Bobby he is the best Portuguese footballer ever I agree, but really? Better than Maradona? Pele, no.
It is very early in his carear and the best is yet to come from Ronaldo. its unfortunate he lives in the "age of Messi" but many atheletes go through this (Federer-Nadal-Djocovic). Its up to Ronaldo how he handles this.
Yes there is an underlying angry slant in the media towards Ronaldo, as opposed to the darling Messi (who can do no wrong). Would winning the Euro make Ronaldo be taken in a more serious light? YES. Will winning the Euro change the perception of Ronaldo (as Jon put it best) NO i dont think so.
Roanldo is a remarkable talent and he needs to present himself on the international stage as a force. I hope he can this time around, because as the article illustrates very well, the talent pool is drying up and he has a 2-4 year window before Nani and Coentrao start showing the slow down signs....
Ronaldo beats Messi in the yearly stats but doesnt win the league title he gets not Balon D'or. This year he wins the league but doesnt beat Messi in stats and he still wont get the Balon D'or. Ronaldo cant win with all this against him.
