World cup is coming. The World Cup, the peak event of football, is approaching and bringing with it the greatest players in the world. In football, as in life, people undergo processes, each in its own way. There is a desire to improve and be better, to gain insights from losses and to learn from victories, so that we will step up each time and become a better version. One of the football legends that brought self-improvement into art is Cristiano Ronaldo.
If Leo Messi is a member of another planet, a phenomenon that can not be explained, Ronaldo is the man who has developed himself beyond human boundaries, beyond abilities, beyond himself.
Ronaldo, who plays for Real Madrid and is the captain of Portugal, was born in the Madeira Islands and started playing for the Sporting Lisbon boys. In 2003 he moved to Manchester United, where he won three Championships and one Champions League. In 2009 he moved to Real Madrid, where he won two Championships and three Champions League titles.
In the final European Championship Championship, "Euro 2016", he led the Portugal team to the final, where they won against all odds.
In his biography "Ronaldo - The Pursuit of Perfection," written by Luca Caioli, Ronaldo's first coach, Francisco Alfonso, describes him as an exceptionally gifted child who always wanted to decide games and was in constant focus. In Sporting Lisbon's youth academy, he had a guide named Lionel Fontech, who described Ronaldo as wanting to win every game and that's why he came so far - because he kept wanting more.
And he certainly wanted more and became more sophisticated over the years. Ronaldo has 653 exiles and 207 cooks in 908 appearances for the teams he played for and the Portugal team.
Among other things, he has obtained several personal titles as the top scorer of the All-Time Champions League, Real Madrid's all-time top scorer, the all-time top scorer of the Portuguese team, the Golden Globe award with Leo Messi - 5 wins, etc.
In an interview with GQ last February, Ronaldo said: "I have a great ambition to succeed, I think everyone has to pursue his dreams, I pursue my own and I want to continue to do so, to improve all the time and achieve more goals. Unforgettable throughout my career, but I try to focus my focus more on the present than in the past. "
I think you can learn a lot from Cristiano Ronaldo. Be calm, I'm less talking about the abilities of the game, but about his attitude. Ronaldo is an example of a person who is looking for perfection and is doing so steadily. The process is Sisyphean and full of challenges but also brings out the maximum capabilities. Despite the ups and downs, so too in life, the basis of the approach is learning of perfection and perseverance in it - to be better players.
Happy World Cup!
