How do we measure the success of the Ronaldo experiment? Is it by the number of trophies won during his playing career with us? or do we measure it in terms of exposure and revenue? Perhaps a combination?
When can we say the Ronaldo Project has succeeded, and when would it be considered a failure? Is it only a success if we win the CL, for example?
You can't really fail by signing him, just because who he is. We could determine it with the certain factos, few of them being these:
-Stats
-Legacy
-Revenue
-Winning
-Club attractiviness
There's just few, and he excels every single one of those. We can't really expect from a single player we buy more stat wise, we can't expect anybody be more marketable, we can't expect anyone bringing in more money than the most followed player on the planet either. On top of that, he's an example for all the others around and people really want to come to Juventus just because of him, so it gives us a better chance to win and that leads to the legacy he leaves behind, which will be to see within years.
As far it comes to the game yesterday, im not concerned at all. he looked pretty damn sharp IMO, almost couldn't believe how explosive he was at that age. It's normal to get more "ring rust" when you get older, it always takes little longer to get back on track with that age but he will be playing like he did before, that's for sure. He can easily play till 37-38 and be this good, your level just won't drop in a day as long as you keep looking after yourself, just like does so there's zero concern.
