Same Old Same Old ...
This video from last nights Real Madrid v Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito 'Peace Cup' ('preseason friendly') match for me perfectly sums up Cristiano Ronaldo.
A sublime piece of skill followed by an exaggerated tumble in the box to trick the referee into awarding Real Madrid a penalty and booking the Quito defender.
Nobody doubts Ronaldo's talent - it's there for all to see: he will never be fully respected, however, until he stops diving. He'd curbed his enthusiasm for such behaviour under the supervision of Sir Alex Ferguson but, sadly, it looks like he's returning to his old ways.
What a shame.

Yep. There definitely won't be anybody that's as strong a figure as Fergie at Madrid to sort him out. His best years are now behind him. No-one has left Man U and gone onto bigger things. Cr9 will not be an exception.
