First, you have the famous R9, one of my favourite football players of all time, who could dribble pass the entire court of opponent players and score incredible goals.
See below:
Then came Ronaldinho, which means "small Ronaldo", who could (can?) do all sorts of magical moves and even volley the ball to hit the crossbar every time! (Many people think this is fake, but I'm quite sure it is real. There is something called the crossbar challenege ever since this video came out, and many other footballers have taken this challenge, and it is not all so special to see them hitting the crossbar often with the ball)
Then of course, came the handsome, super skillful and now-even-richer Cristiano Ronaldo, aka CR7, who got his name Ronaldo because then-US president Ronald Reagan was his father's favourite actor, "rewriting the history of football" with the record-breaking transfer fee of 80 million pounds from Manchester United to Real Madrid (record-breaking does not including the night with Paris Hilton, even though Paris's friend did say "(Paris Hilton) thinks he is sexy and exotic, and loves his body. And she loves men with accents. She says it's like an aphrodisiac.") .
Vocab time:aphrodisiac noun[C], adj
something, usually a drug or food, which is believed to cause sexual desire in people
So, are they all so good at football because they are all named "Ronaldo"?
Maybe, maybe not, according to Wikipedia, the listed "Ronaldos" are mostly footballers with great success.
But the interesting thing is, what happens after great success? Take a look:
Ronaldo had sex with a transvestite:
Vocab time:
transvestite noun[C]
a person, especially a man, who wears the clothes of the opposite sex, often for sexual pleasure
Partying Ronaldinho:
Milan would consider Ronaldinho transfer request : quoting "Ronalinho has struggled since his move to Serie A from Barcelona in July and has only managed the bench recently".
Ronaldinho left out of Brazil squad : quoting "Off-form Ronaldinho was left out of Brazil's squad on Thursday for next month's World Cup qualifiers and the Confederations Cup."
Vocab time:
Off-form adj
oppose to On-form, meaning not to be in a good condition
All these "Ronaldos" have a common interest, PARTYING, now that CR7 is still on-form and we still manage to see world-class football skills, what will his future be? What will he become?
As a fan of his football skills, I hope he will do well. As no fan of his clubbing skills, I advise he focus on his career.
Maybe learn from Kaka, he is famous for being a Brazilian who does not party and for his model-husband role.
Why did I use "I advise he focus on his career" and not "I advise he focuses on his career"?
