Manchester United’s Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo has become the top scorer in the history of world football, the club’s press service reports.

Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the match against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday and brought his team a victory with a score of 3:2. The Portuguese scored in the 12th, 38th and 82nd minutes. Although Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot for the visitors (35), another ball was cut into his own goal by the captain of the MU, Harry Maguire (72).

The 37-year-old Ronaldo scored 807 goals at club level, and for the national team, he beat the Austrian striker Josef Bitsan by two goals (805), who was the previous record-holder according to Rec. Sports calculations.Soccer Statistics Foundation (RSSSF).

The International Football Federation (FIFA) adheres to the RSSSF calculations.

Ronaldo began his career in 2002 at Sporting Lisbon. After that, he played for MU, Real Madrid and Juventus before returning to the Mancunian team in 2021. For the Portuguese national team, the forward played 184 matches, in which he scored 115 goals.

This season, the striker took part in 24 matches of the English Premier League, scored 12 goals and gave three assists. Ronaldo’s contract with the English club expires in 2023.

Cristiano Ronaldo became the best scorer in the history of football

 

The new season has just begun, and the media is already washing the bones of coaches who disappoint with their results. But, unfortunately, these are the realities of sports: they do not suffer defeats here, and first of all, coaches become scapegoats. So let’s see who may be out of work soon.

Ole Gunnar Sulscher (Manchester United)

It will soon be three years since Sulscher started coaching Manchester United. No one expected him to last this long. Achievement!

But even though his club is one of the richest, Ole has not won anything yet. No small trophies, nor, of course, the NPL or the LCH.

And even despite the high-profile summer, when Ronaldo, Sancho and Varane joined the team, the game of “MU” is not happy yet. Having lost to Aston Villa with a score of 0:1, the Red Devils suffered their third defeat in four matches. They have already been eliminated from the League Cup and lost to the Young Boys in the LCH.

So far, there is no need to panic: United are at the top of the table and are struggling. But the Norwegian does not feel calm.

Ronald Koeman (Barcelona)

Barcelona started the season very badly, and the series of inconclusive results continues. Under whom the chair has been wobbling for a long time, the Dutch coach instils in Blaugrane a not very beautiful game, which neither the fans nor the management is happy about.

At the moment, Koeman is most likely awaiting dismissal, but he still has time to save himself – at least until there is a pause for the national team matches.

Now Barcelona is in the sixth position in the championship and has lost twice in the Champions League. Everything will be decided soon.

Max Allegri (Juventus)

Allegri returned to Juventus in the summer, and many believed that he would resurrect a regressed team.

Alas, no miracle has happened yet: JUVE started badly, scoring two points in four matches in Serie A. This is the worst start in 60 years, although Bianconeri has begun to improve.

People don’t like Allegri’s style of play either. It’s too conservative. Of course, no one will dismiss such a specialist so quickly, but he is restless right now.

Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)

Arteta has been teetering on edge for a long time. Last season he was not happy, but it all started quite sadly this year – with a defeat against Brentford, who last played in the top league 74 years ago.

The situation has calmed down a bit in recent matches: Norwich and Burnley were outplayed, and Tottenham was recently defeated – perhaps it was the best match of the Arteta Gunners.

Nuno Espirito Santo (Tottenham)

Another North London club, Tottenham, is also going through hard times.

Despite winning the first matches of the Premier League, Nuno does not please fans with the game. Tottenham is not impressive and is playing instead bleakly. Of course, you can’t win everything, but the humiliating defeat from Arsenal, and even the current one, cannot but affect the chances of the Portuguese staying at his post.

The derby may have already determined Santa’s fate. And maybe he will still be saved – everything is possible. Five coaches who may soon be fired

Five coaches who may soon be fired

 

Ask Ronaldo, and he will tell you that he only wants to play in the Champions League.

