da betsul： Being one of the best football players of a generation is always tough, but doing it at the same as one of the best footballers ever can be even tougher. For Cristiano Ronaldo to constantly be going against Lionel Messi is not easy, especially when Messi’s Barcelona is booming with the talent of Neymar and Luis Suarez alongside Leo.
da apostebet： But Ronaldo is too used to being a great individual in a mediocre team, resulting in him being singled out for criticism when the team under performs. At Manchester United, he was the only world class player, often carrying the team.
Now at Madrid, the team seems to be living in the shadow of what could be one of the best Barcelona sides in years, and the Galacticos don’t seem as threatening anymore. After a recent loss against Atletico Madrid, it left Real 12 points off top spot.
Though there is nothing wrong with a bit of passion from a player, Ronaldo criticised the team so openly that all the press could see exactly what he said. Ronaldo claimed that Zinedine Zidane’s side would be top if all players were on his own level. This is a very arrogant statement, especially considering Real boast talents such as Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos, Isco and Danilo to name but a few – all players that other sides would love to have.
Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world, but it means it is impossible for Madrid to sign 10 other players on his level. The only way this could happen would be if Messi was bought in to lead the line alongside the ex-Sporting Lisbon star, which would never happen.
With 27 goals in 28 La Liga outings this term, its not been one of Ronaldo’s best seasons but it’s certainly not been a bad season by normal standards. However, unlike Messi, Ronaldo’s game play is greedy, and he more often than not will take chances himself rather than set up a team mate. Perhaps the true reason Madrid are struggling is because they depend on Ronaldo too much, but only because he doesn’t share enough.
It is no surprise that Madrid reportedly want to sell Ronaldo: like he did at United, they are realising that the team cannot go forward properly with him in it, and at the age of 31, he certainly isn’t going to get any better, whereas Messi, who is three years younger, will.
Ronaldo may then benefit from a move to America, where he can not only control a whole team and be great, but where he can further his own brand.
