The circus around Cristiano Ronaldo in England is embarrassing for everyone involved

The English press have become obsessed with the Portuguese forward
Hyperbole and borderline embarrassing headlines are nothing new in the world of English football and its media, and the Premier League has a whole new circus to incessantly and tediously cover for the next few years.

Cristiano Ronaldo, if you hadn't noticed, has joined Manchester United in a move that only serves as more proof that some people in football just will not learn. The fanfare from supporters - and more worryingly the press - is as though the last three years of his career didn't happen, and that's not even taking the serious allegations that still hang over him into consideration.

STUPID BOYS
When Manchester United took the lead away to Young Boys in Tuesday night's Champions League game, it wasn't a surprise that Cristiano Ronaldo was the goalscorer, less so after his debut brace against Newcastle United - a club almost permanently in disrepair.

The fawning over Cristiano's presence in English has become so extreme that his teammates are now spoken about as though they exist solely to facilitate his personal objectives of winning and being referred to, not by name but, as a livestock emoji.

The Daily Star ran with the headline of 'Stupid Boys' on their back page on Wednesday morning, pointing accusatory fingers at both Jesse Lingard and Aaron Wan-Bissaka for handing the Swiss side the win.

Premature posting
Even Sky Sports and Gary Neville have fallen into the trap. Sky's usually excellent 'Monday Night Football' show descended into a debate about which of Cristiano or Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer of all time. In 2021.

Their graphic even went as far as to say that Cristiano Ronaldo had won two international trophies - big praise to the UEFA Nations League - while stating that Messi hadn't won any, which seemed a needless dismissal of the Copa America.

Neville, whose football analysis is typically on another level to most, came across as nothing more than a member of a Manchester United Boys' Club, defending the man who wears the United shirt and citing a lot of nonsensical reasons for doing so. Fortunately, Jamie Carragher was on hand to blow Neville's argument out of the water and leave the former United full-back scrambling and stuttering in an attempt to justify his legless argument.

The debate appeared to be no more than a desperate act that 'MNF' didn't need. It's a show that people tune in for regardless of the game being shown that night, as Carragher and Neville's discussions are captivating and insightful, but Monday's episode was worse than subpar. It was no more than a desperate attempt from Sky to involve themselves in a debate that they were on the outside of since 2009 because they had no horse in the race.

On Tuesday, Neville decided to play the role of Twitter troll, a role normally reserved for faceless profiles and handles consisting of a series of numbers. When Cristiano opened the scoring, he posted a video of himself laughing captioned with the inescapable goat emoji. That backfired when Young Boys went on to win the match.

Neville, oddly, ended up stating on 'MNF' that, despite Cristiano being the greatest player of all time in his opinion, Manchester United might have been better off signing someone like Harry Kane this summer. That won't please the rest of the Manchester United Boys' Club, and it definitely won't please Cristiano.

But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might just be in agreement with the ex-right-back. Six minutes after the Swiss side levelled, the coach took Cristiano Ronaldo off to replace him with Lingard. When Manchester United were in need of a goal, they took off Cristiano Ronaldo, just like Juventus left him out of their XI for their must-win final game of the 2020/21 season at Bologna, needing to win to qualify for the Champions League

The English media is trying hard to repackage the old fraud with the highest form of exaggeration. Gary Neville is a member of the old cult of Manchester United that used media influence to get rid of Mourinho and brought in another member of the cult
of '99 in Ole as a replacement. Despite Ole's shortcomings, to them, he is the best thing after slice bread. Ronaldo being a member of the cult is also enjoying the image laundry despite struggling in the bottom ten of world footballers for the last four seasons.
Throughout his time with Juve, he never made the podium of top 3 and no hope he would make it staying at Juve. So, he had to leave angrily to England, hoping the English press would come to his rescue despite his poor performances.

Soon Manchester fans will realize that Ronaldo is a luxury problem waiting to explode ... He only stand for tapin

Modified:: pls all man u fans should chill and stop quoting me, have u ask urselves this question, why did juve kicked Ronaldo out in that manner?? Come on the guy is 5times balon d'or winner why??

Ans: He doesn't do build up plays, current world class coaches cannot sign Ronaldo, he only wait for TAPINS

We been knew,only SCUMchester fans and TAP-INaldo FC clowns will say otherwise....

Let's see if he can deliver half of what King Mo has done in England

Na wa oooh.

The attention and hype on Saturday was just irritating from the British media. I was like wtf is this, make dem kuku change the name from game week 4 to game week Ronaldo.

Enemies of progress

The best the world has ever seen

Why so much hate towards Ronaldo? I guess marca is a Spanish newspaper, so I am not surprised. I don't understand what he has done wrong that they decided to write this nonsense. Manu and there fans are not complaining so what is marca business.

It is what it is, make una free Ronaldo jare

The fawning over Cristiano's presence in English has become so extreme that his teammates are now spoken about as though they exist solely to facilitate his personal objectives

This one really got me. The players are gonna be in for a long season. They should all prepare to be called average and that cr7 is the one carrying the team

Ah

English press can change like the wave of the ocean this moment they hype you, the next they tear you down, so disgusting!

Written by a pessi fan

Very soon

Na better circus when dem beat Newcastle

Some people are plain mad. How would you compare with the success of Penaldo

It is beyond embarrassing, they always want to create a narrative that the best player played in England. If Messi played in a team like Madrid or Man Utd who are media favorites, there will be no Messi vs Ronaldo debate

I no b gentle man, Am happy they lost

Why the beef?

I

Expensive2000:
The best the world has ever seen

MARCA News is asking......the best?... MAKA WHY

No be small thing.

Dude is talented

The English press is something else! I watched them deride Saul(the new Chelsea guy from Atletico Madrid) saying all sorts of craps about him! But those idiots will hail their white players as though they are the best thing after Zidane!

Yeye English press!

Skysport would take one hour discussing about Ronaldo every week like he is the best thing to happen to football.
Manchester United should be Renamed as Ronaldo United. The Obsession of the English Press is annoying

English press is crap as far as football news is concerned.

Ronaldo is an enigma no doubt, but his footballing strength has declined.

Ole made the biggest error by replacing Ronaldo with Lingard. Mason Greenwood would have done a better job
