Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, is still fighting for the Hercules Cup at the age of 40

C Ronaldo's career has entered the "twilight years", and the fact that there is no trophy in Riyadh is indeed regrettable. However, it is known that he has scored a lot of goals, and he deserves respect for still maintaining his form at this age. Of course, looking at Ronaldo's entire career, if you want to give a comprehensive evaluation, then there is no suspense about words such as "top, historic, one of the best".

But the problem is that Ronaldo’s fans, team, family, and even himself all know that what he wants most, or lacks most, is the Hercules Cup. This is also the basis for his persistence. Will the stage next year be his?

No matter how other people "accuse", "oppose", or "criticize" Messi-Argentina's journey to win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar (just quoting the opinions of some opponents, without any intention of expressing a position), the facts are established, the championship trophy belongs to Argentina, and Messi has broken the record. This is a thorn in the side of the president, even though they are thousands of miles apart, and even though they have nothing to do with each other, they continue to interact with each other.

However, every time you scratch an inconspicuous place, you will always get pricked. It doesn't hurt, but the energy is always there.

Let’s take a look at Ronaldo’s career! When he started in Manila and arrived at Manchester United, he was no different from the likes of Garnacho. He was full of talent, gorgeous skills, and very confident in himself, but in fact, he needed a reliable endorsement. He was endlessly ridiculed by veteran players, and his feud with Rooney in the World Cup almost destroyed him. It was Ferguson's support that gave Ronaldo a chance.

Therefore, for Ronaldo, this is a benefactor who can never be forgotten. Of course, the same is true for Manchester United.

Since then, he has soared into the sky. The shouts and passionate celebrations on the rainy night in Moscow have become the classic moments of the little Ronaldinho in red, and of course, they are also the last feast.

When he came to the Bernabeu, he experienced too much under previous coaches. The upgrade from winger to shooter does include an inappropriate adjustment of his individual functions. However, what you can't object to is that even if this is "forced", it has achieved endless brilliance. The shooting numbers are here, needless to say (he is the top scorer in the Champions League and the national team).

Coming back, the national team could be regarded as a "one-man force" at first, especially in some competitions such as 2008 and 12 (such as the European Cup). Unfortunately, it always fell in front of other opponents (Spain was too good at that time). 16 turned out to be a butterfly. Unfortunately, it was a big pity to retire from the final due to injury. Afterwards, the UEFA Nations League achievement was also a bonus. Although it was ridiculed by many people as a "friendly match", they actually reached the top.

Writing this, I guess there will be many excel fans who will refute, ah, Ronaldo’s performance in the finals of the competition was so bad, and he relied on the midfielder. In fact, to be honest, fans who can refute like this have already thought deeply and are persuasive. In this regard, my attitude is: what they said is completely correct, and the data also exists objectively. However, if you look for similar problems for Messi (including Modric, Lewandowski, Dembele, Vinicius, etc.), you can also find them.

As the saying goes, data is a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone. How "beautiful" it is depends on your own aesthetics.

Therefore, the same is true for Messi and Ronaldo. It’s absolutely okay for you to like Messi (Cristiano Ronaldo). That is your freedom and is based on your personal preferences. However, it is not the "ground" for you to object to another. The same applies to the diverse world of football. There is no need to be too narrow-minded. Win-win is the basis of game theory, and everyone should believe more in this. After all, empirical evidence is much more reliable than imagination.

Let’s talk about Ronaldo. With so many achievements here, it is obvious that Ronaldo is one of the best in football in these years (twenty years). This is true even if we look at the entire history of football.

But, again, he definitely doesn’t care about this anymore. When will that barb be pulled out, and when will he taste the joy of football again. Because the weight of the Hercules Cup is too big.
