shall i tell you the biggest difference between this guy and messi? talent, contribution, intelligence and so on, i’m skipping all that. ronaldo gets unhappy deep down when a teammate scores, i can feel it. purely because he wasn’t the center of attention. the guy’s concern isn’t winning or anything, he just wants the attention on him. messi, on the other hand, does the complete opposite, doing the best he can to set up his teammates to score. for him what matters isn’t being the one who scores the goal but being the one who wins the match. and this difference right here is what we call character.

the most absurd of all the arguments. "he challenged himself. and he was successful at it too." as if messi was unsuccessful. 10 seasons in la liga, 2 titles. 7 barca, 1 atletico. there's cl success. real madrid won it 2 more times after ronaldo left. ronaldo didn't win anything. he went to a juventus that had been champion 7 seasons in a row in italy and that played a cl final and a semifinal the following year. is this challenging yourself? juventus, who played a cl final, got knocked out in the round of 16 twice while ronaldo was there. the first year to ajax, the second year to porto. the argument they call "challenging himself" is hollow. it's not substantial. as a matter of fact, in 2019 and 2020 they were champions, juve's 9th in a row, and what a coincidence that in the 10th season, the first season in a long time they failed to be champions for the first time, ronaldo was on the team. so for you, is challenging yourself going to a team that's been champion 7 times and experiencing the 8th and 9th titles, then failing to win the title in the 10th season? what ibrahimovic did, making milan, who hadn't been champions in 11 years, champions at 38 years old, that's challenging yourself, for example. not what ronaldo did :d at the start of 2021-2022 he returned to united. the media made up some story that man city wanted him and everyone believed it :d why would pep want ronaldo at that city, for example. a year later they got haaland. the premier league that united finished 2nd in before he came, they finished 6th after he came. while they were competing in the champions league, they joined the europa league. he achieved no success with the united shirt in his second stint, neither in the league nor in europe. but his going to united also comes up before us as a "challenging himself" argument. in portugal, since 2020 he has been nothing but, and only, a burden to his team. because of his unbelievable lobbying and his diva-like tantrums, 10 guys are suffering for his sake on the national team. because they can't produce one decent forward, portugal is forced to put up with this, but for 6 years he hasn't done a single rational thing in the national shirt besides taking penalties. now when and where did this guy ever challenge himself? what is he able to do that messi wasn't able to do? without there even being any need to write all this nonsense, it's impossible for someone whose brain works, whose eyes see, and who knows football to watch both of them and claim that ronaldo is better. if they claim it, either their brain isn't working, or their eyes aren't seeing, or they don't understand football. the matter is this simple.

"you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain," that line was said for him. the mind that kept him in the competition for years, ever since his body went into decline, is causing him to believe in things that aren't real and to poison himself. the biggest reason for this is himself, of course. the decline he's been in for 4-5 years, the statements he makes and the things he does have gotten into such a crappy state that he's worn out even his own fans and is turning into an object of hatred worldwide. he has no respect for anyone anymore either. the disrespect he's shown to messi, his old coaches, his teammates, other leagues and players, it's a dime a dozen. if he'd retired after the 2022 world cup he'd be remembered with something like 10 times the respect he gets today, and if the process keeps going like this, especially if this world cup ends in failure, he'll be remembered as one of the biggest vermin in the football world, his fans aside.

his fans have laid into the instagram comments of the portugal national team players. they're hurling insults at the world's far-and-away best midfield, saying you're playing badly, you can't manage to get the ball to ronaldo and so on. they've targeted not only them but their girlfriends too, dumping vomit emojis and the like under their posts. by the way, his sister likes posts taking shots at bruno (just like ronaldo commenting on and liking posts taking shots at messi), saying they post stories and forget to play football and so on. ronaldo is silent, posting only himself in his posts.
the exact same scenario happened in 2022. the united locker room ruined with ronaldo's arrival, finishing 6th in a league that had been finished 2nd and going to the europa league, bruno living through his worst individual season, being benched, the piers interview before the world cup, ruining the portugal national team locker room, sitting on the bench, the social media squabbling, getting knocked out. they called him up for euro 24 and he got knocked out without being able to provide 2 goal contributions. now, knowing full well all of these will be repeated, and even though the same problems have been talked about for years, you (out of necessity) call him up to a billion-dollar squad again and you go through the same things again. ronaldo may seriously still believe in his own mind that he's the best, he's aware of the generation he's got in hand too, and just like in the nations league, he's okay with snatching success with a few goals and crying on the sideline over a non-major cup. if it's lost, who cares.

messi had 3 sentences before the world cup; he says "if i feel physically ready i want to be there, i don't want to be a burden on the team, and when scaloni calls to ask my opinion let the squad be announced and we'll see whether i'm in it." then you ask why his teammates don't love and respect him the way they do messi. if you have your federation and fifa file an application so the goal of a ball you didn't touch gets credited to you, nobody will love you. these kinds of things can't be obtained with goals, they're won with character. the only thing ronaldo can do is provide goal contributions, and even if he does that, he's actually more of a harm than a contribution to the team. i don't think a single person, the coach included, wants him at the camp, but he's so powerful and has so many fans that people, never mind taking action, are even afraid to comment. go ahead and watch the pundits here, even here they're afraid of the backlash and can't criticize this absurdity. the portuguese are very strange too, they can stomach going through the same thing every tournament with this generation. picture a player who has 970 goals but everyone in the world is sure his team would be more successful without him. just like in the interview he gave in the 2010s where he said "i want to leave at the top, with my honor, at a big club," a person should know how to leave without making themselves say these things. then again, he's the architect of everything he's been through too, he's deserved all of it, that's a separate matter. he'll go out and score 2 goals and walk around again like he's the one who won the cup, and if they get knocked out the only one to blame will be his midfield that won the ucl 2 years in a row, or his coach, and he'll heart the posts that write this.
