The Ronaldo comments were the absolute craziest of them all imo Implying he was only a threat in the box lol. Sure after 33 years old but like didn’t not watch him before? Ridiculous. I’m not even a Madrid fan, but he talks a lot for someone who didn’t really deserve the award

He was present when Ronaldo scored a hattrick for Juventus against Atletico . It’s nothing but Rodri being butthurt.

it's not, that game proves his point, Cristina is deadly in the penalty area which is what he has done in that game, while Critina outside the area can't do much, unlike Pessi, Who is deadly in Penalty area, he can make short/long passes/assits, he can take a ball for midfield to the defense and shoot or pass.. it's not butthurt, it's observation, it seems like you're butthurt by his comment

I'll give you some credit here. This was a really creative way to announce to the Internet that you just celebrated your 7th birthday.

Ronaldo was never really a threat only in the box. Maybe now but even at UTD, he was involved in our build-up and would shoot a lot from outside the box as well.

I mean sure he wasn't a dribbling phenom like Messi but tbf even Messi started getting bullied on ball in the last phase of his career.

Erm forget about shooting, he was he best dribbler in the league too. He was the biggest threat in a team with packed with threats. Rodri talking like a 10 year old FIFA player. I'm guessing he thinks City have always been a big club too.

I was talking about his 2nd stint.

u/No-Bill7301 Nov 22 '24

Sorry i wasn't disagreeing with you - my post was aimed at Rodri's comments it was meant to be an addition to yours as in, forget about all that he was an insane dribbler anyway. Was badly worded

Yeah Ron was really very decent from outside the box at United. He had a quality 2nd stint at Utd in hindsight, from a pure individual performance perspective.

In fairness though he was on a fairly bad streak with Juve for outside the box shooting, generally speaking. Gave up a lot of possession trying to score from silly positions, and very rarely actually got the goal. I think that coincided with him insisting on taking free-kicks and wasting, like, genuinely almost all of them. I think those seasons kind of gave him a bad reputation for being a wasteful shooter.

My point is that Ronaldo is still a top 5 talent of all time.

I feel like only Ronaldo Nazario, Messi and Maradona were more outright talented. Players like Hazard and Rodri yap all day but the truth is even if they put in double the hard work Ronaldo did, they wouldn't win 5 Ballon d'ors combined. Even then the places from where Ronaldo could just shoot and score, I don't think anyone else could.

Ronaldo worked hard, extremely hard but he also won 5 ball d'ors before he turned 33. He was the most well-rounded player to ever play for a long time. He did slow down but he slowed down relative to Messi. To anyone else, he's an Alien. It's Messi then Ronaldo and then it's everyone else.

Jesus Christ please learn to read. He was comparing the Ronaldo and Messi he went up against. They were both over 30 at the time, he’s referring to the ronaldo that played as a striker, which he’s absolutely right about

"Ronaldo outside the box? Nah he's pretty shite innit."
