This guy is playing in his 6th World Cup! Before now, he has singlehandedly won the Euros for his country. Over 20 years now, in a sport where most careers do not exceed 10 years and certainly very few are ever at the very top, for more than a handful of years, this guy has remained at the very top for over two decades! But it seems nothing can ever please everyone. Last week and even at the last Euros, there were people spouting off on the telly, that he should be benched. They were piling pressure on his manager to drop him. And very done to Roberto Martinez for ignoring all the noise and sticking with Ronaldo!
Today, he became the first person in history, to score in 6 World Cups!
I’m sure Cristiano doesn’t really care what his detractors say; and there are so many of them, because for whatever reason, they do not want him to carry on succeeding, because it annoys them that a 40year old can be running for 90minutes and still perform at such high levels.
We can be better. But we choose not to be. …
Well done Cristiano! The very best to you man!
