While 2015
couldn’t have got off to a better start for Cristiano Ronaldo when he won his
second Ballon d’Or on the trot, it’s fairly safe to say that it is rapidly
turning in to his own "annus horribilis."
If football
teaches us anything, it’s that form is temporary and class is permanent. Yet
the fact remains that, in terms of good and bad weeks, the last few have been
about as bad as you can get for the Portuguese superstar
It’s no
secret that since 2012, CR7 and his team have laboured long and hard to create
an image befitting one regarded—quite rightly—as one of the greatest players in
the history of the game.
The image of
a good, solid, loyal and encouraging team-mate; remember his much-publicised
welcoming handshake with Gareth Bale when the Welshman first arrived for
training; a good family man, one of the boys who believes there’s no
"I" in team and an all-round good egg.
But within
the space of a few weeks, he has contrived to sling all the hard work down the
swanny, leaving many people less than impressed with his general demeanour and
behaviour, both on and off the pitch.
