If he cries at the end, he gets labelled a cry baby.
If he celebrates goals, he's showboating.
Ronaldo is an amazingly talented and hard working footballer, but as a man, very socially inept and quite detached from reality. Wants to be loved, but doesn't know how he should go about it, and often acts surprised when he shouldn't. It's very telling that he's such a controversial figure around here, with a significant number of people not liking him at all. An uber cnut like Figo was respected almost everywhere in the country.
He's a terrible captain, for so many different reasons. Narcissists playing for stats are poor leaders.
But then that's not his fault. It's not even an armband issue, because I don't see anyone with the balls to act as
de facto leader, a vice-captain if you want. The rest of the team, the media, the managers and bureaucrats surrounding the NT are a bunch of spineless idiots. No one steps up, and they seem comfortable with an inept leader to soak all the pressure. Someone posted somewhere that we don't have a National Team, but a severe case of Ronalditis. He really should just do what he did at United and Madrid. Play football and be a part of the team.
