No one is saying CR7 is not talented but it did not come naturally. He had to work hard and train to build the talent.

Amedino99:
there is no such thing as talented but not naturally. You either have the talent or not. Which type of talent is unnatural sef? Your arguments dey always dey one kind.

Odunayaw:
you posted something that says that the things that didn't come naturally to Messi he had to train and yet you cannot see that about CR7 too.

forgiveness:
"He was seven or eight when he first came here. He came with his father," he said. "It wasn’t easy to get the ball off him. He was very small, but he was always playing football. He never stopped. He was always playing, at home as well."
Andorinha played mostly seven-a-side matches back then and Ricardo recalls one game in particular when Cristiano was forced off at half-time.

"I don't remember exactly how many he scored, but he was almost always our best scorer," Santos said. "I remember a game back then that we played in Camara de Lobos. We were winning 3-0, Cristiano Ronaldo went off injured and we lost 4-3."

And he added: "Ronaldo was called 'abelhinha' (little bee) because he was small and he was very quick, so we called him 'abelhinha'."

zicky:
This guy literally called C.Ronaldo "untalented" and that he lacked "natural talent" unlike Messi.
You actually agreed that CR7 lacked natural talent

forgiveness:
Argentine opinion of CR7 will always be bias. Try again.

TheGoodJoe:
You have heard from Tevez and Di Maria. You can still keep arguing and shouting liar.

TheGoodJoe:

I always saw him as a kid that learnt and not naturally gifted.

This is what I consider natural talent.

I think Rodri was totally misunderstood. Rodri believes CR7 was not a naturally gifted kid. I understand that because same was for me. As a young kid, I used to even miskick the ball. I couldn't dribble or mark to save my life.

Then came Amunike. I used to study Amunike intently and tried to replicate the things he did. I used to spend long time on the field training alone.

Then came Celestine Babayaro. I learnt marking die hard from Celestine. I had personally recorded matches. I didn't miss Nigerian games to watch these guys on different periods.

They made me and I learnt so much. The icing was Overmars of Ajax. I learnt and practiced to become a good player. Still regret the offer of Coach Monday Sinclair to work with him today. He personally approached me and said he wants to groom me. I was more the school trajectory and turned down the offer.

So the "unnatural talented kid" became a guy that the person who groomed Finidi George and Richard Owobokiri gave a grooming offer to.

TheSuperNerd:
Ronaldo was a natural talent. Even the great Fergie saw that as much in one game before he pulled all the stops for Man Utd to sign him.

Alex Ferguson's eye >>>>>> Rodri's opinion

TheGoodJoe:
"We would also see him work relentlessly on his free kicks and he would tell us about something he had seen somewhere, and he wanted to perfect it, and he would work again relentlessly until he did... Nicky Butt, former CR7 teammate.

Messi would not need to work relentlessly on the training pitch to become one of the most awesome free kick takers of all time.

That is the difference.

There were things I couldn't do until I learned it by mastering the essentials and training on it repeatedly. So what do you think that was?

There are kids that could not juggle the ball at all. However with multiple training they become excellent ball jugglers.

So what do you think?

BascoVanVeli:
