After scoring twice in a single senior game, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the half of the Saudi Premier League, and after coming to West Asia, he contributed 8 goals and 2 assists in 6 games, and some people lamented that the oil banker's annual salary of 200 million euros before tax was worth it.
Brazil, which is far away in South America, also has a striker who keeps scoring goals. Suarez, who left Europe, has eight goals and three assists in eight games in the Brazilian Serie A, while his annual salary is only 3 million euros.
01. Cristiano Ronaldo with 8 goals and 2 assists in 6 games: A hat-trick after his senior year
a. The 62nd hat-trick! Is the 38-year-old Ronaldo worth 200 million euros a year?
Ronaldo has had a difficult period on his way to adapting to the Saudi league. In the first game, he turned over the white roll when he watched his teammates score, and in the second game, he lost in the Saudi Super Cup.
The first goal that was hard to wait for was a stoppage-time penalty that barely helped the team equalise. However, in the next three Saudi league games, Ronaldo contributed a big four, an assist and a hat-trick.
The sixth game in Saudi Arabia is quite an abbreviation of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi league so far.
The first goal of a single game was still a thunderous blow from the twelve-yard line.
The most exciting thing for fans was the second goal, which showed Ronaldo's strong scoring ability and opportunity grasp ability.
From stopping the ball to shooting, it showed a high standard. Although the 3 defenders of the Saudi League just gathered around him and did not make the defensive moves they should.
Ronaldo was able to get better in the team, not only because he adapted to this new league, but also because his teammates gradually adapted to Ronaldo's habits.
Counterattacking successive lateral shifts, all Ronaldo had to do was a gentle push in front of the goal.
B. The hat-trick is not the end: the Shachao Golden Boot is getting closer
After coming to the Sha Super League, Ronaldo has scored more than 3 goals in a single game for the second time. That brings Ronaldo's career hat-trick total to 62.
According to historical data, these 62 hat-tricks were mainly concentrated in the Real Madrid period (44), and Juve and Manchester United only contributed 3 times each.
In the current Saudi league goalscorer list, Ronaldo is still 5 goals away from first-place Talisca .
Because Ronaldo's teammate is injured and will miss 3-4 weeks, with the current momentum, the possibility of Ronaldo winning the league golden boot is becoming more and more likely.
02. The same 8 goals! Suarez earns just €3 million a year
a. Conquer the Brazilian League! Suarez has eight goals and three assists in eight games
After returning to Uruguay to help his parent team win two trophies, Suarez joined Bundesliga side Gremio on a free agency, signing with the team until December 2024 with an annual salary of just €3 million.
Suarez has contributed eight goals and three assists in the last eight games, conquering the Brazilian, who is extremely picky about technique at his feet, in a variety of ways.
Like Cristiano Ronaldo, Suarez has scored a hat-trick. This included a pick-and-shoot, a single knife and a volley.
As Messi's best partner, Suarez started his own three-goal road in a single game with a pick-and-shoot.
If the single-cut goal is a little bland, it just highlights Suarez's ghostly run.
Then the third personal goal that followed, which came from a volley to score, had to be admired for his shooting skills.
b. Not just attacking the kaleidoscope, Suarez is angry with his heart
It is said that the Brazilian league is the most creative stage in the green, and who would have thought that when Suarez came here, the other strikers were overshadowed.
Because Suarez has so many scoring methods, even if he doesn't just play technique and fighting with you in the game, even if he crosses his eye, he can win a blockbuster.
Heading goals is also a daily operation for Suarez, he has a good sense of anticipation and grabbing points, height and weight are also not at a loss, although the starting height gradually decreases, the opponent's defender still cannot prevent him.
This goal will remind countless fans of his peak years in the Premier League, and any small mistake by a defender will make Suarez's feast.
He is too quick-witted, keeping an eye on defenders and can deliver incredible shots from all angles.
What made Suarez fans even more excited was the assist, and after the opponent fouled, the players were still complaining around the referee, and Suarez signaled his teammate to send a free kick quickly.
After receiving the ball, he kept passing to his teammates to add an assist and the team scored a crucial goal to break the deadlock.
03. Did the Club World Cup win the Baja Liga? Controversial penalties are the cause
a. Riyadh Crescent wins Flamengo: 2 penalties + 1 red card
If you compare the level of the Baja Liga and the Saudi Premier League, one might use the semi-finals of the Club World Cup in which AFC Crescent won 3-2 against Copa Libertadores champions Flamengo.
However, it should be noted that this match in West Asia has some "off-the-side" from some angles.
The first penalty of that game was a reflection of Bieto's speed advantage. However, before the two fell to the ground together, the Brazilian player was actually closer to controlling the ball.
Of course, Bieto took advantage of his speed and suddenly grabbed the position in front of him, giving the penalty a certain convincing force.
The bigger controversy came from the second penalty, and Gerson did have foot contact with Bieto in the box, but it should not have allowed the opponent to fall to the ground so decisively.
Not to mention that the referee also sent off Gersson with a red card after blowing the penalty, resulting in Flamengo needing 10-on-11 throughout the second half.
In the Club World Cup final, Riyadh Crescent played a 5-3 goal match with Real Madrid, making more people believe that the best team in the Saudi league is not a fish belly.
However, this does not mean that the rest of the Saudi league teams are strong, after all, the Riyadh Crescent is also unique in this league (the first team in history to win the AFC Champions League four times).
b. Will Ronaldo return to the Europa League?
Compared with Suarez, who returned to South America to enjoy football, the 38-year-old Ronaldo is clearly more eager to return to the European League and even the Champions League stage.
With a lot of goals in the Saudi league, can Ronaldo be favored by European teams? In particular, the owner of Newcastle is also from Saudi Arabia, leaving a lot of room for imagination for fans.
However, Newcastle, which lacks stamina, seems to have a tendency to fall out of the top four of the Premier League, and it is really not easy for Ronaldo to return to the Champions League stage.
Conclusion:
Suarez has shown his attacking talent in the Brazilian league, not only in the goal itself, but also in the way the goal is scored and the means of attacking it.
Ronaldo, by contrast, is more focused on the goal itself. Whether it's a penalty, a kick in front of goal, or a blast, it's the best way to face the goal. As for which one fans prefer, that's a matter of opinion.
