Cristiano Ronaldo stumbles: Too many step overs from Cristiano. There was a time when Cristiano Ronaldo did too many moves. Yes, sometimes even Ronaldo over does it and tries to do too many soccer tricks and step over moves. Cristiano takes a tumble when he tries to be too clever with the soccer ball. When Ronaldo first started playing for Manchester United he’d often force things and try to beat players when he really didn’t have to. He could have just made a simple pass. He had to learn to play smart and simple at times.
Now, the Real Madrid star saves his soccer tricks and moves for the right times, usually in the attacking third where he can beat a player and score or get off a cross. Yes, even the best soccer players in the world had to go through a development type phase as they crafted their game. It’s good see Ronaldo could laugh about it….
Yes, even the best soccer players in the world over do it sometimes. See how Cristiano Ronaldo stumbles in the video below. While the step over move is effective you just can’t do too many sometimes!
It’s good to see Ronaldo during his early development stages at Manchester United. It took some time for Ronaldo to master the game, especially the professional level and fast pace of the English Premier League, which was maybe a bit rougher and faster than Ronaldo had experienced in Portugal. But Cristiano Ronaldo developed into one of the greatest soccer players to ever play the game – and with incredibly fast feet.
Ronaldo credits players like Roy Keane for making him a stronger player:
“I did different things. I realised that I was good at Manchester United, when I played with players like Giggs, Keane or Ferdinand. I had talent. The English mentality is different and those people helped me a lot to be what I am now. I have to thank my colleagues in Manchester.”
