Cristiano Ronaldo: Ascending to Greatness

With great talent and great ambitions, this is how Cristiano Ronaldo started his career similar to many other players, but talent alone is never enough, it must be accompanied by several other key factors, hard work, strong will, self-confidence himself and a strong personality, this is the story of Cristiano's beginnings and how he reached the top of football in the islands of Madeira and in particular in the capital Fonshall Cristiano took his first steps towards a football career he focused very early on football instead of studying at school and due to the relative poverty of his family background his mother agreed with his decision to focus on his dreams, reflecting to some extent his financial situation at the time Christian played for his club Andurinia local amateur from 1992 to 1995 while his father worked as a fitter at the club news about a young Cristiano became the national youth coach, who by the way was Fernando Sose, Ronaldo's godfather, Fernando played an important role in the initial decisions of his Christian career, especially with the absence of his father Dennis on many occasions while he drank his sorrows and despite the attempts of the elders. club in Madeira Martimio by bringing Ronaldo Nacional attracted Cristiano more since they finally completed the deal two sets of kits and 20 soccer balls was the seal to get Cristiano who was only 10 years old in Nacional Cristiano had his first experience in an academy real soccer team and the national coaches were concerned about Cristiano's malnutrition that could slow his development and asked his mother to provide him with a diet rich in fish and meat, but in all cases the talent was there and while a Typical child his age would train for two hours a day Cristiano used to train with the ball between 10 and 12 hours a day because he had no schoolwork or household chores to worry about and in a couple of years Cristiano became too big for the island his The next step was a matter of At that time, Cristiano's godfather again played an important role when he mentioned Ronaldo's name to Joao di Fretas, who was the president of the sports fan club in Madeira di Freitas had good connections with the staff.

Lisbon sports team, mainly Aurelio Pereira was the main scout and was responsible for bringing in talents. As Futere Figo Kuarizma Nani and Motinut Sporting, at that time the scouting process was very simple and based on intuition, which is why Pereira gave Cristiano the opportunity to try out for a week at Sporting's national academy. He had the debt to pay off Sporting. Lisbon related to an old transfer that amounted to 25,000 euros and it was difficult for them to pay it, so they thought about offering Cristiano to try to cover this debt. Obviously the price was quite high to bring in a 12-year-old youth player, but Pereira managed to convince the board as Cristiano He flew out of Madeira for the first time in his life and landed alone in Lisbon, which caught the attention of the sports coaches and, in particular, Aurelio was Cristiano's personality, there was no doubt about the talent, but the coaches thought that his Personality attributes were revealing after the trial Aurelio agreed to Cristiano's permanent stay in the summer of 97 when he officially became part of the sports academy Cristiano faced great difficulties in the sports academy the accent in the capital was very different from that of madeira and there was no age group that matched Christian's age so he had to join an age group two years older than him and basically lived away from his family for a long period.

It was easy for Cristiano to give in and return to Madeira and he was close to doing so, especially at the beginning of his period but he stayed in the capital Lisbon to achieve his dreams and despite his enormous focus on training and his competitive Christian spirit he faced many problems. off the field and especially in his academic studies which were mandatory for every academy player and Christian faced another problem as it was discovered that his heart was racing and he had to undergo surgery and surgery in the year 2000 it took some time free and returned to training three months later at sporting club, the coaches tried to make Cristiano understand that the ball was not his, he had to transform from an individual to a team player and as time went by, Cristiano developed a lot since the transfer He was rewarded with his first professional contract in April 2001 and with the help of the most famous Portuguese agent at that time, José Vega.

The contract was for four years and with a monthly salary of 2000 euros. At 16, Ronaldo had a termination clause that amounted to to a considerable 20 million euros at the beginning of the 2001-2002 season, Cristiano was financially able to get his mother to move to Lisbon and as his family was more united, Cristiano managed to get very close to first team football in sporting as he was summoned to train with the first team by romanian coach laszlo bologna after several training sessions bologna wrote a report on

ronaldo

the negatives weak aerial ability uses a weak technique defensively weak physically weak has no tactical awareness as an individual or as a team player very selfish and He lacks composure and concentration but after months and months of training Cristiano managed to adapt to the first team in training but Bologna still thought that it was not the right time for him to play in official matches since Cristiano was still showing some tricks that they did not have room in real matches and much less in training and nonsense they even threatened not to call up Ronaldo if he didn't stop playing sports, he successfully won the league, the cup and the super cup that season, and the coach, stupid, managed to integrate youngsters like kuarizma and viana in the starting eleven, but

ronaldo

was still waiting for his chance as the season had come to a close.

