Ronaldo is comfortable when he cuts in from wings , even when he is playing as a poacher starting from wings makes him comfortable . Playing an entire season from center won't do any good for him . Even in his peak , he used to struggle to take the ball forward in close spaces in center . He was always that forward who can beat full backs from one on one situations . But dribbling in close spaces was not his cup of tea . you won't get the same freedom playing from center like when you cut in from wings

i doubt that. those two are easily Real's best outfield players. Together with Ramos it is to them that CR owes his Real CLs and Ballon D'ors.

It's annoying that, for a long time, Messi's success was credited to his playing with Xavi and Iniesta. You don't hear the same about Ronaldo, Ramos, and Marcelo, even though they have been as integral as CR in Real's recent triumphs, just like Xavi and Iniesta were between 2008-2012

He owes his first CL to Van der saar . Would have been a epic choke , after missing a penalty . Unfortunately Messi didn't had anyone to support him like that in Copa America

Well, without him they likely wouldnt have made it to penalties in the first place, just a thing to consider.
Everyone misses penalties now and again, barca-supporters should know.

If you havent noticed, Ronaldo cant really dribble anymore, not even from the wing(unless he is already running at speed). As far as wing-play goes, we will get better play with someone like Isco or Asensio out wide. Marcelo essentially functions as a wing already, but it would be nice to have another winger out there. Its not because of his dribbling i would put him as a striker anyways, and its not like Benzema/Morata are much better in tight spaces either. Benzema, btw, is shite this season, so might as well give Ronaldo a chance there now.
At least Ronaldo is great in the box, Benzema has like, 10 goals this season?

Benzema has only scored 9 goals this season in league . I got your point , but i thought perez was looking for someone like Aubameyang next season

ouch

 

[xavisionary]

I've not seen this story mentioned in any UK newspapers. Odd.

 

[SeloBarca]

I wonder what would happen if it will be proven to be true, if RM would sack him, and what FIFA would do.
Can he go to jail despite the settlement?

 

[Windhook]

Nothing is going to happen. Papa Perez all the way. Just like his offshore tax affair.

 

[BarcaOG]

not surprised no one in England is talking about these allegations. For the English the EPL is the best league; Ronaldo having excelled there has always made the English media lionize him

Exactly! In England they worship Cristiano as being their own product (he is not, Sporting Lisboa, folks.). Probably him being protege of Alex Ferguson is the main reason for the British members of this forum to have that much respect for the guy. In non-Barca forums some even believe Cristiano is superior player compared to Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo isnt idolised in England or seen as a home grown player.

He is about one of the most disliked players going amongst non Man U fans and even a lot of Man Utd fans I know think he is a prick but was great for them.

Where are the press in other countries who are all talking about this? Is it main stream news in any country?

I don't doubt that at all. Many news sources have confirmed this, plus knowing his temper and ego, I'm pretty sure he wasn't holding any breaks after the match when Marcelo and Modric are in question.
His ego is so huge that he doesn't see him self (missed couple of great chances and was invisible for the big part of the game), but has no problem blaming his teammates for his failure and it wouldn't be the first time he did that.
When he's not served - that's a problem.

Imagine the psychological burden when playing with such a queen. And we seen how good they look when he's out. All young players in the squad feel more comfortable.
