We acknowledge the childishness of this but we really do need Ronaldo f***ed out of his last World Cup early doors please. It's the unnecessary Piers Morgan that's done it.
So. Farewell then, Cristiano Ronaldo. You were brilliant at football until you weren’t. “It’s all somebody else’s fault.” That was your catchphrase.
Which was really why Ronaldo felt the need to have some deeply tragic Partridgian last laugh by Having His Say in a disconcertingly boring BOMBSHELL INTERVIEW with Morgan, a man like Ronaldo tragically born without self-awareness but unlike Ronaldo in permanent sycophantic thrall to celebrity and power but with no discernible talent of his own.
In many ways, it’s the part of Ronaldo’s exit from United/English football that makes us most angry. We understand the emotion behind wanting to leave on his terms and getting the last word so pointedly. But was it really necessary to give Morgan another stab at relevance after his blessed invisibility in the broadcasting netherworld of Talk TV?
Ronaldo himself, meanwhile, prepares to embark upon his final World Cup campaign having deliberately and knowingly detonated this bomb on the eve of the tournament. Of course, he soon turned round and selflessly asked journalists to stop asking his Portugal team-mates difficult questions about him, something he himself must have known would happen and that he could easily have prevented.
On those terms, it has failed. The fans were not fooled. His legendary status at United is and always was bulletproof given just how very staggeringly good he once was and even last season still managed to show often enough to make the whole thing just about worthwhile, but there are few fans mourning his departure now nor blaming the manager or club for any of it. Ronaldo’s bombshell achieved only the bare minimum.
