The Portuguese forward the
legend of the game and the five times BallonD’or award winner Cristiano Ronaldo,
after spending nine glittering seasons with Real Madrid, lifted four champions
league trophy for the club and scoring goals with an average of 55 goals per
season after having a complicated relationship with the club president
Florentino Perez he was compelled to leave the club.
The background of the dispute is that a year ago, the club president Mr Perez
said that he would increase the Ronaldo’s wage. At the same time, the players of
his calibre Lionel Messi got a new a contract of €41m net per year,Neymar is
earning €35m net per year, and he is only earning €21m net per year despite
being the BallonD’or award winner for the consecutive three years. The
relationship between the both parties becoming critical day by day and after all
these conflicts, he decided to leave the club and the club president didn’t
force him to stay and shows that Ronaldo wants to leave, that’s why he is
leaving. After all these speculations, Cristiano Ronaldo joins Juventus with the
transfer fee of €100m.This was not only the lost to the club, but also the club
manager, the world cup winner for France, Mr Zinedine Zidane who put the team to
win back to back the champions league consecutively for the club for three years
had also left the club, before the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
An individual player can play a vital role in making a club bigger, but a player
can be bigger than the club. Cristiano Ronaldo was that individual for Real
Madrid. Now, since the departure of both the manager and forward (who used to be
the key player for the success of Real Madrid for the last 5 years), Real Madrid
is facing a huge crisis. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 450 goals in 438 appearance
for Real Madrid and after Ronaldo’s departure a huge void of scoring goals is
created for Real Madrid. Beside Ronaldo’s departure, Real Madrid still have a
squad of world class players to continue the Legacy of the legendry club, but
they will still can’t ignore the absence of a player who scores goals with an
average of 50+ goals per season.
Real Madrid is trying to fill the void by promoting the young talent and
focusing on bringing the youth like Marco Assensio and Vinicius Jr and trying to
build a team that can bring success by working collectively, but they are unable
to fill the void yet. That’s why, they are not even in the top 3 in the league
table (LaLiga) after playing 9 games in the league. It won’t be easy for Real
Madrid to compete without Ronaldo especially in the short term, considering that
Ronaldo is not only a goal scoring machine and the most decisive player but also
was the most marketable asset to help Real Madrid financially.