A Portuguese agent named Jorge Mendes entered the fray. Mendez planned to pick up three players from the sports academy who were Cuarizma, Diana and Ronaldo, all of whom were represented by José Vega. Mendez sat down with these players and promised them that he would find big clubs that were interested in them. their talents and that will help them earn no less than a million euros in an instant and after Mendes managed to recruit Cristiano, he sat down with him and his mother to convince her of his ambitions, so in September 2002 Cristiano terminated your contract. with Vega and therefore Mendes was now his agent in the following season.

Sporting's main striker Mario Jardel had intentions of leaving in the following season so Bologna had to look for another attacker either in the middle or on the wings. Football director Carlos Freitas informed the coach that there was no budget to acquire a new player and that is why he proposed using Christian nonsense. He agreed with that suggestion as the Romanian coach believed the teenager had improved massively in recent years at the academy. Cristiano played as a central forward or as a striker. second striker but nonsense decided to use him as a complicated winger and before the season began, nonsense praised the press this young man will be better than josephio and figo the teenager managed to score his first goal as a professional in a friendly against real batis while the graphics wrote on the screen the name of the young custodian Ronaldo, then he made his professional debut against Inter Milan and in the Champions League tie that Sporting ended up losing, he scored his first official goal in the league against more rarity in October and entered in the last minutes against Boa Vista and managed to score the winning goal, a very promising start, but Cristiano Ronaldo did not start the matches consistently, which was normal for a teenager of only 17 years old, but in reality it was enough for attracting the attention of several European clubs and Sporting had won only one title that season, so the coach was fired at the end of the season.

Méndez warned Sporting that if Cristiano was not a starter next year there was a good chance that he would go to another club and Jorge Mendes was very active in that. year while lining up several offers for Cristiano and the Portuguese teenager said after the Tollon tournament that he was happy to receive the attention of many important clubs and that he dreams of playing in Spain or England now let's see who were the real candidates to sign Cristiano in the summer 2003. First war Valencia Paco Rogue one of the presidential candidates before the elections had agreed with Mendes to sign both Cristiano and Quartzman if he won the presidency nine million euros for both Liverpool and their coach Gerald Olier were interested in the player Since they offered 8 million euros, Cristiano reacted to the offer and said that it was one of the best clubs in Europe, it would be a dream to play for a club that represents so much tradition.

Luis Suárez, Marathi legend and consultant at that time, was interested in Ronaldo because he saw him in action the previous season and told Morati we have to sign him, he will be one of the best players in the world. Morati was not convinced, especially when he knew that Cristiano was only 16 years old. The boy since Inter was one of the biggest spenders in the market in that period, but did they make an official offer? Juventus intensified its efforts to sign the young Portuguese, but its Chilean striker Marcelo Salas refused to go to Sporting in a commercial agreement with Italian side Parma. offered 8 million euros for the player the director of the real madrid academy ramon martinez met with sporting to ask about ronaldo barcelona was interested in jorge mendes' clients humor quaresma thiago deco and ronaldo but they pushed to sign kwarzma and They offered a preferential contract to Cristiano but in the end it was of no use.

The club that made the most advanced conversations with Cristiano was the Gunners. As Jorge Mendes recently said, there was a moment when I really thought he would go to Arsenal before the summer, particularly in January. In 2003, Cristiano and his mother flew to London. He visited Arsenal's training facility and sat down with Arsene Wenger and his football idol Terry Orri. Ronaldo, Author's biography, Guillem Balague, mentioned that Cristiano fell in love with the club and what they offered in terms of of football philosophy and the care with which young players are treated Arsenal agreed all terms with Sporting and there was a concrete agreement between both clubs.

