The world of football has moments that come into memory. Ronaldo celebrated in a "Siuuuu" style when he won the Golden Ball in front of thousands of people in the stands, one of them. In his career, he has brought the Golden Ball home 5 times, 5 times he has been honored with a star, for life. But then, he himself said: "The Ballon d'Or is just a fabrication".
It sounds really controversial. In fact, many people immediately talked about the conflict inside CR7. But it can also be understood that, in fact, it is a change of perception over time. At the age of 28, people are happy to reach the top; at the age of 40, people look back and see that peak is not the destination.
Ronaldo's (not-life) career has been associated with many controversies and he accepted that. However, Ronaldo still respects the history of the award that has existed since 1965, still knowing that it is the dream of every player, but he also experienced enough to understand that behind the spotlight is another world: Voting is influenced by public opinion, the media, the trend of the times; "cenarios" that no one announces but many people implicitly understand.
Literature means writing, speaking or composing based on imagination, not necessarily reflecting reality. But the fiction that Ronaldo said is not fabricated, but is understood as the relativity of all elections. Not always do the results match the purely professional measure - even in his victories.
When calling it fake, Ronaldo did not deny the joy of the past, but may want to emphasize that in essence, awards are not the only truth to measure the value of a player. Like a person who was happy when buying a first car, but later, when he understood more about life, he realized that a car was just a means - not a measure of happiness.
The old days were fun. Now I'm more alert, that's true. No conflict, but the timing. After all, not just Ronaldo but for all of us, most of the problems are personal views. There are real values that do not change, but the way we look at them can change, depending on conditions, circumstances and time.
