made a question pop into my head…Would 365 or anybody else in sports media write such an article about Messi no matter how badly he behaved? I think not, especially since they’ve spent the past 12+ months avoiding talking about the Argentine’s not exactly small role in Barca’s current financial mess and blaming others for his poor season at PSG.
CR7’s main motivation for wanting to leave Utd is to secure his Champions League goal scoring record before he and Messi retire which totally makes sense. If this was about making more money I’d agree with the criticism but it isn’t, this is about legacy which I find hard to fault. Ronaldo’s ego might not be everybody’s cup of tea but he seems like a rather decent guy off the field so give him a break.
Ronaldo is probably having a massive laugh at all “the agony” he’s causing such sportswriters, whatever his decision is it’s up to him, and it’s perfectly okay if he hasn’t made a decision yet either. I’d probably lose all faith in football and indeed humanity if he just fecked off because a portion of people who spend too much time preoccupied with “the idea” of him influenced whatever he was going to do. You’re sick of Ronaldo keeping his options open? Then stop reading football news.
We’re all forgetting that the big reason Ronaldo went to United over City last season was because Sir Alex called him and basically said “don’t go to City and tarnish your legacy”. He was going to City, which wouldn’t have been a betrayal because he was aiming for a high performing team, and they wanted him. He got talked into going back to United, saying he doesn’t love that club ignores the fact he rejoined because of a guilt trip basically. It completely swayed the decision.
I’m not saying “blame Ferguson” either, maybe just don’t buy so heavily into this CRISIS crap that permeates through news so often. Ferguson has earned the right to be influential as much as he desires, he is a legend of the game. Ronaldo too who is still performing brilliantly at the things he can still do is more than allowed to take his time.
