I mean bro is manhandling opponents and calling them “bobo” and stuff 😂. Like as a Barca fan who’s watched him my whole life, I’m not going to say he was timid his whole career, but this dude is a whole new person from the guy who lost the WC in '14.
What happened?
Ronaldo is way less professional tho. Crying under instagram comments, attacking messi, smashing phones of fans etc. Ronaldo definitely isn’t a good example to pick
None of that has anything to do with his commitment and dedication to being the best. Messi has always been painted as a good little boy, but they’re both human. Ronaldo’s work ethic matched Messi’s natural ability. That’s a great example of a professional. He wasn’t with Ronnie shooting in the gym.
Professionalism is also about the way you handle media. Cr7 has an amazing work ethic and is one of the most dedicated people ever, but he’s less professional than leo with handling media.
Can’t blame him since they fixed tournaments and trophies for him. Remember Messi after 2019? Said Copa America was fixed after he had one goal a penalty vs Qatar then magically everything got fixed for him (another Copa America being held and a winter cup of penalties). Not to mention in 2018 when they robbed Ballon D’or from CR7. They couldn’t stand the one and only rightful GOAT pass the fussy midget in that award.
