RONALDO'S PROFILE

RONALDO'S PROFILE  Eyes always on the ball. The ball always at his feet. His feet dancing a unique dance, a rare and very personal choreography. The right leg first, then the left, waltzing around the ball, controlling it before leaving an opponent flailing in his wake with another dribble. Always moving forward, with his arms slightly apart, as if he was a gracious bird. Enthralling. Gripping. Riveting. The back-heel comes into play on countless occasions. His passes seem to be part of a magician’s trick.
Eyes on the ball. Also on the opponent, often more than one. The dance always has the same climatic end. There he goes, on that short-stepped run, but so fast that he leaves his markers for dead. Then, when the antagonists appear, the ballet repeats itself, always varied and always unpredictable. And his markers are left trailing, one, two, three… On the wings or through the middle, at supersonic speed and with astonishing acceleration that takes your breath away. Enthralling. Gripping. Riveting. Magic. His crosses have pinpoint accuracy. His assists of a prodigious subtlety. His shots unexpected and often ending up in the net, as you would expect when the ball reaches Huh km per hour – the hardest shot in Manchester United’s squad.
He arrived in England at just 18 years of age and it was not by chance that he was immediately entrusted with the mythical number 7 shirt, donned by historical figures such as George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and more recently, David Beckham. Nothing that inhibits or confuses this young Madeira lad, who is already Portugal’s top player and whose two biggest assets are his self-confidence and courage.
It is therefore no surprise that today he is one of the most sought-after symbols of world football and one of the most requested all over the World for advertising campaigns. His football is enthralling, gripping, riveting, magic.
He is unique.
If he isn’t the best in the world already, he will be soon.
