stats if you're going to embarrass yourself responding.
I'm waiting for you to tell me how posting cumulative totals fine 2006 "disproves" what I said, genius.

Isn’t averaging out dribbles per game an accumulative stat as well though? A stat that falls away when he aged and changed his game for the past 6/7 years?!
But the chop is a kind of kick and run... A trickier one though, but still.
He wasn't Messi but he was a good dribbler, a damn good one. He was a trickster when he first got here, he even overdid it with the stepovers. He absolutely beat players for fun. Back then there were still questions about their effectiveness against tougher defenders but apart from that he was definitely taking and beating his man. It still thrived in a time where wide players were more midfielders than forwards.He didn't though.

The same crowds who hung on his every move prior, he really fecked up
Haven't ever seen a player single handedly light their twilight and part of their legacy on fire and piss away so much built up goodwill the way he did in the last half of this year...
The fact all of it was done only to end up with zero offers around Europe and having to go to fecking Saudi Arabia as a result makes it one of the stupidest decisions ever from such a high profile athlete.
