Technique is important but so is freedom to flow freely. I agree with you Luis on te importance of letting flare show up. Technique is important but so is freedom to flow freely.

It's probably also why England fails to impress at major world tournaments. It's great to have the fundemantals, but it takes some magic to win the big ones. Ronaldo has that in abundance and will mature with time. “doesn’t pass enough and is thus selfish” - this is a tactic that is drummed into kids at a very early stage in football in england.

Diana Is Ronaldo still with Man U? or where

If he does come back he will be boo’d everywhere Man U plays

Ok Rooney was in the wrong in the first place, BUT to grass up a team mate is diabolical, he was not even nearby.

The English guys at the ESPN-star studios in India point against Ronaldo for the tricks as well.. Their point is - he uses too much trick and doesn't pass enough and is thus selfish.

The majority of English (and to a large extent Northern European) football fans think little of his numeous stepovers and arrogant tricks on the ball, and prefer to see the rugged, no-frills hardman at the back - one of the reasons why players such as John Terry are so well respected. Fabio Cannavaro's reputation and popularity will have shot up no end following the World Cup due to his manner of play being contrary to the stereotypical Italian footballer.