Arsene Wenger even took the number nine shirt to Cristiano, but when vice-president David Dean went to Lisbon to finalize the deal, he offered an initial offer too low for Sporting. Arsenal had some financial constraints, of course, with the construction of the new Emirates stadium, but there was another English club that was successful in the negotiations. Everyone seems to think that Cristiano was transferred to Manchester United because of his performance against the Red Devils in a friendly match in August. 2003, but there was a lot of planning on United's part before that, in the 2002-2003 season, Ferguson's assistant at the time, the Portuguese Carlos Quiroz, received some reports about Cristiano and instantly knew that the club had to act quickly. about any responsibility in terms of recruiting young players, but I informed alex about Cristiano's management.

I had doubts about Christian, but Kirosh had a brilliant idea. Carlos Kirosh was the coach of Sporting Lisbon from 94 to 96 and had several good connections in the club, so he managed to reach a special agreement with the sport to exchange methodologies and ideas between the two clubs, which in essence would make certain agreements in the future would be much easier and thanks to this agreement, Ferguson managed to send Jim Ryan, United's second team coach, to watch the training sessions. At the Sporting Lisbon facilities I have seen a player, I think he is a winger, but he plays as a central forward in the youth team.

It wouldn't take long to declare our interest. There will be other clubs after him. Ferguson suggested the idea of ​​signing Cristiano to the management of Sporting. But with the condition of keeping him on loan at Lisbon for a year, it was a similar condition suggested by many other clubs at the end of the season and due to the special agreement between Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United, the Portuguese team suggested booking a friendly between the two. teams to celebrate the inauguration of their new José Alvalade studio. The match was scheduled for August 6, 2003. One day before the friendly, Jorge Mendes met for the first time with Sir Alex.

United's interest in Cristiano was evident in that same summer beckham went to madrid viron went to chelsea and ronaldinho rejected United's offer and went to barcelona so now let's see what's on the table sporting knew that ronaldo and mendes were not interested in renewing their contract with him club despite new manager Fernando Santos promising to play with Cristiano as starter Ferguson and United wanted to inject new blood into the team and Cristiano filled in that Will Mendez knew that sealing this deal would catapult him to the forefront of all football deals, so that the agreement made sense for each side and for the The only thing missing was thefigure, but Ferguson knew United could beat any other clip and Cristiano knew the deal had been agreed before the booked friendly when he entered the game to show Manchester United what they would get in turn from Ronaldo.

Look at that beautiful one. little trick you have here is ronaldo ronaldo to hit ronaldo again he has done it for 85 minutes incredibly fast destiny he is going to be a superstar and tonight he has shown us exactly what he can do it was the first time sir alex glimpsed Cristiano vida While talking about that night recently and making a revelation, the biggest rush of emotion and anticipation I experienced in football management after the match, Ferguson realized that the deal had to be done immediately when director of football Freitas said that United decided to pay more.

In addition to the agreed fee to get a player immediately, instead of spending a year on loan at Sporting, they ended up paying a final price of 12.2 million pounds for a five-year contract as Cristiano. The annual salary increased from 24,000 euros at 2 million euros and Ferguson promised Méndez that Ronaldo would play at least half of the games next season and when he arrived at the club Cristiano asked him for the number 28, but Ferguson gave him the responsibility of wearing the number 7 shirt in United, the legendary number worn by United legends such as George Best, Steve Koppel, Brian Robson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham.

A great transformation in Cristiano's life, so he will comply or not within that period. United were league champions four times in the last five years. But ferguson thought the team needed some sincere energy and that's one of the factors that made sir alex successful for a long time. He made changes while his team was on top four days after Cristiano was presented to the media, he was given his debut when he faced Bolton on the opening day of the first division, the excitement in the stands was palpable. Cristiano managed to win a penalty for the team and was named player of the match four days later Luis Corradi gave Cristiano his national team debut with Portugal Also despite Cristiano's promising start his teammates were not convinced of his style of play on the field and as weeks and months passed, his convictions were reflected on the field.

After a few games, defenders around the league began to give Cristiano harsh and physical treatment. The teenager's reaction was negative as he lunged and jumped across the field. field slowly but surely. He earned a reputation that would destroy the career of any young player he wanted to show off instead of trying to integrate with the team. The talent was there, but he. had to drastically change his playing style, let's look at some good and bad examples from Cristiano's first season with United, a speculative shot from distance as United were losing while ignoring other options. Great pace but weak physical strength when the defender pushes him with a great free kick. different technique to the one he uses today, great ability to escape from Chelsea's pressure and in the last clip we see a great ability to escape from Arsenal's pressure, but it is followed by a bad pass.

