this totally didnt need a new thread.

 

[Nicole]

I know THAT didnt, but I am going to be finding more clips of Ronaldo, so it is worthy of his own thread!

Ronaldo is good and all, but not enough do have his won thread.

Extraordinary technical ability and lightning quick but he's not very graceful is he.. :undecide:

 

[Nicole]

Ronaldo is very graceful...just not quite that time...he is only 19 you know...

 

[Martin]

Age has nothing to do with it, it's all in the way he moves, it's too irrational looking to be graceful. Graceful dribblers also move slower usually.

As you said, he's extremely technically gifted and his pace is nothing to scoff at either... so I don't really think his gracefulness matters that much. Maybe it's better in that it makes his movements less predictable, with his short quick steps.

btw Nicole, let's see those videos then mate

It's not like it's important to be graceful, just goes to influence my opinion of him in general. Doesn't take away any of his skill obviously.

Erm, I am TRYING to find more clips of Ronaldo, just bear with me, may take a day...or two.

 

[gray]

[MCPIERO]

What exactly do you mean by graceful? As in, not smooth?

you wanna see the stepovers. Roberto Carlos is probably more graceful at them

I think that's what he meant.

Kind of like Henry, who glides, while Ronaldo shuffles and takes really quick, short steps

 

[Nicole]

Yes, graceful is smooth.

But that was because Kewell tried to grab his shirt...(he's that famous)

 

[K10]

Well Graceful or not, Ronaldo still looks good with the ball. His lightning speed makes him look good.

 

[Martin]

To me graceful has to do with the movements looking natural and smooth. Some players move in ways that look very mechanic and unnatural, Ronaldo falls into that category sometimes. I think the "real" Ronaldo is (or at least was at his peak) more graceful considering he also moved really really fast.
