>15 (FIFTEEN) goals in UCL in his whole careerIs he the most overrated striker ever ?
he was like the number 9 equivalent of one of those wingers who has 1 trick (ie cut inside and shoot).great player but his legend is 95% cultural and 5% merit.
>>151081890He would have won the Champions League in 1998 if he and Sir Bobby Robson had remained where they were at Barca instead of letting the Dutchoid fraud come
>>151081890There are always flowers in funerals
>>151081890He played in a time where defenders could defend and only Champions could play in the Champions League instead of Bewegungsspiele Lederhosen and Farmers FC
>>151082048i motherfucking kneel to this superior trvth
>>151082085Exactly. The amount of ridiculous high lines now too, R9 would be a goal a game player today.
>>151081890I can't defend him.
>>151081890players weren't statpadding freaks back in the day
>>151082168then explain his stats with ajax and barca, or his stats with brazil. I think he got a short prime and he got a mike tyson aura.
>>151081890He would have 3 World Cups if he wasn't poisoned by the French in 1998. That would immediately give him GOAT status without even needing to consider his club career.
>>151082085>only Champions could play in the Champions Leagueno he didn't zoomer, ronaldo was 21 when that rule was changed and he played in the CL before that
>>15108189090% of his ucl career was played at 70%
>>151082277This fraud didn't even play a single minute in the 1994 WC Brazil win
Defenders are genuinely SHIT now
>>151081890>Marcus Rashford has the same amount of UCL goals as R9This fatty should be really lucky he had a stack national team.
>>151082224he had won everything before the 21st century considering he was in the 94 squadHe still made a comeback and won 02 in style, that's it not much to be donenowadays he'd still have a decade from that pointkeep in mind thats a dude with exploded knees in the early 00s, he got massive butcher scars, you dont come back from that easily
You have to understand his career was cut short, it's amazing he even managed to play for Real Madrid as well as win the WC after his knees exploded.If his trajectory stayed the same before his injuries he could've been Messi tier.
>>151081890No, that would be a bald Frenchman who failed to score in a single final in 10 attempts as starting striker.
Honestly all Brazilian football players are overrated trash. Not even going to elaborate further. If you know you know. Fuck you.
Van Basten is a bigger "what if" player but he is not rated because....white but not anglo
>>151082668well well wellHe scored the golden goal in the Conferation cup finals in 2003Other than that I kneel deeply, I didn't know that otherwise extremely fraudulent stat
>>151081890Actually he has 14 lmao
>>151082893yes no one has ever heard of van basten, you are such a football scholar and learned hipster
Why does the bald suit him so good? Is it cuz he's brown?
ITT: lil zoomies seethe
>>151083096he still has visible hair. if was genuinely bald and had a head smooth like a pool cue it wouldnt look as good
>>151082893>dark brown eyes>white
>>151083096Good head shape and the face is proper for it too, he can pull off a bald/semi bald head without needing a beard and looking like a Redditor which is an issue most balds have.
>>151082168thirdie cope
>>151083096looks like a dbz character
He kinda looks like obama
Despite the overtime efforts of many faggots, football is still a sport meant to be played and watched. Not an Excel spreadsheet.
>>151083292We don't say that guy is bad, just that he's way overrated
>>151083427trashford definitely has a better pr team
>>151083379How could he possibly be overrated? Healthy Ronaldo was the most complete forward in the history of the game which can be attested by watching any of his games in the 90s. Pace, skill, explosion, flair, dribbling, power, accuracy, he had it all. Even after his prime he remained world class while being severely handicapped and was the star of a World Cup alongside an aging Rivaldo.>b-but the UCL goalsRonaldo like many others played in a time when players were just expected to sign for a club and perform instead of just joining a UCL favourite and statpad for them hoping to win a Ballon d'Or and positive media coverage to raise their brand value. (Although you could argue he was part of what started this problem when he joined Real Madrid after the WC). Nowadays you would never see a player leaving Barcelona in his prime to lead Inter to a Europa League win. Comparing him to fraud #63 who spent 9 seasons in a top 5 club in Europe raping local farmers and challenging for the UCL is missing the point entirely.
Can't wait for Haaland to be declared the GOAT in a few decades by retards who only check the wikipedia stat section to form their opinions
>>151083684the guy who makes his teams win can't be the goat because he's effective?
>>151085689you don't understand, he's not from south america so he's bad
>>151085733people just don't want to aknowledge how fucking rare and impressive this fucking norwegian yeti looking bulldozer is.
>>151081890he spent his prime years playing for 90s inter.
>>151085689What's better, 10 tap ins or 10 Zidane style goals? They're both the same numbers, so the players that scored these goals should be on the same level, right?
>>151086084yes, they all count the same
>>151086084He must be winding you up mate
>>151085890he brought his own injury problems into an even bigger disorganized mess.leaving overnight to statpad in leliga for a fat paycheck was his prime KWAB moment, so much so that the owner of that rats' nest of a club spent the following years crying like a baby and plotting the demise of Serie A with wiretaps, dossiers and industrial espionage, culminating in Calciopoli.anyone who considers Ronaldo the GOAT is just looking through rose-tinted glasses.
>>151086110It's better to have a player who can do other things besides finishing like creating his own chances or assisting other players or contribute defensively. Haaland's lack some of those qualities which is the reason he has never been in the ballon d'or discussion. You have to be a complete player to be the GOAT not just good at a single thing.
>>151081890nah that's zlatan
>>151082410Don't take everything so literal you autist. When Ronaldo played almost every team in the Champions League was a potential quarter-finalist/Round of 16 team.
>>151081890Still Pele.
>>151082714i disagree might be biased idk
Unlike probably 95% of this thread I saw PRIME Ronaldo play live in the flesh. Yes he was that good and hands down the best I've seen.
>>151090211Which games mate?
>>151090406Umbro Cup in 95, went to all games except Japan - Sweden.
>>151086339>Yea italians corruption was a set up from spanish>Meanwhile argentina goes for first world country to third world shithole the moment corrup italians arrived.Thanks for the womens and food but it not worth italian mafia and egocentric corrup culture.
In 20 years time people will have the same discussion over club world cup goals for messi and c. ronaldo.
>>151087131>Haaland's lack some of those qualities which is the reason he has never been in the ballon d'or discussion. He was literally second in 2023. Also, ballon d'or is biased to mainland Europe.
>>151085689>he scored too many goals therefore he cannot be a GOAT contender
>>151083548factual irrefutable post I fear
