I don’t even dislike him as a player as much as I dislike like him as a person.
He’s arrogant, narcissistic, downplays the achievements of others, talks too much, always makes things about himself, a liar, delusional, thinks he’s the best when he’s not.
After Argentina’s shocking defeat to Saudi Arabia—a result that stunned the entire world—fear and anxiety spread across the Argentine fanbase.
Just hours later, Lionel Messi came out with the statement that would become iconic:
“I ask the fans to trust us. This group will not let you down.”
Yesterday, Cristiano Ronaldo was asked about the World Cup and said:
“I lack nothing in life. Winning the World Cup won’t make me a better Cristiano, and not winning it won’t make me a lesser Cristiano.”
Imagine that. Instead of using the moment to lift his teammates and reassure the fans, he chose to talk about himself and his own legacy.
And then people wonder why reports keep surfacing that many Portugal players don’t get along with him.
They laughed at you and said Messi didn’t have the personality to be a captain.
Time revealed who the real leader was—the one who put the team before himself.
In the end, time has a way of exposing narratives that people spent years trying to sell as the truth.
Arsenal fans need to realize that the players that won them the Premier League are actually good players not scrubs and upgrading on them is not gonna be as easy as they think.
Trossard has been one lf the best wingers in this on going World Cup, he’s been Belgium’s best player by some distance.
You watch Ronaldo play in his prime, or whenever. You watch his compilations on YouTube or wherever, and you see nothing that Neymar, Vinícius Jr., Hazard, Henry, Zidane, Cruyff, Ibrahimović, and the likes could not do on their good day.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the luckiest player of all time for one reason alone: he played in a generation highly concentrated with philistines who manufactured the Ronaldo vs Messi debate, thereby making that comparison the highlight of his career.
Anybody compared to Messi is, by that comparison alone, great.
That is Ronaldo's privilege.
The highlight of his career is that history permitted him to stand beside Messi in the public imagination.
Life has never been fairer to anyone.
Tu marques l’unique but du match en Coupe du monde pour ton pays mais 87 000 personnes décident de t’insulter, toi et ta femme.
Pourquoi ? Parce que tu fais passer le collectif avant les individualités égoïstes.
Soutien à João Neves face au harcèlement injuste qu’il subit.
🎙️| Pedro Neto on why Portugal players are not passing to Cristiano Ronaldo:
“People keep asking why some of the players don’t pass to Ronaldo as much anymore.
The truth is, sometimes it feels like everything is about one thing: reaching 1,000 goals. Every attack, every chance, every decision on the pitch ends up going back to that number.
We are at the World Cup. The priority should be Portugal, not personal records.
I think some players are frustrated because they want to play for the team, while Ronaldo is always thinking about scoring the next goal. That’s why you see certain players choosing different options instead of forcing the ball to him every time.
Cristiano is a legend, nobody can deny that. But right now it feels like the 1,000-goal record is more important to him than winning the World Cup, and the players can see it too.”(@talkSPORT_)
Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes, Pedro Neto, João Neves et sa copine subissent insultes et harcèlement sur les réseaux sociaux.
Mais où est le capitaine Ronaldo pour défendre ses coéquipiers et recadrer ses fans ?
Ah mais non, j'avais oublié que cette situation l'arrange pour faire oublier à quel point il a été mauvais et que ce n'est pas sa faute.
Dommage qu'il soit aussi égoïste et lâche. Il confirme qu'il n'est pas un leader et poursuit sa fin de carrière catastrophique.
@appiecule Two things can be true at the same time:
Ronaldo is Portugal’s greatest-ever player.
And Portugal can no longer depend on him the way they did 10 years ago.
That’s not disrespect. That’s football. Every generation eventually passes the torch.
