I already aknowledged that as true.. but Jamie is making it out like he just kicks it forward and runs around players.
No I'm not.
He doesn't try and take players on that often. When he does, he pushes it in front.
He's not really involved in that much of Real Madrid's build up play, usually he's the finisher of the move because of his exceptional movement and shooting ability.
this is probably most important point u have made my friend
when ronaldo try to pick up ball in deep he just slows down play of real madrid. the other players know this, mourinho knows this, this is why it has been logical and happen for quite a while, ronaldo is best utlizie in attacking side of pitch. if he get onto ball in deeper areas he is liable to slow down any attacking or constructive moves. this doesnt mean he is bad but he is more effective when he receives the ball on the end of a move
if he played a deeper role real madrid would not be as successful and ronaldo would not have as many goals
this is why i say before if ronaldinho and ronaldo was in same team, ronaldinho would look to finish move by getting ronaldo the ball. they have different roles