United had a completely different philosophy, but Ferguson treated the teenager just as he treated Cantona in the past, differently to the other players, although he was tougher than him, at times Fergie knew that despite his lack of tactical awareness and work As a team, Cristiano had the right mentality for any professional, as Roy Keane had said that he was immediately one of the hardest working players at United in all cases. Cristiano's first season was tough. His first goal came in November through a free kick against Portsmouth and until January he managed to participate in 19 games starting in 11. but United were in a period of transition.

That season, when they lost in the last 16 of the Champions League against Porto and Mourinho in the league, United finished the season and third position behind an improved Chelsea and an Arsenal who remained unbeaten throughout the season, United reached the FA Cup final when they faced Mellowell of the Championship. Ferguson decided to use Cristiano from the beginning to give him the idea of ​​competing for a trophy. The struggles of the season were behind him as he looked much better. It could be one of the most important games of his career as he was outstanding with the Portuguese and scored the goal through Ronaldo as United handsomely won the game by three goals to nil.

It's United's year for the fa cup again. Luis Colari gave Cristiano some international caps with the national team before the Euros which were held in Portugal that summer and Cristiano successfully joined Scolari's final team for the summer tournament and became the sixth youngest player in the history of the competition. He arrived at the training camp full of confidence when Kolari said that he is a good boy but someone must have told him that he is the best in the world and if he thinks he is it will be very difficult to work with him in the group stage Cristian was gaining more minutes As the tournament progressed in the first match against Greece, Cristiano came on in the second half and gave away a penalty and then scored a goal, but eventually Portugal lost and, after an assist in the victory against Russia, Cristiano started the crucial match against Spain. , where Portugal won and Cristiano was named best player of the match, he started the quarterfinal match against England, where Portugal won on penalties and then assisted and scored in the victory against Holland in the semifinals and managed to be in the starting eleven in the final against Greece, as Cristiano became the youngest player to do so in the history of the competition, but the match ended the same as the first match. of the tournament when greece won against all odds christian lost a great opportunity and was very upset after the defeat christian returned to join as a different person as assistant mike phelan had mentioned he returned as a man his body shape was different his facial features They were different too and we think he is an athletic physique for the British game.

Physically he was different, but his performances remained inconsistent and that began to wear on his right-wing partner, Gary Neville, who questioned the Portuguese's defensive duties. Will you live with him for another time? 12 months in which this player is doing well but without scoring 25 goals, in which he can switch off and not defend and when we look at some examples within the season we notice that Cristiano still stood firm in showing his new skills and was wrong in several. decisions in most games, but I noticed that he improved slightly in several different things, he began to pass progressively without delay, he now has a great shot, he scored a goal and, with his weak foot, his physical resistance began to last throughout the match. and he began to successfully overcome the defender's challenges.

The improvement was evident but he still had one or two years left to perform at a very high level and despite the return of assistant Carlos Kerros and the signing of golden boy Wayne Rooney United, he was still far away. far from competing, especially with the arrival of José to Chelsea and the enormous expense that occurred there since last year's history was repeated and United finished the season in third position, 18 points behind champion Chelsea, which was followed by an early exit in Europe. against milan in the round of 16 of the champions league, which was a difficult match for Cristiano, but the team managed to reach the final of the fa cup again, this time United faced Arsenal in the final, the team who was defeated both at home and away. of the Red Devils, the team against which Cristiano Ronaldo scored the double and showed fragments of his scoring attributes Manchester United Manchester United in the FA Cup final Cristiano again had a great performance just as he did last year, but this time It was against a great team, as he was a step quicker than Arsenal's solid right back, Lauren, as Cristiano played on the left this time and was therefore the number one victim of some rash tackles throughout the game, but The final had to be resolved through penalties and while Cristiano successfully converted his penalty United could not retain the cup and ended the season without a title without a trophy when we see Cristiano's numbers for the season we notice his great performances within the FA Cup , but despite some marginal improvements in terms of goals and assists from Cristiano He was still not one of the most important players on the team.

