What On Earth Really Happened To Cristiano Ronaldo's Dribbling

When Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Manchester United in 2003, he was known for one thing and that is incredible skills. His dribbling was out of this world, his feet was so quick it makes defenders dis-comfortable.


Thou, not every one loved his tricks at first, but later on begin to like him the more because of his generosity.

In fact, when he was at Sporting as teenager, his manager Laszlo Boloni used to tell him  not to dribble too much, he said "for him the thing he wanted to do most was dribble.  My job was to tell him that dribbling pass one or two players is important, but five is too many." As he was intelligent, he started to go down the right path and that his intelligent got him to Manchester United, there he got his mentor Sir Alex Ferguson who shape him from a dribbler to more efficient player.

Ronaldo developed the more, there he got assists, going pass players like they weren't there, goals and creates lots of chances. His dribbling was making defenders mad.

At beginning, it was all about embarrassing players, wanting to beat them and show his skills.

But one day we started to notice that, Ronaldo scores more goals with less dribbles unlike before. The question is where did his dribbling goes?. Is he getting too old of dribbling or was Alex Ferguson coaching out of him?

Thou, he can still jump higher and can score ridiculous goals and breaks so many records, in all, he still got criticized, the most painful was former Real Madrid and AC Milan coach Fabio Capello. He said, "the truth is that Roanaldo hasn't dribbled pass anyone for three years. I remember when he flew past players and left them on the spots."


The trust is, Ronaldo changed his game, he used to be motivated by dribbling but now he is only concern with two things and that is scoring goals and winning games. He said, " I see football as a mission, go to the field win, make me better. Those moments when I went to the field thinking I'm going to dribble. If I'm honest, I don't have those moment anymore."

Even at his age, Ronaldo tricks brings defenders down.

Scoring goals, winning games and trophies is more important than making defender looking down.

These are the reasons why Ronaldo dribbling are no more.
