Some people in these youtube videos from Euro 2004 say that they liked his style better than now... I know that now he is more of a complete player and a team player but back than I believe he just had this youthfulness to him, a very cocky attitude, I spoke to a friend about this and he said it was obvious back than he had the state of mind like "Im gonna break the sh!t outta you and embarrass you" lol now its just like very mature and good player but a entertainer either way, what do you guys think? From his style back than if you could describe it? and now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4LnEFmCLYc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mErXr-MMz8o&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w60YiWlPOzc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8q7Uj1nNOw&feature=related
Then: over-elaborate, far too selfish, immature, less end product. Now: more direct, more team-focused, far more mature, far more productive. It's all part of a natural progression, and if his footballing brain continues to mature, his 'best of' highlight reel on any given year might become less and less noticeable, but he will become a far more complete and much more devastating player. As I said, if he continues maturing and doesn't get hampered by any injuries (be they broken bones or ongoing muscle problems) the thought of Ronaldo at 27-30 years of age is a scary one.
