Ronaldo ranked 20th in the Ballon d'Or, the worst personal record, and is not the first man in Portugal! Since last season, Ronaldo has not even been the best player in Portugal, and the 37-year-old Ronaldo is late and no longer at his peak!
Serie A MVP Leo, ranked 14th in the 2022 Golden Ball awards, ranking 6 places higher than Ronaldo! Ronaldo has been the highest ranked player at the Portuguese Ballon d'Or in the last 16 years, and with the birth of Leo, Leo is the first Portuguese player to rank higher than Ronaldo in the Ballon d'Or in the last 16 years! The last time Ronaldo was surpassed by his national team teammates in the Golden Ball rankings was as far back as 2006. Although Ronaldo said that he still wants to compete in the 2024 European Cup, the god who went down the mountain, after the club became a substitute, has slowly lost the absolute main position of the national team.
The final ranking of the Golden Globe was settled, and Benzema was expected to beat Mane to win the first Golden Ball Award of his career as he wished, while Ronaldo finally ranked only 20 at the Golden Ball, equaling the lowest ranking record of his personal career Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo has scored just two goals in 12 appearances this season, including a penalty, and with the World Cup just around the corner, Ronaldo has never found his best competitive form.
For Ronaldo, the club's performance is very bad, and whether the club can score a double goal in the new season is doubtful If he wants to enter the 2023 Ballon d'Or squad, Ronaldo can only hope to shine at the World Cup in Qatar and lead the Portuguese national team to create new history. But in this World Cup, strong teams such as France, Argentina and Brazil are eyeing the Hercules Cup, and Ronaldo must show the top performance of God if he wants to make history.
In Portugal's Nations League, Ronaldo started two consecutive games without scoring, and in the end, Portugal was also blocked from the top four, and could only watch Spain hold their heads high. Whether Ronaldo should continue to start in the Portuguese national team has also caused widespread discussion, even though Ronaldo is one of the top superstars in the history of the Portuguese national team, but when the team struggles and the vortex of public opinion hits, Ronaldo bears the brunt.
But it is undeniable that Ronaldo still has the ability to turn the tide with his own strength on the field, and can still carry the team forward through the mortal heroic performance of the gods, the World Cup is imminent, Ronaldo is still trying to adjust his competitive status, looking forward to the Qatar World Cup, we can see a different Ronaldo.
