Sounds like the two of them are pretty bitter. Ronaldo is all hype and nothing except his 38 goals? Sorry, Matt, but i disagree with you on this one. Those guys sounded like all they were doing is looking for reasons to bash Ronaldo and since he did more diving today than all season, they finally got their reasons to release their feelings.
The whole team was absolute **** today. And yet these guys blame everything on Ronaldo, cause he dived like 5 times and got fouled like 10 times? Sounds to me like they were out to get Ronaldo and didn't care about anything else. Had the team actually performed, maybe then Ronaldo wouldn't be waving at his own players pissed off because at such a big stage in such an important game they make Sunday League passes look amazing. I'd be pissed off too, hell, if Roy Keane was playing there, i bet he would give a damn good slap in the face to some of his players, would those guys slag him off too. That's right, Ronaldo failed to perform on big stage, even though its an 11 man game and Ronaldo actually looked like the only one trying to attack, keep the ball rather than hoof it into some unknown space and try to take shots (plus that one Carrick shot, which was absolutely horrible from like 5 yards out). Do they think Messi would have been able to run around with the ball like he did today, had Barcelona been dominated by United rather than the other way around? I'm pretty sure that if it was United with 66% possession, then Ronaldo would have been all over there because off all the defending and support that the team would give him and Messi would be the one diving around trying to win fouls or keep the ball by dribbling due to complete lack of support.
I'm pretty tired of people just talking about Ronaldo like he is the whole team, when United win, its an amazing Ronaldo performance, when they lose, its a **** Ronaldo performance so blame him. How can he be the best player in the world when he played so badly in that game. Sure, Scholes was all nice and humble on the pitch, but that's because he is the quietest guy in the team, he never even got a yellow for arguing, like ever. I'd rather have somebody like Ronaldo that would fight for the ball and try to keep it, rather than somebody that would get the ball, look around and see nobody moving, so just kick it downfield in hope of something happening. In my opinion, Ronaldo was the best United player today and don't tell me about our amazing defence. It was far from good, all they did was boot that ball out every opportunity they got.
Let me repeat my words, if they think Ronaldo is a "disgracefull" player for waving at his teammates who were giving away the ball like its a Christmas present, then what would they call Roy Keane after he would have given them a mouthfull that Eminem would be proud off?
They need to get their heads out of their asses and start watching football, rather than Ronaldo. And last time i checked, the best player in the world was supposed to be someone that plays with the ball better than anybody, not someone that acts like they are from UNICEF, those go for Noble Peace Prize award.