To qualify for the most prestigious club competition on the planet, Juventus had to snatch a victory from Bologna on the last day of the season while hoping that their opponents would not let them down. Ronaldo is always good in such high-profile games, but for some reason, coach Andrea Pirlo dismissed him.

Allegedly, the Portuguese are “tired”, having taken part in five matches in 19 days. Maybe so, but even at the age of 36, Ronaldo is the standard of physical form, always perfect. Even when he’s exhausted, he’s a threat.

As we now know, Torino managed without him. But even then, there was nothing to celebrate — this is the end of the campaign except as a failure for the grandee can not be called. A change was needed, and a change came in the face of the returning Massimiliano Allegri, who had been well-rested for two years. He’s a master at working with the stars, but we still don’t know if he’ll ever want to hang out with Ronaldo. There are many indications that the Portuguese superstar’s time in Italy has come to an end. “Having achieved what I have achieved, I can say that I have achieved my goal, which I set before moving to Italy.”

Andrea Agnelli says he has never regretted his decision to break the Serie A transfer record by signing Ronaldo for 105 million euros. You can understand it.

The mere fact of signing Ronaldo praised Juve’s status. It immediately became clear that the “old signora” really returned to the peak of its importance because even one of the two leading stars of the planet agreed to the transition.

Ronaldo believed that if not Real Madrid, then Juventus. Torino fought in the LCH every year, but they needed a leader. He was the missing link that would have made it possible to achieve real success in the fields of Europe. Not surprisingly, as soon as he appeared in Turin, the fans began to chant, “give us the Champions League”.

And whatever he did in Italy, it all came down to one thing — the LCH. The Scudetto is the concern of Higuain, Mandzukic and Dybala, and others will handle the Italian Cup. But the European Cup is a challenge for the real titans. And if we judge Ronaldo’s time only by his success in the LCH, then there is nothing to be happy about. Well, Agnelli’s feint ended in a fiasco: with each new season, Juve was eliminated from the tournament earlier and earlier. And who knocked it out? Ajax, Lyon and Porto.

It didn’t help, of course, that along with the transfer, a period of instability began when three coaches were replaced in three years. And the further away, the weaker Juventus was. But you have to blame everyone, not just one person. Especially when this one person was doing his best, this season, Ronaldo is the fastest ever to reach the 100 goal mark in Italy. In three years, he has won every trophy that can be won. Well, in Italy. If he were anyone else, we would say that the transfer was more than successful.

But was it worth it, given that Torino had to pay 31 million directly to Ronaldo in addition to the high price tag?

The club says yes. That ticket sales have picked up, and better sponsorship deals have been made with Adidas, Jeep and Allianz, not to mention an increased number of fans on social media.

If you round it up, on average, Ronaldo costs Juventus 80 million euros each year. And even after all the players agreed to the reduced salaries, the figure remained more than impressive.

So what’s next?

Ronaldo is well aware that his contract does not expire until next year. And he has many reasons not to rush to leave.

Recently, vice-president Pavel Nedved said that ” Pirlo is staying — just like Ronaldo.” One is already gone, waiting for the second? Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez also said something like that: when asked if her boyfriend was leaving, she said briefly, ” Se Queda.” It remains.

But who will pull Ronaldo’s salary? This is precisely the reason that will motivate him not to rush to leave. But we can’t tell what the striker is thinking. If not Juventus, then who?

Real Madrid again?

Whether it is essential or not, think for yourself that the other day a truck with expensive supercars of a football player made a 16-hour trip from his home in Turin to another house in Madrid.

Uncertainty over whether he will stay at Juventus cannot fuel further speculation that he is interested in returning to Real Madrid, where he has scored 450 goals and won 16 trophies, including four Champions Leagues, in nine seasons.

This summer, the budget of Perez will be reduced by 100 million euros, in connection with which the team will leave such prominent people as Sergio Ramos. Given that Real Madrid is always trying to save on wages, we are unlikely to see Cristiano in Madrid. He goes it is understandable: in the city centre, he has a hotel and a luxury specialized clinic. His girlfriend’s family lives there, too.

