The Ronaldo v Cristiano Ronaldo




The Ronaldo

The Ronaldo       Trumps
Acceleration 10
Incredible acceleration to take him away from defenders in the box and give him a split second to put the ball in the back of the net. Or to burst past them to give him a head start chasing a ball played in. Or to get away from a player when he had used his skill.
Trickery 9
No Ronaldinho, but he could slalom his way through a packed defence while running at speed as well. At his best it was breathtaking and you could not help but get to your feet and applaud him.
Goalscoring 9
Scored at a rate of about 2 goals in every 3 games throughout his career, no matter how good the opposition were.
Strength 9
He was a thoroughbred with the power and strength to match. Even running at pace he was almost impossible to knock off the ball.
Pace 9
Quick. Very quick.

Acceleration 9
CR7 has genuine lightning acceleration, it enabled him to be almost impossible to stop as a tricky winger and has meant his transition to out and out old-fashioned centre forward has been so smooth. You don't need to give him an inch as he just takes it!
Trickery 9
It was not so long ago that he was heavily criticised for being too busy doing tricks and being a show pony. Now He has stepped back a little from all the step overs for the sake of it, everything he does has the aim of getting a shot off.
Goalscoring 9
Has an incredible ratio in recent years, but his early years as a winger he, for obvious reasons, did not score so many.
Strength 9
All those hours in the gym have given him a brute strength very few players can even compare to. He may look like a pretty boy, but there is more to him than that and he is certainly not afraid to mix it physically.
Pace 9
Blistering pace, though it is beginning to fade. A little.
