It’s hard to argue that Cristiano Ronaldo has had a mind-scramblingly
good season this year, scoring a gigajillion goals in Real Madrid’s La
Liga title-winning campaign and pulling his side out of the mire on
several occasions – and, boy does he know it.
In an interview with MARCA, Ronaldo, asked about his summary of
Real’s 2011/12, doled out his end of season ‘marks out of ten’ and, ever
the humble little lamb, duly gave himself the most glowing of reviews:
“On an individual level I give my season a
10, but collectively we are a 9 because we want to win more – the
Champions League for example.”
Now, we’re not necessarily disagreeing with the creosoted
superduperstar on that count – it’s not like any aspect of his
incredible season and the various feats therein are deserving of any of
teacher’s red ‘SEE ME’ biro – but rating yourself above your team? Come
on kid, have a heart – Sami Khedira’s not that bad. Maybe we’re just
overly used to hearing a standard bland ‘well, the lads done brilliant…’
response to that line of questioning, who knows?
Ronaldo also vowed that he planned to ‘much improve’ his game next
term, though how one goes about improving on a perfect 10/10 is beyond
us – that said, if anyone can, it’s probably going to be the Great
Cristiano.
