Cristiano Ronaldo
I see football as an art and all players are artists.
If you are a top artist, the last thing you would do is paint a
picture somebody else has already painted.

Ronaldo is a versatile goal scorer who likes to cut in from the
left wing and shoot with his favorite right foot. Ronaldo’s
heading ability is beyond what most players can achieve. It’s also
important to note that Ronaldo’s weaker foot is better than
Messi’s weaker foot. Ronaldo’s ability is also exceptional in
taking free kicks, but over the years Messi’s technique has gotten
better. When it comes to taking penalties however, Ronaldo has
proved to be more superior; always calmer and more composed to
score even in the most demanding times from the spot kick.
Over the years, Ronaldo has also changed their styles of play to
adapt to new teams and connect better with new teammates. For
example, At Manchester United, Ronaldo wasn’t primarily a goal
scorer as he’s in Real Madrid now. At United, Ronaldo was an
all-around player who frequently dropped to his own half to pick
up the ball and orchestrate an attack. He often mesmerized us by
his breathtaking long range shots from outside the box. His
dribbling skills were almost at bar as he tried find his way
through packed spaces in the mid-field. In fact some strong fans
of the Portuguese international still prefer ‘The Ronaldo at
Manchester United.’
At Real Madrid, Ronaldo’s role has gradually been reduced over
time to goal scoring. As such, scoring goals has been a major way
for Ronaldo to prove his credibility in the current game, and
fairly enough, his resiliency has made him blossom in this role.
The number of goals he has scored since switching to Real Madrid
speak for themselves.
