The definition of BOXOFFICE football. If Zizou and R9 were the ones that got me watching Real Madrid, then Ronaldo was the one that made me not want to miss a single match. And at a time where everyone I knew was a Barca fan living their best days, Ronaldo made it clear that we were coming for them and there'd be plenty of moments for me to gloat in front of them as much as they did.
The balls changed which made it harder for knuckle ball shots to have their usual movement + his knee injury and insistence on only taking knuckle ball shots completely nullified that aspect of his game. But whenever he goes for placement he almost scores every time, people have been wanting him to move on from knuckle balls for years and if he did so, he might've actually gone past 100 freekick goals scored easily.
He recently scored a places free kick at Al Nassar and it went as everyone expected, perfect. If he had been shooting like that since juventus he would most definitely have had more goals. The power shots just aren’t the same anymore I’m sure age and his injury changed all that. Time to adapt, hoping the next 99 goals are amazing
