Plus nowadays, you tackle like that, and it's an automatic red... which is fine.
Back then, you'll get hit like that all game.
They fractured his fibula on a foul while in Barcelona...

I do respect the fact that CR7 went to calcio though. It's not as tough as it used to be, but it's still more physical than La Liga or EPL...
Apparently, he was diagnosed with osteoarthritis (no cartilage on his knees) in 2004, well after he retired. Years of drug and alcohol abuse, combined with a trash diet will eventually catch up to you.
Unnecessary stress from years of walking around overweight did that to his knees. Not because his era was particularly more violent and brutal in terms of tackling.
See, this is exactly what i mean when i say nostalgia will make some people spin mythology into reality

You mean the part of the video where you see him bleed twice from his face?
You can regrow and heal your fibula, it's a bone. When your cartilage is severely damaged, it's gone forever. Sorry but your idol did it to himself.
He got his fibula broken on a tackle, that's what we're talking about. No, he didn't do it to himself, you can even watch the video, the guy that injured him was called Goikoetxea (warning, it's nasty). This was in 1983.
I recall seeing people get a broken leg on bad, mistimed collision since but not a tackle.
Don't get upset though, nobody is taking anything away from CR7 or Missi, tbh
Those are accidental elbows, not tackles, tbh...
Just say you didn't watch the game back then and you don't know what you're talking about, tbh... we already know, and it's really not a big deal, tbh...
The damage to the cartilage on his knees was not football related. It was a product of Maradona's drug/alcohol abuse and eating habits. That's what i was referring to when i said he did it to himself.
Strong points, my man. Not refuting anything i said in that post really showed me
You're the one who called those plays, flops in a previous post. So Ronaldo flopped after getting elbowed and left bleeding from his face. Ok
You have no ing idea what u talking about ma niffa
Give up on soccet tbqh
It will be best for all parties involved
truth bomb
Already pointed out, tbh, you just keep doubling down on stupid, you hate to see it, etc...
thinking an elbow to the head is the same thing as a kick in the back of the leg
Some n8gas never played a minute of futbol tbqh
A good kick on the back of your leg will drop you immediately its just a fact. And it hurts too cause back of the leg is not conditioned to be hit
And im not saying soccer is not marred with floppers. But trust me. A good kick in the back of the leg will just drop you plain and simple.
There's more than two elbows in the 2nd half of that video... and frankly, it's clear you have no idea what we're talking about.
Half of those plays probably ended up in a red card, even if they were flops. That's today's football, and I think it's actually better this way. You don't want to miss these great players for 6 months because of a butcher.
Like I said, these comparisons are complicated. I think a much more valid point would be that nowadays teams play more often and sometimes travel more.
Diego was always very fit athletically, and built like a bull, but not every player back then was. Nowadays even your lesser players need to be fit.
I was just thinking diego was built like a little tank. With little tree stumps for legs.
But his ball control, speed and genius along with the little tank body made him ing unstoppable.
Was just watching commentary from players that played in his era, like Zola, Baresi, Lineker... they all agree he was just a sturdy mofo even if he didn't look like it.
Also watched the HBO do entary, and he said he had to slow down once he got to Italy, after his first season in Napoli, because they'll kill him playing at high speed.
Bilbao
Those racist Basque s tried to end Diego’s career everytime they played Barcelona
One night Diego had enough and went Bruce Lee circa Game Of Death on their asses
Once again, not addressing anything i said in that post and deflecting with childish insults You only mentioned the fibula, which his a completely separate issue from the cartilage on his knees.
Sorry that your idol ate, drank and drugged himself until his knees blew up from years of excessive weight.
What do I have to address? I didn't bring up any cartilage... you were having that conversation with somebody else. I didn't even disagree with you on that point, tbh...
Now when you post a video of Ronaldo flopping left and right and try to compare to a guy that was getting epidural injections every weekend on his back, it's not nostalgia, you just have no idea what you're talking about.
And to an underdog team just like DieGOAT tbh
Talk to 140 and i'm_still_beta, they are the ones complaining about this thread turning into a Messi one, tbh.
