Both “weak foot” oh my lord 😮‍💨

[–] tarekelsakka@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nah he's still unreal.. an outrageous volley on his weak foot and he still makes it look easy.

[–] Ay44ncr7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hope he stays in form just in time for the Euros, still a looong time to go

Robin van Persie vibe.

Crazy.. He is 38 and still scoring a lot of goals

I feel both Ronaldo and Messi could still be playing for Real and Barça at the highest level.

I really hope he n Al nassr win this Champions league and Messi n Inter Miami win the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup so we possibly have both in the 2025 FIFA Club WC

Something interesting that I'm only noticing now.

Even dating back a couple years when Ronaldo was still at Real M, I remember thinking that some of his finishings of chances like this one were 'unimpressive'. What I mean by unimpressive is that shots looked a bit dull and while going in, they weren't really 'beautiful'.

What I realise now is that it is by design. Ronaldo understands that the most important part of converting this opportunity into a goal scoring threat is to:

  1. Get the shot on target
  2. Give it enough power without compromising accuracy

And to do these two things, you gotta sacrifice a bit of the element of turning it into a beautiful volley that lands under the bar. What you get in return is scoring nearly everyone of these chances.

This is probably quite obvious for a lot of fans, but I'm just figuring it out now and am happy to do it cuz it will change my approach to shooting in real football too. Thanks Ronnie, you shameless bastard.
