After playing for Real Madrid for 9 seasons, scoring 45 1 goal, winning 4 Champions League gold cups and 4 Golden Globes, Cristiano Ronaldo left.

Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer from Real Madrid to Juventus, including salary, transfer fee and agent commission, easily exceeded 350 million euros, making it the second largest transfer in history after Neymar. Not only that, it is also a gamble for all parties involved.

Real Madrid lost their signature star, lost the soul of the team that scored a goal in every game last season. Juve, on the other hand, exhausted its resources, tried to realize the team's "Great Leap Forward" and gave up the idea of training players themselves in the past seven seasons. In the financial world of fair competition, Juve took a gamble, hoping that the team lineup will not be dissolved in the future after the transaction.

For Ronaldo, considering the uncertainty after the transfer, this may be the bravest step in his life. He left one of the best giants in the world, the city where he lived for a long time, the league he was familiar with and under his rule, and went to Serie A, which is currently one grade lower than La Liga.

Don't say this is because C Ronaldo is greedy for money. Judging from the figures released so far, his salary at Juventus is not higher than that at Real Madrid. If advertising income is included, his income will be even less.

C Ronaldo is 33 years old this year. Most professional players can only have a good competitive state for one or two years at this age. If their health can't keep up, most of them will go to low-level leagues and change a relaxed lifestyle. But Ronaldo is different. He will start another journey. No matter how much you despise Serie A and Juventus, you can't say that going there is equivalent to semi-retirement.

So why did Cristiano Ronaldo leave? Everyone around us has moved out of the same word-Ronaldo. He didn't feel love in the Bernabeu. In the past two seasons, people have sneered at this statement and even ridiculed it. But this is a fact, otherwise Cristiano Ronaldo will not give up the three-year guarantee contract worth 1 100 million euros.

Whether Ronaldo's judgment is correct or not, he really thinks so. And he thinks so, mainly because of the fans and teammates, but because of the club chairman Florentino Pérez.

Both sides have lost trust. For Cristiano Ronaldo, this is reflected in all aspects, not only because the club did not actively complain when he was suspended for five games earlier this year, but also because some high-level people did not include Cristiano Ronaldo in the reconstruction plan when planning the post-Zidane era earlier.

To tell the truth, Ronaldo's judgment may be right, and Perez's idea is also right. If you sell a 33-year-old player (he will be 34 in February next year), you can sell 1 100 million euros, and you can save more than 50 million euros in salary every year. Why not?

In the face of this kind of thing, what you should consider is not what this man has brought to the club, but what he can bring to you in the next few years. Although Cristiano Ronaldo is a pervert and trains harder than almost everyone, he can't beat the old man.

This is the crux of the problem, which is why Real Madrid has been open to the sale of C Ronaldo since the spring of 20 16. At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo had a little more than two years left in his contract, and the club thought it was time for them to make a choice. In February of that year, Cristiano Ronaldo was 365,438+0 years old and began to feel a little overwhelmed. If someone had offered the right price at that time, Real Madrid felt that Cristiano Ronaldo should be traded before his condition declined, so as to avoid the huge contract renewal becoming a burden for the club in the future.

That season, in the last 19 games, Ronaldo scored 2 1 goal. He not only led Real Madrid to win the Champions League trophy in 1 1, but also made great contributions to Portugal's first European Cup.

To some extent, Ronaldo's success is a double-edged sword for the club. Perez is a person who cares about himself and the image of the club. At this juncture, he can't sell Cristiano Ronaldo unless a club can offer astronomical figures (no one can afford this figure).

Although the club still thinks that Cristiano Ronaldo will go downhill and the huge contract renewal is a pit, they finally crustily skin of head to extend Cristiano Ronaldo's contract to 202 16 1 1 on October 6th.

After signing the new contract, Ronaldo was both happy and disappointed. Needless to say, he was disappointed with the club's lack of confidence in keeping him in shape. Naturally, like every top athlete, Cristiano Ronaldo finds it hard to accept being looked down upon.

He helped Real Madrid win the Champions League again that season and won it again in May this year.

But the deadlock continues. The invisible price tag is still hanging on Ronaldo, making him uncomfortable.

