Ronaldo was a terrible passer. But my goodness, what a dribbler and his shooting was both clinical and powerful with both legs. At Madrid he was a shadow of this monster
I feel his pain because it happened to me also in my right knee, it was the worst pain i have ever felt in my life and my knee was swollen almost to the size of a football i swear to god just thinking about the pain and that night hurts my heart, and seeing someone go through that is Just really really uncomfortable to me
Imagine a player with the skill and dribbling capabilities of Messi and the strenght and power of Cristiano. That was Ronaldo (as well as Pelé). It was nuts
There’s never been a player as good as he was at 19 before his knee exploded just the most frightening force I’ve ever seen the combination of power and speed was nearly biblical.
I read that his muscles were very high in relation to the support provided by the bone structure of his knees, because when he was younger during his PSV stage it was suggested that he increase his muscle mass quickly, in this video of the injury, It is seen that at the moment of braking is when he feels the small tear of the patellar tendon. He was out for 6 months, and when he returned he injured the SAME TENDON in his right knee again, that time the injury was a complete rupture of the patellar tendon. So yes, this was the last game of the real PHENOMENON
I saw afterourinho interview. But honestly Messi is waaaaaaaay better 😅 Argentian players legends are high quality than Brazilian players. Quantity: Brazil Quality: Argentina
People not witnessing Ronaldo at that time can never understand how loved he was. Even the opposite players were upset he got injured. I've watched Maradona, Zidane, Messi, Cristiano etc. only player that came close to pure football besides Ronaldo was Ronaldinho.
Moj najomiljeniji igrac , ali nije najbolji po meni jer ima dosta promasenih sutova i slab je bio u slobodnim udarcima, mislim da mu ke falila preciznost.
I was 11 years old in 1990. First time i saw Ronaldo was against Scotland in 1994 WC. I knew straight away he was something special. Just s shame he was unlucky with injuries. Like Del Piero we never got to see the peak because of injuries.
