Soccer Star

Soccer is the most famous sport in the world, no doubt about it. Talking about soccer stars becomes interesting for many people. One of the most famous soccer stars in the world is Cristiano Ronaldo. He is considered as a complete attacker for some reasons, such as dribbling, controlling a ball, and best shooting.

First, his ability as a player is outstanding dribbling the ball. He is really good on dribbling ball through the enemy lines. He is a nightmare for the defenders. Dribbling the ball with high speed and impressive ball keeping makes the defenders hard to take the ball from him. Many defenders do a foul to stop him doing that. For the example is in UEFA Champions League 2013/2014, when Real Madrid meets Galatasaray. Ronaldo easily dribbled the ball through two defenders and finished it with a stunning goal.

Secondly, he has an amazing ability on controlling the ball. Many people were amazed on Ronaldo’s ball control ability. He is good both on the ground and in the air. He can control the ball even on the hardest position with a great timing. Ronaldo using all parts of his body such as foot, chest, head, shoulder or even with his back to control the ball. For example, when Real Madrid meets Malaga on Spanish League season 2012/2013. Ronaldo controls a long pass from Luka Modric with his back, he just looked a second for the ball direction and then turn his body to control the ball. The enemies just stare at Ronaldo, amazed by Ronaldo’s action.

The last reason seems to be the most important aspect that an attacker should have, power and accuracy on shooting. Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who often shoots from a long range. However, he is good in it. He already scores some goals from a great distance. With the shooting speed up to 112 km/h, surely it is a hard strike for the goal keeper to catch. For example, when Ronaldo is still in Manchester United season 2008/2009, MU against Sporting Lisbon. Ronaldo shot the ball from almost half of the field. Spineless shot makes the ball keep the speed longer than if the ball was spinning, people shocked because of his amazing long range goal.

There are a lot of things that make you amazed about Ronaldo, but as a complete attacker that three reasons is the most important. He is an amazing player, an attacker that the enemies should give more attention. He has good dribbling, ball control, and powerful shoot, perfect combination of skills that make him as a soccer star. You can learn to be a good player of soccer ball from Cristiano Ronaldo.
