Cristiano Ronaldo said goodbye to greatness in football

The Portuguese decides to leave Real Madrid, probably the biggest club in the world, in exchange for a big club that can not aspire to the same thing.

Leaving Real Madrid is always a step back, unless the second option is Barcelona. There is nothing like Real Madrid. Real Madrid stands before the world of football like Zeus in the ocean: one can rest for a few years, sleep on comfortable reefs and the currents would continue, the waves would not lose their strength and the fish would keep their routine usual. But no sea creature would dare to challenge it. Because the king – the god – is capable of everything.

The feeling of Real Madrid in the last Champions League, when he got the historical triplet, is that sometimes he reaches it with his shirt, with the presence of his players, with the idea that No club can beat it. There was Zeus, able to trigger the worst storm without even the slightest effort. Cristiano Ronaldo was the captain of this sensation. The decision to leave the Merengue for Juventus is to turn its back on that but still a little worse: the team that has chosen is a giant from Europe who, along with the players what she has today, could neither aspire nor a gram of grandeur that could access the White House.

At age 33, Cristiano Ronaldo chooses a game with similarities to those of Neymar when he decides to leave Barcelona for PSG: does not perceive that there is no better place to play football than the one he finds. Juventus is a team that has reached two finals in the last five Champions League. But the model that shows today is that of a group of unknowns. An idol keeper who is no longer there (Buffon left for PSG), two central midfielders who are not at the top (Barzagli and Chiellini), a rather limited midfielder (in the French Cup). World, Khedira shows that it is in decline, Pjanic has never given certainty of global crack) and a forehead that leaves doubts hanging (Dybala is the crack that has not confirmed, Mandzukic would be a good companion and not much more, while Higuain, who could be a worthy companion, would leave his place in Turin)

Yes, it is possible that he made about 20 goals in Serie A and won the title in Italy (as the last seven seasons of the Turin team). It is likely that the group stage will advance and will fight hand in hand with anybody. There is no player – except Messi – who could increase the chances of Juventus in the Champions League. But not much more. There are at least four teams well above Juventus (Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City and Bayern Munich, a list that could be added to Atletico Madrid, Tottenham, PSG and Manchester United).

It seems that he's gone in search of something that he will not find: Cristiano said goodbye to greatness in football.
