Cristiano Ronaldo: Don't you dare copying my tricks!

[Frisko]

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.

C.Ronaldo the 'creater' of the crossover

[Handoyo]

Frisko? You are kidding? Right? Ho ho. Ho ho. Oh man. And you think Mourinho is arrogant. Oh man. That piece of crap showboating Ronaldo's interivew has ARROGANCE written all over it. Does he invent the step-over? No. Did he copy it from someone else? WhoopidoHELLYEAH! What kind of move did he invent anyway? That diving as if you're hit by a 16-wheeler? Well sorry Cris, but Nedved has patented that move when you were still wearing diapers!

This interview is definitely the most stupid I have ever seen. Stupidity epitomised!

Btw Frisko, I hope I don't offend you. This critic is directed to Cristiano Ronaldo himself.

[Frisko]

Oh no it's ok Han. I'm sure he wasn't referring to the step-overs though, he has quite a few moves!

He's been described as the player with the quickest feet in the world, with only Denilson able to challenge him on that in recent years.

Players do have their own moves, Ronaldinho has that great one he showed when he scored against Milan, Owen has his unique way to shoot, Blanco has his crazy "clamp-the-ball" move, and so on.

It's fun to watch this kind of stuff, don't you think?

[Handoyo]

Hmmm, I don't recall any Ronaldinho speciality against Milan. If you were referring to the elastico, that move was invented by Rivellino, not him. I don't notice Owen unique way of shooting. Maybe something I missed. About the clamp-the-ball move. Man, that's a weird move that I doubt anyone would try anyway, but it's very entertaining!

But like I said, Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't invented any move whatsoever. If he meant to say that nobody shouldn't copied the speed in which he move his feet, than I would just say nothing and keep quiet. Just an opinion, I think the Ronaldo (Ingrato) of old has a quicker feet than him.

[scutzon]

I don't agree with him. You can't copy style, yes, but tricks? Hell, everyone does the same tricks! The ones you mentioned, Frisko, are more of playing style than tricks, IMO. Not tricks. Tricks are more like step-overs, the "Zidane-turn-thingy", Cruyff turn, etc.

[Handoyo]

Zidane-turn-thingy has also been done by a lot of people too. I don't know who invented it but I am quite sure that it wasn't Zidane. I know that Davids, when he was in Juve, once did that kind of turn. Also, Ronaldo.

[J zanetti]

Sorry but that is one of the lamest comments Ive heard ! All respect to you bro but this is silly poll aswell
If there was a copyright issue then we would have only one player crossing the ball and one player heading and so on! This is just way too obscure

[Miki]

What exactly can Cristiano Ronaldo do that a top Brazilian can't? Nothing. He didn't invent a single thing. He just imports nice flashy moves to the English Premier League and he thinks he copyrighted them. Just because he 'discovered' the step-over and other moves by himself doesn't mean others haven't discovered them earlier. Either Cristiano Ronaldo is so arrogant or he's too stupid.

Oh by the way, he's probaby the guy with the quickest feet that wastes the most chances. As hell nobody would want to copy that.

One could argue that succesfully observing another players' style and tricks carefully and integrate it into your own game is an art in itself. Has Ronaldo lost it? Nah, but he's definately naive to think that taking for example a Ronaldinho dribble or Totti pass and training it yourself until you can do it cannot in some examples be a clever move.

The Zidane move is a copy of Danish player Michael Laudrup. The one where you twist 360 degrees stepping on the ball... Then again Laudrup might have taken it from a player I haven't seen.

Finally I would like to say that even though C. Ronaldo has quick feets when in possession of the ball there have been so many other players who could do it at the same speed or even faster; Brian Laudrup, Denilson, Robben...

[Riku]

One of the funniest comments I`ve heard in a while

[Granit]

hehe good one...!

Yeah, he thinks that he is soo danm good...

[LingCiaPuk]

Cristiano Ronaldo said: "I see football as an art and all players as artists". Stevie Wonder sees better than this guy. I mean, how ignorant do you have to be to consider football art? Wake up, dude! Football has stopped being art soooooooooooo long ago. Football is business, and business men know, if one guy does some tricks and has succes, they would have to be idiots not to copy them.
And BTW, he's moves and tricks even though nice, pale in comparison to what Ronaldinho or Zidane do on the pitch... I think Rino Gattuso has better m's&t's than him... :-P
That's all!










No it's not, Man Utd sucks big-time!

[Hammoudi]

Oh Man, this is so freaking hillarious.

Oh C. Ronaldo, you get me there. But shouldn't you practice before you preach? If I am not mistaken, you've been recently seen carrying a ladies' purse? Isn't that copying?

God, some players are better being kept busy or sunbathing in the Maldives. This what happens when the following fromula is met:
NO LEAGUE HOPE + NO CL + BIG EGO = DISASTER

Of course, I added my own parameter to the equation: PLAYING IN EPL.

LOL.

Unfortunately though, there will be Cristiano Ronaldo fans who worship the stepovers he makes and probably still believe the man invented them.

If people want to believe so then let them, Tim. The important thing is that all of us unbiased football fans know the truth.

How many times haven't I displayed my gigantic affection for what Ronaldinho does on a football pitch to a certain level of class matching a freaking God!?

I must say I actually like this player. He seems like a nice guy and all. But I don't see any reason to hail him as the best player or talent for that sake on the planet. He is good but not a star. Maybe in the future, maybe not. Perhaps he will grow on a human level too like we thought Frey did...

[scutzon]

Nice one, Riku!!

What a lame comment from CR!

The only thing that CR could possibly copy from Ronaldinho is his haircut.

He might a rapist haha 5 girls have come forward

I live in the US and this Shit is getting out of hand. I am super happy I am married. But any chick that came to my place after 10 was to fk no nice way around that. If I invited you to see a movie. That movie was my dick

When I started going to bars. Same if you came back with me at 1-3am. It’s for dick

So what are you single dudes suppose to do? Video tape them agreeing. Have them face time both your moms to let them know you are about to fk?

I had my high school girlfriend said I forced her to. It’s like seriously we went out for 3 years after. Begging you for 4 months and forcing myself are two different things.