What about going back to Manchester?

After 2009, Manchester United thought a lot about how to get their pupil back. The commercial benefits are apparent, and Ronaldo himself remains a top player. And even though he’s soon 37, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wouldn’t mind giving him a chance. After all, he was only “in favour” of inviting 34-year-old Edinson Cavani.

The Norwegian himself respects Ronaldo, who played with him in the same team in the 2003-04 season. In his opinion, he is the coolest teammate of his career, just above even Paul Scholes. And the coach is still communicating with the Portuguese, who advised him to pay attention to his compatriot Bruno Fernandes.

United also have the money for such a move. The transfer cost may be moderate since Juve will only get rid of the player with the most significant salary.

Pension in France

A move to France seems logical — that’s where Ronaldo hasn’t played yet. He has already played — and won-in England, Spain and Italy, and it remains only to win the French trophies. Here, too, there is a money club in the face of PSG.

However, we know that Parisians do not plan to spend much. Even the Qatari sheikh-owned club has suffered from the effects of the pandemic and doesn’t want to take any chances. Therefore, in recent months, the Parisians have only thought about extending the contracts of their main stars like Neymar. And in the summer, the primary “transfer” will be a new agreement with Kylian Mbappe.

There is information that last summer, PSG already received the opportunity to buy Ronaldo but refused. Jorge Mendes, the footballer’s agent, often attends Paris Saint-Germain games, but his relationship with President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has soured slightly in recent years.

Return to Sporting?

After Ronaldo scored the 700th goal of his career, Sporting President Federico Varandas proposed to rename the stadium “Jose Alvalade” in honour of the five-time winner of the Golden Ball.

This year, the club won the championship for the first time since Ronaldo left for Manchester in 2003. Varandas spoke on national television, saying that he believes that the return of the striker is possible.

“Cristiano was one of the first to congratulate me on my victory. But for now, he has an agreement with Juventus, where he wants to win the league. Everything depends on him, but he is not only a great player but also a Sporting fan.

Cristiano’s mother also promised to talk to him: “I will try to persuade him to come back and try on the colours of Sporting,” she said on TVI 24.

This development is quite possible, because Sporting is an exciting team, with players like Pedro Goncalves and Nuno Mendes. And coach Ruben Amorim is considered a rising star.

But the player’s agent was quick to dash the hopes of the Portuguese fans: “At the moment, Ronaldo has no plans to return. He is proud of Sporting’s achievements, but his mind is elsewhere.”

Cristiano Ronaldo: What's next?

 

He the best forward of his era and one of the best in the history of football. And many generally consider him the best player of all time. The opinion is controversial, but it also has the right to exist. In this article, we will take a detailed look at Ronaldo’s club career.

Ronaldo was born in Rio de Janeiro, the third child in a poor Brazilian family. However, poverty also has its criteria – the family of Nelio and Sonia Nazario never lived in the favelas. I also worked in a telephone company.

It was primarily thanks to him that Ronaldo became a football player since his mother did not encourage this hobby of his son, and his father, on the contrary, tried to support him in this.

At the age of 10, the boy began to study in a futsal club but then moved to a large field.

Cruzeiro 1993-1994

Ronaldo did not enter, and he broke into big football. Having signed his first professional contract in his first season, he scored 20 goals in 21 matches for Cruzeiro! And these are only official games, and in friendly matches, Ronaldo scored eight more goals.

“Phenomenon” – so the fans called him, and there was something for it. Excellent starting and distance speed, excellent technique, physical power, strong shots from both legs – there were no weak points in the forward’s game.

I always admired his passes, especially the way “Toothy” (another nickname of Ronaldo, associated with his appearance) could dramatically change directions at speed. Neither before nor after it, nothing like this was observed.

PSV 1994-1996

The Dutch ” PSV ” had a great experience of successfully acquiring Brazilian forwards because, before the arrival of Ronaldo, the club left Romario, who moved to Barcelona.

