Cristiano Ronaldo

I am going to write about Cristiano Ronaldo dos santos Aveiro also know as C.Ronaldo. He is one of the most popular soccer players in the world at the moment. The reason for writing about him is that obviously I am interested in soccer and in my opinion he is one of the greatest players at the moment. Ronaldo is only 23 years old and he plays for Manchester United in the English Premier League, which is considered the best and toughest soccer league in the world. He plays his 6th season for Manchester already, as he was bought by head coach Sir Alex Ferguson when he was just 18 years old. His career even started earlier though as he played 1 season for the Portugese club “Sporting Club de Portugal” when he was 17. Furthermore he is an international for his country Portugal, just like his teammate Nani.
Cristiano’s position in the field is usually the outside right or left wing. I am a winger myself too and I watch a lot of his matches to analyze why he is such a dangerous player. This makes me better as a winger myself.
A few soccer characteristics of Ronaldo are that he is incredibly technical, really quick and has a good kick. The combination of those qualities makes him a dangerous player and a scoring machine too. In the 279 professional appearances he made for his clubs so far he made 100 goals. This gives him a total scoring ratio of 0.36 , which means that he generally scores a goal in 36% of his matches.
Last season was by far his best season so far as he scored 42 goals out of 49 matches. He was topscorer of the English Premier League with 31 goals out of 34 appearances, he was topscorer of the Champions League with 8 goals out of 11 matches. Moreover he played in the European Championship with Portugal and he won several prices like the Barclays Golden Boot, European Golden Shoe, UEFA club forward of the year UEFA club footballer of the year and FIFPro World player of the year.

I love watching Ronaldo play because he does a lot of tricks, he is quick, really threatening and he scores a lot of goals. He is a good player and has charisma as well as he is really popular at the ladies because of his good looks. I am sure this season will be a good season for him again and although he won almost everything imaginable last year, I hope he can set the bar even higher this year.