Cristiano's performances over the latter half of last season pointed to a great third season for the young Portuguese, but what really happened on the pitch was a drop in form and inconsistent performances from him, and there were some questions. on how to use it correctly to get the best out of his attributes although ferguson did not think he would become a clinical forward carlos kerros had a different opinion over time and when he is 28 years old or even 29 years old i'm sure that Cristiano will become a forward pure but far from how to play correctly with ronaldo on the field the young man received the tragic news of his father's death in September 2005 and his mother said that Cristiano's father drank himself to death and that the drugs and alcohol destroyed by Ronaldo were a pillar in the neighborhoods of Madeira and when Cristiano managed to help his brother Hugo, who was saved from drug abuse, he could not save his father, who rejected any kind of help from everyone.

These personal problems left their mark on Cristiano that season. When he was sent off for a dangerous challenge and made an obscene gesture directed at Benfica fans and was arrested after being accused of sexual assault, his insistence on showing his skills and tricks and delaying crosses began to affect his relationship with the team's main forwards. rude by nestoroi the dutch striker's main currency is goals of course and he went from beckham's quick and precise crosses to a young player who preferred to use his skills to take on players vanessa roy's numbers took a big hit as she scored 44 goals in the 2002-2003 season to 16 goals in the previous season, injuries were also a factor, in addition the relationship between the Portuguese and the Dutch became very complicated during the season and the rest of the team sided with Vanessa Roy because they thought that Christian The adaptation period took a long time.

Gary Neville also had his doubts when he said he questioned Ronaldo's performance midway through his third year. He was getting to the point where I was wondering if he could really be a top player. Let's look at some clips from that season. I saw a lot of fantastic skills in that season which can confirm Vanessa Roy's impatience as she waited a long time for the center in every match, most of Cristiano's shots were successful but it may not be the right decision on the field . Here goes old Twinkle. toes again there are several examples that point to his physical development other examples that point to his great skill and counterattacks and we saw that season and for the first time Cristiano successfully score a free kick with the same knuckleball technique that Ronaldo uses today that It's better, that's much better, it's an absolute belt, he also managed to score his first European goal in the Champions League qualifiers.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his first European goal, but for the third year in a row, United were struggling as they were eliminated from the Champions League. league from the group stage in a group that included via real benfica and lille, it was the same story again in the league when chelsea escaped and lifted the first division with a difference of eight points over United and after a early exit from the fa cup. They only had one chance to lift a title in the League Cup final against Wigan. The strange thing that happened in the match was that Ferguson decided not to select Vanessa Roy and preferred to select Saha Ronaldo and Rooney in the starting lineup.

Rooney scored the double. Sa scored one. and ronaldo added another as united handsomely beat wigan in the final. These are Cristiano's numbers for the season. It doesn't seem like he has risen to the level expected but there are some slight improvements in terms of goals. It was a year of development like Ferguson. I saw it, but fans weren't sure as they saw Chelsea's continued spending when Shivshinku Kalu Balak and Ashley Cole joined in the summer of 2006, while United decided to sell Vanessa Roy to Real Madrid and Roy Keane left for Celtic in November last season. After some problems with the manager and then Michael Carrick came from Spurs, it was a difficult summer for United, but Ferguson was confident despite failing in the league for three consecutive seasons.

The young core he possessed had to step forward quickly. Cristiano joined the Portugal team for the World Cup and played two group stage games and scored a goal against the Iranian team and the boy from Madeira in the round of 16 Christian was one of the victims of the battle of rules against the Dutch and was replaced due to injury. At first there was some fear that Cristiano would notplayed against England in the quarterfinals, but recovered quickly and started this crucial match. After an uneventful hour there was a physical battle for the ball between rooney, petit and carvalho and then ronaldo arrived. to ask for the expulsion of his English colleague tempers are burning on the field after Rooney's expulsion cameras captured ronaldo winking at the portugal bench the match finally went to penalties when portugal goalkeeper ricardo successfully saved three Carragher attempts while Cristiano scored the match deciding penalty Portugal are welcome semi-finalists Portugal managed to pass this test but the fans and the English media will not remain silent that they wanted the scapegoat for his exit and the easiest victim was Cristiano especially after the wink Christian spoke about the wink and said that it was a reaction after receiving instructions from the coaching staff to move forward and take advantage of the numerical advantage but the truth did not matter to the media Cristiano was now England's number one villain after the game Ronaldo Ferdinand and Rooney argued The matter immediately supported them, but Rooney warned Cristiano that this would be something very important for the English fans and the press will talk and analyze the issue throughout the summer.

