Pretty ridiculous point. He still scored 31 goals in 34 in his penultimate season in the EPL and has spent all of his peak years in La Liga. You don't think he could have scored more hat tricks had he spent the rest of his career up to this point in the EPL? Strange time to talk about the poor quality of opposition he's scored hat tricks against on the back of consecutive hat tricks against Bayern Munich and Atletico. No he was rubbish in his final EPL season. I think it is the season before last you are thinking of, his one and only prolific year in England. The season he was prolific he was drifting a lot more, and it was catching Premier League teams out, as they were failing to pick him up as he made late runs into the box. It was clever, but they worked it out by the next season, much to Ronaldo's frustration. He was also taking penalties by this point for United, but bottling them on the biggest occasions (the CL semi final against Barcelona, then the next match against Chelsea in the final as well) Yes, his penultimate season, which is what I said. It was hardly a rubbish final season either for a winger - 18 goals in 33 would be good by any other standards. And it had nothing to do with teams "working him out". PL teams can't work Aguero or Kane out, but they COULD work Ronaldo out? Come on! He wanted to go to Real Madrid in that season but was persuaded to stay by Ferguson. His heart was not as in the club as it was the previous season. This together with the injury set back he suffered at the beginning explains his noticeable drop in form. A missed penalty in a shootout to a CL final in which he also scored in, 10 years ago? You may as well be knocking him for not curing cancer. |

He wasn't really a winger in the traditional sense by this point, he was playing more like Thierry Henry in his Arsenal days, a forward drifting in from wide areas. I can't say I saw every game but I'm doubtful he was just running up and down the touchline and helping the full backs out. I'm pretty sure actually that Wayne Rooney was playing wide more than he was. And yes, sorry, you did say penultimate, my mistake! And he was lucky he won the CL, in the semi final his penalty fluff was bailed out by an Englishman named Paul Scholes. And in the final he was bailed out again, this time by an Englishman named John Terry. |
