Recently a soccer blog ran a poll on "Who is the greatest Ronaldo" and 48% of the votes said Cristiano Ronaldo. The comparison was between Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Cris Ronaldo. My first reaction when I saw this was to put my hands on my head and just going No, No, No.....due to this injustice, I will now compare the GGR (Game to Goals Ratio) and SGR (Shots to Goals Ratio) statistics of both Cris Ronaldo and Ronaldo to settle this debate. To avoid confusion, I will use CR7 to refer to Cristiano Ronaldo, leaving the true Ronaldo - Ronaldo (hint! hint!)
Okay here goes,
CR7's amazing career statistics over the last three seasons (2005-2008)
Games played (143) Goals scored (80) Assists (35) Shots on Goal (328)
this results in
Games to Goals Ratio is 1.8:1
Shots to Goals Ratio is 4:1
He also have Fouls Suffered (366) meaning that he is either a diver (which we already know) or he gets real rough treatment from the hatchet boys. I believe that CR7 goes down much too cheaply at the slightest contact.
Ronaldo's career statistics at Real Madrid (2002-2005)
Games played (135) Goals scored (92) Assists (0) Shots on Goal (246)
this results in
Games to Goals Ratio is 1.5:1
Shots to Goals Ratio is 2.7:1
Ronaldo edges out CR7 in the categories of Shots to Goals Ratio and Games to Goals Ratio.
He is far more efficient and economical in putting the ball in the back of the net when a chance comes along. Ronaldo is also the more effective player and a goal is virtually guaranteed when he steps onto the field. Hence, there should be no further doubt that clearly there is only one Ronaldo and that is Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima. If you are still unconvinced, maybe this video will make it easier for you to accept this fact....
