From 'Eternal God' to 'Occasional God': The Journey of Cristiano Ronaldo

Janak9955

He is proud but kind-hearted; he is low-key yet admired by the masses.

He can make football dance at his feet,
Applying his skills with mesmerizing mastery.

Is he an angel in human form or a harbinger of the underworld?
No one knows!

But what's certain is that everyone calls him:

C————Ronaldo————!!!

Cristiano Ronaldo, a world-class football star known for his lightning-fast dribbling, unmatched physical prowess, and well-rounded skills, especially in breaking through defenses and scoring goals. However, in recent times, Ronaldo has faced continuous controversies:

Firstly, since his transfer to Manchester United, Ronaldo's position in the team has been somewhat awkward, and his coordination with teammates appears unfamiliar and less natural, as if they lack that telepathic connection they once had.

Secondly, Ronaldo's personal form seems to have undergone subtle changes, leading to discussions about retirement and sparking various online controversies. As the central figure, Ronaldo cannot simply ignore these issues.

Lastly, there's the well-known incident where Ronaldo angrily knocked a child's phone out of their hand, which put him under public scrutiny and led to intense debates on ethics and human rights. To a large extent, this has also affected Ronaldo.

Due to these challenges, public perception of Ronaldo has shifted from 'Eternal God' to 'Occasional God.'

He can sometimes completely disappear during a game, delivering an unremarkable performance from start to finish, and even venting his frustration by angrily knocking a phone. On other occasions, he can score three goals in a single game, single-handedly saving the team from a potential defeat and significantly influencing the outcome of the match.

Before the recent English Premier League match, Ronaldo had completed multiple games with questionable performances, showing no signs of improvement.

However, Ronaldo is still Ronaldo, and he made a triumphant return against Norwich City, scoring all of Manchester United's goals in a dominant display!

It was Ronaldo's outstanding performance that allowed me to win my bet on this match, so I must thank Ronaldo.

Ronaldo's increasing concentration on individual performances is evident in an increasing number of games. In a sense, he is no longer the exuberant young man he once was. However, he still displays incredible tenacity, unwavering spirit, and unyielding determination, delivering one classic performance after another.

On September 11, 2021, against Newcastle United, Ronaldo scored two goals by himself.
On September 30, 2021, against Villarreal, Ronaldo scored the match-winning goal.
On December 2, 2021, against Arsenal, Ronaldo scored two goals by himself.
On March 12, 2022, against Tottenham Hotspur, Ronaldo scored all three of Manchester United's goals.

With the recent match played on April 16, 2022, Ronaldo's collection of classic performances continues to grow, solidifying his well-deserved status.

Perhaps there's no better phrase to describe Ronaldo at this moment than:

'Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.'

Cristiano Ronaldo needs a strong midfield. If he had stayed at Real Madrid in 2018, he would have won the Ballon d'Or in 2018. His goal tally wouldn't have dropped significantly in these years. If he had joined Manchester City in the summer of the year before last, his goal count in the Premier League would probably have exceeded 30 by now. It can only be said that Ronaldo's reunion with Manchester United happened at the wrong time.

It's evident how crucial it is for an athlete to maintain their physical condition. Earning millions of euros a year, spending 2 million euros on body maintenance, and extending one's professional career by a year can result in earning tens of millions more euros. This is an economic calculation, but unfortunately, many players don't know how to do the math. Cristiano Ronaldo is smart in this regard.

Some say that Cristiano Ronaldo is already in the past, but he continues to use his performance to prove that he is still in the present.

Heroes all have a day of closure; it's a natural law that no one can resist. At least Cristiano Ronaldo has shone brightly and left a significant mark in football history.

Every athlete experiences highs and lows. When they are at their peak, we should support them, and when they are in a slump, we shouldn't abandon them.

Whether he's an eternal god or an occasional one, when it comes to football, he's undeniably a legend! He has brought joy and excitement to everyone, and even provided ample opportunities for sports gamblers to profit. For this reason, countless people will always hold him in high regard.

As for other aspects, even gods aren't perfect, and there will be those who don't like him. That's understandable, and it's also forgivable for any mistakes made by a god!
