It's always been the same I think, he's just been untouchable before due to his outrageously career. You only have to look at the strop he gave when Wilko was giving him a hard time in the first season in Prem. Think thats what it is mate throughout his career he's always been first name on the teamsheet and the main man, now he's getting older it’s not the case and I'd say he's taking it rather badly. Instead of using the playing time he has left letting his football do the talking which he has in the past he is throwing his toys out of the pram and it’s not a good look at all. I imagine a hell of alot of people respect him as one of the greatest players ever but the respect they have for him as a person may be slowly disappearing now. Thats pretty well put to be honest. He no longer is first choice and can't accept it. September time he was saying he wanted to move for Champions League footy, now Saudi Arabia appears good enough. A bit of humility and retire from the very top graciously would go down a lot better for himself and his legacy.

Crazy (imo) fact.
From 9 seasons Ronaldo only won 2 La Ligas.

If he'd just SHUT UP it'd help immensely.
"I talk when I want to..." that tells me all I need to know about his attitude.

Very true. I do however think he's a whiny little bitch though which is a shame as it's putting a bit of a downer on what has been a absolutely brilliant career. It's always been the same I think, he's just been untouchable before due to his outrageously career. You only have to look at the strop he gave when Wilko was giving him a hard time in the first season in Prem. Exactly this. Footballers will put up with a lot to accommodate the best player. Once that isn't the case they'll quickly stick the knife in. I imagine Ronaldo has a lot of former colleagues sharpening their blades! 😁

Crazy (imo) fact. From 9 seasons Ronaldo only won 2 La Ligas. But he did win 4 Champions Leagues and 2 World Club Cups during that period. I’d imagine he was happier with that overall.
