The Cristiano Ronaldo Thread [R] Part 8: " O Melhor Jogador Do Mundo"...for Man Utd at least.

Damn you!! Have a great time though. Where are you going? Braga?

 

Lol, I was watching "5 para a Meia-Noite" (a talk-show broadcasted every day of the week at midnight in RTP2, worth watching btw) when the host showed today's Correio da Manhã last page. There's an article there, at the bottom, that Paris Hilton revealed to her friends she could never date C. Ronaldo because he dresses like a gay man.

The same as ever.... ball hog!

 

Disagree, he looked very comfortable and combined well with the rest of the team. He set up Benzema goal as well as set off numerous opportunities for himself and the team. He looked potent out there, I got to say, his appears to be playing with more fluidity, less forced so to speak, now thats hes back on the Iberian peninsula.

Can't wait for the season to start.

 

Did you hear about Ribery? He wants to join the Galacticos because of the new generation.

 

I dont think hell score anything like 42 goals, but I think there will be more assists in his stats

I predict he will get something like 20 goals (he takes PKs and FKs too it seems liek apparently), 20 assists this season.

 

I think he knows hes not going to get brutally hacked at as much anymore. It appears as if thats the case as well. When he gets by 1 or 2 people in that video, they will be trailing him but they don't take him down. In the EPL if he went by 1 he was automatically getting fouled by the 2nd person... His play shows confidence in that, the way he is carrying himself...

 

*subs*

 

Probably true but hell still come in for rough treatment. I watched last years El Clasico and Real Madrid gave Leo Messi some rough treatment in a game in the new camp, which Barcelona ended up winning 2-0. in the Bernabeu, Real was just destroyed 6-2 and messi wasnt really targetted from what I saw as the whole team just obliterated a hapless Madrid side in that fixture.

also did you see what happened in the friendly vs Juventus.. ronaldo was hacked alto and one really bad tackle came at his knee cap studs up.

but yeah hell prolly be kicked less than epl, but hell still get kicks.

years ago, Maradona didnt last at barcelona because he got hacked alot and ended up leaving to Napoli. I could be wrong as this was happening before my time but I think that is what happened, I think Maradona suffered a serious injury from a game against Bilbao which took him out for a year (hacked) and then after he transferred to napoli to revitalize his career.

 

rememeber if you can that Eusebio would also get beat down. So this type of treament of star players is nothing new

 

What? Not true at all... In Spain you have much more time on the ball, the defenders aren't as athletic, and they won't bring you down from behind. You can see in the most recent game against Spanish opposition.

The best players in the world will be fouled, just like Maradona, Ronaldo Lima, Ronaldinho, Ibra have been in the past, but its much more open in La Liga, you think Messi would have done that darring run last year in the EPL? After he made 3 people miss he would have been brought down...

Ronaldo is going to do fine in La Liga.

 

I definitely disagree with this. The Spanish teams generally just have stronger personnel in recent encounters. But look at the Porto vs Atletico game....Atletico was having all sorts of problems with Porto. The forwards and wingback ran all over them, they passed them and were allowed to continue on.

 

That Barca team was incredibly talented. Anybody would've lost to them.

 

I think him playing in La Liga might help the National Team.

 

Ronaldo expressed comments that he is upset that some figures in the FPF questioned his absense from the National team friendly. Most notably Madail and Carlos Queroz

Also, maybe its time for a change to the thread title. or a New CR thread.. . after all hes a Real Madrid player now so the title is dated.

 

Well we are almost at page 30? What if we just make a new thread? Z, you want to do the honors?

 

Alright. Page closed. Check out the new thread here...
