Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

[The Observer]

You know you belong into 2nd division when Ronaldo's stepovers work against you.

 

[Theconomist]

This season the best player has been Zlatan

By far.

But very few will admit it.

When was the last time one of our players had such one-on-one opportunities?

You can see 5 Schalke players on the screen at most, and they are all running towards their own goal... Yet when we play we see a 10 man wall of death ever single time...

Obviously, this is not Cristina's fault, it just pisses me off...

 

[Dinho]

Yeah but he's still been outstanding every game recently, it's not all about numbers.

Tiresome

Sturridge is the new boss in town.

 

[Dinho]

and still has more league goals than anyone in europe

He's good at scoring 3-4 goals against relegation fodder, which helps inflate his record.

Norwich and Wigan last season. Norwich again this season.

He's still a top drawer player.

To be fair, he did commit him to the correct foot, sticking out the other one if you're not sure which way Ronaldo is going is suicide, it wasn't terrible defending.

 

[kollegah]

damn i have to admit, he is unbelievable good at the moment

 

[suckabov]

He hadn't scored from open play in more than a month before the Schalke game. For those two goals against Schalke he needed 10 shots, whereas Bale & Benzema needed 4 respectively

That won't happen very often this season, even for Madrid. It's just how Bundesliga rolls. They don't know defense. I made a post about this in the Iniesta thread a week ago or so.

Yup, I read it... Good insight, by the way...

The fact that he had that many opportunities to score proves his workrate is very good. He was involved in a lot of actions, and he also provided two assists for Benzema's goals. I'm no fan of Ronaldo, but the man plays like a true Ballon d'Or at the moment.

At the moment? You mean in one match against Schalke? Benzema had two assists too btw. Does he play like a BdO winner?

I know almost everyone here hates Cristiano Ronaldo, so it's no surprise people don't give him enough credit. There is some sort of twisted logic, almost a cult, which says that, if you like Messi, you absolutely have to despise the portuguese. I want no part of it.

 

[suckabov]

Nah, I just think his "current form" is overrated because he wasn't so great before the Schalke match. In fact, that was his first good match in a while.

You completely deflected his post. It's odd that you are all over ronaldo after a game where benzene was better than him. He's been suspended for 3 games. He's obviously not ballon for material sitting in the stands.