Portugal lost the next match against France and Cristiano was chosen as the third best young player in In the post-World Cup tournament and after seeing the strong response from the English media, Cristiano seriously considered not returning to Manchester and this thought arose despite the constant communication between his teammates, Rooney and Ronaldo. Cristiano asked Méndez about the idea of ​​leaving, but Méndez advised him to leave. In the end, back in Manchester, Ferguson sat down with Méndez and Cristiano at Carlos Quiroshi's house and talked about how Beckham went through the same animosity in '98. You are one of the bravest players to have come to Manchester, but walking away is not It's courage.

After a few days, Cristiano spoke to the press. There is no reason for me to leave a club that has always supported me. Everything will be decided next week. It was clear that Cristiano was staying at that moment and he was ready for the challenge. He addressed the issue of best possible way finally christian arrived at the early summer training sessions ferguson sat would be captain gary neville rooney and ronando instantly felt that the team was united and on top of that, sir alex managed to create the feeling that the whole world was against Manchester United's opening match of the Premier League against Fulham had the most media attention of the weekend.

Every gesture and reaction from both Rooney and Cristiano was analyzed. The media painted the false image that Rooney and Ronaldo were not there. The The transfer was still open, so they thought that a bad start to the season could push the Portuguese to leave, but the reality was far from being the case, as United destroyed Fulham. This is an incredible start for Manchester United for Ronaldo. Rooney. Supplier. The away finalist matches in the league were a totally different story as alcohol and insults accompanied every touch of the ball by Cristiano, although Ronaldo did not contribute in this match in terms of goals and assists, which made the season was different was that he still scored the goal. correct plays to ensure Reunified won, whereas in the past it would be somewhat ineffective if he didn't score.

The media quickly switched their attention to the exciting title race between United and Chelsea, as United started the season strongly, as Gary Neville had said. The start of that season was the most fun six months I've ever seen at United. Several players were performing at a high level. Datir Saha Giggs Rooney Scoase and Ronaldo after the end of the first half of the season. United was the leader of the league with 15 victories after 19 games, but Chelsea did not give up easily in that season. Cristian managed to bring together all his attributes to offer meaningful and winning football, less art and more effectiveness, the great small ball technique.

Cristiano Ronaldo nothing new Ronaldo touch Ronaldo and Cristiano's talent exploded in both November and December 2006, when he managed to win consecutive player of the month awards, a feat that no player had achieved since Burr Camp in 97 and Fowler in the 95-96 season, and managed to score a double in three games. in a row against Villa Wigan and reading the third game in a row Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals. A great example of his match-deciding ability came in an away game against Fulham in February 2007. United were in danger of dropping points at Craven Cottage, but in the 88th minute Cristiano took a step forward and decided the game with a great solo effort when you look at a player who scores these types of goals and in the 88th minute and under pressure from chelsea then there is no doubt that you are seeing to a young player who became a real star after the match United maintained their six point lead on Chelsea as Cristiano continued his outstanding performances in the following months while Méndez and the club agreed to extend Cristiano's contract until 2012 with a weekly salary that amounted to £119,000.

In the Champions League Cristiano and United were at a great level as they scored seven goals against Roma and in the second leg of the quarterfinals Cristiano managed to score a double and assist another, surely they were his first two goals in the goal in the champions league. United then faced Milan in the semi-finals and, although Ronaldo managed to score a goal in the team's three-to-two victory in the first leg, he struggled to put a stamp on the match and when he played at San 0 Cristiano had issues. again when he started on the left and was under the brand of gennaro gattuso, as he failed to influence the match, as United lost by three goals to nil and was out of the competition in the first division and after Chelsea tied with Arsenal, Manchester United managed to seal their first first division title in four years, the clash with Mourinho and Chelsea was repeated in the FA Cup final Ronaldo started the match on the left side, but the match was timid and without incident and saw few opportunities, the match was decided by Christian Drogba's winner in extra time by far his best season ever in his first three seasons with United.

