This is quite interesting, from Champions Magazine:
Cristiano Ronaldo:
"There is one thing that annoys me, I don't like people copying my tricks.
I would never, for example, copy Ronaldinho if I saw him doing something on the pitch. I see football as an art and all players as artists. If you are a top artist the last thing you would do is paint a picture that someone has already painted.
I would never dream of looking at Ronaldinho and trying to emulate him. I would be offended if he tried to copy one of my tricks.
Different tricks come naturally to gifted players and we must concentrate on developing our own natural talents rather than try and be someone else."
I agree with him, and voted YES.
