I must have said this a billion times and I’d never stop saying it…at the end of the day, Cristiano Ronaldo is the one that brought all this nonsense upon himself, allowing players like Thierry Henry and Ibrahimovic that never got to his level talk about him the way they do.
That move out of Real Madrid is the greatest mistake he ever made as a footballer. He was on a crazy high then and allowed his pride get the best of him. Yes, he deserved to be treated better or maybe given a better contract, but leaving wasn’t the solution at all, he then went to a Juventus that had old players that couldn’t compete anymore, then they created a narrative that he ruined Juventus.
Even Lionel Messi said he was shocked Ronaldo left, it’s as if he gave Messi the platform to go ahead and be seen as the better player while he roams about looking for where to find consistency, but like Modric will always say, it’s downwards after Real Madrid.
Mind you, when he left, he and Messi was tied at 5 Ballon D’or each and if he stayed, that was the season he was gonna overtake Messi in the Ballon D’or ranking for the first time in over 8yrs, I’m sure he felt it was already a guarantee, but Papa Perez had other ideas. Perez did what every other president would, he had to fight for his own player to win it, Modric, since Cristiano was no longer a Real Madrid player, Modric was the one Perez was going to put in front.
Cristiano Ronaldo leaving was another reason Zinedine Zidane left, who knows how many more Champions Leagues and Ballon D’or he’d have won if he stayed & the story would be totally different today, but that one decision ruined what was left of his career.
Perfect story, perfect match, score the goals, we do every other work for you. Now the other clubs he went to kept saying his goals were hurting them, even Juve. Pathetic.
That is why I keep saying Vini fans that wants Vini to leave because they think he deserves a better contract does not like Vini, where does he want to go?
Bayern? They have a LW
PSG? They have a LW
The Premier League?
You people don’t like Vini, you actually hate him.
But then, I’m a die hard Cristiano Ronaldo fan
During good and bad times
THAT’S MY GOAT.
Even when he makes stupid mistakes
THAT’S MY GOAT
Even when he’s being human and make wrong decisions, HE REMAINS MY GOAT.
THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT!!!
You may be wondering why it's possible for teams to replace players in their squad even after the World cup has started.
The truth is that ational teams cannot simply recall or swap players whenever they feel like it once the World Cup is underway.
Here is how it works.
According to the Regulations, every nation is required to submit a provisional squad of up to 55 players.
From that pool, they are then to name a final 26, including at least three goalkeepers, on or before FIFA's official deadline.
Once that final squad is locked in, the freedom to make changes almost disappears.
For outfield players, a replacement is only permitted in the case of serious injury or illness, and only up to 24 hours before the team's FIRST match. The replacement must come from that original provisional list, and it requires FIFA Medical Committee approval with proper documentation.
After that 24-hour cutoff, the outfield squad will have to remain unchanged for the entire tournament, group stage through to the final. Any player that gets injured at that point will stay registered but cannot be replaced by another player that's not on the squad list.
Goalkeepers are the exception. Because three keepers are so essential, a goalkeeper can be replaced at any stage of the competition if he is unfit.
We have just seen the outfield rule in action. England lost Tino Livramento to injury before their opener against Croatia and brought in Trevoh Chalobah, who was on standby. It was allowed precisely because it fell inside the 24-hour window.
It's fair, but it's also unforgiving.
I hope you have learned something today.
