Fitness, durability and longevity are huge things when discussing players… Cristiano > Luis.

Just watching a Cristiano you tube vid…
Another thing that sprang to mind…He is genuinely two footed.

My biggest bug bear about ALL footballers is that, they earn a billion pounds a week, and do NOTHING but train to be even better, yet hardly any of them are two footed…To me that is CRIMINAL.
I played semi pro, but I can kick with both feet, my right is stronger, I’ll admit, but to anyone watching, it would be difficult to tell…
BUT!..Messi, totally left footed, Wilshire, left foot only, Foden, same…I could go on.
Very few really good two footed players around…Cristiano, Santi Cazorla, Original Ronaldo, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Zinedine Zidane and Eric Cantona are the ones that stand out for me…

Haaland, Sancho and Mount are all English born and CR7 would have been a PL stalwart when they were kids.

Not to mention CR7 is looked at as an example of what someone can accomplish with hard work. I think players look at CR7 because they believe he can be emulated whereas nobody in their right mind is going to ever emulate Messi

I also think players want be like Ronaldo not only for his football success but for his popularity as well.

Potentially the least mind boggling thing I’ve ever read.

No, it isn’t mind boggling at all, literally not even slightly.

ā€œYoung players admire one of the very greatest of all timeā€

What on earth is meant to be mind boggling about that?! It would be mind boggling if they DIDN’T massively look up to him.

Edit: damn, beat me to it @Craigie :joy:

If these players don’t idiolize Ronaldo, then there is something wrong with them; unless his rape allegation is putting them off.

Ofcourse
CR7 is definitely better than a nobody

Not better than a certain body that is Messi’s
