When Cristiano Ronaldo looks in the mirror then he refuses to see himself as the second best footballer in the world and the roots of his approach are in his infancy when he realised that he could earn a living in the game. sbo222 He made a promise to himself that he would not be one more, and it is his personal project that is at stake each time he goes out onto the pitch. He is not ready at all for someone even if it is Lionel Messi to stop his childhood dream. sbo222 In the same way Nadal has never accepted the natural talent of Federer is ahead of his.Real Madrid fans should be forever thankful for this obsession that Cristiano has, which has seen him survive the Messi era and also bring in more Champions Leagues than Barcelona. Cristiano's goals have crowned the third golden era of Real Madrid in Europe.The Portuguese's approach has led to titles for the club and for him personally in Ballons d'Or.There is no doubt there is a certain narcacism about Ronaldo with comments like: "they kick me because I am good looking, rich and a great footballer."It has led as a result to some conflicts at the Bernabeu and he has said: "I only ask for them not to whistle me" on some occasions, but he does seem to have largely overcome them and at this stage of the season, aged 33, Cristiano is flying and Madridismo dreams. sbo222
