Cristiano Ronaldo Is Deadly Sorry

Cristiano Ronaldo Is Deadly Sorry. The Fantasy Footballer’s Dream Is Shattered

That’s all. Great, no – The greatest player of our time – Cristiano Ronaldo – ingloriously flew out of the World Cup. You can argue as much as you like, whether it is deserved or not. Personally, such a departure seems insulting to me, but this is not an offense for Ronaldo, but for Portugal – I just don’t like anti-football. With Cristiano, emotions are much more complicated.

The main tragedy of Ronaldo is how he leaves. Cristiano put everything on this World Cup, giving a scandalous interview about Manchester United. Bet – and lost. Lost without great drama in the actual match with Morocco – he did not have an incredible moment with a hit on the post, a miss on an empty net or a penalty. And now all the fans in the world have a great opportunity to trample on it.

Yes, those who want to gloat can say that he himself is to blame for everything. And not just because of the interviews, the controversy over the hairless Worlds and the dissatisfaction with the substitutions. In case you haven’t forgotten, Cristiano actually failed pre-season, or rather, simply missed it. He explained this with family problems, but the crisis of the Portuguese was already clear then – the fuss with the future club played a role. And today we only saw the sad ending, to which all these events led.

But this is Ronaldo. He is both guilty and not guilty at the same time. Because this text, like thousands of other texts and tweets around the world, would not be written if Ronaldo was different. If he didn’t put everything on the result, didn’t challenge himself and didn’t annoy the fans, Ronaldo would not be himself. And if he wasn’t himself, he wouldn’t feel sorry for him at all.

But Cristiano is deadly sorry. A fantastic player (many seem to have forgotten about hat-tricks and insane statistics in the Champions League) was left with a dream destroyed. Shattered to smithereens – after all, he flew out with the national team, having the status of a legend, but not even having a place in the first team. He left the field in tears, and these tears are what the whole world will remember. How the world remembered Zinedine Zidane passing the World Cup in 2006. Only there was a final, and the great Frenchman already had the title by that time.

I wish people would remember 20 years of his incredible career. Goals for Sporting, hugs with Alex Ferguson, Golden Balls at Real Madrid and the status of the top scorer in the history of the Spanish club, a hat-trick against Atlético for Juventus, the role of “head coach” in the Euro 2016… It is a pity that the last one is best remembered.
