I've always loved Ronaldo. Who couldn't? The man is a wizard with the ball, seems to be a genuinely nice guy, and has been seriously put upon by the media in most of the countries he has played in.
My word, he has been World Player of the Year THREE times and they still doubt him. Personally, I think he is pretty sensitive and that the commentary gets to him. As with any striker, there has to be an element of confidence about his game for him to thrive.
Real Madrid didn't appreciate him (obviously) but he seems to have gotten a new lease on life at AC Milan. I can only hope so as it was far to soon for us to have gotten use to football without him.
