Finished. Game over. Divorce, goodbye, many greetings. After three years, 101 goals in 134 games and the ballast of the 305 million euros between the money spent to buy his card (about 100 million euros) and the expense incurred each year for his engagement (31 million net per season) ; Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Juventus, in a bad way, among other things, skipping training at Continassa and delegating to his agent, the powerful Jorge Mendes, the closing of the deal with Manchester City where it was thought he would land CR7 which instead returns to Manchester United.
He did as always, claiming the right of the first move; almost annoyed by the fact that there is no queue to grab the performances.
The question, as they say, arises: why does CR7 leave the Juventus? The answer, indeed, contains many. One, the main one, is this: Cristiano Ronaldo today is the greatest football player-company in the world and he behaves as such. Sentimentality banned, they are not part of his catalog. He got tired, Juventus also got tired before him.
It can’t even be called a love story, that of Cristiano and the Old Lady. He “used” Juventus to feed his legend, scoring repeatedly, without ever really entering the hearts of the fans. It was a foreign body, CR7. True only to himself. A great individualist useful for the turnover, first of all his own and then of the club he plays for. It is no mystery that there is no one in Turin, not even among his teammates, who is tearing his hair right now. Cristiano never went to the “dressing room”, he never mixed with the rest of the team.
The (sensational) decision of the Allegri coach, who left him on the bench for his official championship debut last Sunday was the premise for this farewell, so cynical, so cold. Simply: even for Juve Ronaldo can (must) sacrifice on the altar of the corporate balance sheet.
The technical balance of Cristiano at Juve speaks of two league titles won out of three attempts, of a Champions League that has always failed, of the failed qualitative leap and of the increase in debts in the club’s coffers. There is also the feeling that Ronaldo, an absolute champion, one of the two of the last twenty years (the other is Messi), has always put personal success (goals, money) before that of the team. It is not a fault, but a brand. And today, once the games are over and after three years together, we can say that Juventus has invested in Ronaldo, while Ronaldo has always invested in himself.