The “phenomenon” completely replaced the famous compatriot, already in the first season with 30 goals, becoming the top scorer of the Dutch championship, with the second-placed Patrick Kluivert trailing by 12 goals. Ronaldo started the 1995-1996 season with the same impact, scoring 19 goals in 21 official matches. But then a knee injury followed, and in February 1996, the striker underwent surgery, after which the season was virtually over for him.

Barcelona 1996-1997

Despite his health problems, Ronaldo moves to Barcelona, which paid PSV $ 20 million. In Catalonia, the Brazilian spent only a season, but this season was one of the best in the career of a football player.

In the Spanish league, Ronaldo scored 34 goals, becoming his top scorer, and his accurate shot from the 11-meter mark in the final of the Cup Winners ‘ Cup brought Barcelona this trophy.

And at the end of 1997, Ronaldo, being already a player of Inter, received his first “Golden Ball”.

Inter 1997-2002

Ronaldo could have been at Inter much earlier – back in early 1995, and the club signed a contract with PSV and the priority right to buy out the player. However, a year earlier, Massimo Moratti did not interrupt the price of “Barcelona”, considering it too high.

Indeed, a miser pays twice. Moratti gave Barca $ 25 million, which at that time was a football transfer record.

By and large, Ronaldo spent only one entire season at Inter, his first at this club. Then he scored 34 goals in all competitions, and “Nerazzurri” became the second in the championship and took the UEFA Cup.

But in the 1998-1999 season, the team began to feel feverish – during the season, Interchanged four coaches and took 9th place in the championship. And Ronaldo himself began to worry about his knee again. He missed many matches and was far from optimal shape. As a result, another knee operation and a long recovery followed.

Ronaldo entered the field on April 12 2000, in the first final match of the Italian Cup against Lazio, but after 20 minutes left the area on a stretcher. The photo of Ronaldo holding his knee with his face twisted in pain then went around the whole world and left few people indifferent.

2>Real Madrid 2002-2007

After the triumph of the Brazilians on the fields of Japan and South Korea, Ronaldo moves to Real Madrid, where the concept of “galacticos” by Florentino Perez was in full swing – Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane already played in the team.

In Madrid, Ronaldo finally becomes the champion, which he did not manage to do in previous clubs. In the goalscoring race, he is second only to Roy McKie from Deportivo. His goals that season included a goal scored at El Classico against his former team and a hat-trick at Old Trafford in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final. “Real” then lost 3:4, but thanks to the result of the first match (3:1) passed on.

In the following seasons, Ronaldo continued to delight the Madrid fans with his goals (in the 2003-2004 season, he became the top scorer of the championship) and his game. But the club was left without titles time after time. It was not Ronaldo’s fault. It was just that the Galacticos model did not justify itself – in the Real Madrid attack, there was an apparent overkill of the highest-level performers, with a relatively average selection of defensive performers.

This team could break anyone in a single match but at the same time lost a lot of” their ” points. As a result, the club’s president changes, and Fabio Capello comes to the coaching bridge – a well-known fan of tough tactical schemes, in which the” Phenomenon ” did not find a place. Ronaldo still received his second medal of the champion of Spain, but to call his contribution to its conquest, not something that would be decisive but simply significant, will not work.

2>AC Milan 2007-2008

Ronaldo moved to Milan in January 2007 and spent the second half of the season quite productively, having managed to score seven goals before the end of the championship, including against Inter, his former club.

Before starting the following season, Carlo Ancelotti expected the Brazilian to become the central forward of his team. However, at first, Ronaldo’s season was plagued by minor injuries. When it seemed that he had solved all his problems, it happened again.

On February 13, 2008, Ronaldo came on as a substitute in a match against Livorno, and 3 minutes after the collision with the defenders, he lay on the field, clutching his knee. The diagnosis-a of torn ligament of the left knee sounded like a verdict because “Zubastik” was already 31 years old.

