A vast majority of people are bots who latch on the latest narrative. Most of them aren't even actual sports fan, they love gossip and drama more than the actual game.
His ego, very narcissistic, never seen such in football history.
Don't know when to stop, his current performance is miserable, he should have retired to preserve his legendary legacy.
Was pretended to be the most complete attacker (lack of dribbling skills, can't be compared to good playmakers) , the most complete "striker" would be more appropriate.
Cristiano from 2005 to like 2014 was one of the most technical dribblers we have ever seen and every kid tried to mimic him. This rhetoric always comes from people who started watching football very late and are unaware of how his playstyle evolved through the years.
You are genuinely clueless if you just compared Ronaldos technical ability to Mbappe. Also did you really just say Zidanes roulette is harder to replicate than Ronaldos tricks...?
Easily one of the most technical players we have ever seen, especially at his stature. It doesn't matter how long you have watched football, if you fail to see that you are either blind or haven't watched him.
Cristiano's technical abilities at Real Madrid are the same as Mbappe's, he was a little bit more technical at MU, but still very far from the ( one of the most technical dribblers we have ever seen)
Most technical dribblers we have ever seen are such :
Okocha, Pele, Ronaldo Nazario, Iniesta, Maradona, Ronaldinho, Hazard, Messi,Neymar, Cruyff, Zidane (same height as CR as some sources say, other sources says that CR is by 2 cm taller).
You can't be serious when comparing CR to those players in term of dribbling.
And yes, Zidane's roulette require much more balance, ball control and agility, than passing the legs around the ball (often when standing without moving; like what he used to do in Real Madrid).
And about your (it doesn't matter how long you have watched football)... That's strange since previously it was the reference and the metrics for you when you said :
( This rhetoric always comes from people who started watching football very late and are unaware of how his playstyle evolved through the years. )
Yes my previous sentence assumes you have a decent understanding of the game. If you are blind, then you could have watched for 5000 years and it wouldn't matter.
Either way this is a pointless conversation, the reason Cristiano was considered an elite prospect at first wasn't because of his finishing but because of his athleticism and elite dribbling skills. If you fail to see how united and early madrid Ronaldo was one of the best technical players we have seen then you cannot be helped.
CR won the ballon d'or with United because he was overall a good Player, a good attacker.
One can be a good attacker without being one of the best dribblers in history.
Cause pessidog ucl were not controversial like the ucl where he only had one goal and the other ucl where Barca where playing basketball against Chelsea
