You want him to spit to his fans like Justin Beavis?
Yeah it sucks that he doesn't seem happy when he doesn't score, and that when he scores he goes to the corner alone and does that stupid shit (which I bet is some because with some contract with a video game or whatever). But saying the guy is an asshole outside the pitch is not accurate. Yes he has a big ego, all good players have a big ego, the ego is actually what pushes them to be great.
name one sports guy with an ego as big as him.
He probably has an ego as big as the french actor Alain Delon. That is not cool Niet.
Actually, the ego used to be an integral part of fame and stardom back during Maradona and other pricks' times. It's no longer welcomed now and that's obvious. Cristiano has that big ego for sure, and when he lost the 2012 Ballon d'Or, the ego was blamed, because he's never nice to the fans of opponents, especially when Real travel to their stadia. It's not a good idea to piss off those fans with his
Calma Calma shit. Ronaldo learned his lesson and decided to pretend being humble since then. Apparently, he can't fake it forever.
As for the Balon d'Or, the votes are collected near mid October, so November and December don't count. FIFA knows the winner 3 months earlier, but they let media and commercials go and go to make the most of it... So Ronaldo needs to show his best performance during August and September because people's memory is too short to remember what's going on right now. However, to be fair and accurate, FIFA made an exception in the 2013 Balon d'Or and extended the voting time till the end of November. I think it was unfair, and Ribery could have won that one if it wasn't for the extension.
Regarding Irina, I don't know if that break up was relevant or irrelevant to his performance. We can't know unless it was revealed or leaked one day.
And NO nietzsche, absolutely not all superstars have that ego. Messi probably has some of it, so does Totti, but fellas like KAKA, XAVI, Casillas, Buffon, Ronaldinho and PIRLO definitely don't have any of it.. or at least we see zero of it.
