Why am I Cristiano Ronaldo's Fan

Many things have been written and thousands of statistics have been published to compare the best soccer players of all times.

Many take into consideration such specific details as: muscle distribution, performance, the average temperature of the country where each competition is played, the characteristics of the ball, the court, the grass, the referees' tendencies, the sponsors and even up to the way they wear their uniforms. In short, many times take into account so many things losing sight of the protagonists.

In relation to the protagonists, the so-called "experts", and I am not one of them; They clearly base their comparisons between players; contemporary or not, but there will always be a comparison to make. They compare Beckham with Rooney, Maradona and Messi, Ronaldinho and Neymar, Figo and Ronaldo, etc. Obviously, when both players are from the same country, the debate is light, enjoyable, you could even say decent to not offend them. However, more controversial people tend to draw comparisons between players who have been rivals on the field; for a trophy, a World Cup, or simply for being the main figure of one country and another and that's where the conversation becomes intense

This post is not one of those, I'm sorry for some.

Today, I just want to share with you, the reasons why I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo over other players.

1.- It is more Effort than Talent:
he is a talented player, of that there is no doubt; to be an elite player you must have a lot of talent. However, your greatest talent does not necessarily have to be always on the field; Your greatest talent can be: "be a tireless worker", or be the most persistent, or be the most competitive. Maybe he's not the most talented in the world, but talent without work, in the long run does not do much good; Well what does not cost of waste, as in the case of many "great players".
If you are not talented, make the effort; and when you have the talent, make the effort even more

2.- Making the Impossible Possible:
In 2016 when Cristiano said he wanted to win the Euro Cup with Portugal, many laughed a lot; even me. The vast majority expected a "decent" performance from the Portugal team; and after the unconvincing results, in each eliminatory round they waited for the exit of the lusos. Maybe it was luck, but they thought about it and made it possible; on the court and out of it, supporting, observing and correcting. Portugal won the Euro 2016. It is true, Cristiano left the game with an injured knee and could not stay on the court, but continued his fight on the edge of it.

3.- Honor the family:
when you are a super star, you are generally in the clouds; literally. Touched closely by serious family conflicts, with the alcoholism of his father and the addiction of his brother; Cris knows about the fragility of the human body and the fragility of the family in situations of this type. Many choose to hide it, deny it or try to get rid of that bad bug that stung the other; in this case, he carried out actions, offered help, provided comfort and support; and most importantly, he decided not to allow alcohol and drugs to do him more harm by absolutely avoiding them inside his body and life.
Since then he has endeavored to found his new family and protect the existing one.

4.- Enjoy being the best:
On one occasion, when I was with a group of chorister friends in a choir contest, they referred to another group saying: "And these people think they are the best of all just because they sing well". To which I replied, "if I were in a group that sounded like them, I also thought I was the best." In my opinion, there is no problem in believing that the best is when YOU ARE THE BEST, it is bad to believe it when you are one of the heap.
Despite many controversial statements by Christian, who leave him as arrogant and not humble. You have to analyze the environment, and accept it. Enjoy Being the best and has worked hard to get it.

5.- Altruistic spirit:
foundations, donations, galas and fundraising parties; all he has done, and many more that surely have never been disclosed. With the sole motivation to help others and return so many things received. Despite this, his detractors will always brand him as a cover boy.

6.- He is an attractive man:
Yes, you read well, I'm a fan of Cristiano because he's an attractive man. And I'm sure they'll send me photos of when I had crooked teeth and eyebrows stuck ... But I'm sure that you even have a photograph of yourselves with crooked teeth, glasses, eyebrows stuck or anything else we wish we had never used. We all want to look good, and he has achieved it perfectly. Gym hours are noticed in every inch of your body shape. And it is the desire of many and the envy of others.

7.- Try to take every opportunity as if it were the last one:
Football is a collective sport, and at 33 he knows it well. For some time, maybe since 2016; we have seen a different and changing Christian; sometimes he is the attendant, sometimes he hurries his companions, sometimes he is seen calling for calm and in others with his cry of Vamos! Come on! to encourage and push. Many times we see him lamenting for not reaching a ball, or because the shot went wide, or because he lost a chance to score ... as if it were the end of the world. For him it seems that yes. Every opportunity taken advantage of is celebrated and each failure is regretted as if there were not again. Maybe that's the secret to being considered the best soccer player today.

Definitely, I like football, I'm a fan of Real Madrid and I admire Cristiano Ronaldo
