Why Cristiano Ronaldo is the Best Professional Soccer Player

Here are five reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to be considered the best soccer player on Earth today and why he’ll likely remain so for quite some time to come.

 

Goals, goals, goals
Professional soccer players work their way up through the ranks of their youth leagues, and only a few become champions. However, not everyone can have Cristiano Ronaldo’s success story. When he was only 16, his potential was recognized by Sporting Lisbon scouts at a trial. He continued to score goals throughout his teenage years, advancing from the junior team to the senior club when he was only 18. His goal-scoring prowess continued with Manchester United and Real Madrid FC as well. Though injuries delayed his progress on occasion, he still won numerous prizes over his career including three Premier League Championships with Manchester United, two La Liga titles, and a FIFA Club World Cup with Real Madrid FC; one FIFA World Cup with Portugal; two UEFA European Championships with Portugal and many other accolades in different competitions.

Skills
Cristiano Ronaldo (aka CR7) was born in Funchal, Madeira, and played his first match at 16 years old with Sporting CP. He currently plays as a winger for Spanish club Real Madrid and the Portugal national team. He became an Olympic gold medalist in 2016 and has been a Champions League winner eight times since he joined Real Madrid. Some of his nicknames are The Portuguese Quotesman, The Phenomenon, God's Given Talent, and many more ข้อมูลนักบอล.

Strength
Cristiano Ronaldo, also known as CR7, was born on February 5th, 1985 in Funchal, Madeira. At age eight he was playing for Andorinha. As a 16-year-old he signed with Sporting CP and after a short spell at Portuguese Second Division club Belenenses, he joined Manchester United. The media called him the next coming of George Best. He joined Real Madrid for about €94 million in 2009 and remained there until signing with Juventus in 2018 for €100 million. Ronaldo's transfer to Turin marked his sixth European club.

Determination
Cristiano Ronaldo's unmatched determination and competitive nature have catapulted him to the top of professional soccer as arguably the best player. There are few players in history who have seen such a fast rise through the ranks of soccer as him, which only proves his worth. Not only does he have an unmatched passion for what he does, but he also possesses one of, if not, the best natural abilities in all of professional soccer. From dribbling to scoring to defending, there isn't much that he can't do with both feet. The sheer fact that when you watch him play it seems like you're watching someone who wants it more than anyone else on the field is enough reason alone for why he's so good at what he does.