He played a total of 137 games and scored 27 goals in the season, he only managed to score 23 goals in 54 games and with 24 assists. Named player of the year and young player of the year by the English Professional Footballers' Association, it is a feat that has not been achieved since 1977, when Andy Gray won both awards. Cristiano managed to conquer everyone, the media, the fans and even the rival players who voted for him. There was no doubt that Cristiano was now one of the best in Europe, the new season was expected to be special for Ronaldo without any international commitment in the summer and with the big reinforcements for United and the transfer window, but the season did not It started in the best possible way as United began their title defense with two draws and one defeat while Cristiano was sent off in the second league game against Portsmouth Cristiano Ronaldo sent off Ferguson's assistant Dutchman Ronnie Mullenstein took advantage of Cristiano's triple Match suspension to present some new ideas for the Portuguese star and analyze Cristiano's previous matches directly with him.

Renny first asked Ronaldo to set a target for the number of goals he thinks he could score in the new season. Cristiano said he can score between approximately 30 to 35 goals, while Ronnie said he could score up to 40 goals, Ronnie then proceeded to show Cristiano the strikers' tactics and showed him images of Dennis Law, George Best, Rude Van Nisteroy and Solshire, George Best was similar to Christian in terms of outstanding scoring. goals, but the rest were more clinical forwards who scored with a single touch inside the area, headers and, of course, volleys. Christian was then assigned individual sessions to work on his visualization of goal movements within the box, choosing the best places to score runs and other technical aspects when Christian returned from his three-match suspension he managed to surpass his goal tally from last season in January of the current season Cristiano began to score all kinds of goals and began to acquire a nose for gold in that season we saw several headers when he scored his first header of the season against Wigan it was a surprise for Cristiano Ronaldo in The same month he scored another header but this time with a better finish but Cristiano still surprised himself the following month Cristiano jumped in to score a fantastic header against Blackburn and this time it was no surprise headers were now a big part of Arsenal's arsenal.

Cristiano's attributes A match against Fulham in December showed his wide range of goals, the first came through a beautiful and instinctive volley and the second goal came through a header. The striker would be proud not to be able to stop in another match against him. Everton. We saw him cut from right to left and shoot with his weak foot from distance. Is there anything this man can't do? Ronaldo's enormous development in 2007 earned him second place in the Ballon d'Or ranking behind Kaka and just ahead of Messi. He was now very close to the top but still needed to win more titles, a title like La Liga. of champions and after Cristiano saw the draw against Lyon in the round of 16 United faced Roma again the first leg was quite tough for United and in the first half Scholes raised the ball high while Ronaldo rose from very far away to score a beautiful and important header.

Ronaldo while United overcame this tough test and reached another semi-final and the Champions League, United then faced Barcelona and it was the first official match between Cristiano and Messi Carlos Kerros suggested the change of tactics before the match for Cristiano since the Portuguese He started the tie as a striker as Kurosh thought he would face Ronaldo problems covering Barcelona's right side as they used park ji song to cover that right side and to specifically mark Messi. Ronaldo did not like that change as he fought for a no position with the ball on the field and he missed an early and crucial penalty the tie was difficult for both sides and was finally decided with a long range effort from the schools and they came back like this as manchester united reached their first league final of champions since 1999 in the league, Christian continued to score goals as the race for the league title heated up and went down to the final day.

United traveled to face Wigan and Ronaldo had the chance to erase memories of Barcelona when the Portuguese stepped up to take a crucial penalty in the title race. As cool as you want United. won by two goals, while Chelsea tied with Bolton and Cristiano lifted his new title. Maintaining success is so hard but so sweet. A rematch of the title race ensued in the Champions League final. Ronaldo played on the left side and was given freedom to go to Rome and take. He took advantage of his speed to confront the blues defense that used Michael Essien as right back.

The game was expected to be difficult in general since there was strong marking on Cristiano and sometimes he was marked by three players who were Essen Balak and Jokol. In Cristiano's past he would have had problems, but with his development in recent seasons he managed to overcome the marking with his positive runs without the ball inside the area and with those movements he managed to score a great header for Ronaldo after Lampard scored the equalizer.
