Compared with the three football kings, Ronaldo is ** worse?
This question is like comparing the works of master artists, each with their own unique style and charm. Ronaldo's football skills are undoubtedly eye-popping, but it seems to be a little short of those three legends.
Perhaps in the "professional performance" on the field, Ronaldo sometimes seems to focus too much on individual skills and ignore the importance of teamwork. The court is not only a stage for individual heroism, but also a symphony of team cooperation. Perhaps, he needs to integrate more into the team and integrate his personal shine into the glory of the whole team.
Humor may be the missing link. Compared to those three champions, Ronaldo's sense of humor off the pitch does not seem to stand out enough. Football isn't just about running on the turf, it's also about entertaining and socializing off the field. Perhaps, Ronaldo needs to show more humor off the pitch and become the "king of laughter" in the eyes of fans.
The element of surprise is another possible gap. The amazing skills and extraordinary performances that those three champions often displayed in the game are often fascinating. Perhaps, Ronaldo needs more jaw-dropping performances at key moments to impress fans after every game.
A sense of suspense is an indispensable quality for a great player. Those three champions always seemed to be able to show their magic in the final moments of the game, creating unpredictable victories. Perhaps, Ronaldo needs more suspense to show at critical moments to bring more surprises and expectations to fans.
Overall, Ronaldo is a great player, but perhaps a better balance of professionalism, humor, surprise and suspense is needed compared to the three champions.
Some people say: "There is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts", but sometimes "martial arts" are not so easy to distinguish, because the two contrasters may never compete in the same field. In the more than 100-year history of modern football, countless superstars have emerged, and every fan has their favorite idol in their hearts. However, among these many idols, Ronaldo is undoubtedly the most special one.
Since Ronaldo is regarded as the first brother in the football world in the minds of many fans, why did he fail to win the "King of the Ball" crown? Perhaps, comparing with the other three champions, it may reveal some clues.
Pele is known as the first generation of football kings, and his brilliance is mainly reflected in three World Cup titles and a series of league achievements, especially the World Cup title. Pele has performed well in three World Cups, although he is not as good as Maradona alone, but he also has rare courage and strength.
In contrast, Ronaldo burst onto the scene at the 2002 World Cup, where he was the focus of attention despite Brazil's strength at the time. However, this also overshadowed his contribution on the pitch to a certain extent, because the Brazilian team at that time was strong and star-studded, with Ronaldo, Kaka, Carlos, Kraft, Emerson and others all deserving superstars, and Ronaldo's performance was just the icing on the cake.
One might argue that Ronaldo's two World Cup victories are an achievement in themselves that cannot be overlooked. The problem, however, is that he has nothing to do with the 1994 World Cup winners, but only by name, which supports the previous belief that Brazil were the favourites until 2006.
Therefore, Ronaldo's failure to become the king of the ball may not be due to his lack of strength, but more because of the era and environment in which he lives, as well as the gap compared to other stars.
Of course, Brazil in the Pele era were favourites to win the tournament, having won three World Cups on his own. With more than 1,200 career goals, even taking into account possible statistical errors, there should be at least seven or eight hundred, completely crushing Da Luo's more than 400 goals.
Judging by the national team and club performances, Da Luo is indeed far from Pele. Maradona only won the World Cup once, and his league performance was not satisfactory, and the number of goals was not as good as that of Ronaldo. So, why is he called the king of the ball?
That's the dominance you have to be when it comes to the king of the ball. Despite his prowess and often impressive performances, he never really dominated any era, and at best he had a great season at best. Maradona's 1986 World Cup alone was legendary, and he led his team to victory with his individual ability. Argentina with Maradona is the favourite, and Argentina without him is only at the level of the quarterfinals, and that's the difference. Brazil with Ronaldo has 99 points, and Brazil without him can only get 90 points, and they are also the favorites to win the championship.
Maradona had a unique dominance that Da Luo did not have. The latter is more of a strengthened version of Thierry Henry or another top striker than a leader of the team, let alone a king on the field. No matter where he is, Maradona is the only one and his influence is the greatest. Maradona's contribution to the team far exceeded that of Ronaldo, and he also helped Napoli win two Serie A titles.
Serie A in the 90s was known as the mini-World Cup, gathering a squad of the world's top players. AC Milan were not the fake giants they are today, while Juventus and Inter Milan were also regular in title contention. Maradona has brought Napoli in the middle of the table to the title of Serie A with his individual ability, a dominance that is hard to match.
The third-generation football king Messi also dominated an era. With him at its core, the Barcelona Dream III team set an unprecedented record of six crowns and opened the most glorious moment in football history. At his peak, Barcelona Dream III was almost invincible, and even Ferguson felt helpless and overshadowed the arrogant Ronaldo. Messi has broken almost every record in the history of football, and the duration of his dominance and peak is so amazing that a game without scoring is seen as his goal drought.
In the World Cup, Messi is also as unstoppable as Maradona II. Despite the all-round defense against him, the opponent could not stop Messi's goals and assists. At the Qatar World Cup, Messi's performance once again proved his status as the king of the ball, and his every action showed the demeanor of the king of the ball.
Compared with the three football kings, Da Luo may not be inferior in ability, but what he lacks is dominance. He was a brilliant general, not a military advisor who commanded the whole situation. With relatively few achievements in the league, despite his impressive performances at the 2002 World Cup, that was more than that.
