🚨🇵🇹 Cristiano: “I know that whoever works hard, God helps him. It was a tough week, a dark one, it started as if I had retired from football”.
But I held on as I always hold on because I believe in work more than football. It was tough, I have to admit, but we came back”.
🚨🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo: “They said I should retire… but I am here”.
“The noise from outside is always like this, but we can’t control it. We keep going and we are united”.
Piers Morgan is the cause of all this, gaslighting my man to be speaking rubbish during interviews. Glazing him just for clicks and views, fucking prick.
As someone who got to witness Cristiano Ronaldo develop into one of the best players on the planet nearly 20 years ago, it’s sad to see what he’s let himself become at the twilight of his career.
The tension within the Portugal squad, the obsession with Messi, it just feels like the ego has consumed him and having Piers Morgan as your biggest cheerleader is embarrassing too.
Grateful as a Man Utd fan that I got to witness him at his very best in 2008.
It was a gross miscalculation for him to be in that Portugal squad for this World Cup, he’s 41.
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.