After renewing his contract, he kept scoring goals and won the Champions League and Golden Globe awards every year. Ironically, as expected, after each season, he will be one year older. Like Sisyphus, he pushed the stone up the hill again and again. No matter what he does, the passage of time will only give more reasons to those who question him.

Now, in order to prove the doubters wrong, he goes to another country without hesitation.

As we said before, from an economic point of view, only a fool will make the decision of Real Madrid. This is not just a question of income and expenditure. After giving up Cristiano Ronaldo, the club has more room to rebuild the team. After all, the average age of its current debut 1 1 is close to 30 years old.

Of course, this is Real Madrid and this is florentino. Considering that he always signed the biggest star in the past, you can't help thinking that this is just the first painful step to rebuild the Galaxy battleship. You know, the word Galaxy Battleship sounds a bit far away. He may sign Mbappé, Neymar or Azar, who knows.

Rebuilding the Galaxy Battleship is not a simple matter, it requires great ambition, but if Real Madrid is content with the status quo and does not strive for progress, it is not Real Madrid.

If it's just for Serie A, Juve don't need to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, because the club has won seven consecutive championships before. But the Champions League is another matter. Juventus have reached the Champions League finals twice in the past four seasons. Cristiano Ronaldo may be the one between Juventus and the Champions League, but Juventus is not only interested in the Champions League.

They want to take the last step to become a top club, among Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Bayern, and stand out in sponsorship fees and brand value. Cristiano Ronaldo has indisputable world-class influence, and his joining is a key step for Juventus to realize its ambition.

In short, Juve are betting on a 33-year-old veteran. Whether it's worth it is another matter.

After years of profit, Juventus is doomed to face losses in the 20 17- 18 season. With Ronaldo, the 20 18- 19 season will basically lose money, because his transfer fee and salary will increase the cost of the club by 80 million euros every year. Juve's broadcasting fee and stadium revenue are estimated to increase only moderately, because the broadcasting rights and naming rights have long been sold and the stadium revenue has been maximized.

Some well-paid veterans have left (Buffon, asamoah and Lichsteiner have all left), and then sell some existing stars (Higuain will probably leave, but I hope Juve will not sell role players like Dibala and pjanic), so that Juve should save some money. But if you buy Cristiano Ronaldo and don't match him with a good teammate, especially compared with the configuration he enjoyed at the Bernabeu, it is not a good thing for Juve.

Sponsorship fee income will rise, but there will be a certain lag compared with signing big cards. Therefore, people have reason to doubt whether this gambling will make Juve lose everything. However, if you are a Juventus fan, considering how Juventus, especially CEO Mallota, has carefully managed the club over the past seven years, bringing profits and achieving growth, you will believe that the club is not confused.

There is no doubt that Ronaldo's landing is a shot in the arm for Serie A. You may have to turn your calendar back to 20 years ago to find the last time Serie A welcomed the best football player on the surface. Coincidentally, the last superstar is also called Ronaldo. But the question is, how long can this effect last?

Cristiano Ronaldo certainly thinks he can play for a long time, and from the current signs, you can't refute him.

Finally, this is the key. He will tell you that when he was a child in Madeira, he watched Juventus win the Champions League on TV. When he was a teenager, he almost moved from Sporting Lisbon to Juventus.

But don't take these words too seriously. After all, after his excellent performance last season, it's hard to imagine anyone challenging himself like him. It is also hard to imagine that a person will give up a contract of 100 million euros for three seasons and leave the biggest stage of world football because the club owner has not served him well.

Florentino doesn't want to go down in history by selling Cristiano Ronaldo. He told the media that he was innocent. I want to go to cristiano ronaldo. He tried every means to keep him and improve his contract treatment, but Ronaldo still wanted to leave.

It doesn't matter whether you believe florentino or not. What matters is how he will rebuild Real Madrid. Don't forget that Real Madrid currently has Bell, isco, Vasquez, asensio and at least Benzema.

Can Real Madrid welcome another superstar? Not to replace C Ronaldo, because he is irreplaceable. But it only confirms Bernabeu's famous saying once again: no matter how big the player is, it is not as big as the club.
