Ronaldo's probably the best player in the world right now,and i feel like stuffing a zillion pins in my eyes after this..but he's also very annoying,and someone who's very easily hated.He's very gifted yes,but what he does isnt showmanship.Its annoying.There are very few people other than Man utd fans who appreciate such showmanship.Stepovers can get very annoying after a while(Anyone remember Denilson?),and Ronaldo does a bit too much of them.Way more than required.
There is nothing wrong with showmanship.Ronaldinho does it,Messi does it,Totti does it...but they arent half as annoying as Ronaldo.Ronaldo overdoes it.They dont.Its hard to argue against Ronaldo's skill as he's got a bundle of them,but its very easy to argue against his annoying showmanship.
