Zlatan and Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic are two of the best soccer players in the world. They are going to play for a spot in the FIFA World Cup and it is unbelievable that one of this players will miss Brazil next year.

Zlatan plays for Paris Saint Germaine and for Sweden, his country. Zlatan usually does amazing goals and he is the star of both of his teams and one of the best strikers in the world.

Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid and for Portugal, and although his country team has a lot of good players, they don’t play really good together. In less than a few weeks, we will see how to giants will fight each other for what it is just one spot in the most important soccer tournament.

Beyond doubt, both of them are incredible players. Ibrahimovic is, in my opinion, the best middle striker in the moment. But still, Cristiano is now living what I think is the best moment in his entire career. After all, I really believe that Ronaldo deserves to go to the World Cup.

Can Bale stand up to Cristiano Ronaldo?

In his autobiography, Harry Redknapp explains that Bale should assert himself at Real Madrid by saying “His biggest test will be to step out of the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo with confidence. That won’t be easy”. Gareth Bale has to stand up to Cristiano because if not he will be an €86m fringe player.

It could be a similar case to Kaka’s arrival to Real Madrid in 2.009 which wasn’t a successful time for a former world player of the year. In these four years Kaka lost his confidence, in my opinion, because if you are on the bench every single game you start to think “what’s wrong with me”?

Kaka probably didn’t assert himself on the team.

Kaka’s example shows what Gareth Bale shouldn’t do. It is important to maintain his confidence in order to be successful in Real Madrid. to achieve this, he should find the balance with Cristiano so they can both play in the same team at their best levels together.

Too much money just for one person?

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best paid soccer player in the world. He recently signed a deal with Real Madrid worth $206 million. The contract will keep Ronaldo with the team until 2020.To celebrate, he scored three goals in a game against a team from Turkey on Tuesday. It looks like Ronaldo is earning his money.

I think that this is too much money just for one person. All this money could be used to help the world ―although he does have a foundation to help poor kids and some part of this money is going to be used to help people.

The good part is that Real Madrid is going to have one of the best players in the world for seven more years.
