Ronaldo

[Horatio]

Which club does he support this time?

Do you think Ronaldo has passed his prime. I'm not a hater, just think his not as good as he was anymore.

Probably, but then again he is 46 and weighs about 120 kg so will cut him some slack.

Would expect more from a Dutchman Barca fan speaking about former PSV man that played for Barca

🚨Cristiano Ronaldo (81) scored more Serie A goals than Ronaldo Nazario (59) despite playing four seasons less 🤯


Oops.

Oops.

One was playing against peak Serie A...the other against a Juventus who had won 7 in a row without him

Oops

Oops.

Numpty stats.

Cristiano Ronaldo played 8441 minutes in Serie A... Ronaldo Nazario played 6768.

Nazario in harder league, in less dominant side and a good chunk of that playing after career alterning knee injuries.

Ronaldo scored near on 20 penalties one season for Juve also... as a club they got worse with him despite the goals... out in Europe earlier, got less points, scored less goals and lost title for first time in decade.

That is the reality.

Oops.

Says more about R9's inability to stay fit than CRs goal scoring ability. Man played like 15 league games per year in Italy over 6 years. Incredible.

R9 in Serie A: 0.91 goals per 90 min
CR in Serie A: 0.86 goals per 90 min

R9 had his peak periods in Serie A.

CR7 was washed up at Juve...

Love how the "experts" here pretend availability isn't an important trait in all time discussions.


The mental gymnastics done to include this fat arse in all time teams is pitiful.

 

[L3v1s]

You'd probably put Lewandowski above R9.

 

[KingLeo10]

Billions of people around the world call Ronaldo R9

I only know of 2 people who use "RL9" for Lewandonkey unironically

 

[Nazario1985]

Between age 18 & 21 R9 can put to shame anyone bar Messi

34 goals in 34 appearances in the league for Cruzeiro, and 54 goals in all competitions... while barely 17. Also destroyed Boca Juniors in Copa Libertadores the same year.

You'd probably put Lewandowski above R9.

Lewandowski has the much better career.


Numbers at every level don't lie.


Also Van Basten is just flat out better. Brazilian Football has the best image and marketing which people like Neymar benefitted from. Nostalgia is a dangerous drug. R9's style of play isn't sustainable and he found out the tough way.
