The peerless duo are fired again! FIFA changed posters and secretly stepped on Cristiano Ronaldo. This operation is too understanding of traffic.

When Ronaldo once again received a red card for elbowing, mocking fans or missing posters, we seemed to have become accustomed to this familiar script. Public opinion was overwhelmingly critical, fans defended him hoarsely, and traffic was reveling in the quarrel. But if we escape from the debate about whether he is an angel or a devil, perhaps we will discover a more intriguing truth. Today's football world may be unconsciously in need of a controversial Ronaldo.

The latest report is that after everyone discovered that the FIFA poster had missed the printing of Ronaldo, due to the pressure of public opinion, it was later replaced with a picture of Messi holding the cup. On the surface, it seems to be a low-level publicity mistake, but deep down it is a subtle narrative shift. Any sports league needs to constantly introduce new protagonists to maintain the appeal of the story. When Ronaldo's career enters the script of a hero's twilight years, the publicity machine will naturally look for new contradictions, such as B fee in his prime. This is not a denial of the legend, but the inevitable metabolism of commercial narratives.

Finally, Messi-related content was added, which directly made this topic full. Moreover, he is also very good at operation. He caught up with the never-ending hot topic of the peerless twins, and put Ronaldo in a position that everyone stared at, compared with Messi, and even ridiculed to a position. After all, a hero who is unconvinced and still perseveres has a much stronger story and is more interesting than a legend who has gone smoothly and retired perfectly. FIFA knows this routine and story very well.

Everyone is complaining about Ronaldo's cell phone and sarcastic behavior, thinking that he is immature in doing so. Thinking about it from another angle, this is actually the character of the aloof fighter in his will, but he can't help but explode under high pressure. Cristiano Ronaldo has spent his entire football career building the image of a strong man who goes against the world and slaps everyone in the face with his strength.

A long time ago, someone said that it was not practical for him to play football with all the bells and whistles. He relied on training hard to transform and responded with goals one by one. Later, they said that he was too old and could no longer do it, so he went to the Saudi League to prove himself with eye-catching data. This mentality of fighting the whole world can easily turn into the current extreme behavior when the team is not going well. In his own view, these behaviors of elbowing and taunting are strong counterattacks against unfair fate and provocation from the outside world.

And the media likes this kind of controversial plot. A person who is calm and restrained and obediently listens to the referee. How can a Cristiano Ronaldo, who angrily throws the captain's armband and mocks the fans, be more topical? Every time he caused controversy, he became a hot topic in the traffic era. On the contrary, his dramatic image of being blown up at the slightest moment was completely strengthened.

Therefore, we can come to a rather unexpected conclusion. In the current communication environment, Ronaldo's controversial points actually have special ecological value. He is like a powerful topic magnet. Whether those who quarrel with him, those who defend him, those who criticize him, or those who like him, they all revolve around him, forming a huge whirlpool of public opinion.

This vortex is of great use. It provides the media with endless material, gives fans a clear emotional destination, whether they love it or hate it, and even serves as an excellent reference for competitors. Cristiano Ronaldo may not necessarily want to be a villain on purpose. He and his team must also know that controversy is a huge influence and wealth in itself. In this way, posters missing him, opponents provoking him, and referees punishing him have actually helped him consolidate his position as the eternal focus of the football circle.

So next time we see controversial news about Ronaldo, they should not rush to take sides. It is better to treat this matter as a real sports blockbuster, starring Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also half a producer. We are both spectators and extras participating in it. This drama about the arrogance of genius, years and controversy will always come to an end, but before it ends, every noise it makes defines the complex face of football culture in this era.
