And just to think this was before he peaked. the 3 - 7 years that followed, he was God tier. They mentioned he scores 40 goals a season, he's done over 60 goals a season in the years that followed
I think this test was performed at the right time in Ronaldo's career. He had the body and skills too. In the later Madrid days he was a different beast though
Ronaldo was reluctant to do this. He was thoughtful that opposition players could use it against him. He was a good sport to do this. The show was watched by many fans in the UK when it was first aired
This doc doesn't really go into much detail. But I bet the info ronaldo got was much more than this. This is just for the fans to get a look at what makes him tick
That lights out test was a bit crazy, to be honest. It basically means that Ronaldo can judge the flight of the ball (once it's been played) and then adjust accordingly without thinking about it, let alone seeing it.
if u look closely u can see that the first piece of glass he hits flies so fast that it makes a perfect hole in the 2nd one for the ball to fly through and break the 3rd one... that's a lot of power!
The funny thing is this video was made before he peaked his career at Real Madrid. It shows that he is 24/7 committed to the craft and success is a result of that
39:40, Ronaldo's technique is not usual, but the basic method (of wrapping the foot around the ball) is how everyone creates curve with the inside of the football, you can actually create opposite spin by using the out side of the foot (usually more spin, but its a little more wild (Roberto Carlos free kick against France is the most famous example)
Learning to curve the ball we called it curling where I grew up was one of the toughest to learn because you underestimate the power of your legs sometimes you think you gave it a little kick and you've absolutely launched it.
Seriously he can player into 57 years if he wants to . I don't get tired watching videos on CR7 while I tack that enthusiasm in Messi game . For anytime you watch CR7 is like eating a fresh made meal , you get filled and satisfied but still crave for more . He is that addiction that you love in and off the pitch and don't want to go away . Have you not seen his RU-vid show or his interviews? Even you notice during football award life broadcast, 90% of people watching want to see CR7 and they are eager to hear what he has to say . I love to hear is opinion on matters . He is a brand and believe me he is just also a commodity . If you make a video on Messi, any famous person from any works of life and CR7 you will be shocked with the number that will stream in for CR7 video. That is how crazy the magnitude of influence he commands now in the world.
Best Player. He proved in different Leauges. I live in Frankfurt Germany but i'm from New York. You have to see how great Frankfurt was in the UEFA Europe leauge 2018 as the Underdogs. Great City , Unbelieveable Fans and Team. The Only Team that beats Bayern Munich everytime. The City look like New York just in Small
Ronaldo is the GOAT under pressure. He delivers in the big games every single time. Against a Barcelona team with Messi, Neymar and Suárez? yeah, your boy Ronaldo showed up and delivered. All of these other reactors (not going to name them) are focused on statistics a bit too much and forget that there are levels to this game. Imagine if Jordan had to play against Kobe for the majority of his career, multiple times a year, and keep his statistics at the same level? that's what Ronaldo and Messi have both done for over a decade at this point. It's crazy.
Bro Ronaldo lost more than once against Messi ( even in champions league finals) , when Messi was the best player of the game and Ronaldo didn’t show up. He’s clutch, but not this much like you say.
Stop lying man , Ronaldo record against Barcelona & Messi is more losses than wins and against the trio as well including a 4-0 at Bernabeu and during the time Ronaldo was at RM Barcelona & Messi were far too dominant in El classico buddy go check the facts and btw you're talking like there wasn't a trio called the BBC in RM and Ronaldo was all alone . Ronaldo is an amazing athlete and a great great goalscorer but he ain't no GOAT , that debate is between Messi , Maradona & Pele and nothing can change that and actually you said poeple focus on stats and that's exactly what Ronaldo fans do especially goals stats take those away and there is literally no comparison between him and Messi
dang i just watched the video a few days ago n skipped whole of online school to watch it bru out bad😭🤧iwas dying laughing from it tho nocapbut im hype to watch this😎
Cristiano Ronaldo is Top goal scorer of all time(803), top international scorer of all time(115) most hatricks ever (58), most header goals ever(140), he scored 4 goals in a match 8 times and 5 goals in a match 2 times.

