In-depth analysis C Ronaldo: The evolutionary history of cycling boy to goal-scoring machine!

When you mention Ronaldo, which great god is popping up in your mind? Is it the Brazilian legend who is known as an alien, whose peak is short but dazzling, or the one we are talking about today, the stadium dominant Cristiano? Many celebrities, such as Benzema and Henry, think that Brazilian Ronaldo is better. Let’s not talk about this first. After all, no one can convince anyone across the era. Someone said that the Premier League still has to look at Henry the Great, who played in the league for longer at his peak. It was said that Ronaldo had been in the Premier League for two years. It sounded like the champions and Golden Globes in those two years were given as a bonus.

Back to the data level, Ronaldo's career has more than 900 goals, and his peak period is more than 15 years. However, Ronaldo, Brazil, has been at its peak for about five years and has achieved relatively few achievements, but many people are still considered stronger. Could this logic be that ** "What you can't get is always in agitation, and what you already have is fearless"? If we apply the logic of "the peak is everything, and we don't look at the eternal world", then is Ronaldo also better than Henry? In 2008, Ronaldo scored 50 goals, Henry's best season 39 goals; Ronaldo won the Golden Globe Award, but Henry never got involved. Not to mention that Ronaldo won more championships at Manchester United than Henry at Arsenal, and he did it at the age of 23.

It is said that Ronaldo was at Manchester United when he was young, and his team should have won the league, and his goals and assists were not as good as Salah. This means that longevity, goals, and achievement are hard currency, only when you want to step on Ronaldo. So today, let’s take a look at how Ronaldo evolved from a cyclist to a goal-scoring machine in his years at Manchester United.

The story goes back to August 16, 2003, Manchester United played against Bolton, and Ronaldo came on as a substitute. Who would have thought that in a few minutes, the entire football world would appreciate his arrogance for the first time - he tortured Bolton's defender with dazzling steps and tricks, and immediately made a penalty kick; he rushed towards the defender from the left, and his kick seemed to pass and shoot, almost letting Fanny get a bargain. The first show exploded and the audience at Old Trafford was fascinated.

Picture description: In 2003, Ronaldo appeared on the bench and used dribbling to conquer Old Trafford in the next few games, he was mainly a substitute, and his task was to show off. Seeing that he played football at that time, his skills, explosive power and self-confidence all overflowed the screen, but he almost hit the ball. On September 21, Ronaldo ushered in his first tough battle - the start of Arsenal, who was at its peak, against Henry. The game was full of gunpowder. As soon as Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball, he was double-teamed by four people, but he hit the post. Henry was not willing to be outdone, and the midfield dribbled the ball and assisted Kerr almost scored with a one-stop assist. The final ended 0-0, but the two teams clashed after the game, which was the taste of the Premier League back then.

Ferguson's trust paid off against Portsmouth in the 11th round: Manchester United led 1-0 but the scene was passive, Ferguson replaced C Ronaldo; in the 79th minute, Giggs let a free kick to C Ronaldo, and it was achieved in one go! This is C Roman United's first goal in his career. He also got his first assist through out-of-bounds assists.

However, after the highlights, Ronaldo experienced ups and downs, contributing 6 goals and 8 assists throughout the season. What is heartbreaking is that Arsenal won the championship with an undefeated record that year, 15 more points than Manchester United, and Henry scored 30 goals - this data, Ronaldo probably wanted to dream of it at the time. Commentator Ferdinand said that at that time, Ronaldo was more focused on showing ball control skills, so in the 2004-05 season, you would see a Ronaldo who was extremely destructive in terms of speed, skill, and fancy.

At the age of 19, he led Portugal to the 2006 World Cup: the qualifiers against Latvia, Estonia, and Russia, and he scored a total of 7 goals and 6 assists. Back at the club, he may not score many goals, but 80% of the audience came to see him perform. On February 1, 2005, Manchester United challenged Arsenal away, England's hottest derby - Roy Keane and Vieira almost took action before the game. In the opening 8 minutes, Henry assisted Vieira to score; but Ronaldo broke out in the second half: a left-footed shot + a back-point crossover scored twice, shutting up Arsenal fans.

Unfortunately, Manchester United lost no results in the season, but the 19-year-old Ronaldo has handed over 16 goals and 14 assists. The 2005-06 season was one of Ronaldo's worst seasons: his father's death made him sad, Manchester United was eliminated in the Champions League group stage and ranked third in the league; fortunately, he scored a goal in the League Cup final, helping the team win the cup. His real goal is the 2006 World Cup - he hopes his father and the Portuguese people are proud of him.

World Cup, Ronaldo led Portugal to the semi-finals, but exposed his unstable shortcomings in the last goal. From this moment on, he made up his mind: to learn the art of scoring more. During the World Cup interval, he started hard training and strictly polished his efficiency every day. Starting from the 2006-07 season, his game style changed completely - no longer blindly dribbling the ball, but cooperated in series, ran into the penalty area, read the defense, and became more deadly in front of the goal.

vs. Reading, he scored in the iconic wing-in-cut low shot from the far corner; then scored twice in three consecutive games, scoring 17 Premier League goals + 8 assists throughout the season, winning the first England championship; he reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, ranking second in the Golden Globe Awards - in just a few months, he evolved from a "dribbling master" to "the second best player in the world".

2007-08 season, a great performance began - although Ronaldo was suspended for three games due to red cards at the beginning of the season and Manchester United started with a sluggish start, he quickly adjusted his strategy: no longer retreat too deeply, but stayed close to the last defender, seized the opponent's mistakes + grabbed the cross opportunity. Against Birmingham, he stood in the frontcourt to press and scored his first goal of the season; then he was unstoppable, scoring 8 goals in the next 7 games, and even scored 6 consecutive goals.

In the end, he won the Golden Boot with 31 Premier League goals, leading Manchester United to the Premier League championship; in the Champions League, he made many achievements against Sporting Lisbon, Roma and other teams, headed the Chelsea goal in the final, helping Manchester United to win the Champions League championship; he scored 42 goals throughout the season, won the Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer, and reached the first peak of his career.

Six years at Manchester United, Ronaldo went from a thin boy who loved to show his skills to a goal machine that averaged nearly 1 goal per game, completing the most shocking "road of evolution" in football history. People often try to downplay his achievements with other players, but ask: Who can win the Premier League + Champions League + Golden Balls like Ronaldo and score 42 goals in a single season at the age of 23? Henry is excellent, but Ronaldo has long written his own legend in terms of peak height and comprehensiveness.
