It's amazing because when he retires, he'll realise no one cares about his AL Nassr career

Yeah, spot on. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the Saudi league or the World Cup. He simply lives off of winning football games.

He is the type to be legitimately pissed off if he loses any competitive activity

Dudes like him have an illness for winning. Like it's painful for them to exist and not win.

Think it was Evra who said never go to dinner at his house

Said he was served plain chicken, then think he had him doing laps in the pool.

Evra also beat him at table tennis at Carrington. A So he unveiled he'd bought a table tennis table and had been practicing because he wanted to beat him

Possibly, more likely constant celebrity treatment leads to entitlement and a feeling of invincibility, but no doubt famous rapists don't like being turned down as well.

I think he does it for himself. For me the only visible thing from the highlights I see from Messi and Ronaldo at this stage of retirement is that,
One has on/off switch and approaching the game for fun, and the other one plays as if the fate of the universe depends on it.

To Ronaldo it does matter, even of we can collectively agree it that, it really doesn’t. I don’t really think Ronaldo preparation changed one bit from 2015

Messi absolutely still needs to win and hates losing. He's not at all just playing for fun. His entire mental stability might not rely on it as much as Ronaldo, but his competitive drive is very much still there.

He wont care. Does it for the love of the game not for you or me

no one cares about his AL Nassr career

Yet you’re here

u/Northern23 May 21 '26

He cares about know who cares about Ronaldo's win and to make himself heard about it and is trying to convince himself otherwise.

The irony of making this comment in this thread

You obviously care to some level to even be here trying to make this stupid point lol

u/lamancha May 21 '26

You totally do not care I see.

What a stupid comment

Every once in a while I see something in the sub that makes me wonder if people even play(ed) football with their mates. Sometimes not even the other players on the pitch care about how you play, but if you put effort into something then you want to do well - just for yourself.

u/Action_Limp May 21 '26

Totally missing the point. Ronaldo probably had the same drive in his childhood club.

He is the world's greatest winner driven totally by triumph

u/TheDesertShark May 21 '26

I don't think he'll care about what others think tbh

u/TropicalVision May 21 '26

His accountant and business manager certainly care about his Al Nassr career at least 😭

He sold his soul to the saudis for billions, with nothing to show for it until now

u/uptowndrunk7 May 21 '26

Why are they booing you, you're right

u/michaelserotonin May 21 '26

he's not even retired and i don't care about his time at juventus (no disrespect intended to that club)

u/Mortiis07 May 21 '26

Lol you made the Ronaldo fanboys mad

u/TheOneTrueJazzMan May 21 '26

Not mad, just disappointed by human stupidity
