Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo almost left Spain after last season because of negative comments from the club's president, according to Bleacher Report. The latest Real Madrid news has many fans puzzled as to why Ronaldo would want to leave.
Ronaldo heard comments that club President Florentino Perez offered on the attacker's playing style and reportedly became so enraged that he talked about leaving the club.
"Cristiano, you don't beat players like before, you never go past anyone. You have to beat your man," stated Perez. While those comments could make Ronaldo mad, there is some truth to his statement.
In total honestly, there is no reason for Ronaldo to react the way he did. He is coming to a point in his career where there is not much excitement when he controls the ball.
Ronaldo is in a transitional period in his career. He is not playing lights-out soccer anymore, especially when it comes to taking on players and beating them off the dribble. If you need goals from a well-placed shot, then yes, Ronaldo is your man. If you need someone to dance through the defense, Lionel Messi is your man.
Guillem Balague confirmed such thoughts in a recent article he wrote at Sky Sports. Messi is a pure attacker while Ronaldo is a born goal scorer. There is nothing wrong with either player, that is just where they are in their careers.