In July 2008, his contract with AC Milan expired, and Ronaldo became a free agent while considering retirement.

Corinthians 2008-2011

And in December 2008, the football world sighed with joy – Ronaldo announced his return to big-time football. However, he signed a contract with another Brazilian club – Corinthians. A scandal broke out – the bosses of “Flamengo” said that they were disappointed with the decision of the player, he explained this by the fact that during four months of training at the club “Flamengo” did not offer him a contract.

But Ronaldo’s fans, of whom there are many worldwide, did not care much; most importantly, the “Phenomenon” was back on the field. Even if it was a different Ronaldo-plump, slow, trying once again not to go into the joints, the genius remained a genius – in two seasons in 65 matches for the club, Ronaldo scored 35 goals and finally won the titles of his homeland-the Sao Paulo state championship and the Brazilian Cup.

By the way, here the” Phenomenon ” was haunted by injuries – on July 26, 2009, in a match of the Brazilian championship, Ronaldo broke his arm, unsuccessfully landing on it during a fall.

And on February 14, 2011, at a specially assembled press conference, Ronaldo announced his retirement from football.

Looking back at Ronaldo’s career, it is unfortunate that he missed too much due to injuries. But when he was healthy, Ronaldo was the best in the world. After all, he is a phenomenon without any quotation marks.

Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays in Real Madrid as well as in the Portuguese international team. Hailing from Argentine, Messi is to oppose Cristiano’s football manner with his own unique style that one will hardly ever repeat. Lionel Messi is the FC Barcelona and Argentinian International tea, captain. When it comes to the age of Messi and Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar is a bit older. It means he had more time to score more goals and win more trophies. However, Messi fans have nothing to worry about. They fav is approaching Cristiano as fast as possible.

Messi vs Ronaldo – Strong Skills

Ronaldo threats any defender despite his position on the pitch. It seems like Cristiano does not actually care about the distance between him and the goal. Just a bit of footwork on boot in addition to high speed and we have a player who can beat any defender and make a whipped cross inside the box. His free kicks are overwhelming and appear to be the major asset for both club and international team. Messi boasts an opposite manner although he is also unbelievable at high speed and ball control. He looks less powerful on the go but agiler. This fact makes it impossible for the defender to tackle Messi. He keeps the ultimate balance between speed and ball control. His free kicks are also a threatening weapon for any team, which plays against Argentina or Barcelona.

Messi vs Ronaldo – Weak Sides

Ronaldo occasionally looks to hopeless when the defender’s resistance is intensive enough. It results in his occasional falling down. Cristiano likes it to go to the ground effortlessly. His tricks are sometimes useless. Maybe, replacing them with a pass or cross would look like a greater idea. Messing up too much scoring opportunities is also a problem. Remember the first quarterfinal with Juventus where he could easily make the score 4-0. But he missed. As for Messi’s weaknesses, he looks perfect although Lionel sometimes seeks more scoring opportunities instead of assisting his partners in a beneficiary scoring position. He is smaller if compared with typical defenders. This fact makes it easier for them to push forward away from the ball when he approaches the net.

Early Life and Age of Messi and Ronaldo

Eight years later he started his football career and joined beginners youth football team called Andorinha. The year 1995 appeared to be defining for a promising young player.

Luckily for him and the global football community, Messi was given a trial by Carles Rexach, a former Barcelona manager, and got his place in the glorious team.

Messi vs Ronaldo – Top Scorers

He made overall 24 appearances in all competitions. While the situation in La Liga loos rather promising for his team, the defeat from AC Roma is a total disaster considering the 3-goal lead after the first match. Cristiano Ronaldo is unstoppable this year. He scores in every European match and shows outstanding results making 16 appearances and scoring 24 goals in addition to 6 assists. Real Madrid continues its way in the Champions League after the toughest challenge from Juventus. It means more scoring chances for CR7.