His highest jump to score a goal is 2.93 meters (9 ft 6 inches) CR7 airlines ✈️✈️ unbelievable GOD of soccer 🙌
Shooting/passing curved balls, kids learn it playing football as early as 7-8y old. So it's not that hard, but the extend you can do it, control it, depends on your ability. And if you're a natural and practice, you can become very good at it.
That’s very exaggerated they aren’t expected to replace Ronaldo and Messi, they are meant to be the future of football, but not expected to be in contention for the best player of all time in there prime 😂
Idk if this one is too long, but "The Biggest Game of All Time | Derby Days Superclásico | Boca Juniors v River Plate" is pretty nuts. One of the biggest rivalries in football.
wonder if he altered his training routine after going through these tests. above n beyond, so many awesome players to tune into. great seeing americans appreciating footy. tc - aw the best from scotland
Cristiano Ronaldo's Knuckle-ball is probably the most difficult technique in world football! I highly recommend you guys to react to a video showcasing Cristiano Ronaldo shooting knuckleballs!
They can't, the reason they did this with CR7 is because he showcased athletic ability no other football player has ever had. Mbape can't jump as high, VVD can't sprint that fast and so on and so forth.
@@sonnyminamino8167 But he's not the fastest defender is he? He can't outrun prime CR7, let alone a speedster like Mbape, there is no way to justify this test being done on someone like VVD because he lacks in other attributes, the only player that comes close to getting tested is Haaland and he also is not near being a complete athlete either.
Other players be like Fruits with the age they become mouldy But ronaldo is like wine he just become better and better Next month he will become 37 Most players on his Position would be done now for years Kobe was great to but at the end it's Basketball...alot pressure but not the same Ronaldo really the Goat
Im biggest fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and his my childhood hero also Cristiano Ronaldo is my club Manchester United football club legend and his still playing for us ❤😍. I am so proud and feel pride for him how he became important part of football player of all time he became superstar from my club with help his football godfather Alex Ferguson Manchester United successful managers. You should look at him because sir Alex Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo have huge respect and strong relationships like father and son of football. sir Alex Ferguson his the most successful long-term manager he won lots of trophies from my club. Manchester United. Manchester United was biggest successful club ever due to sir Alex Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo was part of that successful. Now Manchester United is struggling a lot. There's so many damages 💔 😢 has been done by our owners glazers they ruined our club .
I think this is why many people consider Ronaldo better than Messi. Many players like Zlatan etc have said messi is god given born talent, Ronaldo is like a machine. And that’s the difference between them. Ronaldo pretty much can’t dribble like Messi because of messi’s short frame and low centre of gravity. Of course he’s worked really hard to get the skills he has but genetically he’s built to dribble. Ronaldo has had to work hard and develop things like his jump. He never had that until like the 08 season at united. He all of a sudden started leaping like a high jumper, like in these tests. He sat on the trading pitch and in the gym and at home just jumping every day to get that skill. He’s built himself way more than Messi has. Look at the difference between Ronaldo as a teen playing and Messi when he was a teen. Messi hasn’t really added much. He’s mastered what he already could do to a god like level. Ronaldo has just literally added things like jumping, speed, acceleration, touch, free kicks, shooting with both feet, on and on. Both amazing but Ronaldo is a machine, Messi is a messiah. That’s how I see them both.
Actually Leborn James is a Cristiano Ronaldo of Basketball...🤣 Ronaldo is most iconic athlete in the world but L.James is only in USA NBA is very low than Football
Is football you can’t take long strides with the ball because you have to keep the ball close to your feet. If you took the long strides like the sprinter chances are you have less chance to react to an opposing player taking the ball from you. Also you would be able to change direction or dribbles instantly with out spreading your legs apart as you are sprinting. I don’t know if that made any sense. I think most footballers probably will do the same.
