Wishlist Cristiano Ronaldo

[Muzchap 8,966]

Or another way to look at it could be -

Money = He has a lot, just like you said. Having so much and being able to buy anything though, could take away motivation and actually cause boredom, as has been reported in many cases. Money can only bring happiness for so long. Once you reach a certain amount, money will no longer improve your life in any way as you can already pay for all that you desire.

Women = So many like and harass him that it causes friction & trust problems between he and his girlfriend/wife (are they married?) potentially causing bad patches in the relationship between he and the woman he loves.

He plays for the biggest club in the world and is the most expensive player, putting a huge pressure on him to always be at his best; whether it be playing well on the pitch, or looking good for the media, his fashion line or the general public. This causes little time for relaxing during large parts of the year.

He's adored by people who don't even know him, and can't walk to the shop to get some milk without being prodded, shouted at and fan-girled over in an attempt for some fans to get an autograph or picture.

The time spent on getting that 'perfect physique', training, being on planes and playing football, means he barely gets to see his family and is constantly feeling drained.

The realisation of all of this could trigger a depression in him.

None of us can read his mind, but all of the above coupled with the fact that Messi & Iniesta keep getting awards he feels he deserves, could really damage him mentally and morale-wise.

Of course this is all based on 'if's', 'but's' and 'potential's', but there's 2 sides to everything.

Complicated life.

Life is only as complicated as you make it!

HE made his life complicated! Take Messi, he doesn't ponce around with fashion, image etc...

CR wanted to be the new Beckham - now he's got it and surpassed it - careful what ou wish for....

No sympathy for him, not even a shred.

Can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen, fucking pussy...

Give the man(?) a tampon and tell him to have a cup of concrete and harden the fuck up.

This could be a reason too

[capriccioso 2,545]

regardless of finance or personality, surely no one is doubting his ability ,,,,or his work ethic ,,,,he is up there with the world's best ever

I do doubt his work ethic on the pitch a little bit. He doesn't strike me as the type to chase down a player.

Off the pitch, his work ethic is perfect. Never drinks, rarely gets involved in scandals (apart from that crashed car I can't remember anything else), works hard in training.. he would set a great example for some youngsters.

who said it is all about money?

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Just my opinion : I dont give a fuck about Ronaldo and his problems , i dont care if he is happy or not , if he is in good relation with his dog or not , he dont deserve a thread here and he will never be a CFC player so , i dont see why we are losing time talking about him, but as i said , its my opinion

I would imagine its all about money. Everything these days is based on money.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Apparently ESPN were saying it is about the Money. However it's not about 'more' money but rather he wants to keep his wage as it is. Next year there will be a big change to the Spanish tax rates (or something along those lines). His salary would be cut from €11 million to around €8 million (which is actually less than Messi). So he wants the club to increase the overall wage packet so that when the tax laws kick in his wage will remain the same and doesn't change. Well that's what Gab Marcotti hypothesises anyway.

20 years?

8 million as a total sum of income earned in a lifetime is beyond what 99% of humans will ever earn. He's earning more in a year than pretty much everybody can in their entire lives.

Sports stars are massively overpaid.

You are correct, Spain has a 24% tax for whoever earns more than €600k/year. From 2013, it il be atrocius 45%.

Ronaldo is paid a pittance for what his real worth is. If you actually look at his shirt sales figures world wide and the profit Real get after Addidas and everyone else is paid then it really isn't that much. He signed for Madrid in the 2009 summer window and by april 2010 he already sold 1.5 million shirts in Madrid alone lol, then many millions more worldwide, the club gets 40% of that. He's probably sold in excess of 5 million pieces of Ronaldo memorabilia since arriving at Real.

None of you know what is happening in his head, you assume, but you don't know. Prejudice to the max.

Respect to Ronaldo. Deserves tons of it.

I’m pretty sure that this story will come as a shocking one for each and everyone reading this. But trust me, even I had no clue that the one we call “selfish player” would do such a thing..

It all started in an interview in which Ronaldo said: “I have to thank my old friend Albert Fantrau for my success. We played together for the same team in the U-18 championship. When Sporting Lisbon’s manager came to see us he said that:

“Who ever score’s more goals will join our academy!”

Ronaldo continues: “We won that match 3-0. I scored the first goal, then Albert scored the second with a great header. But the third goal was impressive for all of us. Albert was 1 on 1 against the goalkeeper, he skillfully went past the goalkeeper and I was running in front of him. All he had to do was to score, but he passed the ball to me and I scored the third goal , and I went to the Sporting Lisbon academy. After the match I met him and I asked him, ”Why?” and he said, “You are better than me”.

After hearing this many journalists went to Albert’s house and asked him if it was a true story. He said yes. He also said that his career as a player ended soon after the match and he is now unemployed.

Just then a journalist noticed that Albert was living a luxurious life. The journalist immediately popped the question, “But how did you afford this spectacular house and this great car? You seem like a rich man. From where did this come from?”

Then what happened, was what shocked all the people gathered there!

Albert proudly replied: “It is all because of Ronaldo.”
