Where Ronaldo?
Where Ronaldo?
Cristiano Ronaldo was second behind Lionel Messi ceremony of the FIFA Golden Ball. It seems he will become harder if it wants to regain its title as the best player in the world.
But that will soon be the second best in the "Real" (Madrid)? Rise of Gareth Bale, who is 5 years younger than him, suggesting that things are going there. What portend the future of 3-time winner of the Golden Ball?
First option: Transfer to PSG
Zlatan Ibrahimovic leaves the scene Ronaldo comes out on stage. He inherits chief, bash ringleader, bull and put it in his pocket the same space as the Swede salary (around € 19,6 million. Season). And he will try to lead PSG to win the European Cup. This will be his new challenge. "I speak a little French," he told reporters at the ceremony for the Golden Ball on Monday for greater persuasiveness added: "comme si, comme ca" (roughly). It is known that he understood very well with coach Laurent Blanc and club president Nasser al Kelaifi. It would be pretty boring to finish his days in European football by winning the sole Ligue 1 and do not touch the peaks again, but I imagine if you took the club to their best ranking in the Champions League or even win it? This would remain as the greatest achievement of his career. After 2-year stay in Paris and then he can go to play in US Major League borne arms on the Champs-Elysees of remission if his stay in Paris is successful.
Probability 90%
Second option: 2 more in the "Real", then in the US
Nobody can force Ronaldo to leave Madrid. He has a contract until 2018 and even one so ruthless to his players club as the Spanish giant will hardly dares to play dirty the biggest scorer in the club's history. They can lick the huge financial advantages of saving his huge salary and harvesting of a large transfer fee, but if Ronaldo wants, it will remain. The additional plus of staying in Spain will be more trophies as "Real" will surely win titles in the next 3 seasons. Uncomfortable in this option is the descent from the top spot in the internal hierarchy of the club. Over the weekend, Bale showed that he can run wild but Ronaldo with 2 more goals with his head as if taken from his repertoire. And he will want Cristiano to stay on the "Bernabeu", without №1? Is he ready to admit Zinedine Zidane to pull from the game, let him rest, asking him to give way and do not perform as fouls, as now? Ronaldo could play another two very good seasons in Madrid and then move to the US, but to do it may be required to reduce their claims.
Probability 80%
Third option: Romantic return to "Old Trafford"
CEO Ed Woodward probably already calculated all the shirts, which can sell from his return. Can you imagine meeting him with the chorus "Viva Ronaldo" his first match? At the beginning will be a true golden rain. But Cristiano Ronaldo is not the same player who walked away from "Old Trafford" in 2009 and "United" certainly no longer the same club. Louis van Gaal is unlikely to be on the bench, and nobody knows who will take his place. If, say, someone like Mauricio Pochettino asked a lot of money for a player whose feet are no longer so young to press like crazy every minute of every game? If the club turn back the clock and appoint Ryan Giggs, then he will want to come back the clock and buy Ronaldo? Premier League would be quite unwelcoming place to close the circle. Moreover plays and his legacy of "Old Trafford". Would not it be better to leave the memories of himself intact? "Real" (Madrid) might want to make a deal with "United", but Ronaldo will refer to this reluctantly.
Probability 50%
A fourth option: Big surprise
Maybe "Bayern" (Munich)? Admiration and affection towards Cristiano Carlo Ancelotti no secret to anyone: he voted for him as the best coach of the year. But that would be a very different reunion.
Maybe he likes the occasional season back in Portugal? The "Sporting" (Lisbon), where it all began? Or two years in China? Why not do like David Beckham and summer to move to the United States only 31 years?
